CUR[ISTMAS TEEES. The Vermont Woods Stripped to Sup ply the Great Demanud. Montpelier Dispatch to New York World. The annual devastation of the for ests of Vermont to provide Christmas trees upon which Santa Claus may hang his gifts in city homes is now in progress and the yearly protest is being raised by those who .see danger to the State in the indiscriminate slatghter. It is estimated that the harvest this year will be even greater than last when 1,500,000, of young spruces, balsams, and hemlock were taken from-the woods. These trees running in height from two feet to fjfteen, are eut by mountain farmners and their children and are sold for 2 eents apiece to buyers from New York, Bos-. ton, Albany and other eit'es. The trees are hauled to the nearest road where the buyers inspect them and discard about- 60 per cent. This waste in the past ten years has amounted to nearly 5,000,000 , trees. Had these been allowed to grow ex perts employed by the State estimate tat their value would have reached into the millions. Despite these aston Ming fignres which were furnished to farmner a year ago, the entting ges on, and probably will1 continue util it is. no itmger profitable to gther the trees for miarket. One of the dangers whieh the state forestry commission fearrs is. a cur tamen of the water supply. When timber is cut from the mountains, small trees spring up to take their place and thus prevent the springs and brook "'feeders" from drying during the surnmer months. When this second growth, as the semima ture ,seedlings are called, is stripped from the soil, the sun dries out the ground and the valleys, as well as th- higher reaches are affected. AX, every biennial session of the Legislature in the past decade an ef fort has been made to regulate the destruction of small coniferous trees, but without avail, as the farmers who ogather them are in the majority. It has been equally useless to point. out the fact that they are cutting off their own noses. If the trees were allowed to mature the crop would be of great value, as paper maker are keen to ob tian pulp wood on this side of the Canadian line. The farmers would rather receive a pittance now than wait twenty years for bigger returns. They point out that the trees are their own and that they will cut them when they please. When the crop is harvested it is drawn to the nearest railroad station, where the trees are loaded upon cars and transported to the wholesale deal ers in cities. When they finally get to the retailers and are put on the market the public pays an average of $1 a tree. There are hundred of these cars now on the sidings all over Ver mont, waiting to be moved. LETTER THAT NEVER CAME. "To Hell With the Law, . Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C." Not Delivered. Washington Cor. State. "To Hell With the Law, Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C." This is the way an old Uniontsoldier addressed a letter at Lafayette, Ind., a few days ago and posted it in the mail box, intending that it should be delivered to Senator Benjamin R. Tillman. The old soldier's name is James F. Campbell of the old sol diers' home. He was incensed at the speech Senator Tillman made at Chi ago. He wrote a scorching letter to South Carolina's -rip-roaring senator and calculated that he would blunt some of the prongs on the pitchf.ork. But the letter so far has not been delivered'and will not. be. Soon after Campbell posted his let ter -he told' some of the authorities about it and they made him take i.m mediate steps to prevent its delivery. The postal officials here have beemi looking for it everywhere, but they have not found it. Inquiry was made at the dead letter office, but it has not turned up there. It is thought by some to be in the hands of' the su perintendent of mails, but others are of the opinion that some clerk espied the unusuals address and the letter never left the State of Indiana.
