FORMER LITCHFTELD WOMAN
 DEAD

DEAD.
 Mrs. Harriet Addis, widow of the late Chester Adds of Litchfeld, died Sunday in Brewster, N. r., at the resi- dence of her son, E. w. Addis, editor of the Brewster Standard, in the sev- enty-seventh year of her age.
 She was daughter of Chauncey Waters, of Hartford, and was born in that city at the old Colonial Tavern, in which her grandfather, Benjamin Wa ters, in 1776 was mustered into service in the Revolutionary army. The build ing removed from it's original site on what is now Trinity street, still standing in Park street.
 In 1850 she married Chester Addis and thereafter lived in Litchfeld, where she was prominent in the Meth odist church, as a member of the Loyal Ladies, who, during the civil war, rem dered valuable aid in sending hospital supplies to the soldiers, and in other circles where ready and willing hands were required, She possessed voice of rare power and quality and was for over sixty years leader in church singing.
 Her husband died in 1888 and in 1891 she moved to Brewster and had since resided with her son. Until last year she was a member of the Methodist church choir in that village and fune- ral services were held there Monay evening. The interment was at the West cemetery on Tuesday, Rev s. c. Heam, of Brewster, and Rev, R. F. shinn, of Litchfield, officiated. .-Litch- field Enquirer.

TIMBER STATISTICS FOR 1906.
Figures to be Gathered by Forest Ser vice and Census Bureau-success of Last Years Work.

Figures to be Gathered by Forest Ser
 vice and Census Bureau-Success of Last Years Work.
 Schedules for the collection of statis- tics of forest products for 1907 have been sent by the Forest Service to all engaged in industries directly depen- dent upon our forests. This work is a continuation of that done in 1906 by the Forest Service in cooperation with the National Lumber Manufacturers association. It then received the uni- versal approval and support of the users of wood throughout the United States. The work was undertakei to meet the urgent demand for accurate data upon the annual drain upon our forest resources. The results proved so valuable that the information will be compiled annually, in accordance with the plan outlined by the Forest Service a year ago.
 To add to the efficiency, accuracy and promptness of compilation of the data the Bureau of the Census and the Forest Service are this year co-opera- ting in gathering the statistics. This plan insures to the manufacturers the announcement of results at the earliest possible moment after all the reports have been received Several new fea- lures will distinguish the collection and publication of figures for 1906, now under way. The figures for the pro- duction of lumber were wlthheld last year until returns had been received from every state. This year the pro- duction of each state will be announced as soon as the returns are in. The failure of the manufacturers of a sin gle state to furnish the information promptly will therefore delay the pub lication of results for that state only. The total production of the United States will be compiled when all state reports are complete.
 The lines upon which inquiry will be made are practically identical with those of last year, covering lumber, lath and shingles, pulpwood, railroad ties. tan bark, veneer, wood distilla- lloH dHu cOopSTdBe. A slIlBle duulllou has been made in an inquiry as to the consumption of telegraph and tele- phone poles
 The Service believes that the statis- tics for 1906 will be more complete and more promptly obtained than those gathered last year If so, their prac- tical value to wood producers will be errna caJ C,1onnSe dannp1c very largely upon the ready co-opera- tion of manufacturers throughout the country.

 Only few days since a mother re- marked, "I must join your dress-mak- ing class to get my spring sewing done" Aside from the knowledge gained, the money saved should appeal to the thrifty woman.

 There are also some vacancies in the classes in cookery. A class in simple sookery meets on Thursday evening, a ! method class. on Friday evening and a cooks class on Thursday afternoon.
 New pupils will still be accepted in the embroidery, bookkeeping and sten- ography classes, If one is looking for health and amusement they should visit the gymnasium classes, where tbaxy will a1sO find a cordial we1conoa good fellowship and wholesome fun, Class office open from 3 to g p. m. at 56S Chapel street.
