Portable Sawmills Being
Licensed by the State

Licenses for the operation Of port
able sawmills within the state are
now Being issued BY Samuel T. Dana.
the forest commissioner. An act
Iasscd by the last legislature provides
that hereafter it shall be unlawful to
operate a portable sawmill without
first obtaf1ino license therefor from
the forest commissioner. Since the
act became operative last Saturday,
the operation of portable sawmills
from that date without a properly
approved license will be a violation
Of the law.
SO many questions are being asked
as to Just what constitutes portable
mill that the following definition has
rcen adopted by the forestry depart
ment. "A portable sawmill is one so
constructed as to be readily movable
from place to place, irrespective of
how often it is so moved" In other
words it is the character Of con-
Struction of the mill that determines
whether or not it is portable. rather
than the frequency with which it is
actually moved.
In addition to providing for the Ii
CcrsinG of portable saNmills, the law
specifies that the forest commissioner
or forest fire Wardens in organized
towns. may at any time suspend or
revoke such license in times of
drought as to any portable sawmill,
the operation of which would create
an extra fire hazard. The new pro-
visions of the slash law require all
operators cutting timber adjacent to
woodlands owned by another, outside
of the Maine Forestry District, to
dispose of slash caused by cutting in
such j manner that inf1ammable ma
terial shall not remain on the ground
within 80 feet of the woodlands.
Suitable penalties are provided for
the violation of both this and the
portable sawmill law
An annual fee Of S25 is required for
a portable sawmill license, the re-
ceipts from which become a part Of
the fund for general forestry pur-
poses. All operators whose mills
would be classed as portable are
liable to a fine Of $500 for operating
without a license.

In the matter of the accident on

Of the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad,
in which c. {. Kinney of Houlton,
aged 26, a B. & A. brakeman was
knocked from a freight car while do
ing shifting work at the siding by a
carriage or chute for loading mill
waste, receiving injuries which
eventually caused MIN death The
decision concludes: This projection
never should have been allowed in
the position that il was in at the time
of the accident and very soon after
that ii was removed
In the matter of death of Freeman
W. Wallace Of Portland, a deckhand
on the steamer Pilgrim of the Cas-
co Bay Lines. Inc, who through the
giving away of the hinges on a bar
at gangWay on the steamer, fell

clSIon finds that the hinges we're in
a weakened condition and concludes:

car step and looking out and back
ward the decision finding that the
accident was the result of Brent's
own carelessness, but calling the at
tentlon of the company to the fast
that the man was riding on the car
steps. 1T is hardly necessary VIC
believe, for us to suggest that pas
sengers must never be permitted to
ride upon the car steps"
In the matter of the petition of the
Androscoggin Electric Co. authorjz
ing the company to take down its
per cent mortgage bonds dated Oct.
20, 1914, payable Oct. l, 1894, of the ag-
gregate par value of S415. 900 and TO
sell the same at not less than IS per
cent of the par value, and accrued
interest: or pledge the same at not
less than 20 per cent. of the par
value, or both, and to sell the bonds
so pledged, when redeemed for the
pledge, at not less than the first
price. The proceeds are to be used
in payment of the unfunded debt of
the company and in endorsement
of its treasury for capital expendi-
lures made since Oct &c, 1914.

depicts women as women.
TOD wise Wives" is six reels Of
real humor, hutnor that at times
threatens to be martally tragic, but
never reaches that point. 1t is the
story of two wives. each Of whom
thought herself wise in her own par
ticular way and know all about hus-
bands. Particularly is it lesson for
the wife who prepared her meals by
the rule of calories and Vltamens and
who wanted her house spic and span
all the time. And there is a man in
it, her husband who faces big temp
tation, though a rather new phase of
the eternal triangle. But when every
thing comes out all right ard the
wives learn more than they thought
they could learn. then the story proves
that it is really big worth while Of
