OUR DISAPPEARING
CAPTI KFI) AVIUM-: COOKING.
"I
Perhaps the officers who cap
turod,GeorgevWilsm in Hogback
mountain in Peters township lust
evening, took into custody a iiiau
who has been, systematically
plundering the outbuildings in
and about Port Loudon. At any,
rate the residents of Fort London
slept better last night than they I
had for some time because of the
knowledge that a man supposed
to be the culprit had been lodged
in the county prison.
The specific offense charged
against Wilson is the larceny of a
case of surgical instruments from
Dr. J. IL Devor, tin? Fort Loudon
physiciau. Yesterday afternoon
County Detective Johnston and I lso,i)iM),()i)i) acres, including Alas-
The lumbermen of the North
west, according t despatches
from Ijii Crosse, Wis., have agreed
upon a, uniform advance in prices
in two grades of white pine of
from TiO cents to 1.00 per thou
sand feet. They further an
nounce that all other grades Avill
be similarly advanced very short
ly. That action calls attention
anew to our diminishing supply
of while pine, formerly one of the
most common woods in our north
ern forests.
The wholesale denudation of
American forests is,and has been
for a dozen years, a pertinent sub
ject for discussion and legislative
act ion. In some States, uptably
Pennsylvania and I'uw York,
tardy efforts have been made by
the. enactment of protective' leg
islation to conserve the forests
and encourage the. establishment
of forestry reservations. Hut in
tin; Northwest, and latterly in
the South, tin; vast pine forests
are being leveled with' unsparing
and wasteful hand. As tin; sup
ply lessens and. becomes more
remote from river and rail-shipping
points, the rati; must inevi
tably continue to advance.
Whenever the subject of the
destruction of forests is raised,
however, defenders of the work
spring up with an array , of sta
tistics to prove that while our
yearly consumption of lumber is
about fjri.OOO.OOO.ODO cubic feet,
our visible supply embraces over
Constable IrnUrindle of Murks,
armed with Winchesters, for they
had been informed that there
was probably a gang of the law
breakers' in tho mountain, went
to the mountain and came upon
Wilson cooking u meal. 'Wilson
offered no resistance. He wore
now"gum boots, a new overcoat
und other new clothiug. He was
searched and keys belonging to
Dr. Devor found upon him.
Dr. Devor 's office was broken
into on Wednesday night and a
case of instruments and other
articles taken. Wilson was
brought here by Detective John
ston. He will be taken to Fort
Loudon for a hearing on Tuesday
before Squiro J. II. Hoerner.
Wilson is about forty-live years
of age and looks lis though he
might be a knight of the road.
Tho place of his capture is about
two. and one-half miles from Fort
Loudon. A search was made to
day of the mountains in the vicin
ity of the place of capture for the
case of instruments under the
direction of Constable Hriudle.

Ou Saturday, November 11,
lHil'.l, Rev. Lewis Chambers, at
his residence, united Air. Harvey
Lynch' aud Aliss Jennie Peel;,
both of Belfast township, hi the
holy bonds of matrimony.
A tramp a few days ugo worked a
new hard-luck story by asking if "the
lady of the house could give hiyi a Bi
ble -or Testumeut," saying that his
mother just, before her death gave him
hers, and requested him to read from
it every day, which he had faithfully
done until he lout it. These worthy
sentiments prod need not only a IP. bio,
but a square, meal, a good suit of
lothes and fl.
kit and the Indian Territory, an
available and coritinuablo supply
for all our present and prospec
tive needs. These same, fallacious
reasoiier;; point to' tin; forest - re
serves of Europe Russia with
4!) 1, ()()(),('()!) acres, Austria with
-H,( )(; lot i and on down to Eng
land with something over ,0'J(i,
( '00 acres in forests. Hut Pro
fessor FernoiV, chief of the for
estry division in tho Department
of Agriculture, has pointed out
that
It is well known to everybody
who is acquainted with our for
ests that they compare in yield
with tho average European con
tinental forests under systemat
ic management. Much of what
is reported as forest is useless
brushlaud, or open woods, and
depreciated iu its capacity for
wood production by annual tires,
by which the physical structure
of the loafmould is destroyed,
and, thus, too, its capacity for
storing tho needful moisture, re
ducing wood production aud kill
ing all young growth.
Tho ruinous practice of indis
criminate cutting without regard
to future production is the curse
of the lumbering trade to-day
and the prime cause of continual
ly advancing price.
Maine, one of the great sources
of pine supply, learned this in a
dearly-bought lesson years ago,
when her forests through unre
strained cutting, supplemented
by fire, were threatened with
ruin in a large portion of her ter
ritory. In Michigan, Wisconsin
aud Minnesota and sections of
the South the lesson is yet to be
learned.
There is one compensation,
however, and it is in the utilizing
of heretofore neglected woods.
The cypress of the South and the
red cedar, the tree of perhaps
widest distribution in the United
States, have been coming rapidly
to tin; front for domestic and ex
port purposos during the past
decade. The diminution, of tho
pine timber supply has been re
sponsible for this. Tho constant
advance! in price, apart from com
binations of capital formed for
that purpose, us well as diligent
investigation on the subject, North
and South, leads to tho convic
tion, nevertheless, expressed by
a forestry expert, that we are al
ready well advanced in an era in
volving the complete extinction of
our pi.'io'forosts.
A womiiu always feels thai her
house is fixed for the winter
when she has made it so dark
with curtains that you cannot sen
across tho room and has u palm
in every spot where you would be
most likely to sit down.
It isn't always labor that
counts. It's what wo think of
between working hour.
Some men art; too stingy to en
tertain a doubt.
