Railroad Taxes

The Southern Pacific Company'e
ak money arrived from San Fran
cisco Thursday morning. 1t con,
sisted of gold coin and amounted
to $24, 000.54. The full amount of
taxes levied amounted to $26, 907.94
of which the company refused to
pay $2,807.40 claiming that the
supervisors exceeded the authority
oflaw by fixing a rate of 81 for
county purposes, 4lcts school and
l0cts road fund, being 81 cents too
much, as the Revised Statutes
limits the amount for all county
purposes at 50. This matter will
probably be settled at the next
meeting of the District Court.
The railroad company also Re,
fused to pay the Tax Collectors
commission and said: "The law
Of the Southern Pacific
company advises said company
that it is not holden for the fees or
commission of the Tax Collector;
but that said fees or commission to
which he is entitled by law should
come from the moneys collected by
him"

A st. Louis Mining Company
has taken hold of the placer claims
owned by B. Graz and associates
at Pot Hole and will ground sluice
the mines. The company also pro-
poses to prospect the sand of the
river at that point for gold. The
plant consists ofone centrifugal and
two large Worthington pumps. The
machinery was shipped down the
river on q stout scow from the Need
les which many thought when be-
ing built, was to be used as a steam
boat. The gentlemen representing
the company are sanguine of meet
ing with success in their enterprise,
and as there is plenty gold in the
Pot Hole country there seems to be
good reason to believe their ex
pectations will be fully realized.

ANOTHER DECISION.

Another of the cases argued at the Feb
ruary term of the supreme court has
been heard from. 1t is that of School
District No. of Weybridge and - of
Bldport VS.. Town of Bridport. The
Judgment of the county court is reversed
and judgment is given for the defendant
to recover its costs.
The action was brought by the district
to recover its share of the public money
of the town of Bridport DIVIDED in July,
1889. The principal defense of the town
was that the district had been dissolved,
and this question-whethe the district
was dissolved in 1888 or still exists as a
district-was really the practical thing
at issue. 1t was agreed by the parties
that if the district had an existence
and was entitled to any of the
Bridport public money of 1889, it was
entitled to 81 go. After hearing at the
December term, the county court rem
dered Judgment for the district for that
amount and its costs. The opinion of
the supreme court has not been promu-
gated as yet, so that what it will decide
as to the existence or non-eXistence of
the district is not known. Messrs. Bliss
& Royce were the districts lawyers and
Messrs. Stewart & Wilds the towns.

THE BUSINESS TO START.

Mr.. Joseph j. Durham, the Boston
gentleman who has spent considerable
time and money on the Addison County
Marble company's quarry east of the
village during the past two years, has
succeeded in forming IA company to pur-
chase and work it and operations will
begin very soon. A lime kiln will be at
once erected and an experiment made in
converting the refuse marble into lime.
If it succeeds, as Mr.. Durham Is conf
dent it will, six more kilns will be built.
1t is understood that heavy Chicago cap
italists are interested in the venture and
that there is good market in that city
for all the first-class lime the works can
produce. The plan is to operate the
quarry for the sake of the marble and t Q
use what of the stone is not fit for blocks
for lime. In this way it is believed a
large and profitable business may be
done.

TO THE FARMERS OF VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to my know
ledge that you occasionally make com
plants because of the small sums re-
ceived for your dairy skins. The fault
j. your own, for if you would take them
off and properly care for them you would
rarely find skin that would bring you
less than 80 cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 60. 20 and even
50 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are poor
property and bring poor price. 1t will
cost you only penny for postal card
on which to send me your address, to
secure full printed directions AS to the
proper method of taking of and caring
for your calf skins. | will very gladly
mail these to you free, postpaid, if you
will send me your name and so request.
In most of the towns of Vermont
have buyers, but in localities where
have none | would suggest that half
dozen farmers club together and ship
their skins in quantities of % or more, in
which case will pay all freights after
delivery at II. II. depot ! cannot allow
you wholesale prices in towns where
have buyer, but where have none
will gladly arrange with any reliable
farmer who is willing to attend to the
matter of collecting skins taken off in
his vicinity, and in such case will of
course allow the buyers commission.
