IT is said that Senator Proctor takes
great interest in the weather, more es-
Pecially that of Vermont than that of
Washington. This is because the eli.
mate has great effect upon the enter
prises of which he is the head Severe
winter weather tends to stop the work
in the marble quarries of this section.
The trimming of the product goes on in
the sheds, whatever the temperature, but
the senator keeps watchful eye on the
storms that swing with such regularity
out OF the West and describing a curve
toward the South, finally emerge upon
the Atlantic at the very coast. These
storms affect Vermont considerably and
day seldom passes, especially in hard
weather, without visit to the maps at
the weather bureau by Senator Proctor.
