Serious Drawback to Rapid Growth

Ties also have been a speciality, and
cordwood in great quantities has been
cut, the Plume & Atwood Manufac-
turing company furnishing a continu-
GUS business during this period. The
lumber and ties have been shipped to
market. but hauling wood is still brisk.
The condition of the forest is such
that it will require many years of

drawback to rapid growth Of the bet
ter timber. 1t is noticeable that in
the Naugatuck valley as soon as a
piece of timber has been cut off the
white birch springs up in great num-
bers, growing rapidly, making a forest
of it's own kind. which chokes the

VIII Not Say Much About Martyred
President

DR.. George L. Porter of Bridgeport
is one of the few men living today who
were personally acquainted with Pres
ident Lincoln. Although the martyred
president has been dead for a years,
recollections are as vivid in the~mind
OF DR.. Porter as though the events oc-
Cured but a year ago. DR.. Porter has
always maintained a strict reticence
regarding his relations with President
Lincoln and a stricter one in regard
to the dispositions of the body of John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of the
president. He was the only commits
stoned officer present at the execution
and exa mined the body after death.
THE body of Booth" said DIR. Porter
now reposes unmarked in a Balti-
more cemetery" After the hanging it
was delivered to the family of the
murderer the strictest promise that
there should be no funeral services, and
no monument, stone or mound ever be
raised to show where the remains lay.
The promise was made and strictly
kept.
Among his possessions is piece of
the blood-stained dress worn by Miss
Laura Keene, who was seated in the
box with Lincoln, the night of the
shooting, and who held his head in her
lap as he bled profusely from the
wound. The piece of silk shows two
we'll defined stains of the presidents
blood. Accompanying this memento.is
a letter written by Miss Keene certi-
flying to its authenticity
Another souvenir is letter written
by President Lincoln to Lieut.-General
Grant. assuming full responsibility for
enlisting the confederate soldiers in
the United States army, thus relfevin g
Secretary of War Stanton from the
responsibility and blame which had
been placed upon him by General
Grant and other army officers. This
letter was secured from a friend of
General Grant to whom it was pre-
scented by the general after the war IT

permit it to be copied.
