James j. Hill was in Washington
east week, and after paying his com
pliments 10 the agitation and ora

the capitol over the tariff bill, de-
ciared that the "West and the South
sire to be the great sections of this
country in the future. The West is
now, for that matter, and the South is
coming forward with leaps and
POUNDS. The South exhausted her
soil before the war by her methods of
lmprovident agriculture, and is now
struggling to restore the soil. She is
succeeding too, and has a great
future". Senator Scott, of West VIr-
ginia, was 80 impressed with the
truth of Mr.. Hills remarks regarding
the superfuous speechmaking on the
subject of the tariff that he had them
read, as pub .ished ia one of the local
papers, in the Senate.

Alex ander v. Wilson, the Bar Harbor
aeronaut, suggests the possibility of the
use of the balloon in smuggling Mr..
Wilson says that even with the cheapest
kind OF balloon, the bag filed with hot
air such as is used by the parachute drop
pers at the country fairs, it would be pos
sible to bring goods of considerab bic weight
across the border. The Struggled balloon
list, in place Of silks and satins and costly
gems, could, if he so desired, bring in a
living cargo. He might, for example, carry
over the line party of several Cinnamon
1t is to be doubted whether these remarks
Of the Maine aeronaut cause any great
eommotion in government circles, but
what he says is not entirely fancifuI. just
now the airship is SO uncommon that
every flight attracts attention, bat who can
say what will be the conditions ten years
hence? Uncle Sam may yet have to es-
tablish sort of aerial revenue-cutter SER
vice.

The scientific reforesting of burnt land
is being undertaken on the Rrightside
estate at Mt. Desert, by George FsArnoId,
of Boston. Mr.. Arnold is summer resi-
nent of Mt. Desert, and last season lost
from fifteen to twenty acres of woodland
by forest tires. This land was cleared DUR
ing the winter, and has now been re-
planted. Three young men who are soon
to graduate from the forestry department
in the University of Maine have had the
matter in charge, under the direction of
Professor Tower, the head of the depart
ment. Five thousand young white pines
and 900 canoe birches have been set out,
and several bushels of acorns planted. Mr..
Arnold believes this to be wise invest
ment, and no doubt many owners of burnt
land will try the same experiment at Mt.
Desert. The new cooperative service OF
the university is ready to assist with
gratuitious advice any who wish to inn
prove forest conditions on their land.
