Clear Bushes from Crossings.

S6pl. 20, 1olOs
To the Municipal officers of Maine cities
and towns:
The Public Utilities Commission asks
each newspaper in this state to call pub
lie attention to Chapter 1T of the Pub
lie Laws of 1915 That chapter provides
in substance that in each city, town or
plantation there shall be set aside 5per
cent of the money raised for ways and
bridges, such per cent to be used in
cutting and removing trees, bushes and
weeds which grow between the wrought
part of the highway and the road limit.
II is further provided that such work
shall be done before the first day of Oc-
tober in each year, and that after 1t Is
once done the owner of the land shall
keep trees, bushes and weeds cut down.
We realize that the Public Utilities
Commission may not have authority to
N any way indicate where such obstruc-
lions shall first be removed, but, in view
of the fact that during this particular
year far too many fatal accidents have
occurred upon railroad crossings, we
urge upon selectmen to commence the
expenditure of such money at places
where steam or electric railroads cross
highways at grade, in order that travel
ers upon the highways and engineers and
motormen upon the railways may be
given as full opportunity as possible
each to see the other in time to avoid
accidents.
There are many crossings which are
now entirely obscured from the view of
an approaching traveller, and which, If
these trees and bushes were cut away
would be visible and recognizable.
Ii a traveller is unable to see that a
crossing exists he will not exercise the
same degree of care he would Ii be could
readily determine that he was approach
ing a crossing. Oftentimes the sign
erected by railroad il gradually OBJ
scured by growing trees and bushes.
In at least two instances accidents have
occurred, resulting In the loss of several
human lives, which need not have been
sacrificed if the trees and bushes along
the highways had not existed.
We also ask the railroads to cooperate
with the selectmen in every possible way
in removing from their own rightsof
way at crossings all things that Obstruct
the view of the individual operating the
train or car.
The railroads and the public cannot
Immediately discontinue the many hum
dreds of grade crossings which exist in
this state. These crossings can, how
ever, be made safer by complying with
the above suggestion, and we feel it our
duty to give the matter the widest pub.
licity possible, in order that each citi.
zen may feel it is his personal concern to
see that the selectmen of his town not
only comply with this suggestion, but
are backed up by public sentiment 10
such compliance.

100000 Get Free Timber.

or the 8Ss, 922, 900 board feet of timber
cut on the National Forests during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1915, accord
ing to statistics just compiled BY the
United States Forest Service, 123, 1853, 900
feet was taken under free.use permits
given to settlers and others living In or
near National Forests. There were
40, 900 free. use permittees, and the value
of the timber they cut was $206, 84.l3.
The remainder, or 585, 754, 900 board
feet, was cut under sales contracts, for
the most part with lumber operators,
but including 19, 246, 900 feet sold at cost
to farmers and settlers, as required by q
special provision OF law. The prices re-
ceived for all sold timber varied from 80
cents to 81 per thousand feet, and the to-
tai value was 81, 179. 44S.39.
The statement shows that the Forests
of Alaska are furnishing large amount
of timber for local consumption. More
than 100000 feet, according to the
Forest Service, was cut uDCer sales con-
tracts during the fiscal year in the two
National Forests of Alaska, and it is es-
timated that the quantity taken under
the free-use privilege amounts to at
least 10 percent Of that cut under sales.
No figures are available on the Alaskan
free-use cut, however, as residents of the
territory are allowed, on account of the
relative sparsity Of the population, to
take all the timber they need for person
al use without going through any form
alities.
Outside of Alaska permits are issued
to those entitled to share in the free-use
privilege, as means OF preventing it's
abuse and to regulate this form of utili-
cation along lines which will tend to i'm
prove the forest conditions. The mate
rial taken by free-use permittees is re-
stricted largely to dead, insect-infested,
or diseased timber. trimmings, and inferior
species. Forest officers often act aside
suitable areas from which those granted
free use under the terms of the law may
help themselves under certain general
rules, but where green timber will be
cut the trees to be used are designated
Just as in all timber sales. The amount
of free-use material allowed individuals
Ia limited to twenty dollars worth year
ly.
Montana leads the National Forest
States in the amount of timber cut under
sales, with more than 101 100000 feet,
but takes second place in the free. use
cut, with 100000 feet. Idaho leads
the free-uss list, with cut Of nearly 25,-
OOO, 900 feet, and is close second in the
amount of timber cut under sales con-
tracts, with over 100, 000,00 feet. Ore
gon, Colorado, Washington, Ariz
California, Wyoming, Utah, New Mex
ico and South Dakota in the order
named, contributed from 60,000,0O0 to
"a, 0OO, 900 feet under both free use and
sales. The middle western and eastern
National Forest States furnished rela-
lively insignificant quantities.

WEEKLY WEATHER FORECAST

A new weekly weather forecast de-
signed especially to aid farmers in
planning their farm operations and
shippers of perishable products to
handle their goods with reference to
expected weather conditions, will be
inaugurated by the United States
Weather Bureau on April 20 and con-
tinued during the crop season. In
order to have these weekly forecasts
reach the faimers and shippers in
small towns with the least possible
delay, the bureau also has arranged a
system whereby the forecast will be
taken Tuesday and reach the weekly
newspapers, especially in the corn,
wheat and cotton districts, by mail
on Wednesday morning which will be
in time for the greatest number of
them to use the information in their
editions. In this way it is believed
that the forecast for the week COM
mencing Wednesday morning will be
in the hands of most of the farmers
and shippers in the small towns,
through the medium of the weekly
newspapers, Wednesday night, Thurs
day, or Friday thus giving them
the benefit of from to days of
advance forecast. The forecasts will
be prepared at Washington on Tues
morning and will cover the week COM
mencing Wednesday.

HELEN KELLAR.

Helen Keller, who is perhaps the

day, comes. to Wausau on May 10 to
give her lecture entitled Happiness.
After one of her lectures, someone
asked Miss Keller if she could tell
whether her audience was large or
not, and in her answer showed what
a remarkable use she makes of her
own senses.
eyes, it was large audience, y
she said, 81 can tell by the vibration
of many feet in motion, and then the
air is dense and warm when there
are many people in the room"
"Can you tell if people are applaud
ing you," she was asked.
Eyes" she replied, shy the vibra-
tion of the air.
Her listeners wanted to applaud
but were interrupted by another
question.
"Can you tell if your audience is
interested ?"
'Oh yes, they always are.
And one wonders how anyone could
help but be interested by this genius,
genius all the more strongly APP
preciated after one has listened tc
the story of her life, as told in the
lecture.
