Conservation of Forests.

The conservation or preservation OF
forests has become matter of great
Importance in the United States, and is
rapidly becoming moreso.
1t is, at last, fully recognized that
our streams largely depend upon this
conservation. The prosperity, too, of
of our mountain towns largely depends
upon the forest; and by the rivers the
whole State is increased in value and
beauty; nor can there by anything more
inspiring than the mountain range,
whether distant or near, well covered
with. forest.
To conserve is to guard or keep. The
conservation of our forests, in the broad
use of that term, means a wise use, not
merely for a few individuals and the
present time; but true conservation
means the wise use of our forests for
the greatest good of the whole State
plished, not by cutting all the trees, a
thing every way most undesirable in
such a State as Vermont, but by cut
ting only the larger trees and leaving
the smaller to replace them.
The State is interested in all such
cutting and should recognize that, in
case the land is not to be cleared, the
spruce or hemlock should not be cut
smaller than about fourteen inches at
the stump, nor hard wood, such as
maple, birch and beech, less than about
a foot. This leaves quite fine growth
for new forest. 1t is in this way that
Vermont should guard her forests. Nor
is it desirable, even under such condi-
tons, for her to hasten the cutting.
And therefore it is not desirable for
Vermont to encourage such cutting by
giving any party permission to fit the
streams for log driving. The true con-
servation of forests would not do this.
1t would look after the interests of
Vermont, and not the profits of a cor
poration in New York, or any other
State. The interests of Vermont in
the future admit of no such course in
the conservation of our forests.
In this decision there is no one
wronged. The woodland referred to in
this bill An Act empowering the Cham
plain Realty company to remove OBJ
structions from Ottauquechee River]
was bought very low, mere nominal
sum, because of its location. A good
profit can be made from it by direct sale
of the whole, or a sale of the trees of
mature growth, leaving the rest to soon
recuperate and perform its functions
of conserving the water supply, and
preserving our forests for lumber and
the employment of labor, not for few
brief months, but for all time. We
refer now, not only to the forests of
Vermont that remain, but also would
include all land, especially that situated
upon our mountains, which has been
denuded, but cannot be so proftably
used, as again to be permitted to grow
up to forests.
The people throughout the State, we
feel sure, will welcome such policy with
hearty approval; and the Green Noun
tains of Vermont, from which the State
derived her name, will not become a
burnt-over and desolate waste, but for
all time will remain both a source of
infinite beauty and utility.

Treasure in Old Mattress.

An astonishing discovery was made
at Hyde, England. by some lads who
were given coupe of mattresses to
throw upon a bonfire which had been
made in honor of GUy Fawkes' day
AS the mattresses were being pre-
pared for the ordeal by fire taey
were noticed to be very old and
mouldy, and came to pieces while
being carried. Then, to the aston
ishment of the exuberant youngsters
a shower of yellow coins fell from
one OF the mattresses, and when 1t
was discovered they were good Eng
lish sovereigns there was wild strug.
gle for possession The coins num-
bered over hundred and the police
failed to trace the owner of the
strangely hidden treasure.

Saved by Dancing.

The battleship Dominion was eau
tiously feeling her way towards Que
bee on the night of August 16, 1906,
when the navigating officer, misled by
a bush fire on land, took the wrong
bearings, and suddenly struck on
hidden reef with such force that the
huge ship was shaken from stem to
stern.
Orders were at once given for the
whole crew, officers as well as men, to
assemble on dock with their kits In
their hands, and all the eight hundred
and fifty men were told to dance, SO
as to keep the ship "alive," and SO
prevent the Dominion's keel from set
tling down on the ledge.
At first the bluejackets whistled an
accompaniment to keep the men in
step till the captain ordered the ships
band to play lively selections.
The men danced with will, stamp
ing their feet and swaying their bod
les, and doing all they could to rock
the ship. In the end they succeeded,
for finally, with the engines work
ing full speed astern, the Dominion
slowly gave way and backed again In
to deep water. The dancing had
saved the ship!

ITO FIND THE BOOK"
CANADIAN INDIANS WOULD HEAR
THE WORD.
Struck the Long Trail to Go to the
Missionaries, Until Teachers
and Preachers Were Sent
from England.

