The season ls destined to hand down
a dire chapter of min and destruction
by fire in the history of-Americau
lllmbering, it is certain. the forest fir-
'M of Maine of the early summer were
alarming in extent. Th y called forth
a vigorous demand for 1 otter protec-
tion, whether at the hands of the gov-
ernment or of private individuals. The
monster devastations of the northwest.
in the Fernie region la1cr, when the
loss of life and property was even
greater, made the need of that protec-.
tion more apparent Thu latest forest
fires are-in California in‘ the Calvaver-
as groves, where are the celebrated
big trees of that state, and. although
the financial and matelial loss there
cannot be as great as that at either of
the other two fires of1the summer,
still there will be a sentimental'loss
that will prove irrepai1able if these '
monster and ageless kings of all tree-
dom are lost to us.

Fawn color and green‘are one of the
fall's good color combinations. Black
is generally introducedi with them to

Tb‘extremely close sleeves on the

trimming.
Notwithstanding small hats will be

CARING FOR THE TREES.
Tree Warden Cornell Trying to Save
the Few 'Ihat Ars Loft.
Editor of The Sentinel:
In the issue of the Norwalk Hour.
September 3. appears an article head-
ed "Who Owns the Trees." and to
my mind it seems as if It was about
time this question was settled. As to
the trees In question. 1 have not been
consulted. neither have I consulted the
the town counsel, as the article states.
The statutes state that the tree war-
den shall have the care and supervis-
ion of all trees in the town, upon the
publis highways, except those In the
city parks, and of those he shall take
charge when requested to do so by the
park commissioners.
Home two or three years ago the
matter of the tree warden taking care
of city trees came up and the town
counsel gave it as his opinion that the
town could not pay for the work done
upon city trees. but in other towns the
city trees are taken care of by the
tree warden, and the cost comes out
of his appropriation.
The majority of the trees on West
avenue, from one end to the other,
sadly need attention, and many trees
upon other streets in both cities are
in the same bad condition, and would
get the attention they need, If it was
In my power to do so, and the amount
appropriated was large enough to do It.
In many cases flue trees are decaying
limbs are broken and hanging down,
and are lll danger of falling upoll the
heads of partners-by.
Some time this summer a repre-
sentative of u telegraph company cali-
ed upon me to look at some. trees that
he wanted to cut the. tops out of, to
make rooln for his wires and i found
that he. wanted to mutilate some of
of the finest tloes Ill West street. I
talked the matter over with (‘ommls
siouer Dulllop and he left the matter
in my charge. with the result that the
trees remain untouched.
The office of tree warden was creat-
ed so that each town would have some
one in authority to supervise and care
for the trees. and to insure some uni«
formity In the cutting and trimming of
them. and to prevent their needless
destruction and mutilation. Tile tree
wardens of Danbury, New London and
other towns having cities within their
Iilnits. care for the city trees as well
as those in the suburbs, and thereby
all conflict as to who has control of
them is avoided. l have In the past.
upon my own responsibility, refused to
permit the ruthless cutting and mutila-
tion of the trees in both cities and
town and shall continue to do so while
I am tree warden

LIME COMPANY TAKES APPEAL. from Bethe] to Hawleyville and vice-
_.._ versa. the same as it is now.
Bsthsi Concern Doesn't Like Killing
of Railroad Commission.
Because the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railr Company wants
to abandon the op tion of its branch
line extending from Hawleyvllle to
Bethel. and to transfer its trains,
freight and passengers, to and through
Dsnbury. OVer the Danbury branch in-
stead of along that section of what
used to be a part of the Bhepaug,
IAtchdeld and Northern xilroad, the
road has been summoned til the civ-
il Superior court. on an appeal taken
by the Bethel and Bedding Lime Com-
pany, from a decision of the railroad
commissioners allowing the road to
discontinue that line.
The railroad set out in its petition
to the railroad commissioners that it
desired to do away with. ltl grade
(rossings at highways which exist on
its short section of track extending
between Bethel and Hewleyvtlie. over
a part of what is now called the “Beth-
el Branch " It was proposed to do
away with those crossings by elimin-
ating the railroad and sendtns the
trains over the Danbury “such the
arrangements oping to the fare
/ . .
' conveniencing any one.
There are no places between the
tWo places named, the grades on the
road are stiff, and the curves very
shhrp, while over the Dnnbury branch
the roadbed is better and conditions
more conducive to successful railroad-
ing, from a pecuniary point of view.
That is what the railroad commis-
sioners found in their report, also de-
ciding that It is impracticable to elim-
inate the crossings by changing their
grade. and suggesting that the towns
would be unable and unwilling to bear
their share of the expense of such an
elimation, while the running of
trains to the bigger-city would conven-
ience many more people without in-
So the peti-
tion was granted.
But the Bethe] and Bedding Lime
Company objected to the discontinu-
ance of the railroad line. and doesn't
want the present plan of using it for
spur track carried out. it alleges that
the ruling is “improper. ine‘xpedient, ii-
legal and not in conformity with the
statutes in such cases provided." and
therefore appeals from the ruling of
the commissioners and asks a review
of the matter In the civil Superior
court, October session.
THE BRIDGE RESCUE MISSION.
Editor Sentinel:
We often wonder If the general pub
lic realize the quiet though effective
work this place is doing among the
people who come to it. Through this
hot weather, when we were told it was
useless to open it. forty-six men and
women expressed a desire to lead bet-
ter lives and at least eighteen of that
number are doing it. The meetings
are not usually very largely attended,
but few of them close that someone
does not express a desire to be better.
As the cold wsather draws near new
channels for helping our brothers who
are less fortunate than we, present
themselves, and we have In mind a
hospital for the sick (not. in body but
in soul). where if one really desires
to be healed we may the more eillc.
iently assist the Great Healer. We
need at least fifteen beds for this
purpose. and by sending 83 to our
treasurer, Dr. C. F. Boutwsil. It will
give you the Joy of feeling that while
