The passage of this bill will medn, within five years, an investment by the government of $11,000,000 fn the purchase of forest areas to be under the control of the department of agri- re, It will also mean co-opera- tion between the national and state governments for protection ~against forest fires.

I consider it i what we most need, and will add more to the universal comfo: as well as to land value along Wash- street than anything else can ) do. We need the trolley and ought to have it. Why mot let this company build it, and so lend our help toward establishing another great highway to Hartford, our capital city. This line may later prove to be an important link in the mighty chain that shall bind ali our New England cities and towns together in one great commer- clal brotherhood for mutual good. WILBUR §. ALLING, 124 Washingten atreet. Miami, Fla, Feb. 13, 1911 Winter Weather at Lockport, N. Y. Mr. Editor: We have now been in | TLiockport sixty-one days and on thirty- | three daye there has been some storm, on twenty days there :has been snow ana thirteen rain, Most of the storms hava been light, but twice from six to eight inches of snow fell. Most of the time when there was no storm it has been cloudy, and of real bright sun- shiny days but few. The weather has been hild here; there has been no morning with mercury at zero, but in the lower parts of the city twice zero and little below has been recorded. We are almost twelye miles from Lake Ontarfo and Lake Hrie is twenty-five | miles west. These great lakes keep the temperature quite uniform and | probably cause a good deal of the! cloudy weather and light storms. Most | of the winds are from the west and there is but little frost in the ground. This is @ pretty city, especially in | summer it must be. There are po hills | Lut the land is rolling and gives good | irainage. 1 have not seen a hill as | high s Jail Hill in this part of the state. The streets are straight and the | main streets wide, and the cross streets | usually cross the main at right angles | On all but the center of the city the streets have a row of maple trees on | cach side, and some of the wider ones have a double row. Nine-tenths of the trees are maple. The sidewalks are | from three to ten feet back from the | curbing and the trees set in the mar- %in between the walk and curb. Where there are two rows they are placed one, on'each side. Some of the streets have | the appearance of narrow parks. The | population is a little over seventeen thousand, It is the county seat, with a fine courthouss, and the county courts | are held here. The Ere canal, starting at the Niag- ara river, runs through the middle of the city. The stafe of New York is| spending over one hundred miilions of | dollars to widen and. deepen the canal and several millions will be spent here | and near here. The first locks are here a serles of five, with a_total fall of fifty | or more feet. Thase locks have to be removed and two large ones built in | thefr place. From here for several| miles west the canal Is through solid rock, and in places, especially wher= the iocks afe to be, the rock has to be | blasted to a depth of twenty-five feet There are steam shovels in use nearly s powerful as those used on the Pan- | ama canal. Some of the blasts are so | heavy that ‘houses a mile away are| badly shaken. Most of the work has| to be done in tha winter. The canal| closes before hard freezing weather be- gins in the late fall and remains ciosed W the water drawn off, till almost May first. The work goes on se days in the week and twenty-four hours of the day, the workimen being divided into three shifts of cight hours each. We are on the border of the great fruit ‘belt which extends east from hera for seventy or more miles with a width | of over thirty miles. No good apples | aré seen in ‘the stores here that are | Erown about here. When the npples are gathered in the fall, if not shipped sway, they are put in cold storage | houses and kept at a temperaturo just above freezing point. There are fine largs storage houses in the city. Some | the best grades are worth five and a COMFORT FOR SORE HANDS AND FEET | nae donars a barrel. Most of the ap- DOCTORS ples in stores here are Oregon or Washington grown. These are nica looking fruit, but for flavor eastern grown are more than thelr equal. These apples sell for five cents aplece or sixty ocents a peck. 3. 0. L. CAPITOL CHATTER. Sidelights on Legi Legislation.
