pine and sugar pine are among the mos;
valuable trees. At a conservative estm-
ate there are about 30.o0o,o00.o0 feet Of
western white pine which are worth at
least S90,o0e0. OF these 200HNo00 oo feet
are in private holdings and 1o,Ooo oO0,nF

mature sugar pine is placed in the neigh
horhood of Sl5oooo.09,, the greater part of

In addition to its effect upon this stand

seriously interfere with the planting of

Three men employed on the job OF re-

dinner hour Tuesday afternoon while at
their work. 1t is not expected that any
of the men received critical injuries but it
VIII take several days to ascertain just
how seriously their injuries will result
Escape from being crushed to death for
al least two of the men was almost mirac-
ulous.

in the act Of placing in position an up
right girder, between 20 and . feet in
length The girder runs from the base
ment to the support of the flooring of the
second story. The girder was partly sup
ported by a rope and partly by the men,.
who while putting it in place were ON a
. staging placed across the opening in the
first floor. Just how the accident hap
pened could not he stated. but the stag
ing broke away, probably because Of the
extra heavy weight placed upon it, and

girder remained in its upright position and

The men were injured by the falling
boards and by being wedged against
heavy uprights in the cellar. 1t is thought
Mr. Bruno was the more seriously in
iurod, as he complained of pain near the
base of his spinal column. Mr.. Raymond
was injured in the back and wrenchcd
one arm. Mr.. Blanchard received deep
cut over his right eye when he was hit
by a broken board His chin was also in
iured and he complained of pains in his
chest. Or. j. II. Dodds was summoned
but he did not find tho injuries serious
enough so he deemed it necessary to take

Inc Iirst printing press ever set up in
this country, or. for that matter. north
of the city of Mexico is still preserved
and in the museum of the Vermont His
torical society at Montpelier.
This press was procured in England

Jessie Glover, a pious man who intended
emgratnS to Massachusetts, and who
knew that printing outfit was the
most acceptable present he could take To
the colony and especially to the young
Harvard college, which sorely needed
something of that kind. The press may
have been built to order in England by
some joiner, since there We're no reeu-

printer giving directions for the construc-
ton of his press according to his own
ideas. Minor parts of this old press are
missing and of course it has often been
replaced; but It's frame and essential
parts are the original timbers and iron
work.
Mr.. Glover died before reaching Ameri-
, ca, but Mrs Glover set up the press in
Cambridge in the house Cat firsD of
Henry Dupnstor, IarVard's first presi-
, dent; and as soon afterward she married
Dunstcr, the printing office came under
his supcrntendencc The actual work
was done by stephen Daye. Dayc's

American publication, the Freeman $

young Samuel Green, the originator OF
a long and noted line of colonial print
ers, for there was always one of the
name in the business until the Revolu-
| ton. and during that time this family
furnished some of the leading pioneer
printers in other colonies
In 1714 the press was moved from Bos-
ton to Connecticut and in IT'S it was
