 Union usually has more snow in winter than the surrounding towns, and we certainly have had a plenty now. Never before within the memory of the oldest inhabitant has snow storm after snow storm come without thaw between to take off any of the snow. In the blizzard of March, 1888, more snow fell at one time and it drifted more, but there has been more snow on the ground this spring than then. In the woods here it has been nearly three feet deep, deeper near the end of March than at any previous time in the winter. This is a month to be remem bered to tell our grandchildren about. It has been quite a task to keep the roads open in certain places in town and much shovelling has been necessary. The deep snow in the woods has greatly hampered the lumbermen who found it difficult to get the logs out and for the horses to get around with load. The maple syrup makers are wonder ing how they will gather the sap this spring in the deep snow. It is time now to tap the trees, but it has been so wint1y hither to that the work could not be begun. This month is a great contrast to last March when it was so warm and dry that there was great danger of forest fires and the fire lookout at Mt. Ochepetuck was begun on March 2Oth. State Fire Warden Filley says that TAT firest were reported last March in the state, more than during any other month in the year. This year there will proba bly, not be one this March.

 There is much wisdom in the proposition, if the men be found, they probably can be- Wars should be fought by old men. not by young men. War would not be nearly burdensome if only those past middle life were recruited This for the that when man past 50 killed the world has sustained great loss when boy is killed. At 70, when passes away, the loss is great; only few years at most But 16 1S there is of estimating the loss
 But is such strenuous game that only the young follow it for length of time It would require exceptional old to endure campaign of few months. Not in million of the age of 70 could go through for what the boys in the trenches in Europe have endured.
 At 30 and 60 there ought to be great in every country capable of bearing arms-and it is good prop osition of the steamter to recruit such regiment It would at least give all of older fellows who have been doing much talking about the chance to whether courage would stay with

GIVE HIM CREDIT.

Did Col. Richardson, chairman of the Board of Road Commissioners say that he had pursuaded congress to appropriate $500,000 for road work in Alaska this year? Did any newspaper ever even insinuate that it was the Colonel who had pursuaded the powers that be- to give us at tention along that line this year? If we remem- Der correctly, the Colonel did claim much. Likewise some of the newspapers to the west ward have euogized the Colonel for his work in securing the generous appropriation. All of which is a mistake, according to the record a copy of which was received yesterday.
 From the record, it is clear that it was Wick ersham who secured the appropriation. The Colonel, disregarding the wishes of the people and the necessity for larger appropriation this year, demanded of congress very modest sum. To this was added the munifcient sum of $300,- 900 and all at the suggestion of the Delegate The record shows that.

It beats all how nature interferes sometimes In Pennsylvania, a man discovered a remedy for snake bite, which is said to be simple and very efficient and consists of mixture of whisky, onions and turpentine, taken internally. Hun dreds of men in the states of Washington and Oregon would like to use it. but the trouble is there are no biting snakes in those states. They are all harmless.

ROUND THEM UP CHIEF.

According to three business men who spoke about the matter, it would seem that some of the men making up the crews of some of the fishing boats and others, need attention at times. One of such instances that came under the observa- tion of the business men referred to occurred only few days ago when the power boat "Kus- kokwim,' in disabled condition passed through here It is said that some members of the crew became very abusive and vulgar, and used lan- guage positively out of tune. Language that may be called perfectly imperfect-or bizarre.
 Provided they behave, nobody wants to drive them away and while some of us men can, and do, overlook the beast part of men, we must see that our women folks are not exposed to such exhibition of def of decency. And, apparently the only way to do that is to round them up.
