ssTy GNtE TROUBLES ON LAX "
Cx1ANPAAHN.

A correspondent of the Whitehall Times
complains that lumbcmcn on Lake Cham
plain are subjected to much trouble and in
convenience by system of arrests without
cause. and dragging to different parts of
the country by officials who design to
force lucrative compromises. The tempta-
tions to injustice on the part of informcrs
and certain customs officials are certainly
very strong. OF money paid as penalties
in consequence of breach of the customs
laws, 0ne-half goes to the United States,
one-fourth to the informer, and onc-fourth
to three local federal officers.
The statement of the correspondent is
that all the lumber imported for several
years past BY regular dealers on Lake
Champain has been on Il basis fixed by
United States consus in Canada collectors
of customs at Pittsburgh and Burlington
and several appraisers from Whitehall. 1t
is not safe to assume when you have heard
one side, that you know all the other side
has to say but if the basis has been fixed
as above stated, and there has been nothing
to require new basis, il ought to he con-
sidcred properly settled.
The lumbermen are sorry Phelps, Dodge
& Co. did not stand trial. But they could
not afford to do So Upon their own adj
missions, they were technically liable to
pay the government million dollars.
They might well apprehcnd that the judge
would so instruct the jury as to leave no
alternative but to render verdict for that
amount. Phelps, Dodge & Co. may have
got off very well, and doubtless thought so
themselves, when they had only $271 900
to pay, while contending that upon in
voices amounting to Il million dollars, and
running through five years, the govern
mcnt had lost through the firm not more
than $4,000.
Phelps Dodge 81 Co. assert that the law
under which their importations were made
was obscure that this led them to over
value some things and under-valuc others,
preserving a fair average, so as not to
wrong the governments that a dishonest
clerk, designing 10 DccOmc All lillOllllcr,
destroyed the invoices showing ovcr-valua-
lions, and preserved those in which the ar
ticlcs were undcr-valued. Under this pc
cuiar state of circumstances it is not to be
perceived how the Champlain lumbcrmen
could have been benefited by Phelps,
Dodge 81 Co.. standing suit, as the same
circumstances could not be repeated in
their case.
We shall probably hear the other side
after awhile, if the cases complained of are
important. 1t is at least to be said in favor
of the law that its tcrrors render importers
very particular not to cheat the govern
ment For only appearing to do so, as
Phelps, Dodge IL Co. have claimed, they
are afflicted with the misery of enrching
their confidential clerk to the extent of
$4,000 for keeping his damaging eye on

Bellows Falls.

A review of the history of Bellows Falls
for the past two years furnishes conclusive
evidence, that it will in due time become
one of the substantial business towns in
Vermont, and cxcelled by few in New
England. Her almost unlimited water
power, which the canal company has made
available. and her railroad facilities for the
transportation of freight to and from the
four points of the compass, have decided
capitalists to invest in manufacturing at
this point.
In taking a stroll along the long acqua-
duct, we find the power now used to be ap-
piled most for the manufacturing of paper
On turning down from the canal bridge we
first meet with the new paper mill erected
! by the Fall Mountain Company, IA large
substantial brick building, containing
twelve engines, one Fourdrinier machine
"a inch, and one double cylinder, 60 inch,
running on MANILA paper, producing four
tons of paper daily. The next we come to
is the Rockingham Paper Company, en-
gines, double 62 inch cylinder, % feet
| bleachcr - brick mill - making MANILA
paper
The next in order is Moore & Shpley's
large wooden building, finely arranged
running extensively on tissue paper.
Then we come to the Bellows Falls
Paper Company-brick manufacture
ing wood pulp and card middles.
The next is Robinson, Moore IL Co. S
large brick mill manufacturing tissue
paper.
Next we find VIM. Russell Il Sons pulp
mill, making wood pulp exclusively.
All these mills have been built and start
ed within the past two years, and the larg-
est part during the past year. They alto
gether make about IA tons of paper daily,
employing two sets of hands and running
"a hours.
In addition to these Messrs. Osgood and
Barker have fine machine shop and foun-
dry, and at the extreme end of the acque-
duct is large manufacturing building
rented for various purposes rs plan
ing mill and box factory Bellows Falls
Chair Company, towel rack, clothespn
and fancy mouldings, sash, doors md
blind, etc.
All these are nicely arranged along the
acqueduct, and still not one quarter of the
power is taken up. The water is inexhaus-
table, having the whole water of the Con-
necticut river under control, if needed, by
a substantial dam.
On the business square we find the ma
tural result of that which we have seen-a
stirring business town, new stores and
shops, and, in process of building new
hotel by one of Bellows Falls cnterprising
citizens, Charles Townc. 1t is to be COM
pleted, ready for guests, the first of July
next-and when completed no finer build
ing can be found for its purpose in that
part, or perhaps in the State.
Incident to all these we find, on going up
higher, where the majority of them being
citizens live, that some 80 new dwellings
have been erected the past year, old resi-
dences have been rcmodeled, and grounds
have been beantified. The coming season
bid fair to equal the past in improve
ments.
The new hotel, we learn, is to be kept
by the well known host of the Island
House in former years, Mr.. Howe. The
Island House docs not suffer by the change,

While we shall at all times cndcayor to
Transporting in our country and to degree

JOURNALISM IN New IoRK-Thc New
York E'rpress, in a review of its own his
tory on the occasion of moving into the
new handsome building recently erected
for it, gives the following interesting fact
in connection with journalism in that city:
But one of the old daily proprietors pre-
vious to 1896 survive, and Mr.. Greeley, who
started the Ttibuae in 1S42, and Mr.. Ray
mond the Times in 1851, each leading jour
nalists, have followed in the meridian of
life, the former dying in 1872, and the lat
ter in 1869. In less than twenty years one
hundred and nine daily journalists have
had an existence in this city and one hun
dred of the number are dead, at loss of
over $25, 000,0 900. The expenses of publ
cation have increased more than six-fold in
twenty years, and are every day increasing
The competition is now sharper than ever,
and, though daily papers are not more nu-
merous than they have been, every year
adds to the Geographic, news, type setting
and other expenses. In July of this year
the system of free exchanges will be abol-
ished, adding another expense in procuring
Federal, State, local and other intelligence.
But as in the past, so in the future, the
Woodworking, pains-taking, wel-capital-
lied journals will live, and others die No
business is more hazardous than journal
ism, and none more unlike what it was in
the days of the Dwights, Townsends,
Langs, Walkers, Kings, Noahs, Webbs,
| llallccks, Colonel Stones and their associ-
ates. If fortunes are made, so they arc
lost, in the venture of an attractive, though
most laborious service.
