In one year $500, 900 telephone
poles were cut in this country and
government experts say that for
every one cut there should be thir-
teen left growing, as it takes over a
hundred years to grow cedar large
enough for the purpose. As pole
will decay in fifteen years, it pays to
give them preservative treatment
Railroad ties last but eight years.
Certainly that shows the necessity
of preserving and encouraging our
cedar forests in Maine.

A very important and reaching
decision has just been made by the
fall bench of Maine. During the
closing days of the last session the
Legislature addressed the supreme
bench relative to the right of the
legislature to restrict the cutting of
trees in wild lands in the interests of
forestry, the preservation of water
power and rain fall and the general
utilities of public interest in these
domains. The majority of the Court
decides that the Maine Legislature
has the power to control the cut of
timber on the wild lands of the State,
and it would not operate as taking
of private property for which com
pensation must be paid.
The small snow fall the past winter
has saved the town of Skowhegan
some thousands of dollars in snow
road work, but has been a draw
back in some degree in the matter of
culyerts which have been closed by
ice to much greater extent than in
previous winters. When the brooks
have been five feet or more under the
snow, as in previous years, they have
been protected from freezing, but
during the past winter they have
been without this protection and
have gathered layer on layer of ice
in the side bitches and culverts,
leaving the melting snow to over
flow the highways at the present
time. Road Commissioner Geo. II.
Webb passed several days early this
week in trying to remedy matters,
but the problem was a new one in
many respects and the work pro-
crossed slowly. Just what course to
pursue with three foot culvert, full
of ice, with ice also filing and cover
ing the stone work of which the
culvert is built, to the level of the
roadway, must be perplexing
question, even to Mr.. Webb with his
many years of experience in road
highway matters.

Tuesday afternoon arguments were
made before the Judge in the first
move of County Attorney Thomas j.
Young of Scion to contest the consti-
tutionaIity OF the Sturgis liquor law
enforcement act passed by the Legis
lature of 1905. The arguments we're
on a petition of quo warranto on
Amos X. Butler Esq, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Cobb as special
attorney for this county to prosecute
all violations of the liquor law in
place of the county attorney, to show
by what authority he claims TO hold
the office.
Arthur S. Littleield of RockIand
appeared for Attorney Butler, while
Judge Augustine Simmons of North
Arson represented County Attorney
Young.
BY agreement of counsel the case
was referred to the full bench of the
supreme court for final determine
ton, Judge Spear issuing an order TO
that effect.
The first jury trial of the term was
entered upon, Yesterday forenoon,
Padam vs. Meader ct al. The parties
to the suit are residents of Norridge
wock The case was an action
to recover for logs TO be delivered at
a mill operated for the defendants in
that town. The contract, for the en-
torcement of which this action is
brought, was made for the winter Of
1861
There was also cross action be
tween the same parties to recover
damages for breech OF contract IL the
delivery OF the logs, the two cases be-
ing tried together. The trial occu-
pied the entire day and will consume
a larger part of the present forenoon.
Cover x Hight appear for Padham,
and Folsom x Simmons for Meader ct
al
The next case to be called is that
of Jos. Symons of NJ adison vs. the
Maine Telephone & Telegraph Co.
Bernard Gibbs for plaintiff, Butler &
Butler for the defendant company.
This is a suit for damages which the
plaintiff claims to have sustained. on
being thrown from his team, his
horse, as it is claimed, having taken
fright at a reel of telephone wire by
the roadside in the town of Madison
in use by the employees OF the de
PENDANT Company.
The grand jury convened on Tues
day, but as County Attorney Young
had no matters to bring before them,
owing i'll part, to the uncertainty re
garding his position a. 10 liquor pros
ecutions, they adjourned until yester-
day morning. Al that time they as
sembled in executive session with act
ing County Attorney Butler, who
represents the state in liquor cases.
1t is believed they viii complete their
business and adjourn today.
