SCHOOL BUILDING
WAS INSPECTED
State Inspector Rose Said he
Had no Criticism. Stu
dents Well Protected.
HOW ABOUT OTHER BUILDINGS
Lodge Rooms, Railways and OPP
era House Need Better Pro-
lection From Fire.

Since the terrible holocaust at Col
ling W ood in which several hundred inno-
cent children met horrible death,
many comments have been heard as to
what would be the probable result
should our own school building take
fire during school hours. Last week
John w. Rose of Kalamazoo, state in
spector of public buildings, visited the
school building and thoroughly exam
ined the heating plants, the stalrways,
fire escapes and exits and made the fol-
lowing report: Il have no criticisms or
suggestions to make. You are much
better protected against the dangers OF
fire and panic than are most schools
The above report together with the
fact that regular fire drills are held and
that the entire building has been cleared
of students in "a minutes, should serve
to alay any feeling of insecurity IN re-
gard to the safety of pupils at the school
building.
The True Northerner believes that
there are other public places in the vii
lage that need attention. Every lodge
room and hall where public gatherings
are held should be protected by fire es
capes and doors that swing outward
The opera house should have two ol
more exits and fire escape for the pro
lection of the gallery. No pains shoulc
be spared to prevent such dreadful Ca
lamities as have befallen other towns
aud cities in the past year

BANGOR ADVANCE IS "CHESTY"
Thinks Bangor High School Base
Ball Team Sure Winner
This Year.

The Bangor Advance in its last issue
revie we'd the prospects of the Bangor
high school base ball team for the COM
ing year. 1t states that "the sporty
fellows can wager 80 cents on Bangor
this year with reasonable assurance
of winning"
Isn't it rather early in the season,
brother, to get so "cbesty"? If the record
OF games for the past two or three years
can be- taken as criterion for the CON-
ing base ball season, there will undoubt-
edly be other high school teams in the
race. Better hold onto that 80 cents.
II you hold the bet open some one is suie
to take it, and the money might charge
hands.

wooDmAr, SPARE THAT TREE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. : Wood
man, spare that tree!" This warning
bearing the great seal and signature
of Uncle Sam and having behind it
the menace Of the Big Stick, was pro-
mulgated to-day by Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot. AS a result, nearly
300 acres of giant redwood forest on
the southern slope of Mount Tamal-
pals. near San Francisco, will be de-
clared a national monument, and the
man with the axe will be made to keep
his distance by the guardians appoint
ed by the government.
The forest, one OF the few tracts
of giant redwOods now to be found in
natural state in California, was do
mated TO the government b. William
Kent. of Chicago. The Windy City
philanthropist paid $4,000 for the
tract some years ago. but the redwood
timber alone is now valued at over
S125.OO so that the gift is a liberal
one. The new national monument"
will be known in the future as Muir
Woods. in honor of John Muir. the
distinguished naturalist. The giant
trees will now be given permanent
protection. under virtue of the law
which provides that objects of scien-
tific interest may be declared national
monuments. The government grove
will be pleasure ground for the peo-
pie OF San Francisco, Oakland and
other cities In the vicinity, as well as
an object of scientific interest to yisi-
tors from all parts of the world.
The chief reason for the permanent
protection of the land by the govern
ment is that there is no other red
wood grove in the world more ac-
cessible to so many people. The
canon is in absolutely primeval con-
dition, not so much as separated by
the hands OF man. 1t lies within an
hours ride OF San Francisco. at the
very doors OF hundreds Of thousands
of people.
So long as the land remains In pri-
vate ownership. there is always dan.
ger that the trees will be attacked
and Mr.. Kent feared this, but as a
national monument. they will be safe.
There are, Of course. many finer
stands of redwood in California, but
no typical groves are owned by the
United States, nor are there any which
might be acquired by the government,
except at great expense.
Originally this land was part Of
the old Spanish grant, Rancho sau-
salito." The largest redwoods are
eighteen feet in diameter at the butt,
and will approach three hundred in
height, rising with perfectly straight
and clean stems. AS none of the big
trees have been cut, their age is, Of
course, somewhat problematical, but
It is safe to say that the veterans have
stood from one thousand to fifteen
hundred years.
The total stand OF redwood. roughly

]. R. Green, editor of the Kirwin
Argus. Is favorably spoken of for the

a Democrat, and as that party now and
then gets an office in the county, 1t
gives the Democrats q ray Of hope that
they can nominate and elect Mr.. Green.
Bob Hendricks, of Nebraska, who held
down a chair in the special session of
the legislature from Rawlins county,
his former home, says he Is going to
return to Atwood in the near future,
and will give Congressman Reeder a
lively chase for the office if the Demo-
Gratis of the Sixth district will nominate
him. Hendricks claims that he never
had any intention of quitting Rawlins
county for keeps.
The army of friends Of Geo. W. Hol-
land, of Russell, will regret his with
drawal from the congressional race in
the Sixth district. With the present
state primary law he sees no show of
beating Congressman Reeder with a
half dozen or more candidates in the
field. Mr.. Holland says: 81 am salts
fed that could make as good show
ing as any other announced candidate
that stands on an equal footing with
myself but I am unwilling to enter a
