East Fork Items.

Friday evening, November 7th,
we had nice dance at Benson's
hall. The Triumph and North Star
boys all turned out and a jolly time
was had. Sixteen couples were
present, some Of whom were from
Ketchum. The Cramer boys and
Mr.. Edwards furnished the music,
which was fine, and the dancing
continued till three o'clock in the
morning.
East Fork in general is very live
~. There are about four camps
of wood choppers employed here
chopping for the North Star and
Triumph mines. Mr.. Deckard is
furnishing the Triumph and G. Ben
son and G. Stinson the North Star
with wood.
The Arctic and Ant Arctic COM
pany are working force of men on
their mines, which look we'll.
The Pride of Idaho mine is look
ing fine, and the owner is taking
out ore. The Courier mine is also
looking we'll and yielding ore.
The North Star mine and jigs
are running in full blast and the
mine looks we'll.
The Venus and Silver Crown
mines are being worked under leases
and tho lessees expect to strike 1t
any day.
Bud Humphrey is working on his
mine in Triumph gulch, and ex-
poets to strike the ledge in a few
feet. He is putting in car and
track at present.
The Triumph mine, by the way,
has a fine body of ore in the shaft
only about four feet below the sur
face, which was struck by cross,
cut, and the indications are that il
is the best mine on Wood river.
East Fork has bright future
and is improving all the time: and
[ predict we shall have the liveliest
camp on Wood River in the spring
Jas. Butch has carried the mail

The losses Of the insurance .compa-

the year 1889. They are said to ag-
gregate about s14, 100000. This ap-
pears to be terrible waste Of property
and one that ought to be checked. But
this does not cover all the losses by fire
as an immense amount of uninsured
property is consumed. We build care
lessly, we fail TO look after our build

PROFITABLE FARMS.

The Hill farm in Royalton of a.
bout 125 acres, which has been in the
possession of the Durham family over
100 years has been worked and owned

Twenty dollars was paid for fertili-
zers on corn crop and six dollars of
this was more damage than benefit to
the crop.
Mr.. Foster is so years of age and
his wife, who is younger, has the care
of three children and is a helpmeet in
deed. They have done the entire la
Dor on this farm, except help to the
amount of 500. Throughout the sea-

A Barnard reader renews his sub
scription and refers to published state
ment to the effect that some swindler is
trying to force charts upon our school
districts. We thank him for the sub
scription, and would say that we have
no sympathy with any school district
or school officers taken in by any cheap
chart swindle. There is no excuse for
ignorance of the law or the requirements
of school supervisors in these days of
general enlightenment. As to Princi-
pal Conant's new book which he sup
poses "wiii be forced upon us" we
have nothing to say. We are not a
ware that there is any scheme of the
kind to which he refers. Our pupils
ought to know something about the ge-
ography and history of Vermont and
we believe that it is required in our
schools. and we believe that we need
more suitable textbook than any that
we now have. IT Prin. Conant is pre-
pairing "a textbook on this subject, such
as it seems to us he is capable of pre-
pairing, it will need no s'force" to fix
it into use in our schools. Now, we
have some sympathy with our CORES
pondent in this matter of changing our
textbooks frequently, but some changes
are certainly advisable. We are firm
ly persuaded that these matters after a
careful deliberation can be safely left
to the Judgment Of the people.

BRAVE MEN REMEMBERED.

We clip the following item Of inter-
est to our people from the Manchester,
N. II. Daily Union, Dec. %, 'S9.
Henry w. Tewksbury of West Ran
dolph, VT, formerly well known and
highly esteemed citizen of Manchester,
took occasion last evening to present to
the two men who rescued him from
what, but for their efforts, would have
been certain death as elegant gold
watch, chain and charm to each as
money can buy. The inscription reads :
presented to Chas. H. Pierce in rec
ognition of heroic action in rescuing
the giver, Henry w. Tewksbury, at
the Hartford bridge railroad disaster,
Feb. 5, 1887" On the watch given
Frank III. Thresher the inscription was
identically the same, with the exception
of the name.
These men were the engineer and
fremen on the ill-starred train, both
escaping in safety, but the shock to
their nervous system was something
from which they did not recover for &
long time. They tried twice to rescue
Mr.. Tewksbury and failed, but return
ing to him a third time their efforts
met with success, although Mr.
Tewksbury has since been a cripple
He has never forgotten the men who
rescued him and this recognition of th'
deed performed by them is handsom'
tribute from his grateful heart.
Charles Pierce, aged 43, an oil,
Central Vt. engineer residing at White
River Junction died the evening o
Jan 2 of inflammation of the bowels
He was engineer of the train wrecke,
at Hartford bridge three years ago
and those scenes so undermined hi
health that he resigned his position
and entered the furniture business. III,
was member of the United Brethren
lodge of Free Masons. also of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men. He leaves
a widow.

leap forward as during the year 1889.
Says Bradstreet's in reviewing the busi-
ness history of the year just closed
Additional investments have been
made freely in marble properties in
Vermont during the past year. Both
home and outside capitalists have put
in new money. The granite quarries
of the State are likewise receiving more
attention from investors. Vermont has
also a new industry of considerable inn
portance in the development of man
ganese ore beds in South Wallingford,
Brandon and Rutland by Carnegie
Bros. Of Pittsburg. Carnegie Bros.
last summer purchased mining rights
in the lands containing extensive man
ganese ore beds in both Wallingford
and Brandon, since which time large
amount of ore has been mined. Works
for washing the ore have been erected
at both places and some 100 men are
employed in mining and washing the
product OF these mines, which amounts
to about 250 tons of washed ore daily.
The Brandon mining property con-
sists Of 12S acres of land and is located
within two miles of the village. Some
63 men are employed here and four
shafts are in operation. The manga
nese deposit was struck 81 feet below
the surface, and shafts have been sunk
80 feet without penetrating through the
bed of ore. The Brandon ore Yields
% per cent pure manganese and some
specimens have been produced yielding
80 per cent. The washed ore is ship !
ped to Pittsburg, where it is used in
the production of steel rails. New
Hampshire, unlike Vermont, reports a
decline in the granite business. the sales |
of the past year not having been equal
to those Of 1888.
