cently bjy Raphael G, Zon, of the bu
reau of forestry concerning the man
agement: 6f Mohegan Park, in township
5, Hamjlton County, N. Y., owned by
J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Zon recently
made an examination of the forests at
Mohegan Park, in response to Mrs.
Morgan's request to the bureau fdr ad
vice, and has outlined a simple pi|tn. for
their management which has been ac
cepted and ordered put immediately in
to practice. Mr. Zon's plan of manage
ment so well fits the special desires of
other priyate owners in the Adiron
dacks that it is' apt to have a far wider
application than to Moiiegan Park.
Mohegan Park comprises 1550 acres,
of which i4io«4 acres are in forest. The
forest has never been lumbered, although
it has furnished much wood for building
and heating, tue camps. ^The trees are
niainty hardwoods, most of Much are
pijBt maturity, and would, under a sys
fem of forestry for jthe liighest commer
^41 returns, be removed gradually Of at
on^c and replae^by a thriftier crop.
The own?r, httjij^f, desires that the
beautiful'pid allowed to stand,

and one-half-story houses and three
story houses. Now since the big fire
Fargo large buildings have burned
down, but the neighbors' property was
saved. So much good for our fire de
partment. 1 do think that is all a fire
department is for, is to save the neigh
bors', property. 1 am not an office
seeker. I have a business of my own.
All i ask of the council is to get facts
and huild on facts. Here you get facts.
Open four hydrants, set the pump go
ing. you find out if the water gets to
the pump fast enough. The cost to the
city is nothing. You have the first
facts{ Second, my idea is that the pump
should not lift the water. Last Satur
dav'4 wanted my article to read, if
sufficient water came to the present
old pump it will burst every main in
the city. Any man or set of men who
go t3 the foot of a bluff to find water
will get left. I refer the city council
lo thd Hon. Benjamin Russell of James
town. Our city council did two things,
they dug a well, second, they put in
a fottrteen-inch intake pipe from the
the pump, very likely they wi'.l
do, tne.ihird and out.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Hamden Reporter: On last Saturday
an accident happened which came very
near costing P. Norum his life. As it
is he is now cpnfincd to his home with
a broken kg land is suffering intense
pain. JO' '.' .'tj •/.
Ye scribe inteiYdecT to go to Stark
weather Saturday morning after coal
and had secured the use of Mr. Norum's
team. It is a team of bronchos and
not having had the harness on for about
a month were feeling pretty foxy.
Whenever they are hitched up it is
necessary for one person to h6ld the
horses at the head while another took
the lines and got into the wagon. Mr.
Norum was holding the horses by the
hits while ye scribe had hold of the
lines, but before we got into the wagon
the team started upon the dead run,
while Mr. Norum still held to the bits
endeavoring stop them, until his strength
gave way and he fell to the ground.
Luckily he fell between the horses and
escaped being trampled on by them, but
the wheels of the wagon run over his
left leg. breaking it between the knee
and ankle. He was at oncc taken to
his home, where Dr. Morrison found
that the break was such that it was
necessary to have assistance before the
bone could be set. Drs. Moffett of
Starkweather and Syler of Devils Lake
were sent for an Sunday evening Mr.
Norum was put under the influence of
ether while the doctors opened the
flesh and set and wired together the
broken bone. Since then he has been
suffering considerable pain and it has
been necessary for some one to sit up
with him each night.
Mr. Norum is one of Hampden's
general merchants and the accident at
this time of the year, when everybody
is bvigy preparing for winter, makes it
pretty hard for him.
He has the sympathy of the entire
community and we* trust his recovery
will be speedy. 4?

