Me., Doc. 2. -The Christ mas tree industry has obtained tin early start in Maine this year and al ready carloads and even vessel loads are going forward to the large cities. Only a few years ago the rir tree was looked upon as rather a nuisance in this state, because it grew as rank as burdock, crowding nut better growths and was of no earthly use, save as it might be considered an orna ment to the landscape. Now the rlr no longer despised. Is source of consid erable Income to hundreds of Maine's rural people and to the transportation companies as well. Last year fully l.rk.0i0 were sold.

General French With Eight Col umns Operating in Those Dis tricts But Boers Escape. NKW YOF.K. Pec. 2 The corre spondent of the London Times and New York Times at Pretoria says then' are iMrttvn liner commandos, with a total force of i:., men In the western districts nf Cape Colony, w here the configuration of the country, the scarcity of water and the distance from the railways make the capture of the burghers difficult. The:-" are seven commandos in Cal vinia district, two In South Sutherland, three in Northeast Piuuetberg. and one in Clan William. General French is operating with eight columns in the south and east of these districts but there is nothing to prevent the Boers escapiio- north, where they cannot be followed indefinitely. Once the lino from P.eattfort West to Chin Will iam is secured with blockhouses, says the correspondent, the fugitive com mandos can be dealt with In detail at leisure. The distance from Iteaufort West to Clan William, 6ii miles gives a small idea of the difficulties of this task. WASHINGTON.
