Spoke Before Conservation Association

Alta meeting held in Harrisburg re-
Gently Hon. N. P. Wheeler, of Endeavor,
was one of the principal speakers before
the Pennsylvania Conservation Associa-
tion, and his remarks are thus mentioned
in Forest Leaves" the official journal of
this well known society, which is COM
posed of many of the most prominent re-
preventative citizens of our State; "Hon.
N. P. Wheeler spoke on Forestry from a
Lumberman's Standpoint stating he
was lumberman OF the third generation,
and located in the Tionests Valley, in
Western Pennsylvania, in 1865. At that
time many trees we're girdled and burnt
in order TO clear the land. A nice tract
OF 10 or II acres Of red and white oak was
burnt, because 1t was too heavy to float to
points where it could be manufactured,
10 feet butts we're left in cutting white
pine, and fully 80 per cent. of the tree
was lost, the stumps Icing cut breast
high. He subsequently cut off these
stumps and picked up the old butts for
Use in making shingles. At the present
time lsth are cut from slabs and edgings,
thus utilizing material formerly wasted.
"He emphasized the need of protection
from fire, stating that in the older forests
Tres are hard to start. His orders were
hat whenever smoke was seen, the men
hould at once stop work and put it out,
This paid. In fire.swept areas chemical
wood was made from the killed timber
al except oak and hickory being used
Tor this purpose. He secured, in this way
$50 cords, enough to ill Pennsylvania
\ve., Washington, ID. c., 40 feet wide
and feet high, for more than mile
Nhs utilization also prevents forest fires
tAter on. The daily saving was from q
To 80 cords of slabs, ETC., after all the latt
we're taken out. This enabled a shipmen
tlr making pulp of 900 cords annually
# former waste material, which woulC
herwise he food for forest fires, oI

nenfnes. Cnnnor be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condl-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

RESOLUTIONS.


We, the representatives of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Forest
County, recognizing God as our leader,
again record our gratitude and reaffirm
our allegiance to Him upon whom we
rely for wisdom, and will by prayer and
consecrstion strive to have only the mind
of Christ as we carry on our warfare
against the legalized saloon. AS an ex-
preston of our purposes and belief we
desire to record the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we will cooperate with
any temperance or reform measures for
the betterment of our own country and
state to the end that righteousness may
be advanced and good government main
tanned, and the true God glorified.
Whereas, We see the dangers of tobac-
co and the cigarette among the youth;
Resolved,
That we urge upon Unions more def
mite work in the Scientific Temperance
instruction department in aiding the
teachers OF the county with our expert
helps in the preparation for upright citi-
zenship.
We believe that the law of God is the
basis of all just laws, the Bible should
therefore be read in all public schools.
We cordially approve of the movement
for National Department of Health al
Washington, believing that such de-
psrtment would be in the interests of the
people in matters of pure food, unadul-
terated drugs and sanitation; that il
would regulate the inspection of milk,
meats and water supply, thereby leading
to lessened infant mortality and to the
prevention of disease.
Whereas, We believe that the press is 9
power for good, therefore, Resolved, Thai
we extend our thanks to the editors o.
our county who have printed our reports
and aided us in many ways throughout
the year.
In conclusion we extend our warmes
thanks to the officers of this church, the
choir, the pastors, the organist, the voca
aud instrumental soloists and to all who
assisted in the music, and to those whC
have in kindly ways added to our com
fort and entertainment, and in max inl
this successful convention.

Making Good at University

Garrett Price of Saratoga, Wyo.,
is probably the Youngest student
in the university. Many people
ON the campus during the past
two weeks have wondered who the
youth in knee-trousers could be
and what mission ne could have
in these halls of higher learning.
But these same people are already
opening their eyes to the fact that
Garrett Price is something of a
prodigy with a genius for doing
things quite out of the ordinary.
Garrett is a boy who likes to draw
funney pictures, and he has
started his career in the univer-
sity by getting up q series of car
toons descriptive of scenes and
people on the campus. He
drew these cartoons on a big piece
of cardboard and SIT them up for
exhibition the other day. Those
who have changed to observe the
drawing declare them the best
piece of cartoon work ever shown
at the university. The picture Of
1.-The Freshman" hitting Laramie
for the first time, is especially
clever. There are also "take-offs"
on two or three of the "profs"
When Opper and Dirks get thro
with the "Mule Maud" and the
"Kstzenjammer Kids" and go on
the retiring list, it is a safe ven
ture that Garrett Price of Saratoga
will come in for his share of glory
in the comic supplements of the
Sunday .papers.-Laramie Repub-
lican.

Will be Exhibited
at the State Fair

The agricultural exhibits of E.
L. Wheeler and g.. D. Blyden-
burg which were in the Agricul-
tural hall Of the Carbon County
Fair, are to be taken to the State
Fair at Douglas. Arrangements
have been made for their transport
tation and exhibition there which
is a matter for congratulation to
every n in the country. We
doubt very much whether there
will be any better exhibit of for
age plants from any part of the
state then that shown by Mr..
Wheeler at the Fair here.
DR.. Sam. f. Price is also send
ing an exhibition of his son, Gar.
rett Prices drawings to be placed
on exhibit there. Garrett is fast
coming into prominence as an
artist and every one predicts that
he will win in the line OF
of a cartoonist. Such of his
scketches as have been published
in the Sun, and reproduced in the
Laramie Daily Republican and
the Wyoming Daily Tribune, have
attracted much attention and
favorable comment and the papers
are already calling for more of his
work.