About twenty miles north of Lake
Winnipeg is place called Norway
House. This was a shipping center
in the fur trade in the great days of
the Hudson's Bay Company.
Dog and canoe trains of Indians,
some of them from points 5000 miles
inland, came bringing their loads of
priceless furs, and from this point the
supplies brought from England to
York Factory on Hudson bay were
distributed to all the interior posts of
the company.
For 200 years this great trading
company had its agents scattered over
the remote wilderness to gather furs
for the markets of London. About
eighty years ago, says Everyland, the
agents of the company began to be
troubled; fewer furs were brought in,
the Indians seemed to be disappear
ing.
What's the trouble. Lone Wolff"
said the agent one morning to a tall
hunter who had thrown his bundle of
pelts down sullenly. Where is Man
Not-Afraid, and Three Feathers, and
Kicking Horse, and all the men who
used to come from the west many
moons?"
Ugh" grunted Lone Wolf. FAR far
south they with the papooses and
the women strike the long trail"
"Why?" persisted the agent. do
the buffalo fail them? Are the foxes
and otters gone? Why?"
Lone Wolf stood silent. At last,
raising his eyes, he said: "They go
to find the book?"
ITO find the book? Your words
are dark to mel"
Ugh" said Lone Wolf; white man
have Book about Great Spirit. White
man learn strong medicine. Book tells
good words. Far toward the south
wind Indians walk the Jesus Road.
We go find it too"
The agent listened, incredulous, but
when the same tale was repeated,
when whole village embarked in
their birch canoes and travelled 900
miles to find missionary; when
hunting grounds were deserted and
the very life of the trade threatened,
the agents pressed upon the home Of
flee the necessity of bringing mis-
sionaries to the Indians if they would
keep the Indians from going to the
missionaries.
And that is how it came about that
the Hudson's Bay Company wrote a
polite letter to the Wesleyan Mis-
sionary society in London asking it
to send out to Norway House the best
preachers and teachers it could find.
The company promised to furnish the
missionaries with houses and pro-
visions, canoes and guides, free of
charge, if the society would help them
southeast.

There has been a positive outbreak
of insurgency both in the House and
in the Senate during the past week.
BY decisive vote of 163 to III with
142 Republicans siding with the
Democrats, Speaker Cannon has been
over-ruled and for the third time re-
GENTLY have protesting Republicans
and Democrats administered a rebuke
to the Republican organization and
humiliated the Speaker by having
one of his decisions from the chair
over-ruled. This last is the most
positive setback that Speaker Cannon
has received, for the majority was
so great that there was no eXplana-
ton possible, as in the two previous
encounters in the House. The vic
tory for the allies as they are now
called, was the subject for comment
at the Capital and in hotel lobbies.

The children of the Hampden Cur
ney schools are now allowed free ac-
cess at all hours to play room and
rlay grounds and are mercifully kept
from spending their spare hours in
the streets. A delightful feature of
schoo. life to-day is the singing by the
children of the lovely old English
country songs, such as are sung by the
girls of the Esperance club They
learn the old English dances too, and
one is glad to see and hear the little

There is another foreign matter
which is giving considerable uneasi-
ness to the executive and legislative
branches of the government. 1t is
expected that on April the first,
Canadian goods will be assessed at
25 per cent and that soon afterwards
Canada will levy a 33 1-3 per cent
tax on United States goods. Ger
many and England are preparing to
take advantage of the situation. Ger
man and English drummers are pour
ing into the Dominion and the coun-
try is being flooded with catalogues
from the manufacturers of those
countries. Canada is rapidly finding
markets for her commodities, it is
said, and becoming more and more in
dependent of the United States. Our
policy in erecting tariff walls against
our northern neighbor is at the bot
tom of this trouble.

There has been considerable local
excitement in this city relative to an
effort of certain horse owners to an
nihilate the Washington Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
This society has been very active
during the last ten years and has ar
rested numerous contractors, express
companies and brewers who in their
mad competition for business, have
used infirm, old, lame or otherwise
unfit horses. During the last thirty
years more than 10000 arrests have
been made through the agency of the
society, and more than 50 per cent
have been convicted and fined. Those
who have been thus punished through
the agency Of the society have organ
lied what they call Horse Owners
Protective Association" and have pre-
scented bill of their own which they
call "a Bill for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals This bill prac-
tically abolishes the local society for
the Prevention of Cruelty, but it is
not thought that it will receive the
favorable consideration of Congress.

In diplomatic circles the question
of most interest at present is that re-
lating to an alleged proposal from
Japan through its embassy here, look
ing to an entente between this coun.
try and Japan in order that the two
countries may maintain kind of
joint suzerainty in the Far East,
guaranteeing the open door" and
commercial rights for all peoples and
favors for none. 1t seems quite un-
usual for so important a diplomatic
proposal to be heralded in the press
before it has been presented to the
state department 1t is said that the
Japanese Embassy will not lay this
matter before the state department
earlier than next week and that the
proposal from Japan will suggest a
convention of five years duration.
Inasmuch as the interoceanic canal
at Panama is expected to be finished
