alton of Bellows Falls. The present
season this work will be continued with
$4,000 white pine and 1000 Norway
spruce, the latter to be used on moist
land.
The village of Springfield will also
plant 10, 900 white pine on an abandoned
pasture surrounding the reservoir.
Although not public forest, similar
work of the Rutland Light and Power
company is interesting in this connec-
ton. This company has planted con-
siderable areas in past years, and now
maintains a nursery for raising their
own trees.
There is an unprecedented interest in
forest planting throughout the State,
probably due to the fact that the first
forests planted are now demonstrating
their success. The State nursery has
received orders for over 100000 trees.

FOREST FIRES.

during recent years mucn more az
tention is being paid by the several
States to the important matter of
forest fire prevention, and by all re-
ports, Vermont is not tagging in this
most important matter. This year,
the owners of woodlands and the rail-
roads are much more willing, than in
former years, to cooperate with the
State in forest fire prevention. The
railroads, which run through Vermont,
have consented to allow State inspec-
tor to inspect all spark arresters on
their locomotives. Many of these have
been inspected this spring, and when
ever defects were found the railroad
officials were very prompt in having
them repaired.
The railroads are also assisting some
what by patrolling certain dangerous
sections along their rights of way.
One example of this is found in the
Northeast part of the State, where
the Grand Trunk railroad, Fitzgerald
Land & Lumber company, and the
State have cooperated in hiring patrol
man for very dangerous section along
the track just north of Island Pond.
This man will be kept patrolling during
the dry months of the year.
In the Southern part of the State,
several of the land owners have CO.
operated with the State, and lookout
station has been erected on the top of
Stratton Mountain. A man will be kept
on this mountain during the dry periods,
and as there is now a telephone line
running up to the top of the mountain,
the Waterman can call for help as soon
as a fire is discovered, in any of the
surrounding country.
The Forest Fire Warden system of
the State is the best this year that il
has ever been. There is from one tc
four wardens in each town of the State.
1t is the duty of these men to see to the
prompt eXtinguishment of all forest
fires in the various towns. These war
dens have the power to call upon any
one in the town for assistance in fire
fighting. Men called out by the fire
wardens are paid by the town at thu
same rate which the town pays fo
labor on the highways.
Last years report of the Stat
Forest Fire Warden shows that So fire
occurred in the month of May. Thi
= month had more fires than any othe
month of the year. Over IS percen
of these fires were caused through care
lessness of smokers, fishermen, an
' hunters. Fishermen and hunters shout
. be very careful in the use of fire, an
. always be sure that camp fires ar
totally extinguished before leaving
= This class of people should do all i
their power to prevent forest fires, a
once large area is burned over, tn
game is driven away, and during tn
summer months many of the brooks dr.
' up.
The people of Vermont should take a
active interest in this matter of fore!
: fire prevention, and whenever they di
y cover fire, either eXtinguish it then
/ selves or call the local town fiji
. warden.

A COMMUNICATIONS.

Editor Middlebury Register:
In view of the one sided and unfair
statements that have appeared in GER
tain newspapers of this State, regarding
the expenses of detective service, |
deem it best to prepare and publish for
the information of the people of the
State, complete statement OF the
detective service which has been used,
showing each item of expense in each
County, 1.-The purpose for which the
money was expended and the result
obtained. In other words, it is my pur-
pose to have both sides of the account
before the people so they may judge OF
it upon full information.
1t can be readily understood that the
preparation of such statement involves
considerable work and will take some
little time in as much as it is necessary
to obtain from the States Attorney O.
each County, full report of the Grim
inal proceedings in each County. Thu
statement is now being prepared ant
will be completed and placed before tn
people as soon as possible, without inter
fering with the performance Of tn
duties of my office.
trust that this statement will be o
assistance to the people of this State il
determining the question which seem
now to be squarely raised, as to whethe
or not crime shall be commercialized /
this State, in other words, whether tn
proper, efficient and successful prose
cution of the higher crimes shall b
made to depend upon the question Q
what it may cost.
In the meantime, all that the Legi
Department of the State asks is thu
the people suspend judgement in tn
matter until full information can b
furnished them % that they may kno
the exact purpose for which money hf
been expended and the net result
such expenditure.

1t may not be an easy task to ruo
down the miscreant who fired rifle
bullet into sleeping car on the Central
Vermont railroad at Highgate Springs
Thursday night, but it is very important
that the person be caught and dealt
with severely if the shooting was wilful.
There is too much of that kind of crime
going on, this case being more fragrant
than the mere throwing of a rock
through the windows of passing trains,
although both spring from disordered

Reforestation OF Watersheds in
Vermont

That the advantage of forest planta-
tons are not confined to the financial
results, is plainly evident by the ex-
tensive work now in progress of re-
foresting the water sheds of several i'm
portant reservoirs in the State. The
municipal authorities and water COM
panies evidently realize that these
plantations will not only be profitable
in time, but will have great value in
holding water in the ground until a
time Of year when the reservoirs are
naturally low. From sanitary stand
point also there is no more healthy
cover for watershed than forest,
The most extensive work of this kind
is that being done by the Montpelier
Water department. The department is
to set out near the city reservoir ii
Berlin, 80, 600 trees the present season,
pursuing a policy inaugurated by
Mayor Ballard several years ago. The
present order was received by the State
Forester from Mayor Estee last fall
White Pine, Scotch Pine, and Norway
Spruce will be used.
Near here, in the town of Orange
the city of Barre will plant 10, 900 Nor
way spruce on the land surrounding its
reservoirs.

in previous years by the village corpor

the conservation and improvement of
one of the greatest resources of Yer

should make an effort to attend the
forestry meeting on June 8, held at
Pittsford and later in the day in this
city. One of the most important move
ments in Vermont is reforestation OF
cut-ovel tracts, adoption of scientific
methods in cutting timber, both with
the view of restoring one Of the most
valuable assets of State like Yer.
