Our "FIood."

The Philadelphia Inquirer comment
ing upon the floods which have dam
aged certain portions of the river VAL
leys 'of Northern Maine says, that lis
have felled the trees denuded the for
ests and exposed the rivers to the
storms; that the greed which demands
the last tree and destroys the sapling
that stands in the way Of the market
able log, is to blame. Going further
the Inquirer says that, Maine is suf-
fering today from forest destruction
and that in their own state OF Pennsyl-
vania the forests have been slaught-
cred to an alarming extent. The
destruction that has been going on is
a crime. The country is beginning to
understand this, thus there is a grow
ing interest in conservation. And
what is conservation as applied to the
forests? Does it mean the abandon
ment altogether of ree-cutting?
Nothing of the kind. 1t means the
scientific treatment Of forests-th2
taking of mature trees, the care of the
smaller growth, the planting of sap
lings. In short, forests can be cult
waited just as are gardens and made to
We agree that cutting has been done
on wholesale plan in this State for
some years. But why should Maine
be held up as horrible example? We
venture to state that the damage done
by the excessive flow in the Aroostook
Piscataquis, Somerset and Washington
county rivers was the least this year
tina it has ever been for the amount of
rainfall in so short a period AS a
matter of fact, the damage was slight,
except in one or two cases, because we
now have storage dams and other mod
rivers for caring for an excessive flow
OF water. This is especially true on
the kennebec, Androscoggin and Pen
Obscot. The truth of the matter is that
Maine was in better state to withstand
the ravages of high water this year
than she has ever been before, and
that the damage from flood of equal
proportions will be less in the future
The denuding of forest lands in Maine
has been greatly reduced in the last
few years, so that really wasteful cut
ting is an occasional rather than a
common occurrence.

Autumn,

The skies are changing these autumn
days
To gray from the summer blue.
The song birds haste from the sylvan
ways
Just as they always do.
The rusticators. with pockets shrunk,
Have hied them back to the homeWard
bunk,
And the baggage jugglers have smashed
each trunk
Just as they always do.
The story is told from year to year;
There's nothing entirely new!
The fairest blossoms must disappear,
Just as they always do
The statesman grave and the hummer
gay
Arrange for the annual display;
And the people prepare to politely pay,
Just as they always do.

eastern Suckers"

The Spokane Spokesman Review re-
Gently received the following letter
Dated:
Eagle, Idaho, Sept. q.
A. F. Maggie has just returned from
his trip on horseback to Lake View.
Ore. a distance of $50 miles from
here. He went there to attend the
land opening of the Oregon Valley
Land Co., at that place. Mr.. Nagle
says they can call it a land opening il
they want to. He calls it a rock pile
opening. A lot of Eastern suckers are
in Lake View now scratching their
heads because they got bit.
J. G. NAGLE.
Comment seems hardly necessary
but lest some of our good Maine citi-
zens have been led astray by the glow
ing tales of what may be had in the
West for a song, it might be well to
note the last sentence in Mr.. Nagle's
letter. We quote it again. "A lot OF
Eastern suckers are in Lake View now
scratching their heads because they
got bit" Eastern home seekers who
become home sickers, and just plain
Eastern suckers, are looked upon as a
never failing source of revenue by
Western land promoters, and the
promoters are not altogether to blame
for taking this point of view in the
light of the success they have had in
the past. Mr.. Nagle's perfectly frank
letter doubtless was not intended for
Eastern readers, but as it gives a lit
tie light on an obscure subject, it pays
parting with your Maine farm and go
ing West.

1.-THE INEVITABLE"

like the man who faces what he must,
With step triumphant and heart OF cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without tear;
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfalterlng trust
That God is God-that somehow true and just
His plans work for mortals; not a tear
Is shed when fortune which the world holds dear
Falls from his grasp; better, with love, crust,
Than living in disfonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man but does his best
Nor ever murnurs at his humble lot,
But with smile and words of hope, give zes
To every toiler he alone is great,
Who by life heroic conquers fate.
Forget the past and live the present hour;
Now is the time to work, the time to fill
The soul with nobest thoughts the time to will
Heroic deeds, to whatever dover
Heaven has bestowed, to test utmost power,
Now is the time to love, and better still,
TO our loved ones passing ILL.,
To rise triumphant: thus the perfect flower
OF life shall fruage wealth
For grandest giving the time be gone,
Be glad today tomorrow may bring tears
Be brave today the darkest night will pass,
And golden rays will usher in the dawn;
Who conquers shall rule the coming years.

Some time ago n mile of country road
south of the city was oiled under the d.
rection of the Sedan Commercial Club.
Fifty dollars was paid for this and 1t was
all raised by public subscription. The oil
had to be hauled so far that the cost of
hauling was almost equal to the price of
the oil. Nevertheless, the total cost of
dragging the road and of soaking it in oil
was only $50. The road was oiled in May
and is yet in almost as good condition as
it was when finished. 1t is well rounded
up with gooa drainage and the oil has
made it solid, something like asphalt
pavement The road. is the talk of the
farmers. They will go mile or two out
of their way to use it in driving to Sedan.
