Satisfaction is expressed In all quarters because tue United States Gov ernment is about to take measures to prevent the gathering of Anarchists in this country. It has been tbe earnest conviction of many people that this would bave to be done.

Liberty is one thing, license quite anoth erBlizzard. Mr. Wheeler on Forest Preservation. The 1Mb annual convention of the Na tional Wholesale Lumber Dealers Asso ciation was held In Washington, I). C, last week. Representative Wheeler of Eudeavor, Pa., was one of the prominent speakers at the convention. He is a leading member of this association. In Its acoount of tbe proceedings of the con vention the Washington Daily Star has this concerning our Congressman: A re port for the committee on forestry was presented by N. P. Wheeler. He re viewed the destructiveness of the early settlers in clearing their land, and the same careless methods, be said, obtained for fully two hundred years. "The usual conception of a lumberman is one wbo cuts down and denudes forests, not one who preserves them," Mr. vVheeler said, but to this be added tbe statement that the lumber dealers of today, realizing the Inevitable shortage which must be fell In the very near future, are doing more, probably, than any other agency to pro mote tbe cause of forestry, "Lumbering now Is carried on much more carefully tban ever before," tbe speaker continued, "and trees when cut are used from their very base to within six Inches of their tops, SiiaKes that formerly were left ly- ing on tbe ground as waste are now cut up Into shingles, and even the scraps are raked together and sent to the pulp mills. We believe tbe homestead law as applied to timber lauds should be repealed, but we approve of tbe general forest reserve policy of tbe government. Under such management tbe forests should continue forever to furnish material for the homes of men, to preserve the water How and shed its beneficial influence over the plains and rivers below. This with the growing Interest in forestry generally, tbe greater care of lumbermen to pievent waste of their timber holdings, the pro lection of tbe wood lot and wind breaks by the farmer and the natural reforesta tion ol abandoned farms that never should bave been cleat ed, are hopeful signs that our forests will still be preserved." I'lne Forests and Their Rep rod net ion. Paper by Mr. Orion Siggius, of West Hickory, Pa., read before the Farmers' Institute held in Tionesta, Pa., Feb ruary 2Sth anil 29th, 190S. Tbe Allegheny River at West Hickory, Pennsylvania, forms tbe Western bound ary of the great body of white pine whHi once grew in Pennsylvania. White pine did not exist west ot this only in very small patches, scarcely any alter passing the western boundry of the State. On line northwest of that place is a hardwood section for a distance of five huudred miles, then would be reached what was once the greatest white pine section of tbe United States,!, c, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Turning to the east of th's large body is found more or less white pine to a distance of more than 1500 miles, Very little of this timber Is found below tbe southern boundary of Pennsylvania. Some distance south of this the southern pine takes its place. This is a smaller tree and contains more pitch and is a harder wood which will not yield more than one-fourth as much per acre. A white pine tree originates from a seed or spore which lorms In cones grow ing invaribly on the top branches of the tree. These cones are two years in ma luring. The cones open in September and October and tbe winds blow the seeds in a haphazard manner out over the ground sometimes a mile distant, though generally quite close at band, possibly to tbe extent ol ten acres, and mostly toward tbe east in ttis sectiou, as west winds generally prevail at that time of year. If tbe seeds do not happen to fall on thick leaves so that they can not reach tbe ground, or insects do not destroy them, or tbe rains wash them into a stream, or birds do not eat them, or their greatest enemy, forest fires, do not consume thorn tbe next apring they will grow and form stems three or four inches high. For a few years they will branch out and up and will be about as large one way as the other. Then if properly shaded by other little bushes, or small trees of their own kind, they will (tart to grow upwards. Between tbe fifth and twentieth years the greatest amount of in jury is caused by wevil, which in the grub stage, mines into tbe terminal shoots, causing a crooked stem. Some times a green limb is broken off by an other tree (ailing. This lets in water which forms "punky" or rotten trees. If tbe tree escapes all these obstacles in about 60 or 70 years it will be from 70 to 80 feel high. At the age of 150 or 200 years the tree will be about full grown, and attain tbe height of 120 to 150 ft., cut ting from 2000 to 5000 ft. board measure. Then the growth is slow and at 225 to 300 years the growth rings which form year ly become so small it is almost impossi ble to count them. At about this time, mabe earlier, the tree begins to die at tbe top and decay works farther down from year to year. In 1896 I cut several of these old trees, one of them making a sticlc of timber, off tbe butt, 30 feet long, which measured 30x31 inches In diameter. This was the only part of the tree which showed life and was sound enough to be merchantable. Tbe tree was 300 years old as nearly as I could as certain. Forest county