EXPLORING A BEARS CAVE

While the protective laws OF Vermont
have been useful in the increase of deer,
birds and fish. lat the same time they have
resulted in the multiplication OF the nox-
ious animals-blsck bears, foxes, etc.. for
the reason tnat sportsmen have done lit
tie hunting. Black bears have increased
so rapidly in Vermont that they have be-
come source OF great annoyance as we'll
az Of fright to the farmers. The bears
have come down into the clearings and
committed many deprsdations. Although
the state pays the liberal bounty Of SIS
for each bear killed. and the peits sell at
from S. to $40 in addition, in the opinion
of hunters and trappers the animals are
growing in numbers in the mountain
section of the state. SCARCELY a week has

These caverns and subways are the nat
ural hiding places for bears, which have
been known to purrow into the dark re-

legends, which still exist, bear witness to
the fact that bruin makes the caves his

It IS WHITE WINGED PEACE
The Head of the Park Depart
ment Will Not Be Changed
THE MAYOR FELL DOWN
He Would Stand in With the Con.
spirators
Commissioner Teed Has Been noliifled and
There Are to Be No Changes In the
Park Department

| Superintendent of Parks Elmo r. Me-
The alarm in the plot sounded by The
HERALD about two weeks ago has COM
pelled.the bosses, in spite of their individual
inclinations, to sidetrack the attempted
job at least for the present, with strong in
dications that things will remain in statu
quo at least until next years municipal
election and the inevitable may even tide
| over that very important local event.
The mayor found this and other mat
ters at skies and sevens when ne returned
from the East last Tuesday. Both sides
to the controversy in which the superin-
tendent of parks has been the star actor,
pounced upon him with their different
tales of woe. RAIDER found working upon
one side personal influences of long stand
ing and upon the other, political strings
which it was thought that he could not
ignore. Walter +. Parker had, however,
in advance sized up the situation thorough
ly, and while it is understood that he kept
out of the fight himself entirely. the mayor
took the cue from the information fur
nished him by his secretary and he has
acted accordingly.
The influences which are anti-Meserve
have been informed that their request can
not be acceded to at this time and that
after time when public opinion is not
such a unit upon the matter, their demands
may be acceded to.
The Lindley influence is said to be claim
ing the credit for having nipped in the bud
the attempt to oust Meserve. The whole
thing was, however, really simply a
knuckle to what has been proven was pub
lie opinion.
Councilman Munson, who is understood
to have been forninst Meserve, now says
that he assisted in placing the park super
intendent where he is and he has always
been his friend and will never be party to
his removal or change in the park COM
mission SO long as Meserve proves himself
efficient. Commissioner Teed has been
notified by the promise that he will hereaf-
er not be ignored in the conduct of the park
department, and Meserve as the final act
in the consummation of the new treaty of
peace, will, at the next meeting of the
board, himself move that additional COM
mittees be appointed who will accept with
him the responsibility of running the va
riOuS parks.
