Inicipality, judging by his inaugural mes
sagej and if the city increases its water
supply and saves its shade trees, as he
recommends, great good will have been
accomplished during his administration.
The two proposals are worth considering
seriously. That relating to shade trees
is very commonly overlooked, and tia
reference to it by Mayor Greene should
carry weight in other communities, We
suppose he refers to shade trees on the
residence streets of his city, for shade
trees on business thoroughfares are an
eneumbrance to traffic and should not
be allowed But in the residential sec
tions handsome shade trees furnish one
of the greatest assets community can
have. Instead of cutting them down in
discriminatory, we would better preserve
them against the day when we shall
wish for them most eagerly, only to be
compelled to wait great many years
for THE striplngs to gain satisfactory
growth. The folly of the present slaugh-
Ter win come home to us then. Why not,
therefore, stave it off by taking care Of
our trees now2 Toward that end, May
or Greene of st. Adams has made an
excellent start, and the people Of his city
ought to cooperate with him most cor
daily, as indeed should the people Of
every city cooperate with similar
movement in their community.

RAILROADS AS AGENTS FOR DE.
VELOPMENT.

NELOPMENI.
AS an illustration of how little the
American railroads are doing for devel-
oping the country hereabouts, one only
needs to point to the work of the Ca.
madam Pacific railroad in Canada last
year, when the company laid out and
started forty new towns. OF course, the
Canadian Pacific is doing this, not from
patriotic motives, but from a desire to
increase its own income; but the results
are there, nevertheless Here it is nee
essary to importune the railroads to con-
meet with huge industries, TO toady to
them and to eventually be squeezed by
them just about as they 1.-THE railroad
ofiicials see fit. In Canada the rail-
roads 60 on the idea that they owe some
thing to the country and to the people
whom they hope to serve; in this part
of the United States, the railroads jog
along under the impression that the
country and the people owe everything
to them and that it is condescension
to carry their shipments. That in part
explains why the farm sections OF Can
ada are going ahead by leaps and
bounds, while the agricultural regions
of New England are going backward in
population Moreover, the Canadian Pa
cifc railroad proposes to surpass its eff
forts of last year, and it is now laying
plans for the founding of fifty new
towns in the sections which will be
reached by its branches. Latterly, the
Boston & Maine railroad has shown some
signs of activity in the matter of COB
bling up railroads in rich natural
fields; but if the movement ends there,
the conditions will be more intolerable
than ever. We have yet to be shown
that the purpose of Mr., Mellen is not
merely to stide competition rather than
to aid in the development of the regions
which the qualifications of his great sys-
tenn are tapping. There is at present
great and disturbing contrast between
railroad activities in Canada and activi-
ties in the United States,

of $3.50, which was furnished by his
attorneys, Cook and Norton, of this

The story of Lindsay's Vermont ca
reer is not one which has never been
heard before but is one which never
loses its human interest. Faultlessly
attired, his head crowned with a stove
pipe" hat and diamonds cleaning from
here and there, he inspired confidence
in the little hamlet of Westburg into
which he made his way two weeks ago
Saturday night. He claimed to be the
seventh son Of a seventh son and to
be possessed with all Of the powers over
illness which tradition attributes to
such a remarkable person. No human

ills were from the stomach and most
stomach troubles were tumors or worms.
And so it is claimed Lindsay worked

had gathered in over $500 from the good
people in the neighborhood of Westburg,

But the call Of Fl Dorado is said to
have seized Lindsay again and this time
he came to this place, il being a larger
field than Westburg. But it did not
last long this time and be was placed
under arrest.
The people about Westburg iaye
practically gone crazy over Lindsay

Four Boats Sunk and Another One
Is Carried Away Down River
and Left on Sandbar-

Four launches were sunk and an
other was blown away from its moor
ing at the Island City Boat clubs
harbor on Twelfth street by the high
wind early this morning. The river
was about as rough as It has ever
been and the four launches were
simply turned over and filed with
water. They sank in seven feet of
water. 1t required hard work all
morning 10 get them afoat. The
launch which was carried away and
which is a very valuable one belong
ing to II. V. Burt, was located about
mile and a half down the river. It
was stranded on a sandbar and all
efforts made this morning to move
IL proved futile 1t is believed, how
ever, that II has not been damaged
to any great extent. The booms at
the harbor were blown in towards
shore and they pulled with them the
heavy weights which held them out
in the river.
