allow the free use of every stream and
pond for sport or food. Why are we
fenced round with laws that restrict
our unbridled use of what in every
sense belongs to US and in the earlier
years under the circumstances then ex-
listing was free and unrestricted; and
in the condition of the country could be
allowed TO go to waste, nor needed the
care we now are obliged to give to keep
the scant remnants from destruction?
Entirely outside of the beauties i'm
parted to the landscape of the forest
covered hills and plains, we need the
products of these forests to contribute
to our life. Think of the vast amounts
of coal now used in every country
town Tor no other reason than that
wood IS not to be had to warm our
houses-of the demands of wood for
paper-of the amounts needed in keep
ing repairs. TO say nothing of con-
structing new buildings, for the boxing
of our manufactured products. and YOU
will be somewhat prepared to look for
the source of supply The clean cut
ting of our soft wood growth, particu-
larry the pine and hemlock and in MANY
parts Of the State. spruce, leave the
ground so bare that with the usual
course of natures restocking no one
now living sees the land occupied. but
always q barren waste, unless the adj
joining land has been better handled
to allow it to seed over onto the strip
ped lots. The leaving of the small pine
and hemlock trees under 10 inches at
the stump, worth but little for present
sale, in a short time of themselves and
by their seeding restock the ground
and in comparatively few years YOU
| can go over the lot again. We have
| not in this bill taken into consideration
hardWoodS or poplars, spruce or cedars
AS the cutting out of the hardwOods
VIII beneft the growth of the pines
and hemlockS and in our section much
| poplar has to be cut young as it dies
before attaining any large size but
still affords profitable crop when sold
to paper mills, and coming in gives q
! dividend between the Maine crops of
| real timber. The exemption from fax
of wood lots of land set apart for for
est growth has not been operative T
do not know of a single case of our
! present law having been taken adyan-
tage of.
Many landowners both large and
small, have advised and heartily ap-
proved Of this measure, though coming
late, as being needed to stop the pres

/ use 10 stronger tcrm) methods of
handling our timber lands.
For my part l feel that this bill does
not go far enough, but in consideration
OF the interest of the stave industry of
the eastern portion of the State border
ing on the coast and the fact that the
! large timber owners of the north
crn portions do not now cut ~
small as this bill calls for we
feel that this is most useful
nom an educational point of view. as

RAIN LOSES FOR CRACKERS Prevents Three Winning Runs Counting. CLIMBERS TAKE GAME, ? TO I All the 'Iallies That Count Are
 Made in First.
  Walsh Rlows Up in the Seventh and Forces in Run--HeIm Does
 No Better, But Rain
 Wins Anyhow.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug 15.-(SpeciaL)-- Montgomery got the best of Atlanta in the opening game to 1, but the Climb CTS will have to thank the rain for the win.
 It was an awful collection of hard lines the Crackers hit along about the seventh inning--the worst ever. With | the score to l against them at the finish of the sixth. they waded into the seventh, showed across three runs be- fore Montgomery could extinguish them, changing the situation to to for the home brigade. The Climbers began their half and with one gone the rain arrived and put the proceed ings out of business.
 Umpire Rudderham waited the thirty minutes and then called 1t off. At lanta had batted first and was treated as the visiting team and as Montgom- cry was due her half of the seventh inning before making a completion Of the round. the game had to be reverted to even Innings under the ancient base ball rules.
 The same total of the runs of the afternoon was turned up in the first chapter. the Climbers counting their two then and the Crackers the one. That was McKenzie's only bad round. During the rest of the fray he had the Montgomery men on the bunk giving them no bunch to their remaining i've hits. except in the fourth. when two dropped without damage.
 Walsh was working well. The locals drew three hits in the third, and while under most conditions run would have resulted, 1t so happened that there was nothing doing. As Walshs S blow-up came to the seventh 1t cannot be counted against him, as that round has no bearing on the official battle.
 One hit was the whole hitting for the Climbers in the first but a walk. a sacrifice and wild pitch mixed in with the safety tells the tale. Houtz drew a pass from Scotty and Baxter did the sacrifice. Then Ball flew out to left and Dyer misplayed when Hen line shot one to third. Perry singled and this showed Houtz over With the initial run. Henline went to third in the meantime, and the wild pitch counted the second.
 In our section of that inning Becker walked, Winters flew out to center and Paskert tripled to right, scoring Becker. Fox got one through in a chase between third and the plate. That Is the full history the run get
