FORESTRY MEETINGS
IN WINDHAM COUNTY
Conferences with State Forester Halves
With Woodlot Demonstrations,
Set for Coming Week.

The first of the forestry conferences
conducted by State Forester Austin +.
Halves Will be held in Wilmington Tues
day evening and Wednesday morning,
Sept. 30 and Oct. /. The meeting in
the evening will consist of an illustrated
lecture on forestry work i'll Vermont
and will take in such subjects as thin
ming, planting, fire protection, etc. The
meeting the following morning will be
held in some nearby wood lot, and the
actual methods of estimating standing
timber, of filing in and thinning, etc,
will be shown.
On Wednesday evening and Thurs
day morning of the same week a sim
liar conference will be held in East Do
yer, on Thursday evening and Friday
morning one in Wardsboro, al on Fri
day evening and Saturday morning the
last one will be held in Townshend
The place and time of the evening lee
ture will be given out locally in each
of the four places, and the place for
the gathering in the woods will be given
| out in each case at the lecture the even
| ing before.
Vermont is waking up to the value of
her great lumber crop before it is too
late. The stripping of a woodlot of
every tree, big or small, is a wrong
practice. Our forests can be made to
| yield a crop of timber every few years
and still be conserved for future gen
erations. With this object in view oui
| Vermont forestry department is doing
a great work. These conferences vii
put us in touch with that work and will
| be not only interesting but instruc
| tive.

EAHE impeachment = Proceedings
against Governor William Sui
a. ger have created a situation in
the state of New York Which
is entirely unique. For the first time
since its creation into a chartered com
monwealth the state faces the perform
ance of a judicial function for which
there is not a single precedent to serve
as guide. 1t was in 1923 that Adrian
Joris was made the first chief eXecu-
tive of the colony, and. although fol-
lowing him ninety men, rich and poor,
high and low, soldier and civilian, have
held the reins of power, never before
has n governor been placed on trial and
compelled to fight for his official life.
New York state being the chief of
the sovereignties forming the federal
Union. this experience in its statehood
life assumes an Importance measuring
up to the highest rank of national hap
penings. Probably two events only in
the entire national history overshadow
the proceedings against the governor
of New York state = One of these was
the impeachment of President Andrew
Johnson and the other the decision of
the special tribunal that passed upon
the rival claims of Samuel J. Tilden
idency OF the United States. And even
these celebrated trials we're not sur

With the distinguished counsel ar
rayed on both sides, the proceedings
are certain to be long drawn out, for
with no recognized system of legal pro-
cedure to guide them it will be nee
essary for the prosecution and defense
alike to so slowly. AS the case pro-
crosses constant questions of law and
practice will arise, exceptions will be
taken and doubtless the highest court
in the land will in the end be called
upon to decide the tangled legal prob
