Sitka, Alaska.-What are known as
totems. or totem poles, are quite COM
mon in Alaska territory. Some Of
these totems are shown in an accom-
panying illustration.
AS a usual thing these totem poles
are Of Alaska cedar, which is very
abundant In the territory. This wood,
though of a rather soft and yielding
fiber, is fine grained and well adapted
to carving. All the totems are made
by Alaskan Indians; the carving is
done with rather rude, coarse imple-
ments, and consequently is Of a crude.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-"Shame, shame on the
citizens of Montclair who turned out
of their comfortable and luxurious
homes to do u~nwarrantable injury to
Gods little tenants, who only ask a
tree for their abiding place, a crumb
of comfort on a stormy day, and a
soul, which may God grant us soon,
that loves their simplest lay"
In these words Mrs. Alice rAnson,
of No. 80 Vernon avenue, Newark,
voices her protest against the slaught-
er of birds by the Montclair Shade
Tree Commission because their noise
became obnoxious to the residents OF
the Crescent, a fashionable thorough
fare of Montclair.
"What is there, indeed" continued
Mrs. FAnson, "in the harmless twit-
tering of birds, always hushed at sun
down, to awaken resentment in the
heart of man? Is his soul growth so
choked with the weeds of money
grubbing, selfish living and callaused
emotions that he cannot listen to the
calling of a bird? AS for noise, are
there not many noises of mans max
ing more grating, more i~ncongruous
in the ear of natures lovers than the
chirping of innumerable birds?"
Acting for the State Game and Fish
Commission, Warden Frederick Hall
went to Montclair and made an inves-
tigation of the slaughter by Peter
Stevens, who acted on orders from
the Montclair Shade Tree Commits
sion. Mayor Ernest G. Hinck was
seen by Hall, but the chief executive
of the town denied sanctioning the
shooting of the birds. The people of
the town are divided on the matter,
which has occasioned much comment
because of the apparent brutality
shown. At any rate, it is believed
no more shooting will be done.

Answer to the suit against the di-
rectors of the defunct State Mutual
Building and Loan Association of Cam
den, has been filed in the Court OF
Chancery. In the answer every
charge of wrong-doing is denied by
former Judge Harry S. Douglass, OF
Cape May County, and Edward L..
Rice, of Cape May Court House, two
of the directors. The suit was insti.
tuted by the directors to recover loss
es sustained by the stockholders in the
wrecking of the Association. Other
prominent men throughout South Jer-
sey were involved.
Douglass and Nice say that the bus
mess of the concern was too large to
receive the personal attention of the
directors; that the directors met only
quarterly and that the real business of
the Association was carried on by an
executive committee, which did sub
stantially all of the business j.. They
declare that they had no knowledge
of the making of loans other than

TO RAISE ASSESSMENTS.
Board Finds South Orange Figures
Too Low.

The real estate of South Orange
township is to be entirely reassessed,
and not by the township assessor, w.
G. Miller, but by the County Board of
Taxation, whose criticism of the way
Miller did his work is the reason for
going ove it again. The board re-
Gently looked over his figures, as it
does those of every municipality in
the county, and said it found that
Miller was putting values on some
property of less than half its market
price. The president of the board,
Laurence T. Fell, who is a real estate
agent, and is in close touch with the
market SO far as it pertains to the
Oranges. He has taken the trouble
to add to his already large stock OF
facts a vast amount of information
to enable him to get at values. He
asserted that on one piece of property
which Miller had assessed at $40 a
foot, $50 would have been more like
the just amount. Miller is supported
by the people of the township, who de-
clare that the county board is going
way beyond what is reasonable. 1t is
not denied that the county body has
the right to criticise assessments, but
the point is made that the criticism
invariably has hit the smaller towns
and drawn down in some degree the
burden of the larger cities in the
county tax.

Chestnut Tree Blight.

Chestnuts will be few and far be-

Great Notch this year, due to a blight
which is not only killing the huge

Every effort has been made to destroy

success. Great Notch for years has
been known for it's great quantities of
the little brown nuts, and New York

Fire Burns Under Fans.

While 1000 persons were watching
a ball game at Long Branch between
a semi-professional team and the
Brooklyn National League team, fire
started in the stables directly in the
rear of the grandstand. The flames
spread with great rapidity and
caused a panic among the spectators.
There was a. stampede, and as the
smoke rose in threatening clouds, men
and women struggled to escape. 1t
is believed that some one thoughtless-
ly threw a lighted cigarette away and
some paper caught fire.
Before the fremen arrived on the
scene one-half of the structure direct
ly in the rear of the grandstand had
been destroyed. Fortunately, a change
of wind shifted the flames to the op-
posite direction, and they were ex-
tinguished before much damage a
done. The buildings belong to the
Hollywood Horse Show Association,
organized years ago after a revision
of the racing statutes in New Jersey
killed the sport at the old Monmouth
track. Since that time the show has
been conducted annually and has
been the scene of many notable So
