Speaking ot Mn. Proctor. Mrs. Attorney
General Miller has been spending month
. Secretary Proctor's home IN the Green
mountains She Is enthusiastic - to the
Deautles Of the place. and she says that
secretary Proctor has near him some of
ne most vaiuable marble qusrries in the
country. He Is stu largely interested in
tnese works, and he was formerly presi-
dent Of them. One Of his sons is now the
manager. There are 5000 names on the
pay roll Of Secretary Proctor's marble COM
pany. and The village OF Proctor Is made
up almost entirely Of the employees Of his
Work. He owns 500 houses In this town,
and he rents these to his workmen at 81
Per month apdscs. These houses are bsau-
uiul little two-story cottages, and the sec
rotary sees that they are kept in good con-
dition. and be gives his men more comfort
than they could get elsewhere Ct such
prices.
