Went Unealled For.

Deacon Eden Libby Of Bridgtons
Me-. was a man Of rugged virtues and
indomltable will Some winters ago
while working In his wood lot he cut
his foot badly. but bandaging the
wound roughly and putting snow into
his boot to stop the bleeding, contin-
ued at his work until nightfall. Sad
to relate, he took cold, and death re-
suited few days later. A local char
acter named Farrar was clerk and gen.
eral utility man at the Cumberland
House In Bridgton village at that time
and was accustomed to make note on
the hotel register from day to day Of
local events-the weather, etc. In his
chronicle Of this sad event he wished
to indicate that Deacon Libby's death
was unnecessary. The following may
be seen today on one Of the old regis
ters at the Cumberland House:
Deacon Eden Libby died today. He
cut his foot badly, did not have the
wound attended to and went to meet
his God uncalled for"

Cedar Wood for Lead Pencils.

The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles In everyday use, and
nearly 32O, 900, 900 pencils are manu-
factured in this country every year.
70 manufacture these millions of
pencils there are required 10000
tons, or I, 300. 900 cubic feet of wood,
so that each day in the year 300 tons,
or 20, 600 cubic feet of wood are used
for pencils. Since practically all OF
the wood Is red cedar, and since the
pencil industry is steadily growing,
the supply of red cedar is greatly
depleted; yet no substitute has been
found tor it. Leaving out of con-
sideratlon the imported pencils. the
average educated American over 10
years of age uses six pencils OF home
manufacture each year. len years
ago ha used less than five.
Red cedar has a soft, st. aight grain,
end WREN grown under best oondi-
tions is very free from defects. Be-
cause of its peculiar qualities no
equally good substitute for It has
ever been found, and 1t is doubtful If
any other wood using industry is SO
dependent upon a single species as
the pencil industry Is dependent
upon red cedar. In fact, red cedar
suitable for pencil manufacture is the
only wood the price of which is
always quoted by the pound.
Strange as it may seem, no steps
have heretofore been taken to provide
for future supply of red cedar.
This has been largely due to lack of
information on the rate of growth
and the habits of the tree, and to
the widespread belief that second
growth red cedar never reaches
merchantable size.
In accordance with its policy to-
ward the conservation and economic
use of commercial woods, the forest
service has made a careful study OF
red cedar and has come to the con-
clusion that it can profitably be
grown IN regions of its development.
Several changes are recommended
in present forest management In order
to secure the desired growth. In the
southern forests the cedar will have
to be given better chance instead of
being considered, as now, negligible
quantity in its younger stages, and
many of the torest-grown trees which |
are now cut tor fence posts cap pro-
fitably be left to attain their full
development and thus become avail
able tor pencil wood.

Changes in the Game Laws.

The last legislature made number
of amendments to the fish and game
laws of the state. All OF the changes
IN the law are the result of the action
of the California state .Srortmen' g
league, which organizations gave the
subjects long consideration.
One of the new sections provides
that those who hunt, pursue. or kill
wild birds or animals protected oy
law must procure license therefor,
and goes into effect July 1, 1907.
Licenses to hunt during open sea-
sons are issued by the county clerk
or the state board Of fish commiss- :
toner's. Licenses are issued to citi-
zens who are bona tide residents for
81, citizens not bona fide residents
s1O, to non-citizens for s25.
The license-holder must exhibit 1t
on demand of any authorized peace
officer. Transfer of a license forfeits
1t. Punishment is by fine OF $40 to
800, or ten to one hundred day In
jail, or both. 1he act does not apply
to hunting upon ones own land.
The game law Is materially amended
and is now In effect. 1t is unlawful
between February 18th and October
18th to kill or have Ia possession wild
duck, valley quail, partridge. rail.
curlew, ibis, plover or other shore
bird. Between February 18th and
September 1st one may take or have
mountain quail; or prior to Septem-
ber 1, 1909. any grouse or sage hen.
These cannot be taken between Octo-
Der 18th and July 18th of the follow
ing year. The days bag Is limited
to twenty quail or doves and
thirty-hve ducks.
Between January lst and September
1st it Is unlawful to kill or have In
possession any species OF tree
squirrel, or to have more than twelve
during one season.
1t is unlawful to trail any wounded
deer with dogs. No person can kill
or have in his possession more than
two deer during any one season.
1t is unlawful to kill or have in
possession any meadow iarks or
robins or to take the eggs of these
birds; this applies also to certain
other birds.
There are many other provisions,
too numerous and lengthy to mention
here, but every owner OF a gun
should obtain a copy of the amended
laws and familiarize himself there
with.

Body of Fireman OImstead Found.

Sims (Shasta Co. }, March 29.-The
body of fireman Edward Olmstead,
who was killed in the wreck here at
the beginning of the recent great
storm, was found by. Japanese this
morning a mile and quarter below
where the accident occurred, in a
clump of bushes. The body was In a
fair state of preservation, and the
only disHgurIng mark was a hole in
the forehead Coroner Huston was
promptly notified and word comes
that he has left Redding for this
place. The body will be shipped to
Ashland, where the dead fireman
resided. He has relatives in Sacra-
mento.
Since the fatal accident earnest
efforts we're made to locate and re-
cover the body, but until this morn
ing they were unsuccessful. Many
thought it had been caught in th 9
cabin of the wrecked locom otive, which
is still under water. Several attemps
were made to reach it, but none sue
ceeded and one man nearly lost his
life in the effort. Engineer DickeV
was hurried to San Francisco as soon
as possible to get him there. HIS
injured leg will have to be amputated.
The body was forwarded to Sutter
Creek, where it arrived Tuesday
evening, and the interment was on
Wednesday in the cemetery there,
where the deceased s father Is buried.
Young OImstead was born in Volcano.

A great branch Of literature, un-
doubtedly the most widely popular and
one in which England showed the way

From Our Exchanges

President Roosevelt has just order
ed thirty-two new forest reserves
withdrawing 1900, 600 acres from
settlement. Nothing in his official
career will entitle president Roose-
velt to the more enduring gratitude
OF the American people than his
action in creating forest reserves and
thereby outstanding the national
resources. Yet in the face of such
action by the president it is amazing
that the governor of California should
apparently be hostile to the forestry
department. Exchange.
