A Russian scientist claims to have dis
covered an inoculation for use against
forest insects.
There are nearly six thousand profess
sional foresters in Germany who are as
ISOLATED with various technical societies.
An organiza ton OF scientists who are

has recently been formed in Washington.

The university of Washington has Sc
cured the use of two sections OF land on
the Snoqualmie national forest in con-
nection with its forestry courses.
A tool used to fight fires on the Cali

The Buffalo herd on the Wichita ma

In an increase in timber sales this year
and in decrease in receipts from timber

the forests and respect for the federal
forest policy.
A conservation movement has been
started IN China, said to be richer in nat
ural resources than any other nation.
The Chinese use the word 'conservancy"

floods.
The steel towers that support electric
power transmission lines are being in
creasingly used by forest rangers as fire
lookout stations on national forests.
With the Harvesting of the mountain
streams anetwork of these lines is gradu

the rangers find the steel towers helpful
in their fire patrol work.

HISTORY OF MAINE.

In the prospectus issued by the general
committee of 81 appointed to arrange for
the centennial anniversary in 1920 of
Names admission as a separate State in
the Union, occurs this statement: ut
seems from all Investigations that there
is no authentic, complete history of Maine
and it is the aim of this committee to
have such work published before 1920. "
No adequate history of the Maine of the
present day, is in existence. The best
history of our State hitherto published is
that by William D. Williamson, which
brings the story down to 1889. Since
then IA years have passed, and though
John S. C. Abbott's History of Maine
originally published in 1875, and revised
by Edward H. Elwell and supplementary
chapters written by him bringing the mar
rative down to 1890, is worthy Of consid-
Grafton, yet the want of full and accu-
rate history of the Pine Tree State is
palpable want. And in connection with
this, it will generally be admitted that
the man best equipped to plan and super
wise the preparation of such history Is
the Hon. James P. Baxter, president OF
the Maine Historical Society.

GRANITE INDUSTRY THREATENED.

While Hon. John A. Peters, the Repub-
lican and protectionist candidate for Con-
gress in the Third District is visiting
committeeman ana third party men in
kennebec and Somerset counties, his sup
porters in the eastern part of the district
are not idle. The work of organization,
in charge of Maine citizens and tax pay
ers, is being pushed vigorously. The
fruits of this work are numerous verbal
and written assurances OF support for MIR.
Peters from men who voted for Theodore
Roosevelt last November. Thinking men
everywhere in the district have come 10
the conclusion that Mr.. Peters is the only
protectionist candidate who can defeat
free trade and Pattangall. They are TAX
ing off their coats and joining in the fight
to register a protest against the Demo-
cratic policy of placing Maine farms ard
industries in direct competition with for
eign produces.
Discussion of the granite paragraph in
the free trade bill now pending, which
occurred in the Senate July Both, show d
conclusively that the propos ed new rate
was dictated by New York firm Of i'm
porters and that the industry in New
England is Tx alv to be wiped out. This
has aroused the quarrymen and granite
cutters who see their means of livelihood

featured granite is imported. Under the
new rate, according to the experts, prac-

Waldo County Boys in Montana.

The Coombs boys were delivering few loads
of oats from last years crop IN this city last
week, having few hundred bushels more than
was needed for their own use. now that the
new crop is ready to harvest. J. W. Coombs
and his boys are among the best farmers of the
