MAINE DEMOCRATS
CLOSE THE POSTAL
PATRONAGE FIGHT
Senator Weeks Interest
ed in Maine Forest
Reserve Movement

Washington, D. c.. March Ii
Especial )-Senator John W. Weeks Of
Massachusetts, has been taking an
interest in efforts to establish a for
est reserve at the headquarters Of the
Penobscot river in Maine. Some Of
the Maine men in Congress, particu-
larly Senator Burleigh, presented the
matter to Senator Weeks because he
has been SO closely identified with the
legislation for the White Mountain re-
serve in New Hampshire Senator
Weeks accordingly wrote the follow
ing letter to the government forester,
Henry S. Graves:
Senator Burleigh tells me that appli-
cation has been made for an investiga-
ton of lands in the Mount Katahdin re-
g.on in Maine on the theory that they
come within the provision of the forestry
law, which bears my name, being at and
about the headquarters of the Penobscot
river. l do not know anything about the
condition OF the appropriation or whether
il may be added to this winter, but
hope that an investigation may be made
so that II money is available in the fu-
ture this section may be given suitable
consideration.
AS matter Of fact the appropria-
ton is we'll nigh exhausted and Con-
,gress at the session which has just
adjourned failed to Inappropriate
about $4,000, coo which could not be
used in the first two years OF the OPP
GRAFTON Of the Weeks law. because
the geological survey was unable to
complete the survey Of purchasab BILE
lands within the time the appropria-
ton was availa bic. But there is hope
that Congress will ultimately appro-
pirate this 100000, some of which
would be for purchases in the Appa-
lachian system, and then there might
be some chance for the Mount katah-
din project.
DR.. George Otis Smith, director of
the geological survey and a former
resident Of Skowhegan, Maine, has
had charge of the extensive survey
work incident to these large purchas-
es for the White Mountain and Appa-
lachian reserves. The work has been
done in a very satisfactory manner to
all concerned. DR.. Smith, as Director
of the Survey, recommended TO Mr.
Taft, while President, the withdrawal
of extensive areas of oil lands in CAL
ifornia. This act of President Taft
has recently been upheld in an i'm
portant decision of the United States
Supreme Court and will probably re-
suit in the saving of millions Of dol
lars 20 the government.
