"Under the Organic law which we
enacted at Washington creating the
form of government under which you
act, we wisely provided for a legisla-
ture. There were some who thought
that we were going too fast and too

Gated the wisdom of our action. We
reserved to ourselves, Governor Frear,
the right to annul your acts. ABOVE

THE RESULT OF ELECTION

The result of the town election
which gave over the administration OF
town affairs to a democratic board OF
selectmen, was something of a sur
prise.
While II was apparent that First
Selectman Lathrop was likely to lose
some support, it was not generally ex-
pected that the discussions of the
campaign would result in his defeat.
1t shows how sensitive the American
voter is to anything which resembles
arbitrary rule, and that in public
officials suavity is much appreciated.
While the republicans sincerely re-
greet the loss of First Selectman La
throp, they recognize that Mr.. Lilli-
bridge Is a man who will give strict
attention to the towns business and
Is likely to make first class record.
The defeat Of the no-license party
by 445 majority was not wholly I'M
expected. The liquor interest is so
well entrenched here that it cannot be
easily oVerthrown. There is no rea-
son why the no-license forces should
be dispirited since 1t was claimed by
the license men that they would carry
the town by 1000. Norwich has been
1900 majority for license and there
is an admonition in this falling away
OF support, which should be needed.
The liquor dealers should be observant
Of the law and of public sentiment,
or the day will surely come when they
will meet their Waterloo.
The verdict Of the people is usually
right, and The Bulletin sees no occa-
sion for repining.

PRUSSIAN FORESTRY.

Prussia has national forests, cover
| ing nearly 100000 acres, which arc
made up as If the pineres of the
southern states of this country and thu
forests of some of the middle Atlantic
and central states were combined
When forestry was begun by Prussia
great part of the timberland had
been injured by mismanagement. much
as American forests have been, and
the Prussian foresters had to solve
thu problem of improving the run
down forests out Of the returns from
those which were still in good condi-
ton. They solved it with striking
success. Immense improvement has
already taken place and is steadily
going on.
The method of management adopted
calls for a sustained yield-that is. no
more wood is cut than the forest pro-
duces Under this management the
growth of the forest. and consequently
the amount cut, has risen sharply. In
1880 the yield was twenty cubic feet
per acre; in 1865, twenty-four cubic
feet; in 1890, fifty-two cubic feet and
1904 sixty-hv cubic feet. In other
words, Prussian forest management
has multiplied the rate of production
threefold in seventy-five years. And
the quality of the product has improv-
ed with the quantity. Between 1880
and 1904 the percentage of saw tim
Der rose from nineteen per cent. to
fifty -four per cent.
The financial returns in Prussia
make All even better showing. Net
returns per acre in 1850 were twenty
eight cents. In 1855 they were seven
ty-two cents; in 1900, $1.9S; and in
1904, $3.50. They are now nearly ten
times what they were sixty years ago.
and they are increasing more rapidly
than ever.
These results have been obtained in
Prussia along with almost local tech
nical success. When what is wanted
is a sustained yield from the forest
year by year in the long run, it is
clearly necessary to have always a
certain number of trees ready to be
cut; there must be proper proportion
of trees of all ages. This percentage
has been secured and maintained with
almost mathematical accuracy.

| ing surface of glacial ice, with only
| superficial crevasses. The water OBJ
tanned from this was not salty. but all
of the upper surface of the ice of the
| polar sea makes similar water. The

the positive assertion Of either land or

An Air Line Course.
This ice gave a cheering prospect;
plain purple and blue ran in easy
fluctuations to the limits of vision
without the usual barriers of uplifted
, blocks. Over ii direct air line
course was possible. Progress, how
ever was quite as difficult as over the
irregular pack. The snow was crusted
with large crystals. An increased
friction reduced the speed, while the
surface, too hard for snowshoes, was
also too weak to give a secure foot
ing. The loneliness. the monotony, thu
hardship of steady, unrelieved travel
were now keenly felt.
1t is not often that a mans horse
Il put to the test as ours was. We
were compelled to develop a working
energy to the limit of animal capaci-
ty. Day after day we had pushed
along at the same steady pace over
plains OF frost and through a mental
desert.
AS the eye opened at the end of an
icy slun1ber the fire was lighted little
by little. the stomach was filled with
liquids and solids, mostly cold
enough to last for the day, for there
could be no halt or waste OF fuel for
midday feeding. We next got into
harness and paced off the days pull
under the lash of duty; we worked
until standing became impossible
longer in light winds, shorter in strong
winds, but always until the feet be-
came numb and heavy.
Then came the arduous task of build
ing a snow house. In this the eyes,
no longer able To- wink, closed hut
soon the empty stomach complained,
and it was filed up again-not with
things that pleased the palate, only
hard fuel to feed the inner fires, while
the ear sought the soft side of ice to
dispel fatigue. No pleasure in mental
recreation, nothing to arouse the soul
from its icy Enclosure.
To eat. to sleep, to press one foot
ahead of the other. was our steady
vocation. Like the horse to the cart

anticipation of the outcome of ulti-
mate success. but for my young saw
age companions it was a torment al
most beyond endurance. Their weari-
ness was made evident by lax use O
the whip and an Indifferent urging of
the dogs. They were, however, brave
and faithful to the bitter end, seldom
allowing selfish ambitions or uncon-
trollable passions seriously to inter
fere with the main effort OF the ex-
petition.
On the morning OF April 10 a strain
of af,ftating t"rment reached a break
ing point. For days there had been a
steady cutting wind from the west,
which drove despair to its lowest
reaches. The west again blackened,
TO renew its soul despairing blast.
The sun was screened with ugly va
pors, and the path was as cherries
as the Arctic night.
No torment could be worse than
that never ceasing rush of lev air.
