BUYS MORE FOREST LAND
State Has Acquired Another Tract on
Mount Mansfield

The Vermont forestry department
| has just concluded the purchase OF a
| tract of about 1000 acres lying on the
east side of Mount Mansfield This
property, added TO the one acquired
year ago on the west side of the range
makes the total area about 5000
acres. The Mansfield forest thus be-
comes not only the largest state for
est in Vermont but, next to the Craw
ford North forest in New Hampshire,
the largest in New England. 1t is un
derstood that the state of New Hamp
shire paid 100000 for the Crawford
Notch property of 5000 acres. The
Mansfield forest will cost Vermont
about s13,500 However, in the for
mer case the timber was included in
the purchase, whereas funds were not
available for the Vermont forestry
department TO purchase the merchant
able timber. A fairly satisfactory ar
raneement has been made by the
state forester with the grantors
whereby they agree not to cut spruce
and fir trees which are less than 10
inches in diameter and hemlock and
hardwoods less than II miles all
trees to be measured at breast height.
On certain areas no cutting are to be
made and the time limit will make it
impossible to cut close. The legal ar
rangeinents for the purchase We're
made by States Attorney Maurice of
Lanloille county
From a forestry standpoint the pur-
chase Of this large area at reason
able price, with a fairly good stand
of growing trees, makes this by far
the finest area in the state Markets

are bound to improve and there can
be no question but that the purchase
Will prove good investment to the
state in future years.

favor of this purchase since 1: was
first called to his attention. Is particu-
larly interested because of It's scenic

the governor hopes to develop as one
of the chief attractions of the state.
1t is unsurpassed for beauty by any
thing in New England. Farther south
the Nebraska Notch crosses the state
forest. BY development of roads
through these two notches a wonder
ful circuit would be thrown open to
the autCmobilist. State Forester
Hawes believes that the demonstra-
ton OF practical forestry principles in
section which will be so widely visi-
ted cannot fail to produce good re-
suits throughout the state
In still another way this large state
forest will be beneficial This is in
the protection of the streams. Sever
al large brooks rise in this forest and
are important tributaries of the Win
ooski and Lamoille rivers. The water
falls in the forest are numerous and
exceedingly picturesque.
1t should be mentioned that the
summit of Mount Mansfield is not
included in the purchase, since that
belongs to the University of Vermont
through gift dating back to 1853.
These purchases are made possible
through an appropriation made to the
forestry department by the legislature
OF 1912

HARRY Y. ARKLE


"Tis the fash OF the lightning, the
break OF a wave. man passed from
life to his sleep in the grave" And
so 1t was Harry V. Ankle was sum-
moned on Saturday, when darkness
came over him without warning. He
has gone on that beautiful adVen-
ture," as one lately described death,
with the kiss Of a bright sun on his
brow. He slept away under the blue
canopy OF Gods heaven. 1t was the
way he often expressed the wish TO
be taken when he was called to cross
the bar.
Mr.. Ankle was Wheeling born and
bred, and was a distinguished type OF
class that reflects credit on the rich
fundamental equipment our puolic
schools impart to those who dillgently
apply themselves to the educational
facilities they afford. He was hne'
a finished product ot the Wheeling
system. He was also an exemplar OF
improved opportunities that the news
paper profession OF this city holds out
to all young men of perseverance, IN
dustry and ambition. Mr.. Ankle had
an unusually alert mind and the quick
perceptions of intellect, without which
no man can hope TO achieve success
in the journalistic field. He was an
easy, graceful writer. worker OF
strong convictions but of an open
mind to all questions and free from
all Earring prejudices.
While he gave some of his best
work to The Intelligencer. with which
he was associated for a few years,
his identification with the Register
was, one might say, Of lifetime. Ills
capacity and ability were marked. He
possessed an individuality that could
not be concealed in, the impersonal
attitude he assumed as editor. Kind
and generous in all his dealings with
his fellow workers he leaves that
which all men hope TO inspire in their
friendships. d pleasing and fragrant
memory.
Mr.. Ankle was called in the maturity
of his powers by wisdom that is
far beyond the limitations Of the
finite mind to conceive: 1t is hard
for those who enjoyed his amiable
companionship and were admitted to
the closer circle Of his friendships to
reconcile themselves to the stern fat
OF whatever Is for the best. That is
always the heiplessness Of human
sorrow.
