Reilly Knocked Out Weber, Rounds.
Boquet Defeated Mack, 8 Rounds.

Twenty-six minutes of actual boxing
we're long enough to settle two reputa-
tions last night. Charlie Reilly found
Weber's solar plexus in the fourth and
put the little San Franciscan out, and
Young Boquet was awarded the deci-
sion over Charlie Mack after eight
minute rounds of vigorous pun
melting.
There was no doubt about it from
the very first blow that was struck.
Reilly jabbed with his left as soon as
they had shaken hands and found
weber's mouth, which Immediately
began to bleed From that time to the
finish Weber never had so much as a
look in. He landed not one single eff
fective blow, and all his rushes were
blocked or lodged so neatly and easily
that the crowd reared with laughter.
Reilly has improved greatly since
his first appearance here, both in
cleverness and hitting power. His
rights to the body went in with tre-
mendous force, and the other lad was
game to stand them as long as he did.
1t was in the first minute of the
fourth round that Reilly let drive a
right full into Weber's solar plexus.
Weber dropped, but staggered to his
feet at the count of nine and wobbled
uneasily round the ring in dazed way
as though hardly knowing where his
opponent was. Reilly made up his
mind to end the slaughter and passed
over another right that was an eff
iii ectual coup de grace. Weber fell
-r,,uirming on the floor and had to be
,rried to his corner, where he lay in
cie6s chair for some minutes before he

The Board OF Trade.

The Board OF Trade meeting on
Tuesday evening was an interest.
ing one, several matters Of interest
being taken up. A communication
from the Commission on Country
Life, lately appointed by President
Roosevelt for looking into condi-
tons in country life with a view to
improving them, was read before
the Board and the list of questions
propounded to the Board by the
Commission was referred to the
Advertising Commission for reply.
This list of questions is being sent
out broadcast to all sorts of organ
izations and to individuals in all
parts of the United States, and
when the returns are in the hands
of the Commission, the replies
should enable this body to obtain
very large amount OF the most
valuable information upon which
TO base a report to the President.
Probably the most interesting ques-
ton propounded was the one ask
ing an opinion as to the most
important thing needed to make
country life more profitable and
enjoyable.
Another matter which has come
to hand is list of all the chiei
bulletins of the Government on a
very large range Of subjects, ar
ranged under separate headings
and giving price of each. Price.

EVERY RHEUMATIC
INVITED TODAY
To Test and Try a 75c. Bottle Of Uric-0
At Our Expense.

If there are still any sufferers fro" Rheuma-
tism in this county or wherever this paper
reaches that have not yet tried the wonderful
Rheumatic Remedy, Uric-O, we want them 20 try
it now at our expense. We firmly believe that
there is not a case of Rheumatism in the world
that will not yield to the wonderful effects OF
Uric o, and we want to prove it to every doubter
beyond all possibility. The best way to do this
is to give large trial bottle of this remedy out
right to every sufferer and let him test and try it
to his own satisfaction. If you or any of your
family suffer from Rheumatism no matter what
form, just cut this notice out of the paper and
send it together with your name and address,
also the name of your druggist, to the Smith Drug
Co., 2 80 Smith Bldg, Syracuse, N. Y, and they
will send you by return mail an order on your
druggist for 75c. bottle free, You take the REM
edy home and use it according to directions until
| thoroughly satisfied of its merit.
We could not afford to do this If we did not
know that after you are freed from this dreaded
disease that you will recommend 1t to all your
friends who have rheumatism. We know from
| experience that personal recommendation from
one person to another is the most valuable adyer
Using, and that is the way we intend to acquaint
the world with Uric o. Send for Uric-O no mat
ter where you live. 1t is sold by druggists all
over this country, and we want you to have d
bottle free.

MT. DESERT CORRESPONDENCE.

MANsET, Jan. ~, 1908. A telephone
message was received here today by
Mr.. Vern King, 1st assistant keeper of
Saddleback Light Station, who was on
shore leave here, that Mr.. Marnal
Newman, I'd assistant of the above
light, is missing and is probably drown
ed. He left Vinalhaven harbor yester-
day noon for the light in small light
house boat and nothing more was
heard until his boat was found washed
ashore on Roberts Head near Vinal-
haven, Mr.. Newman was young
man and resided at Sea Wall, Maine,
and had been in the lighthouse service
several years. The keeper is the only
man on the station and is without any
boat, as the spare one was smashed
during the heavy sea of last week. Mr..
King will leave for the light on tomor-
rows boat via Vinalhaven.
The remains of Beatrice Mitchell, a
young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Mitchell, formerly of Bass Harbor, but
residing of late at Rockland, Me-, ar
rived here yesterday for interment.
She was their only child and was about
ten wears of age. She had been enjoy
ing good health until recently, when
she was stricken with appendicitis.
An operation was performed and she
lived but a short time after it. This IS
a very pathetic case, as the mother Is
at the point Of death and the father
was unable to leave her bedside, SO that
neither could accompany the body here
or attend the funeral.

