dacks tell the story to summer resort visitors these days. We have been obliged to go further south each year for pine-to Virginia, then to North and South Carolina, then to Georgia. and now the pine numbering opera tions are mostly carried on in inac- cessible portions of Florida, Tennes- see. Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. The famous Georgia pine that does reach New York now comes from far oil Oregon and Washington, where there is still an enormous supply. The cost of bringing 1t here, however, makes 1t so very expensive that there is not a great market for 1t in the east.
 It is the old story of willful waste In the years of plenty. Not so long ago there was so much lumber in the country that farmers used to burn 1t up, when clearing their land, in order to get rid of it. Pioneers, as rule, never appreciate the value of their resources; they squander and destroy without any regard for the future. This we have been doing in the Unit ed States. and only now are we be- ginning to realize our folly.
 The lumber required to supply rail. road ties alone is enormous, and the timberland is stripped continually to meet the demand. It is estimated
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-08-31

that 100000 acres of forest are cut
 annually to supply the railroads with
 ties. and that 15.000.0 are required
 each year. At the average price of 35
 cents each, the amount of money put
 into railroad ties yearly amounts to
 $6.250.000. Railroad ties don't last
 more than four or five years and have
 to be renewed constantly. This of course is a great expense, and recent.
 ly some railroads have laid plans to plant trees along their tracks in order to have their own forests from which to secure the needed ties. Several southern railroads have adopted this Idea, and t promises to be success. One railroad company has thus plant. ed several thousand acres. and hopes in 20 years hence to have an excellent growth of pine. This Is a good idea and could we'll be followed by nearly all the railroads. Much of the land beside the tracks Is not fit for culti. vation, but is an excellent soil fin which to grow trees. In this way acres upon acres could be reclaimed and made to yield fine lumber which would give an inexhaustible supply of ties.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism. neuralgia, gout headaches, dizzy spells. nausea, indigestion. weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay a moment Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood. cleanse and stimulate the kid neys. regulate the urine cure hack ache, dizziness and languor. and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.

War to Go on Forever.

There will be need of guns just 30 long as there is a man left to coyet the property of another man." de clared Hudson Maxim of New York. inventor of smokeless power, at the Raleigh last evening.
 We may have peace conferences and talk of disarming the world. but there will be battles and strife until the earth has grown cold and the sun has gone out. Not until then will the rivers of blood run dry. Yet the basis of war has shifted. Battles are now fought in an area about 20 times as great as those in ancient times. For instance. 300.000 were slain when Attila was submerged in the battle of the Marne. The slaughter in war. fare is not now nearly so great as 1t was. War is no longer a question of concentration of forces and close fighting. but of wealth, of science against science. Smokeless powder wounds more men and strikes more at long distance. In ancient times lives were spent in war; now wealth is spent Then all able-bodied men went to war; now nine out of every ten must stay at home to make mon. ty for the rest to fight with. Thus as war becomes more dificult and men become educated to higher ideals we have hope that there may be less of var and less of the corruption that war brings."-washington Post

Young Man FoIlows Sweetheart to | Long Isiand-Attempted Eiope-

New York.-Miss Luda Ankrin, . 17-year-old Kentucky beauty. is m un- willing prisoner in the palatial home of her aunt, Mme. Julia Mays. on Dit mars avenue, Steinway, L. l., while Curtis Day, an adventurous suitor, who has vowed to marry her in spite of locks and bars, and dragon aunts, has stormed the house Intellectually for week to carry of the woman he loves.
 Only the foresight and action of the girls father prevented an elopement in Kentucky, and the extraordinary vigilance of the aunt since-which went even to the extent of calling upon the police-has kept the pair apart.
 On the other hand her two sisters, who, like the rest of the world, love a lover. are working hard to bring about the marriage, and the chances are that in the end they will be success full.
 The Ankrins are members of an old Kentucky family, wealthy in lands and blooded horses. and the young lady's youth and family pride seem to be the reasons for keeping the sweet hearts apart.
 Mime. Mays Is well known as the proprietor of rest cure that is pat ronized by members of the fashion oh1o cot of Niaw Vorly
 Luda Ankrin is the favorite niece of Mime. Mays, and has spent a good part of her life with her. Last spring she went to Catlettsburg, Ky, for the summer, and in short time 1t was evident romance had sprung up be- tween her and Curtis Day, man who was well thought of in his native town, but to whom the Ankrins ob- jected. The affair was not taken se- riously by the girls father until a week ago. when Day formally asked for the hand of his daughter. He was refused with little ceremony and considerable spirit. The young swain replied that he would marry her anyway.
 This happened at two o'clock in the afternoon, and on the train that left Catlettsburg at 3:30 Miss Ankrin was sent away to her aunt in New York with explicit instructions that she should not see nor have any com munication with the man who wished to marry her.
 For severali days she was kept in the house of her aunt. and 1t was be- lieved the romance was at an end. Early this week, however, Day arrived ip town, engaged detectives and insti- tpted a systematic search for his sweetheart. Mms. Mays has an of flee on West rwenty-third street, and finally detective located her there.
 A stormy scene took place between the young man and the aunt, and Day left vowing he would find the girl he loved, and If necessary take her away by force.
 Mime. Mays, frightened. jumped into an electric cab and started for her home. She stopped at the Astoria police station. and asked for protec- ton, and the officer on the post was

position means that he will have
charge of all the loading and unload

friends yesterday that circumstances
of a cuisines nature had arisen. making
it impossible for him to enter the con-

than would be the case if he was IN
public life.
Captain Newman has recently ten
dered the mayor his resignation as
chairman of the committee on pub
lie wa rs. and when questioned by a
News representative yesterday as to
why he had relinQuisned this very
important position he stated that he
did not seem to be in accord with
the administration as to the proper
conduct of the public works depart
ment and for that reason ne thought
the proper course for him was to sur

people of Brunswick in the capacity
of chairman of the public works de-
partment for many years and under
very adverse circumstances he has
succeeded in giving us a splendid i'm
provement in the streets and thor
oughfares Of the city. His resigna-

has never been published. and will
come in the nature of a surprise 20
