showed loss of more than million dollars
This Is not only an indication of the great con.
iidence the people repose in the bank and its
able management but also shows that the peo-
PIE OF Vermont are not slow to appreciate the
loyalty to home interests which this bank has
eynced. 1t is u significant fact that the bank
has never lost a dollar by bad investments,
nor has It now II single dollar of poor or
doubtful paper. No dividends are paid to
stockholders, but they are held for the seclr-
ity of depositors. -Four per cent interest is
equitable IN their interest rule. Most banks
| compute interest from the first of the month
| only on such deposits as are made on or be-
fore the fifth. This bank allows interest from
the beginning of the quarter on all deposits
made on or before the middle. Quarters COM
mence on the first of january, April, July
and September. 1t always has money to loan
to the people of Lamoille county and of such
portions of adjacent counties as constitute
legitimate field for the investments of the
bank. The officers and directors of the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust Co.,
are not only able inanciers and business men
but pleasant and accommodating gentlemen
with whom to trantact business. No one in
the state is more highly esteemed personally
than Gov. Page, who is also president of the
Lamoille County National Bank of Hyde
Park. Vice President II. NJ. Mcfarland is
prominent attOrney-at-aw and insurance
agent of Hyde Park, and is also vice president
of the Lamoille Co, National Bank of Hyde
Park. c. A. Knight, the treasurer, has held
that position with credit and ability since the
inception of the bank. He was born in

HOTEL PHOENIX.
Hyde Parks Modern and Well Managed
Hotel.

AS indicated by its name the presence of the
Hotel Phoenix in Hyde Park is in consequence
of fire, which burned the old hotel. This
model structure, as shown in the cut, was
erected only three years ago by stock COM
pany, of which eX-Gov. Page is president, at
an expense of about $4,000, and Is undoubt-
edly one of the most desirable summer hotel
in Vermont 1t is centrally located in the vii
lage, which is itself upon d high and very at
tractive plane surrounded by valley, hill and
mountain and amid some of the most pictur-
esque scenery of the Green Mountain state.
Lovely views are obtained from almost any
point in Hyde Park. The building itself is
a model of architecture. Its interior is
most conveniently arranged and contains first
class accommodations for 30 guests. No lux
ury afforded in situation, surroundings, mod
ern conveniences or expert management in
any hotel in the state is lacking at the Hotel
Phoenix. The house is heated throughout by
steam as well as ornamental fire places: hot
and cold baths are provided and electric call
bells communicate to every room. Above all

failing pure cold spring water. while as re-

There is also flourishing Odd Fellows

Hyde Park is fortunate in being supplied
with water from springs, the water being
conducted to the consumer without having
ever been exposed to the heats of the sun or
contaminated by receiving the surface water
and its accompanying filth: As q result the
| village has been exceptionally free from
diphtheria and those kindred diseases which
result from impure water. 1t is notable
fact that there has been only one case of diph-
liberia within the village limits in more than
% years and that was the village physician,
who received by contact with severe case
he was treating, the diphtheretic poison which
caused his death. The location of Hyde Park
is such that excellent drainage is easily OBJ
tainable and to this fact and the quality of
the soil, which is sandy, and her pure spring
water. the village is indebted for that remar-
kable healthfuness for which it has so long
been noted. The springs from which the wa
ter is piped were enclosed in 1861. The res
ervoir utilizedIhas a capacity of 900 gallons.
The system is owned by Ex-Governor c. S.

AN EMERGENCY IS ON.

There is now a prospect of railroad
tie-up of considerable duration. The
cause is enc that may arise at any time.
The Southern Pacific Company undertakes
to perform governmental function. They
undertake to carry the mails for the Coy
eminent When the Government denies
TO other parties the privilege OF carrying
letters that do not bear a Government
stamp it contracts with the people to carry
the mails when mails can be carried. To
keep its contract the railroad company
must do everything in its power. It per-
forms 10 higher duty to the people than
this. Now, what should the Government
do when a quarrel between transportation
companies and employees stops the running
of trains? Is it to stand by silently while
the transportation companies are settling
their differences with their employees? Is
1t TO remain passive while tens of millions
Of dollars are being lost daily through the
railroads neglect to fulfill their contracts
with the people? The principle has al
ready been established that in time of
emergency q Government may do any
thing. It will be held responsible for
what it does or fails to do when the emer-
gency is over. But when the emergency is
on it must do something. The emergency
appears TO be on. It may be more percep-
ti6le tomorrow or next day. but it is
clearly visible TO the naked eye to-day.
The Government should see that the mails
are carried, if it has to carry them ITSELF

A F REE RIGHT OF WAY.

The co mbination Of bosses. strikes, and
. the DEGREES OF corporations just now
touching so many public interests have not
been able to close the waterways OF the
State The great bay of San Francisco
with connecting bays, the Sacramento and
the San Joaquin rivers, are ali open to free
competition. 1t is reported that the river
service TO Stockton will be doubled, and
probably it will be more than doubled on
the Sacramento River. There are great
Enumbers of tugs, steam launches and other
small steamers now ready to serve the
public. They will not stop to cavil about
the hauling of Pullman cars. The fruit
men on the rivers, bays and estuaries, as
well as the garden-truck men, will have an
unimpeded way to market From Alvso
TO Red Bluff. and from the pay to Fire
baughs Ferry, ON the San Joaquin, these
waterways will become popular routes as
long at least as the railway service is
paralyzed. They are now the chief de-
pendence: Should the ferry service of the
Southern Pacific Company be wholly
discontinued citizens may cross the bay
on steam tugs, launches and other
small craft. Had the competing
ferry lines been kept up there would
have been little hindrance on the
ferry routes. From San Diego to Port
land the ocean route is free from absolute
corporate control. In former times these
great waterways supplied in a large de-
gree the wants of the State. They were

AN OPEN LETTER.

The letter of Henry E. Righton to At
toIney-General Olney states the law of the
case involved in the proposed funding bill,
but does not dwell upon the policies like
wise involved. As Mr.. Highton says, the
Union Pacific is in position as a Federal
corporation having perpetual existence to
enter into valid contract to pay its debt
at any future time. This is a reason why
no funding bill covering the two COM
panies should be passed. but not a reason
why any bill refunding the debt of either
road should be passed. The Union Pa.
cifc has been conducted with the same
disregard of law and equity as the Central
Pacific. 1t has made millions for its man.
ayers, and has failed TO provide for its OBJ
legations. Its management has offered a
premium on rascality and financial unre-
liability. 1t has Knocked equally with the
Central Pacific the ordinary business
method OF acquiring property. Its debt is
now about due. and it is the duty of the
Government to exact payment. If waste
and dishonesty have made payment i'm
