Log Drive of $4,000. 900 Feet.

The annual drive of logs from the wild
Ammonoosuc river in New Hampshire,
which has been cut the last season by the
International Paper company, has been
doomed at the mouth of that river dur
ing the last two weeks, until all of the
ten million feet have reached there.
Within a few days it has been let out
into the Connecticut, and will begin ar
irving at Bellows Falls short time ahead
of the larger drive of the Connecticut Riv-
er Lumber company.
The annual drive of the latter this year
amounts to thirty-six million feet and has
been cut as follows: Four and one-half
millions on Perry's stream in the town.
ship of Pittsburg, N. H., the northern
most town of the state; two million on
what is known as the Colebrook Acad-
envy Grant in Colebrook, N. H.; twenty
million on Paul's stream and it's tributa.
ries in the towns of CRANKY and Ferdi-
nand, and about eight and one-half mil
lion feet from along the east branch of
the Nulhegan river in the town Of Bloom
field. These different lots are being as
sembled in the Connecticut near North
Stratford, N. H., and with few million
feet bought by Mr.. Van Dyke at various
points south of there, will be brought
down the river to their Holyoke mills in
the next two months.
The average amount of lumber in the
annual drives the last ten years has been
about forty Millions but last year it was
little less than thirty millions.

tuberculosis.
Editor Reformer:-

Ed1tOr RefOfmef:-
During the recent tuberculosis exhibit in
this village, the subject assigned to me on
which to speak and the time allotted, did
not permit of my presenting what would
be most desirable and effective measure
in controlling the spread of tuberculosis
and relieving the suffering of all kinds that
attend it's victims and their families.
| believe that committee should be ap-
pointed by some of our local organizations
like the Associated Charities, the Woman's
club, the board of trade, or some kindred
society, whose duties should consist of
earnest, systematic work in an effort to
discover the incipient cases and induce
them to consult their family physician, to
encourage them to faithfully follow the
advice of such physician, to distribute cir
culars of information, and, in cases where
physician was not employed, report all
suspected cases to the local health officer,
to the end that early recognition of the
true nature of the disease might be recog-
nized and suitable means to be taken to
prevent it's extension.
The old question, Am I my brothers
keeper? and the answer, Bear We one an
others burdens. Henry D. Holton.

college have complied with the conditions,

pleasure to do this. 1t is for Vermont

Pa Monday to life imprisonment in the
western penitentiary at Pittsburg for kid
mapping BILLY" Whitla. Mrs. Boyle re-
ceived sentence of 25 years and a fine of
$4,000 and costs of prosecution. Counsel
made plea for both Boyle and his wife,
pleading leniency both in view of the fact
that the boy had been treated with every
and all care had been taken
not to infict unnecessary mental anguish
upon the parents. Both Boyle and his
wife collapsed completely on hearing the
sentence pronounced.
