military and civic organizations to an
extent never before witnessed in this
state. The scene in the vicinity OF
the triumphal arch and at the review
stand was especially fine. A grand
display of fireworks closed the days
celebrat ton. Palestine Commanderv,
Knights Templar and the Guards of
St. Johnsbury made an excellent APP

by prolonged applause.

The date chosen was neither the an
niversarv of Vermont's statehood
nor that of the battle which the m on
ument mem orizes, but the two occa-
sions were combined as well as posi-
BILE. The age Of the state dates from
the 4th of March, 1871, and the bat
tie was fought on the 10th day of
August, TIT. The anniversary of
the battle occurring on Sunday of this
year, was the reason for postponing
the dedicatio of the monument and
the celebration to Wednesday, August
10. The exercises of the day passed
off in a highly creditable manner and
thousands of people were present.
We are only able to give brief ac-
count of the exercises in to-day's pa
per; next week a more complete &C
count will be given. The CALEDoNI-
AN presents its readers this week with
an illustrated supplement giving
much interesting history in connec-
ton with the affair. This is a good
time to study the history of this state
and to reflect upon the glorious labors
of our ancestors.

A NE w FEATURE.

Realizing the value of suitable
agricultural reading in paper whose
circulation is so extensive among the
farmers as the CALIFORNIAN, the pub
fishers have secured the services of
an agricultural editor who will con-
tribute weekly hereafter to these
columns Much Of this matter will
be taken from theleading agricultural
papers of the country, but it is hoped
that the farmers will also take up
the pen and contribute to this depart
ment. Questions, suggestions or
observations on any agricultural
topics are solicited. Any such con-
tributions may be addressed to the
agricultural editor of the CALEDo-
MAN.

DON'T HURRY, GENTLEMEN.

The suggestion has emanated from
several quarters of the state that the
special session of the Legislature
ought not to last over two days.
No one doubts but what $1SO,OOO
can be disposed of in that time, but the
question naturally arises will such a
quick disposition of the public money
be a wise one, and are there not
other matters that need to be
brought up at this time. If when
the Legislature assemblies the whole
business can be done in a few hours
the CALIFORNIAN will be the last
paper in the state to complain, but
if matters of pressing Importance
come up for decision we hope they
will not be railroaded through in As
hours. The evils of rapid legislation
are not easily remedied. What's
worth doing at all is worth doing
we'll

FISH AND GAME LEAG UE.

A special meeting of the Vermont
fish and game league was held last
week at Rutland. Reports were
made, several new members were re-
ceived and Burlington was chosen as
the place of the next annual meeting
in November. ]. ". Titcomb, secre-
tary, has answered about 5OOletters
of inquiry from league men through
out the state and has sent out cloth
posters to advertise the six inch fish
law. Fish wardens have been ap-
pointed in 81 towns. There is now
an average of one warden for four
towns The annual dues have been
reduced from FIVE to three dollars,
but the membership fee is the same,
So. The league has now 100 mem
beers including one life member, Dr.
w Seward Webb The league will
soon issue a copy of the fish and
game laws of the state in pamphlet
form. This association is doing
much to preserve our fish and game
and we are glad TO note that they
are in such a prosperous condition.

A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST.

1t is now an assured fact that the
wheat crop of 1891 will be the largest
ever gathered in this country. The
crop of spring and winter wheat is
estimated from $50, 100000 to 7OO,-
100000 bushels. The largest crop
the United States ever raised before
was 512, 100000 bushels. With this
joyful news word comes from across
the water that the European grain
crop is failure. The Russian wheat
crop is so near failure that the gov
eminent has issued an edict forbid
ding the expectation Of rye. This is
not because of Russia's hostility to
Germany, as the Berlin press init
mate, but is a measure of self-preser-
walton. The Austrian wheat crop
will be 80 per cent. less than last year,
the German crop 10 per cent, and
France also reports a shortage. All
Europe is turning to this country for
wheat and probably the United States
will export 100000, 700 bushels. The
movement Of grain has already be-
gun and the Western railroads can
not supply cars enough nor have the
Western cities elevators enough to
handle this phenomenal crop.
The failure Of the European crop
has forced up the price of wheat to a
high figure and the excitement at the
grain exchanges has run very high.
Within 10 days the price of wheat
has advanced p cents bushel and
Tuesday options on December wheat
sold for $1.1S a bushel in the Chica-
go wheat pit. If the price of wheat
keeps up to such figures, as many be-
lieve it will, Western farmers will re-
alize about dollar a bushel on their
wheat crop. A few weeks ago the
Farmers Alliance issued secret cir
cular, advising the farmers to hold
their wheat until fall as the price
would be higher then. The rise has
already come and the sensible farm
ers are selling their wheat and max
ing money, too. The Farmers Ali
ance circular was poor fnanciering
as well as poor politics.
The high price of wheat of course
affects the flour market and flour has
advanced so cents a barrel and is IL
able to go higher.
Besides big wheat crop there will
be one of the largest crops of corn
ever known in the United States.
The whole country will feel the bene-
fit of these bountiful harvests and an
era of prosperity is before us

A Chance for Inventors.

A well known railroad man declares that
one of the most useful inventions that can
be thought of in connection with operative
railroading is one that will automatically
take the rear breakman by the nape ol
the neck, and shoot him back from the
train sufficient distance to protect 1t,
when, for any reason, an unusal stop Is
made. He declares, as a result of consid-
able experience with genus brakeman, that
nothing short of this will suffice to make
1t at all sure that trains will be protected
under such circumstances, because nothing
short of some such device can compel
brakemen to 90 back a proper distance
with the flag or antern.-Industrial
