viles to Speak in Portland.

Blaine S. Viles, Esq, State forest
commissioner, will give short talk
on THE Maine Forests and Methods
of Forest Protection" before the Port
land Retail Merchants Association
Thursday evening, Feb. H.
Mr.. Viles is a graduate of Bowdoin
College and the Yale Forest schooi,
after which he was for several years
engaged as superintendent OF Corpin
park. a large forest and game preserve
in New Hampshire. After leaving Cor
bin Park he engaged in private for
estry in Maine and acted for sometime
as a member of the State Fish ana
Game Commission. His knowledge ana
wide experience enables him to handle
the subject which he is to discuss
from the viewpoint of an expert.
The citizens of Maine have in the
past paid too little attention to the
proper handling and protection OF
their forests, both from the point OF
forestry and for the great necessity
of protecting the head-waters of the
streams and rivers, which do now fur
nish to some extent and will in the
future to a much greater extent the
water power for factory and electrical
purposes.
These subjects should appeal to not
only the members of the Retail Mer-
chants Association but to all the citl-
zens of Portland and vicinity.

"suntv Pulls the Strings"

"Bunty Pulls the Strings a comedy
In three acts, was presented Wednes-
day evening. at the Opera house to
a good sized audience. The play was
laid in Scotland at about the middle
of the 18th century and was full of
interest throughout. "Bunty Jigger'
held the attention of all, for it was
by her skilful management that her
father, a widower, was married hap
PLY, keeping from the entanglements
of a maiden lady to whom he owed
debt.
Amusement in plenty was provided,
and yet the play was not all humor
Stern dialogues were frequent. for the
master of the household was not a
man to be. trifled with. In fact the
play portrayed life as it really is,
omitting neither sorrow or happiness.
Miss Molly Pearson played the part
Of "Bunty" to perfection and her
Scotch dialect was very pleasing. AS
Jeems Gibbs, the minister's man,
Hudson Liston made a hit and the
part of Susie Simpson, the designing
maiden lady, was well taken by Polly
Griffin. AS the master of the house
hold, Rab Bigger. James Finlayson
was excellent and particularly
strong company assisted the princi-
pals.

When discovered the fire was found to
have originated in a cupboard in the
shoe shining department at the east end
of the store From there it had worked
its way through the partition and into
drawer in the main store, where it
found egress and ran up over the front
of shelves filled with boxes of shoes and
rubbers until it reached a sprinkler head
which melted and set the water going
One or two other sprinkler heads were
also melted and 1t was due to them that
the fire was held in check and would
eventually have been drowned out After
the fire was located in the drawer it was
the work of but moment to kill it out

The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr.
Cohen left for Boston Wednesday morn
ing, and Bert Davidson, who has charge
of the store during the owners absence
stated that he closed the store sometime
between SIS and S.25 for the night. 9th
ers who were there at the time of clos
ing thought that the time was little
earlier. In the cupboard where the fire
started were kept some rags, shoe paste
and other things used in polishing shoes
but Mr. Davidson said that when he clos

and also stated that none of those in the
store at the time had been smoking.
At this time the fire loss cannot be es-
timated In the Cohen store there will
be loss on account of smoke and fire
and also on account of the wetting of
portion of the stock by water from the
sr1rinklers. In the basement under the
store the Journal Co. had about $500 worth

University of Maine
Campus Jottings.

University of Maine, Orono, Me-,
Feb. 1.-THE trials for the Freshman
debating team, to debate with Ban
gor High some time in the near fu-
ture, were held in Estabrooke hail.
Wednesday night at 7.3O o'clock Each
speaker debated the question: Re
solved, That the United States Should
Permanently Retain the Philippines" ."
The speakers were allowed five min
utes each.
The trials for the Junior and Senior
debate are set for Tuesday, Feb. II
The finals of the Freshman Sophomore
debate were on Wednesday, Feb. IS.
With the passing of the class of
1912 from college activities went also
the organization better known as the
Y. NJ. c. A. Last year no effort was
made to re-organiZe the club and this
year was apparently rolling by with
out any effort being made in that di-
rection. But President Alley had seen
the need of such an organization and
in cooperation with the faculty, has
issued a letter to all the men who
are still in college who were at one
time connected with the organization
in order to secure the help of the stu
dent body. At the present rate the
work is progressing, it bids fair to be
a success.
1t will be of no little interest to the
frequent visitor to chapel to know
that the same order of special exer-
cises will be continued this semester
as formerly, namely: Monday and
Tuesday and Thursday the regular
exercises; Wednesday the regular ex-
ercises, together with special music.
Friday the short exercises and short
address to the student body by some
prominent individual or member of
the faculty.

With the mercury at IS below zero
ter the fire department was called out
at S44 Wednesday evening by an
alarm from Box &c. on the Journal
building, on account of a fire in the
shoe store of Samuel Cohen in the
north side of that building. Luckily
the blaze was extinguished before it
had gained a great amount of head
way. by the use of chemicals that COM
pleted the work already carried on
to a considerable extent by the auto
matte sprinkler system with which
the Journal building is equipped. Thus
the loss on account of the fire will be
much smaller than it possibly could
have been under other circumstances.
That a fire was in progress some
where in the building was first dis
covered at about $50 by members of
the Journal night force in the editorial
room when smoke was seen rolling out
from behind one of the bookcases. At
that moment some of the members OF
the Abnaki Club telephoned as the
smoke began filing the club room If

Journal building on the north. II. j.
Cross, who was in the club room
sent in a still alarm to Cushnoc hose
house, which brought Hose TO the
scene on the run, and as the chances
of a serious blaze were threatening,
at the request of Night officer Cor
bett, Charles Halpen of the journal
reportorial force, pulled in an alarm
from Box 36, bringing out the de-
partmont.
Up to that time the exact location
of the fire was not known, but wheh

Many Augusta people have within
the past few days noticed in different
sections of the city f1ocks OF birds
which have been the cause of no small
amount of inquiry and which nave no
doubt in some cases been mistaken for
robins, although there is really no SIM
ilarity between the two birds. Whether
there Is more than one flock Of the
birds in the city or whether the same
flock has been seen in different sec
tions IS not known, but while the pres
ence of the birds was reported Sunday
on Western avenue, on Monday they
were reported over on the east side
of the river. The bird in question is
the pine grosbeak, the true home of
which is the coniferous forest or Can
adian belt which runs diagonally
across the continent from Maine to
Alaska. The male grosbeak is slate
gray in color, more or less washed with
rose red, strongest on the crown,
rump upper tail-coverts and breast
wings fuscous or dark brown, their
coverts edged with white; tail fus-
cous. The female is the same in col
or with the exception that where the
Htie iS Iea heI colorlnB is oiiFe yer
low. The grosbeak Is about two
thirds the size of the common robin
and resembles that bird in form, bur
it's short. thick beak and forked tail
are marked differences. In midwinter
the birds come south for food and
find sumac berries and such other
berries as remain on the bushes dur
Ing the winter months very nourish-
ing. When flying the bird utters a
loud whistle. Grosbeaks take readily
to captivity and it is said that in the
springtime they have long melodi-
Gus song.
