TO PROBE WASTE LAND
Unpaid State Commission Asked by
Commerce Chamber.

Boston-A new state commission,
unpaid, to investigate the general sit
uation rs regards waste and wild land
in the State. has been asked for 10y
representatives. OF the Boston Cham
Der OF Commerce before the Taxation
Committee one member OF this com
mission shall be the commissioner OF
taxation. one the State forester, and
the other three selected from the cit
liens OF the state. The commission Is
to serve without pay, but shall be al
lowed $4,000 for its expenses.
AS stated by the gentlemen named,
the most valuable asset OF the state
is going TO waste. and about 10 per
cent. of woodland territory is now
good for nothing to anybody, because
it has been deuuded OF its timber;
it is benehting nobody in the way OF
taxable property. and IL is better For
tho Commonwealth to bring IL back
by the re-forestation. At present the
timber land of this Commonwealth Is
producing the "picayune" sum of
$3,5C0,0OO when II should be produc-
tive of five or ten times that amount.

FOUND A COAL MINE

Manchester, y. H.-One OF the coal
dealers in Manchester in screening
coal this winter had thrown out ton
or so OF slate and rock which he had
drawn away and dumped. An en-
ploye of one OF the mills while going
home one night saw the pile and in
the darkness thought he had almost
discovered a coal mine. Fearing that
some one would discover il and get
the treasure away from him he pro-
cured a wheelbarrow and spent good
share OF the night in wheeling the
pile 10 his home. In the morning he
built a good wood fire in his stove
before light, and put on a hod full
of the coal. To his surprise things
did not seem 10 warm up as he eX-
pected and looking in the stove he
found the fire was entirely out. His
disgust may be imagined when an ex-
animation disclosed the character of
his find and he thought of his hard
nights work in wheeling il TO his
home.
