ACCORDING to a recent bulletin of the 
government forestry service, the 130,- 
000 acres of forests on George Vander- 
bilt’s estate at Biltmore are ‘* made 
profttable.’? The profit comes from the 
material cut every year. ‘This, the bul- 
letin states, consists of 4,000,000 feet 
of lumber, 5,000 cords of tannic acid 
wood and fuel, 1,000 cords of tan-bark 
and several hundred curds of wood pulp. 
Vanderbilt’s experiment in private for- 
estry is remarkable both on account of 
its extent and the variety and scope of 
the work done. 
In connection with all logging oper- 
ations permanent logging roads are con- 
structed. These roads the 
present cost of getting out the product 
and will greatly reduce the cost of mar- 
keting crops in the future. The roads 
also make good frre lanes and afford pro- 
tection for the young trees which are 
planted wherever there is suitable pro- 
tection against fire Workmen em- 
ployed in the forest and in the fields 
along the forest boundaries do duty as 
fire guards. The experimental work in 
minimize 
silviculture done at Biltmore is certain 
to stimulate interest in scientific forestry 
as applied to private domains. 
IN connection with the institution of 
city delivery in Manchester, it might be 
well for the prospective mail carriers to 
remember that they need not deliver let- 
ters at houses where vicious dogs are 
kept. folk

Automobile Fire Engine Latest Addi- 
tion to Fire Equipment of South 
Shore Town. 
Manchester residents who are inter- 
ested in the further improvement of our 
fire department, some of whom are tak- 
ing to the suggestion in the- Breeze last 
spring that the town purchase an auto- 
mobile fire truck, so as to be in a posi- 
tion to safe-guard the farthermost limits 
of the town in better time than can now 
be accomplished under the best of con- 
ditions with horses, may be interested to 
read the following despatch ina Boston 
paper last Sunday: 
‘““ The Hull fire department is becom- 
ing one of the best equipped in the state. 
Owing to the rapid growth of the town 
this has become necessary. The as- 
sessed valuation of the town is nearly 
$6,000,000, a large percent of which is 
on dwelling houses.

A few years ago a steam fire engine 
costing $5500 was stationed at Wave- 
land, and it is considered indispensable. 
At Waveland also there is an extension 
ladder company, while at Hull village 
and Atlantic hill there are well-equipped 
hook and ladder and hose-companies.

Feeling the need of more up-to-date 
fire apparatus, the town last spring ap-

propriated $8000 for an automobile fire 
engine that could make a quick run to 
any part of the town and climb its many 
hills, a difficulty that had not been over- 
come by the steam engine drawn by 
horses. 
‘S A few days ago the new engine ar- 
rived at Atlantic hill where a special 
station had been built forit. It is the 
only one of the kind in this part of the 
state. It will carrv14 men and attain a 
speed of 60 miles an hour. In a pre- 
liminary speed trial a few days ago it 
smoothly made 50 miles an hour, climb- 
ing hills easily. 
““Tt is equipped with almost every kind 
of apparatus used by a fire department: 
It carries 1000 feet of hose, several lad- 
ders and two chemical tanks. It pumps 
700 gallons of water a minute. 
‘*On actual demonstration, starting 
with the horse-driven engine, over a 
road a distance of one mile, the auto- 
mobile engine was pumping water be tore 
the other arrived at the destination. The 
driving engine of the automobile is used 
topump water at fires. The machine 
was built by a Buffalo motor car com- 
pany.’’ 
Registered Letter Will Cost More. 
It will cost 10 cents extra to register a 
letter after November 1. Preparations 
are being made at Washington to make 
a 12-cent stamp which will soon be 
issued. The local postofice has re. 
ceived notification of the change 
Hitherto, register stamps cost eight 
cents. However, the postofice de- 
partment faces such a Jarge deficit that 
something had to be done, in the opinion 
of Postmaster General Hitchcock. On 
account of the great amount of ‘‘red 
tape’’ about registered letters, the price 
was raised two cents. Everybody who 
handles the registered letter or package 
must give a receipt for it, which involves 
considerable time and labor, which the 
department think is worth 10 cents. 
Eighty-Four Years of Age. 
Enjoying good health and having her 
children, grand-children and 
grandson around, to make the day pass 
pleasantly, Mrs. Elizabeth Tappan, 
passed her 84th birthday on Tuesday of 
this week at the home of her daughter, 
Mrs. Levi A. Dunn, Central street, 
Manchester. Though no formal ob- 
servance was made of the day, a number 
of friends and neighbors called to extend 
their congratulations, besides the mem- 
bers of her own family. The youngest 
person present was the little son of Rev. 
and Mrs. E. Hersey Brewster of Nor- 
wood,—a great-grandchild.
