RICH IN REcUPERATlvE POWER.
Forests Of Northern Maine That More
Than Hold Their Own.

That is the one astounding thing in
this whole region of northern Maine,
the regenerative power of the forest.
Men with axes have been hacking at
the giants of the woods up here for
two centuries and more. The goli-
aths have been laid low, indeed, yet
for one tree that stood on a given
space along the hillsides and in the
valleys Of No. century ago, Ave
stand to-day.
: They are giants no more, it is true,
but they are splendid trees, and just
as the Liliputians might prevail where
CULVER was bound, so these trees hold
their own against man and even press
in on his cleariogs and wipe them out.
There must be many more lumbermen
with axes along the Macwahoc. the
Moluncus and the Mattawamkeag be-
fore this beautiful region will fail Of

HOUSES MAY GO HOME TO
THE PRESIDENT.
GEN. WORTHlNGTON
STRICKEN IN HOUSE
Former Member from Nevada At.
tackled by neutrality-suspicious..
tions Bill Contains Great Amount
Ways and Means Session.

Washington, Dec. H. Congress
has scheduled a return to Presi-
dent Roosevelt of that part of his an.
nual message to congress relating to
the secret service in which the presi-
dent reflected, in the opinion of the
leaders of both houses, upon the men,
bers for restricting the use of secret
service operatives to those duties pre-
scribed by law. The first time such
action was taken against the national
executive was in the administration of
President Jackson when he castigated
congress for its attitude on the nation
al bank question. President Tyler
was the last president to feel the sting
of such action, in 1912, when he crit
icised congress because of it's meth
DDS in handling an administration
veto.
Ire Of Tawney Up.
This action was agreed to by the
leaders of both houses, but the de-
tails were kept secret over night. It
is now proposed that Representative
Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the
house committee on appropriations,
which recommended a limitation on
the secret service, or some one desig-
mated by him, shall request the house
to appoint select committee to de-
termine what action shall be TAKEN
The action of this select committee
has already been determined upon as
indicated. When the committee re-
ports to the house, debate will be pos
sible, although every effort has been
made by the house and senate lead
ers to make the vote of congress unan-
imous. If the house accepts the re-
port of the committee it's resolution
will be sent to the senate to be con-
Cured in.
Hold Conference with Cannon.
Leaders of the senate and house
were in conference in Speaker Can
mons room Thursday afternoon to con-
slider what action shall be taken con-
corning that portion of President
Roosevelt's annual message which re-
lates to the secret service Among
those present were Senators Hale and
Aldrich, Speaker Cannon and Repre-.
sentatives Tawney and Perkins. The
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-12-16

last named has prepared a resolution
providing for the appointment of a Sc
lect committee of the house to con-
slider that part of the presidents mes
sage regarded as offensive to members
of congress. The question of expung-
ing from the Congressional Record all
of the alleged offensive matter has
been suggested.
Gen. Worthington Stricken.
Gen. Henry G. Worthington, for
mer member of congress from Nevada,
the only living pall-bearer at the fu-
neral of Abraham Lincoln, was strick.
en- with apOplexy on the floor of the
house Thursday afternoon. He was
conveyed to cloak-room in a critical
condition.
Because of his four-scOre years Gen.
Worthington's friends view his illness
with alarm. He fell heavily to the
floor in the center aisle and members
at once went to his assistance. Rep
resentative Burton of Delaware, who
is physician, pronounced the case
apoplexy and gave the stricken man
medical attention. Later he was ta-
ken to his home in this city.
Gen. Worthington at one time also
was minister to Uruguay and the Ar
gentine Republic
Appropriation Bill Reported.
The legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill was reported
to the house Thursday from the COM
mittee on appropriations by Repre-
sentative Bingham, of Pennsylvania.
1t carries $31, 667, 800, which is $S16,259
less than the estimates asked for and
$34,S76 more than appropriated in the
legislative bill for the current fiscal
year.
Salaries specifically provided for in
this bill will number 14,441, or 1S6 less
than estimated for. Chairman Taw-
ney, of the committee, gave notice
that he would call the measure up
Friday, Immediately after the reading
of the journal.
