OF BLANK BALLOTS TWO About 3,000 of Thom Cast at Election in Greater Now York. ,At 00 Each a recent election New York county 3,100 citlxens of and 1.200 voters In the other counties of the Greater New York cast blank ballots, says the Sun. There are usually about 3,000 blank ballots cast. It may seem peculiar that several thousand citlxens each year ahould take the trouble to appear at the places of registry to answer the questions necessary for the enrollment of their names, to attend the polling place on election day and all for the apparent purpose of casting a blank vote, counting for neither party nor for any candidate, when precisely the same result could be attained by remaining away from the polls for registeratlon or voting.

The Christmas tree Industry Is now at lta height In Maine, many carloads being prepared for shipment to the large cities. The total output of trees for Maine this year, however, will not exceed half a million, as compared with a million and more in past seasons Fashion in Christmas trees appear to change like everything else' and It is due to this change that the total output of the fire is to be much smaller during the coming holiday season than in former years In spite of good times the jobbers in Boston, New York and other cities supplied by the Maine market have sent orders to the pineries for larger trees and fewer of them. They declare there Is no longer any demand for what was called childrens trees, which are from five to eight feet tall. The Increase in social and religious organisations In the cities and villages has transferred the Christmas festivities from the family parlors to lodge rooms and churches, so that the number of presents which will be distributed this year Is larger than ever before, the management has been taken from the hands of Individual parents and guardians and placed under the control of the Sunday schools and benevolent associations, making an Increased demand for big trees, frow twelve to twenty feet tall. Notwithstanding the decreased number of trees that will be shipped this year the industry undoubtedly will continue to pour thousands of dollars Into the pockets of the Maine farmers and woodmen. Men, women and children often work together In gathering the Christmas tree harvest, and in some localities the cutting of the greens la made the occasion of a genaa at husking and eral other farm festivals The trees are bundled up, according to size, In lota of six or a doxen, conveyed on hayracks to the railroad station, and there either sold to traveling buyers or shipped direct to Boston or New York. The formers get about 5 cents each for the smaller trees, and from 10 to 25 cents for the larger ones In 0 all, Maine people realise about Christof their ,a year from crop mas greens MADE was eo good that it ia ovar hold bofore tho oyoo of all modern housewives as tho highest achievement possible in breadBut if those great making. of a cooks and cantury ago had the flour of tho present day, they would undoubtedly have oven excelled their own unbeaten offorta.

For one posed Strawberry valley reservoir pro- thing, it has been the Intention of the ject and securing valuable Held notes Utah Fuel company to build 1,000 coke on said survey. Under the appropriation made by the last legislature the ovens at Sunnyslde to take care of the board Is authorised to expend $3,000 output there but various obstacles upon two reservoir projects In the state, bpt la not authorised to expend more than $1,500 on any one project. The Strawberry valley site was chosen by the lmard as a suitable one for one of the reservoirs and $1,500 wns appropriated for the preliminary investigations and surveys. The work has already cost $300 more than the appropriation and It Is estimated that It will cost an additional $200 to complete the survey and secure the necessary notes. This would make a total of $500 more than the appropriation. So the question which now confronts the board Is where to get that money. It waa contended at the meeting which was held InSalt Lake yesterday that the amount could be taken out of the for the other reservoir project, as It had not all been exhausted. The majority of the board, however, was of the opinion that the law would not permit of that being done and it was suggested that the money be taken from the contingent expense fund of several of the state departments It waa contended that the work ahould be completed and the public given the benefit of the Investigation, and that the legislature would probably Justify the board In using the contingent funde to meet the additional expenses The matter was Anally referred to the attorney general for an opinion as to whether or not the board could use any part of the $1,500 for the other reservoir In this project. 3, CHRISTMAS TREES OF THE COAL STRIAE SURVEYS FOR THE STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR.