This was a very fair passage in those

recently that he sailed from New York
in 1890 in command of the ship Henry
B. Hyde, bound to San Francisco, and
crossed the equator in the Atlantic in
20 days, thence to Cape Horn in 10
days, making the passage from New
York to Cape Horn in 80 days, which
rather takes the starch out of the
Erskine NJ. Phelps run of 81 days from
an Atlantic port to Cape Horn. The
Hyde's run from Cape Horn to San
Francisco was made in IS days, making
the passage from New York to San
Francisco in 1O7 days. 1t is very evil

THE DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS.
They are Being cut Three Times as Fast al
They Grow.

They are Being cut three Times as Fast as
They Grow.
The increase in consumption of tim
Der since 1880 has been more rapid than
the increase of the population, and
greater than in any similar period in
the history of the country. This shows
in striking manner how much the
nation depends upon forest products,
and indicates how greatly all interests
must suffer as lumber becomes scarcer
and dearer
Statistics gathered by the Bureau of
the Census and the Forest Service
show that the quantities Of timber
used last year for lumber, shingles, ties,
pulpwood, cooperage stock, mine tim
hers lath, distiIlation, veneer. poles,
tanning, and turpentine and rosin, ex-
pressed in board feet, reach a total of
approximately so billion board feet.
While these drains upon the forest
are known with reasonable certainty,
there are Others OF which there is no
record. These are the demand for
posts, fuel and domestic purposes, re-
garding which it is more difficult to OBJ
tain information, because the products
often pass through no market, but are
consumed on the farm where they
were produced. Careful estimates,
however, place the total of wood used
for fuel alone at an equivalent of so
billion board feet year.
1t will be seen, then, that the present
consumption of wood in all forms is
above 100 billion board feet annually.
Estimating the forest area of the
United States at from 500 to 700 mil
lion acres, and the annual growth at 60
board feet per acre. the yearly increase
is from 80 to AZ billion feet. At this
rate, the annual growth barely equals
the amount consumed for lumber
alone. Considering all the drains, the
annual consumption of wood is proba-
bly, three times the annual growth.
Detailed estimates of standing timber
range from 1,400 to 1000 billion feet.
Using the larger figure, and considering
the annual growth of 40 billion feet, it
appears that there is not more than
thirty-three years. supply of timber in
this country at the present rate OF con-
sumption.
AT present only about % PER cent of
our total forest area is in State or
national forests, the remalnder being
unreserved public lands or in private
hands. The forest area is amply sui
icient, if rightly managed, to produce
eventually enough timber to supply all
our needs. Yet private owners, as
we'll as the State and National govern
ments, must use their forest lands in
right way if we are to maintain our
timber supply.
Circular 129, just issued by the For
est Service, contains a discussion OF
the drains upon the forests and the
sources and the duration of the timber
supply. This publication will be sent
free upon application to the Forester,

industrial education, and not the higher
education, was the more needed in
Maine schools. He based his conten-

public schools of the State get to the
| High school and less than per cent go
to college. Supt. Smith argued that
the time spent by the 50 per cent on
dead languages, higher mathematics
and certain of the sciences was to a
large extent wasted or could be used to
vastly greater advantage in the indus

the present manual training now in

SEARSPORT SHIPPERS AHEAD.
The Phelps Is Not "The Fastest Sailing
Ship In The World"

The Bath-built ship Erskine NJ.
Phelps, now in San Francisco, receiv-
ing general repairs, holds the record as
being the fastest sailing ship in the
world. She put into San Francisco
leaking last week owing to injury re
ceived by being run into while in Seat
tie by the steamer Yucatan. The
Phelps has made remarkable record
since she left the cradle of her birth at
the yard of her builders and owners,
A. Sewall Co., in Bath, in 1898. She is
the only American ship atioat built OF
steel in the United States.
Aside from her wonderful lines the
vessels records are marvellous. On
whatever course the Phelps has piled
she holds records for speed, hourly,
daily and weekly.
Perhaps the Phelps proudest record,
and one which has never been equalled,
was made when she sailed from Nor
folk to Honolulu, a distance of $4,000
miles, in 81 days. Weather conditions
considered, this record of 155 miles a
day probably will stand for years.
The Phelps established and now
holds a record from Chill to Philadel-
phia, distance of ten thousand miles.
having traversed that stretch of deep
in 95 days.
On a run from New York to Java
Head the Phelps averaged 1862 IL miles
day for 50 days. The vessel has
crossed the Indian ocean, a distance OF
$500 miles in 26 days.
The best hours run of the Phelps
was fourteen miles, the best days run
800 miles and the best weeks run OF
six days 1875 miles.
Following are the records of the
Phelps which entitle her to claim su-
periority over all other sailing vessels
