THE "OPPRESSED" FARMER.

The farmers of the country are
now the favored class, and all 9th
ers are crying out against their
high prices. We hear now only
of farmers exorbitant prices, and
no longer are "McKinley prices
heard in the land except when
men praise them in the gates.
For sugar is down to five cents a
pound, and iron and steel, cottons
and woolens and all other factory
products are cheaper than when
the Mckinley bill became law.
But where are the prices of the
products of the oppressed farmers?
Away up, averaging perhaps fifty
per cent. of an advance upon the
prices of last year. Wheat and
corn, oats and barley, and all kinds
of meats now bring the highest
prices they have brought for years
and the "oppressed" farmer is now
having a good time at other peo-
ple's sore cost. We congratulate
him on his changed condition.
Pretty soon he will begin to spend
his money, and then all the
wheels of industry will so round
and round, and the poor people
who work hard in rolling mills and
steel works, in mines and quarries
and in factories and workshops
will be steadily employed, even if
they must continue to pay big
prices for bread and meat to the
Western members of the Farmers
Alliance. In more senses than
one the farmers "feedeth alp

vERMoNT's CENTENNIAL,

One hundred years, with our arrival at
the present period, marks the age of the
State of Vermont, also the beginning of
the expansion of the thirteen original
colonies. These years are not many,
when compared with the multiplied CEN
turtles of most countries of the old world,
but enough, considering the history of
the State and its great progress, to be
worth celebrating. We are now where
countries of thousands of years efforts
have failed to reach, in pleasant homes,
abundant privileges, good government
and everything worth living for. Yer
mont has not only sustained and main
tanned her position with the sisterhood
of states in the line of march toward all
that is desirable, but it has given freely
to build up the rest of the country. Her
influence. through her sons, has been po-
tent in matters of state and business, in
peace or in war, from one end of the
Union to the other While the State may
not boast of her size, she may easily con-
graduate herself on the size of her chill
dren, who have made their way to the
front in every department of life.
To Vermont was given noble birth, and
through her first one hundred years has
lived an upright life, free from the faint
of scandal, reputation or reproach. She
has ever chosen the right way, and now,
looking backward, has nothing to be re-
gretful for. She has been stalwart in her
stand for freedom and right, in her pa
triotism, and in her loyalty to the gener-
al government to which she made her
earliest vow. Her honor has been above
price, and she has never given birth to
enemies or conspirators against the
Union. From Bennington to the pres
ent day, her position has never been
equivocal on any matter touching her fl
deity, and she has been willing, when
ever occasion called, to face the crisis
unflinchingly, and in a manly and cour-
ageous way.
The celebration of century of history
of this character is not an insignificant
matter. 1t is an occasion in which every
son and daughter of the State should
take lively interest. BY observing it
we honor the memory of the fathers and
mothers who founded the State and made
it possible for Vermont to become what
it ia. Good deeds should not be forgot
ten, and in their conmemoFation comes
the best security for the future. This
may be sentiment, but it is the sentiment
that was the force in founding the State,
and the real power that must sustain it
hereafter. The Legislature in providing
for Vermonts Centennial celebration at
Bennington, August 10Th, did the proper
thing, and the committee of State Off
Gals entrusted with the work of carry
ing out the details, are to be congratu-
lated on having arisen to the Importance
of the occasion. 1t is to be no pioayune
affair, but will go down in history as the
grandest event that has ever occurred in
Vermont since her birth-St. Adams
Messenger.

FREE DELIVERY IN LUDLOW.
How the Experiment Worked In the Yer
mOnt Town Selected.


