The Railroad Time Tables.

Considerable complaint has been re-
celved by the readers of various news
papers because railroad time tables are
no longer printed in the advertising
columns Of such papers. 1t should be
stated in justice to all concerned that
these tables have been regarded as partly
news and partly advertising and the rail
road companies have been charged re-
duced rates for the space occupied by the
time tables. No legislation was enacted
at Montpelier that would prevent the
railroads from continuing to publish time
tables, nor is this matter affected by the
new national railroad law. In Maine,
Connecticut and other States the papers
are still publishing the railroad time
tables.

Timber Statistics For 1906.

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 dependent upon
our forests. This work is continuation
of that done in 1906 by the Forest Serv-
ice in cooperation with the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association. 1t
then received the universal approval and
support of the users Of wood throughout
the United States. The work was un-
dertaken 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 complied 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 cooperating in gath.
ering the statistics. This plan insures
to the manufacturers the announcement
of results at the earliest possible moment
alter all tne reports nave been received.
Several new features will distinguish
the collection and publication of figures
for the production of lumber were with
held last year until returns had been re.
ceived from every State. This year the
production of each State will be an
nounced as soon as the returns are in.
The failure of the manufacturers of "A
single State to furnish the information
promptly will therefore delay the publ
cation 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 distillation, and
cooperage. A single addition has been
made in an inquiry as to the consump.
ton of telegraph and telephone poles.
The Service believes that the statistics
for 1905 will be more complete and more
promptly obtained than those gathered
lat year. If so, their practicle value to
wood producers will be greatly increased.
Success depends very largely upon the
ready cooperation of manufacturers
throughout the country.

Two Old Bank Books,

In 1854, the year that the Wndham
County Savings Bank at Newfane was
established, a deposit of So was. made in
the bank in the name of Eugene Field
afterwards poet and journalist, Newfane
being the home of the Field family
The account has never been disturbed
and since the deposit was made the
bank book never has been at tie bank.
The account now amounts to $69.67.
In the following year, 1855, a deposit
of $40 was made in the name of john l..
Burditt, now paymaster of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad
Co. That account never has been dis
turbed, and the deposit and interest now
amounts to 1874. Occasionally Mr.
Burditt sends the bank book TO have the
interest credited, but he always is parlic-
ular not to have the account drawn off
on another book, as he wishes to pl e.
serve the original handmade deposit
book. which has green covers and is
without any printing whatever
The Field book is now in the possession
of Eugene Fields widow in Chicago.

forestry in Verm ont.

People who buy lumber as well as
supply from an academic standpoint real
ize the importance of applying sound
principles of forestry to the woodlands
of Vermont. The Canadian government
for it is insisting in connection with the
sale of timber lands in all parts of the
Dominion that trees under certain limit
shall not be cut and that certain other
regulations looking to the perpetuation
of timber lands shall be rigidly observed
In the not distant future the forestry
movement started by our national gov
eminent will take on as large proportions
as that which embraces the whole Domin-
ion.
The Legislature of Vermont took a
commendable step last fall in the direc-
ton of forestry promotion in the passage
of an act providing for the establishment
of a nursery for the forest seedlings in
connection with the Vermont agricultural
experiment station. The sum of $500
per year for five years was appropriated
for this purpose, but the experiment sta
zion IS to provide the land necessary for
such nursery at its own expense.
This project ought to have a far-reach-
ing educational value for citizens of
Vermont having waste land or land on
which timber has been mostly cut, The
act provides that the experiment station
as soon as practicable must furnish to
applicants who are residents or land
owners in Vermont material for forest,
planting at as near actual cost as can be
computed, such material to be used only
for forest planting in this state.
In accordance with the provisions
of this act Artur NJ Vaughn of Randolph,
who has just been appointed forest COM
missioner by Governor Proctor, is re-
quired to furnish to applicants directions
for planting and so far as he is able he is
also required to furnish skilled assistance
or supervision for such work, the applic-
ant to pay the expense of such assistance.
The act provides that surplus stock
shall be sold to parties outside the State,
but it is to be hoped the demand will be
so great on the part of residents that not
a single tree will be sold

Like Finding Money.

1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
fifty-cent pieces for quarter, but that is
what this offer really means, for it is
only recently through the solicitation of
Druggist milford R. Burt that this med
icine could be bought for less than fifty
cents. He urged the proprietors to allow
him to sell it as this reduced price for a
little while. agreeing to sell a certain
amount. The result has justified his
good judgement, for the sale has been
something remarkable.

Our fathers builded well when they
started this nation off without the
slightest connection officially with any
church or religion. Government and
church never have and never wi work
well together. France made the mis-
take, under the first Napoleon, of re-
establishing a State religion. Now it
is casting off the towlines. and much
trouble arises. The Vatican will in the
end lose nothing by yielding its temporal
powers. 1t can better fulfill its mission
in it's own special field, without de-
pendence on any government.-Randolph

is condition not often prevailing in
midwinter, even in the mild climate of
the coast Of Texas. Beginning early in
December. Strawberries began to ar
rive on the local market, and since
that time the consignments have in
creased to such a volumne that local
merchants have had to refuse to ac-
cept the fruit until stocks were re-
duced. From So crate the price has
dropped, until the latter part of last
week they went begging at $3.50, one
merchant saying that a few more days
or-warm weather would see strawber-
ries selling at the midsummer price of
$i.50
Reports from Alvin, Hitchcock, Dick

berry patches are red with ripe fruit,
and that the fruit is maturing faster
than the demand from consumers can
care for it. One grower offered local
merchant a consignment of twenty crates
and he was obliged to refuse them.
Other growers have written to Calves
