Captain Thomas, who is an old time
woodsman, stumbled upon the mouth
of the cave. which is on Nv" noun

time ago. but kept the matter quiet
until he should have chance to inves-
tigate.

rather larger than the usual run of
caves in the Adirondacks, be said the
other day, but l never dreamed of its
being as large as it really is. The
mouth is about fifty feet wide. The

CUTSDOWNFOREST
Reserve Will be Reduced One.

Open for Entry.
UNDO WORK OF ROOSEVELT
Taft Acts Against Advice of Clifford
Pinchot, But In Response to
Demand i'm West.

Washington, April 16.- President
Taft will, in the course of a few
months, issue a proclamation and an
executive order which will result in
the elimination of practically one-third
of the forest reserve area of the Uni
ted Staes and return many millions of
acres of valuable lands to entry and
settlement.
By direction of the president the
secretary of agriculture has given or
ders for surveys in forest reserves
which will enable him to take there
from every strip of untimbered land
and all lands fit for agricultural pur-
poses. These will be thrown into the
public domain and become the prop
erty of citizens of the United States
who care to enter them under the pub
lie land laws.
Pinchot to Undertake Surveys.
Forester Clifford Pinchot has been
directed to undertake surveys in the
state of Idaho at once, using members
of his forestry force as largely as pos
sible in running lines which will es-
tablish the exact locations of the I'M
timbered spots in the reserves.
The state of Idaho will have close
to a million acres of land returned to
entry when the surveys are made, and
the presidents proclamation finally
goes into effect. Colorado, Utah, Wyo.
ming. New Mexico California, and all
the great coast states in which Mr.
Pinchot has been maintaining his for
est domains comprising 196,000,000
acres, will be given attention at an
early date.
Practically Victory for Hepburn.
The order of the secretary of agri-
culture is looked upon as practically a
victory for Senator Hepburn of Idaho,
who ever since his advent to the SEN
ate has been carrying on constant
warfare against the wholesale placing
of lands in forest reserves in the west
During consideration of the agricultur-
al appropriation bill in the senate in
the session of the congress recently
closed he offered an amendment which
would confine the reserves to tree
ldHuS diOhS anu lnehc IL lnlpoSSlple
for the bureau of forestry to place re-
strictions upon the use of bare spots
here and there and to keep them apart
from entry under the homestead and
other land laws.
With the retirement of President
Roosevelt more liberal policy TOWARD
westerners was apparently put in
force, for in the order of the secre
tary of agriculture Senator Heyburr
has secured practically what his de
feated amendment to the agriculture
bill called for.

Miles ti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royceheld, N. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

INTEREST IN COMPANY.
At New Haven Gas EmpIoya7 Own
 $16,34o of Company's Stock.

Under the profit sharing plan put in effect by the New Haven Gas company April l, 1907, by which all employes except the executive officers. are cred tied with an eight per cent. dividend on their salaries payable in stock of the company, 3S0 snares have been transferred to the employees. These shares, taking $43 a share as the pres ent market value, are worth the sub stantial total of SlG.340. This net sum IS 10 be turned over by the company tu it's workmen, from office boys upward. and that the plan is heartily favored by them goes without saying On the distribution for the quarter ended Jan. l, as announced yesterday 7j shares were transferred to employees.
 According to this plan eight ner cent. is credited to the wages of every en- ploye who has been in the service for one year. which is the same rate at which dividends are now paid annually to the stockholders. If the amount credited to any empioye is equal to the market value of one or more shares Of the stock then a certificate represent ing the share or shares is transferred to the employe. The stock becomes h:s property absolutely. to keep CT sell as he may elect, and the balance credited to the employe is carried forward into the next quarter.
 Very little of the stock turned over tO the employees has been sold and the added interest which the Worknen take in the welfare of the company has made the plan very successful from the viewpoint of the company's off, cials.

PROBATE RULES.
Modern Method and System to Be En- forced in Waterbury Court by Judge Byrne.

Every lawyer in Waterbury has re- ceived a communication from Judge Michael J. Byrne of the probate court calling attention to rules to be enforced at the probate court. The communi- cation was as follows:
 Dear Sir-To make possible more orderly method of conducting business in this court than can be had under the present mode of procedure, and in the hope that it may prove mutually satisfactory to the court and to those who have occasion to appear therein, I have decided. for the present at least. that the following rules shall be ob- served i@the probate court:
 1. Tie court will be open each week day, except Saturday, from 9 a. m. un- til D. n., and on Saturdays from 9 a. m. until 1 D. m.
 2. Applications will be received from a. m. until 1 p. m. each week day.
 3. Hearings will be held after i p. m. each week day, except Saturday.
 f. Matters set down for a certain day and hour will have the right of way at that time, and will be taken up promptly.
 5. In other respects rules will con form as nearly as possible to rules of the superior court.
 While the foregoing rules are not in- tended to be absolutely infexible they will be strictly adhered to unless in cases where to enforce them would cause hardship.
 The court is confident of the desire of the bar to CO., operate with it in it's purpose to establish some sort of or derly procedure. and will appreciate such effort as may be made~to give these rules a fair trial.
