when an automobile in which he was

road, Schlppers swung his car out sharp
ly. In so doing he ran into a steel cleo
trio pole. The blow was so powerful
that the pole was snapped in two, hurl-

champion of Connecticut, was brought
to Grace Hospital this afternoon suffer-
ing from fractured skull and concus-
sion of the brain.
Dr. Shepard was a member of the Con-
necticut golf team which played the
Massachusetts, team at Wollaston YES
terday. He was returning from there
this noon with Messrs. Curtis and Brown.
of the Connecticut team, in an eutomo-
bile, when they were struck by another
automobile near Westerly, r. 1.
The force of the collision threw out
DR.. Shepard, and he was picked up I'M
concious. He was placed aboard an ex-
press train and brought here. 1t was
said at the hospital tonight that his con-
dition was comfortable, and some slight

tanning the party was coming from pro-
violence, on the way to New Haven, the

just the angle to upset it.

ground and their machine totally wreck

Our Forest Wsste,

Europe uses 60 feet of lumber per
capita in year. The United States uses
500 Our population increased in twenty
years about so per cent. The lumber cut
increased "a per cent. A forestry ex-
pert figures that our present consump-
ton of wood in all forms is equivalent to
at least 100, 600, 200, 600 board feet annual
ly, and possibly much more. Another
authority estimates an annual cut
of $50, 900, 900, 900 board feet. These fig
ures exclude destruction by forest fires,
which, in the month of September, 1908,
wiped out timber valued at about $780,
10000
On the other hand Europe makes for
estry pay. Here we are Just beginning
to find out what forestry is. 1t appears
that the State of Wurtemberg, Germany,
spends 81 o. an acre annually on its for
ests, and secures an annual net revenue
of $500 an acre. France spends 95 cents
and gets 81 70 an acre. The United
States spends .0093 and gets back ,00s6
cents an acre.
With us, the area of the white pine
has shrunken to comparatively small
dimensions and other much wanted
woods are in constantly diminishing
''There is no such thing as an mex.
haustible forest says the Boston Post,
from WHICH we condense our statistics,
at is just beginning to be generally
realized that fires, insects and rapacious
lumbermen are destroying our forest re-
sources more rapidly than they can be
replaced. How much more rapidly few
understand. Most persons would laugh
at the suggestion that if we increase our
annual cut at rate figured upon in
crease of the last 90 years, most of our
timber will be gone befort the expira-
ton of another twenty years. Expert
foresters, however, believe this to be
fact. New England, which has suffered
as much as any section, desired protec-
ton through the Appslachion forest re-

ed by Speaker Cannon, while New Eng
land representatives made mincing
motions of protest is. well known. Is it

three autos north of Mr.. Blackmer's on
Chapman hill. The horse has been per-

other and thus occupied practically the
whole of the travelled track. When the
horse saw them change position and
rapidly approach occupying the whole of
the road, he stopped and began to back.
The buggy was backed off the road,
down the bank and one of the wheels
went into a hole. The young ladies
thought their buggy was going to over