contains 337 square miles or 215,680 acres. About 35,000 acres of this were originally covered with white pine. At an average of 35,000 ft. per acre would make twelve hundred and twenty five millions feet, board measure. The above estimate does not include Barnett Township. It is stated by good authority that no acre of land In Pennsylvania ever produced 100,000 feet, board measure. I am of tbe opiniou, however, that acres could bave been found In Forest county which would bave produced more tban that amount of pine alone. In point of rapid growth, value and variety of nse fulness no timber compares'witb white pine. Its wood is soft. Mechanics would rather work in It that in any otber wood Its trees attain greater size tban any others In Pennsylvania forests. It is durable. In 1814 my lather covered a barn with white pine shaved shingles. I removed them in 1888 when they were yet turning water. In addition to its mechanical values it is said tbe winds in its branches produce music, while the fragrancy of tbe sawed lumber is health giving. The first cutting of lumber In this seo tlon of country was on tbe pine. Tbe writer remembers when it was considered almost disgraceful to cut and use hem lock lumber, and hemlock forests bad no value. White pine in Forest county is practically gone. And we are fast ap proaching the conditions which exist in old countries. In Forest Reseave Circular No. 110, issued January 28, 1908, 1 found the fol lowing statement: "Many people in this country think that forestry bad never been tried until the Government begau to practice it upon the National Forests, Yet forestry is practiced by every civil ized country in the world, except China and Turkey. It gets results which can be got in no other way, and which are necessary to the general welfare. Forest ry is not a new thing. It was discussed two thousand years ago, and it lias been studied and applied with increasing thor oughueuB ever sluce." Ueriqaqy ueeuja to be well up with any other country in forestry. She noticed her shortage LiO years ago and today is producing five sixths of the lumber site consumes. The United States, at tbe preseut time, are using about three or four times as much timber as ber forests grow. On the tweutieth of this month we felled a pine which was oue hundred years old, carefully marked the logs, took them t the mill. The first 12 loot log from the butt of the tree produced 378 feet of lumber. This together with the balance of the tree made 13S2 feet, b, ui. This tree did not have proper sur roundings, as forty feet of the top stem contained crooks. And it proved to be much older than we had expected to find It. We then measured off a piece or lot of second growth pine, the tin est I have ever seen, ten rods wide and sixteen rods long, making, you see, an acre. By act ual count, we found this acre to contain 120 trees. By measuring I he diameter of each tree we found they would average 273 feet, hoard measure, per tree. This multiplied by 120, being the number of trees on an acre, would Indicate ihe cut of this particular acre to be 32,010 ft. board measure. Tbe trees were found to be about 05 years old and were about 80 feet high I have heeo convli oed for several years that a proper growth of white pine forest reaching the age of 100 or 125 years will produce as much sawed lumber as it ever will as I ho dying out and destruction is so great. I wish to stale here that I am of I ho opiniou that it is damaging to trim any green limbs from pine trees. For it they are planted in proper proximity to each other uature will provide for this. The limbs will dry and fall off at the right lime, leaving only such on tbe top of the tree as nature seems to require. It is unnecessary to go Into detaila of obtaining seeds and producing seedlings here as the Government has so fully covered this suoject iu their circu lars at many times. Forest Reserve Circular No. 100 issued June 22, 1907, entitled "Suggestions for Forest Planting," will give all informa tion necessary on this subject. It is ac companied by a leaflet containing names and addreses of twelve nurserymen wbo will furnish seed.ings of white pine to gether with sizeof seedlings and pi ice of same. They also give names ol men who will furnish seeds and prices of same. Forest Reserve Circular No. 110, Issued Jan. 28, 1908 describes what wonders bave been obtained in Forestry iu foreign countries. In Year book of Department of Agriculture for 1905 you would find a description of "How to produce a Home Nursery." All of which information can be bad free of charge from the United States Department of Agriculture, Divi sion of forestry. 'eighborliood Notes.

She was a womau of superior character, and greatly beloved by all wbo knew her. George Withlll and Alra Tenant were acquitted on a buiglary charge by a Greene County jury. Tbe chief testimony was that tbey bad been tracked to their homes by bloodhounds. The jury held this was not proof of guilt. The will of tbe late Rev. J. G. Bulz, for 40 years pastor at Zelienople, was the shortest on record in Butler County. It reads: "After my death all my property belongs to my wife, Mrs. Eva Katherine Butz, and the executrix thereof.

Tbe expectation that John Nels Swan son, who reoeutly killed Charles Samuel son, of Chandler's Valley, Warren Coun ty, would be tried at tbe present term of court, ended Wednesday when it was an nounced by the attorneys they would not baye sufficient time to prepare tbe case.