LUDLOW, Aug. THE experimental
free delivery system has been tried here
for a month, and Postmaster Howe has
just figured up the results to send to
Washington.
Ludlow was one of the small towns Sc
lected by the Post Office Department in
which to make trial of the free deliv-
cry system. 1t is the summer home of
Judge Hines of Indianapolis, the former
law partner of President Harrison, but
this fact is not supposed to have cut any
figure in its selection. There are towns
in the State that are more compact, and
some that with not much bigger popula-
ton have larger mail, but the choice fell
upon Ludlow.
The free delivery system took effect on
July l, with an appropriation of 1912
Seven boxes were received from Boston
and were set up through the town at
points selected by the postmaster. There
was a little delay in the arrival of the
boxes, so they have not been up quite a
full month. The delivery started on the
LIST. There is one carrier, an ex-soldier,
and as the salary is not big enough to
warrant the purchase of a uniform, he
makes his rounds in whatever garb suits
his convenience and the weather.
The carrier makes two collections and
one delivery each week day. The deliv-
cry is in the afternoon. The carrier
starts out at 1.30, and covers the village
limits. 1t usually takes about three
hours to make the rounds.
The result of the first months work
foots up 1855 pieces collected and 1897
pieces delivered.
Some people have given up their boxes
at the postofice, but not many. Most
people retain their boxes and call at the
Office for their mail in the morning and
evening, and expect the carrier to deliv-
er it in the afternoon. This makes some
confusion. The carriers work is best
appreciated by the people who live on
the outskirts of the town.
The chief difficulty, in Postmaster
Howe's opinion, in the way of the free
delivery system reaching popularity in
small towns is the popular custom of
gathering nightly at the postoffice for the
exchange of the gossip of the day.
For more than century-ever since
Vermont, as free and independent re-
public, had Postofice Department and
Postmaster General of its own-the
postoffice has been the accustomed meet
ing-place of young and old for the ex-
change of gossip and of news. The car
rier may bring the letters, but he cannot
give the gossip of the postotfice steps,

Brigham Young's church has conde-
scended to inform its newly-made vota-
ries in foreign countries that although
the church held polygamy as sacred
right, yet the United States thought diff
ferently, consequently if they practiced
it they must take the risk. Consistent
church, that! And pretty idea these for
eigners must catch as first impression
of our Government which will even al
low such an institution within its Dor
ders. If they only will pack up and go
to Mexico or further off, very few means
will be made over their departure.

Champlain, N. Y, on Wednesday, the
other near Syracuse, N, Y, on Thursday.
The former was heavily-loaded excur-

Island. Four were killed and dozen
more or less injured. In the latter case
freight train on the West Shore Road
broke in two, and before the fast passen-
ger train coming in the rear could be
warned, it crashed into the freight. Ten
Italians in the smoking car on the way to
Niagara were killed, and about forty in
jured.

THEIR BODIES FOUND.



James Judge received letter last
Wednesday from Al Griffith inform
ing him of the finding of the bodies
of Samuel A. Clemons and George
E. Nodine, who were killed in
snowslide about the middle of Feb
ruary last. They were found by the
watchers placed on the spot by the
Odd Fellows, of which society the
unfortunate men were members, one
of the bodies being found on the 4th
and the other on the 9TH of this
month. When found they were
taken to Challis for interment. The
bodies were about $50 yards apart,
and the inference from facts brought
to light by their exhumation is that
they intentionally started the slide
themselves, fearing that it might
start when they were not expecting
it, and they were caught in it and
killed. Cemons had shovel in his
hand when found, and there were
three or four giant powder cartridges
on the person of Nodine, which were
capped and fused ready for use.
Pieces of burnt out fuse were found
also, and other evidences showing
that they had been exploding giant
powder when, or directly before,
thev we're overtaken by the fatal slide.
AS soon as Mr.. Judge heard of the
discovery of the bodies he telegraphed
TO the friends of both of the men, but
up to the hour of going to press Mr..
Clemons has not replied. Mrs. No
dimes reply was received yesterday
morning, and instructed Mr.. Judge
to have both of the bodies buried at
Challis and that Mr. Nodine, who was
not then at home, would pay the fu-
neral expenses. The bodies had,
however, been buried at Challis be-
fore the reception of the telegram,
thew having been removed to that
place for interment as soon as they
were taken out of the snow. The
dead men were cousins, and Sam
Clemons was SO years old. George
Nodine was year his junior. The
action of the sun on the snow brought
the body first to light, and the ever
faithful dog located the other by

KETCHUA KEYSTONE: The Kew
stone was favored this week bv let
ter from Johnny Foster, who left here
last fall to winter at Seafoam and do
development work on mines there
owned by himself and James Judge.
He writes that he has taken out eight
tons of frst-class ore that viii go
from 200 to 400 ounces of silver to
the ton, and has about six tons more
in sight. He has also made a loca-
tion which he is sangulne will prove
very valuable, as 1t is favorabIv loca-
ted and opens out with highly fiat
terlng surface prospects. All of the
Seafoam boys have been made happy
during the winter by the enjoyment
of the three essentials of life-plenty
to eat, hard work and good health.
A rich strike was made in the Black
hawk mine last week. Mr.. Foster,
with the help of one man, John Ho-
nan, has run 100 feet of tunnel, sunk
shaft 30 feet and run stope 40 feet
in good ore from ten inches to two
feet thick, all in less than FIVE months,
which we regard as pretty good work
for two men.