COUNTY COURT'S NEW FEES.
Estate* Must Pay More Than Double t|l» Fee
Formerly Charged.
KllW enactment of the in
creasing the fees in probate court in
the matter of handling estates will per
haps double the revenues of the Cass
County court. Under the old law es
tates ranging in value from $20,000 to
$25,000 paid fees amounting to $50. Un
der the new law they are assessed $5
for each $i,oqo of the estate's value.
As an illustration an application was
made today for the appointment of Wil
liam Morris as guardian of the estate
of the late Thomas R. Morris, which is
valued at $24,cco. Under the old law
the estate would have paid the county
$50, on a graduated schedule, formu
lated in the enactment. The new law
will make it necessary for the adminis
trator to pay into the county court
$124, this instance more than doub
ling the fees collected under the old
law. In explaining the workings of the
new law Judge Hanson remarked that
these fees are paid into the treasury
of the county and not to the county
judge.
In county court this morning the an
nual report of the administratrix of the
estate of Thomas R. Morris was al
lowed. 4
William Morris was appointed guar
dian of the three minor children of the
late Thomas R. Morris.
Attorney A. B. Lee. representing the
widow, made an application for the ad
mission of the will of the late Louis
F. Wolters to probate. Deceased was
a resident of Waukon, la., and left
real estate in this county valued at
$1,500.
RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Important Conference With Railroad Officials In
Reference to Coal Rates and Y's.
An important conference with the
board of railroad commissioners was
in progress at the Hotel Metropole
this afternoon. Commissioners Shea.
Lord and Schatz and C. C. Hammond,
secretary, were present. The subjects
under discussion were the maximum
coal rates, under S. B. 155 and Y's. In
conference with the commission were
Mr. Broughton of the G. N. freight de
partment. Mr. Bright of the Soo and
Attorney J. S. Watson appeared for
the N. P. Late this afternoon no con
clusions. had been reached and there
was nothing to give out for publica

FIXING COURT HOUSE LOSS.
County Commissioners and Insurance Adjust
ers Having a Session Today.
The county commissioners, in special
session, are meeting today with the ad
justers for the various insurance com
panies who held risks on the burned
out court House. 1 nere are six adjusters
here, each representing one or more
companies. It is thought that the com
missioners will have 110 trouble in mak
ing a satisfactory settlement with the
insurance companies. The interested
parties had nothing to give out today,
but a statement of the adjustment will
probably be made public in a day or so.
It is stated today that as soon as the
losses have been paid that the contractor
will go ahead and finish up the annex
portion of the court house, which was

WILL ENTER NAVY,
Prince Edward of Wales, who will
some day rule the British empire as Ed
ward VIII, is soon to become a cadet
at the Royal Naval college at Osborne.
There are now seventy-five cadets at
Osborne, which was transformed from
a royal palace into a British edition of
Annapolis a few days ago. Of course,
the cadetship of a royal prince differs
somewhat from that of the average lad
who enters the navy. His associates will
be carefully chosen. The little princ?
is said to have selected his owq caret.
V LONG'S CAREER.
Few men in public life can point to
such varied career as that of John D.
Long, secretary of the navy, who was
65 years old last Tuesday. He has been
in turn school-teacher, poet, singer,
translator, lawyer, politician, state rep
resentative, speaker of the house, gov
ernor, congressman, secretary of the
United States navy, national delegate,
lecturer and orator. He has gone
through nearly the whole gamut of po
litical positions and yet declares he re
gards the honor of being the governor
of Massachusetts superior to any other
in public life. While bearing the old
bay state such reverence, he is not a
native thereof, having been born in Buck
field, Me. His grand-father was a fish
erman. farmer and shoemaker his fath
er a poet, school-teacher, clerk business
man.
ASTOR EXTRAVAGANT
One of the most extravagant "house
holds in England is that of William
Waldorf Astor, whose son William is
now in this counfy. Astor. sr., is en
tertaining large house parties in Clive
den. It would be hard to excel the
Astor hospitality. A band of ten musi
cians is stationed permanently in
Cliveden. Every night this band plays
and the guests may dance or not, as
they choose. A few weeks ago the
duchess of Wellington was the Astor's
chief guest. She said she was "dying
to have some amtuer theatricals."'
She wrote oflt a list of costumes and
the Stewart was sent to Iiondon for
them. A stage was built in the ball
room and scenes were painted hurried
ly. This entertainment for the duchess
cost a great deal. Since young William
Astor has been in America nothing has
been heard of him in a social way.

not look for any pronounced bull mar
