FOREST FIRE CONFERENCE
 AT HARTFORD WEDNESDAY

The forest fire conference which is to be held at Hartford Wednesday bids fair to be of unusual interest," The great damage done by fires this spring has aroused the public and especially the land owners to the seriousness of this problem. There were fourteen tre- mendous conf1agrations which burned over 1000 acres each. Altogether thirty five serious fires burned half of the area covered during the season and accounted for somewhat more than half the dam age.
 Governor Lake will open the meeting if his other duties permits. The govern or has long been interested in forestry matters Col. H. S. Graves, formerly chief forester of U. S., will be the chief speaker at the conference His sub ject is Reducing the Fire Menace Cor Graves is the originator of the move ment for national forestry policy, and it is we'll known that he believes that the public has certain rights which must be placed above private privilege. It is expected that his address will be full of suggestions of practical value in elim- mating fires in the future.
 The question of railroad fires is al. l ways an important one, This year rail- roads were responsible for 1s1 fires 1T
 
 nine which were set by the Central Yer mont railroad, all the rest were due tc l the N. Y, N. H. 6 H. R. R. A few o l these were due to burning ties at { 1 time when this should not be allowed i few were probably due to the firemer 1 throwing hot clinkers from the engines but most of them were due to defectivi l locomotives. In the Adirondack regiol the railroads are required to operate oil burning locomotives. This may be tn solution of the problem in Connecticu especially on such lines as the Centra New England R. R., where alone thirty l two fires burned over 1885 acres thi spring. Present prices of the advan | tage which coal formerly had over oi as a locomotive fuel The only obstacl to it's general use is the cost of equip ping the locomotive for this purpose. En gineer Maintenance of Way, W, J. Bake. will represent the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. I at this conference and tell what plan his company has for meeting the fir problem.

PEOPLE PUZZLED
 ABOUT POWERS DEATH

Relatives in Waterford os Victor Powers. whose death in April in Si- beria was recently reported are great " puzzled as to the purpose of the government in sending the notice for publication. They doubt if the de- ceased left any estate of sufficient value to require it's being delivered to relatives and they even doubt if the deceased was an American citizen.
 His father, one of the brothers in a well known Waterford family. many years ago went abroad on business
 for the United States goyernTnent, supposedly secret service business. He rarely communicated with his family in Waterford and was last here 2S years ago. Several years ago an aunt
 in Waterford received a letter from
 Victor Powers, telling Of the death of
 his father and asking how he might arrange to come to America and en- ter an American college. He was ad- vised to take the matter up with the
 nearest American consul.
 Powers father while in Russia met the daughter of an English family l then stationed in Russia and made ! her his wife. Victor Powers and two | or three other sons were born to then | 1t is said. These children never came to this country as far as known anC | are supposed to have continued to liv, l in Russia. Their mother died som, time ago and later the Waterford rel
 atves heard that the widowed fathei had married a Japanese wife and hat 1 children by her. What became of thes l hlf brothers or sisters of Victor Pow 1 CTS and his stepmother the relative 1 in Waterford do not know

He said that ma tionally the party will demand the reten- tion of the federal prohibition law, and would fight any modification, at the same time demanding that the loopholes in the enforcement of the law at present be closed up.
