Corn Can ming Factory Practically As
sured.

\ special meeting of the directors of the
board of'trade was held Monday afternoon
10 pass upon certain questions which have
arisen in connection with the corn-can-
ming industry, which it is expected will be
established here this summer. The prin-
cipal question for settlement was as to
whether the town would exempt Baxter
Brothers from taxation for five years.
This the directors voted to do and to as
sumo the responsibility, though of course
the town will concur in the action of the
board. The only other business of i'm
portance was TO examine specifications for
the buildings which will he needed by the
Industry and to appoint a committee to Sc
cure contracts for building them. This
committee consists of c. W. Durham, c.
O. Robbins and l.. f. Adams. The
amount of money necessary for The com
pletion of the buildings has been sub
scribed and over 800 acres of corn has
been guaranteed by the farmers of Brat
tleboro and vicinity. The directors of the
board of trade will meet again next Mon
day TO heal the report from those who are
soliciting acreage of corn and by that time
the necessary 400 acres will probably have
been subscribed so that final arrangements
may be made.

Daughter of an OId-Time BrattIeboro
Publisher.

Miss Eliza A. Nichols, s., whose death
in Boston the 9th inst. is recorded in an
other column, was the daughter of George
W. Nichols, the old-time Brattleboro pub
Usher. Mr.. Nichols was born in Stowe,
VT, in 1872, and learned the printers trade
in Walpole, n. Il. He became publisher
of the Brattleboro Messenger in 1926 and
ran it until that paper was merged with
the Independent Inquirer, published by
VIM. Z. Ryther, into The Vermont Pho
nix, in 1884. Two years later Mr.. Nichols
sold out his interest and bought the Wind
ham County Democrat which was started
by an association of Democrats and run
one year under the editorial management
of Joseph Steen. Mr.. Nichols's second
wife, Mrs. c. II. l. Nichols, a sister of
Judge Howard OF TOwnshend, was the edi-
tor of the paper several years. Under her
direction the Democrat became one of the
earliest champions of woman's rights in
this country, and took n prominent place
among the papers of the state. The paper
was discontinued in 1858 and in 1850 Mr..
Nichols and his family moved to Kansas,
where he died the same year. The Miss
Nichols who has just died and her sister,
Miss NJ. Nichols, have been employed for
many years on the Worlds Crisis, an Ad-
ventist paper, published in Boston.

Case Growing Out of Leon :. Burke's
Transactions.

There was hearing before Justice Mer-
rifeld Monday forenoon in the case of
Mrs. Phoebe Burke VS. Sheriff X. Z. Cor
don. This was a suit to recover a bicycle
or the value of bicycle attached by Sher-
if Gordon in behalf of F. J. Bailey and
II. b. Haus, creditors of Leon S. Burke.
the plaintiffs son. The plaintiff claimed
that before her son left town he turned the
bicycle over to her to be applied on board
bill. The defendant claimed that Leon S.
Burke transferred the wheel to his mother
to prevent its falling into the hands of his
creditors, and the court took that view of
the matter G. B. Hit appeared for the
plaintiff and c. c. Fits for the defendant.
In the afternoon there was a hearing be-
fore Justice Newton in the case of L. B.

'ered as claimant for the funds in the

raised was as to the funds held by Nj
Murphy. 1t appeared from the evidence
that before Burke skipped town he ship
ped goods to Chalmers in New York aud
that a check was afterwards sent TO Burke's
wife. The latter found it necessary Uc OBJ
tain an endorser to the check before she
could get cash for it and she made appli-
cation to Mr. Murphy. Mr.. Murphy
would not endorse the check until S23 30,
the value of the check, had been placed in
his hands as security. The plaintiff
claimed that she loaned the younger Mrs.
Burke the money TO secure Mr.. Murphy,
but the court held that the trustee was
liable for the amount in his hands II. G.

Report.
The annual village report will be issued
from The Phoenix job printing office to-
morrow.
BsiIihs' Report.
In presenting our report, we desire to
say that il has been our endeavor TO com
ply with the principle laid down at the last
village meeting, regarding our financial
affairs, and, were it not that bills were
presented which were contracted before
our term of service, and of which we had
no knowledge we would be able TO show
a balance in the treasury at this time A
detailed account of all expenditures and
liabilities will be found in the treasurer's
report.
During the year we have laid POO feet
of new sewers, the greater parl of which
is paid for by assessments along the lines
The police service, under the manage
ment of Chief Ernest Hall, has been en-
trely satisfactory in every way.
Our fire department has given us good
service. as heretofore. But steamer No. 4
is in bad shape, as reported last year. and
we recommend that IL be thoroughly over
hauled, and put in condition for efficient
service.
Complaint is made that passing is OBJ
structed by people lettering on the side
walks in some parts of this village. The
bylaws are not explicit as regards this
matter, and we hope such action will be
taken as will make the duty of the police
plain in such cases.
The expense of lighting the streets
mounts up year by year, and this is mat
ter that deserves careful consideration.
Our present arc lights are rated at 2OOO
candle power Many cities and towns are
using lamps of 1900 candle power, that
give good results, and as the contract for
our arc ghts expires very soon, we think
it a favorable time 70 consider this matter.
Some of our streets are so shaded by trees
that we fail to utilize the full power of the
lights. Under such conditions incandes-
cent lights may be used to advantage and
at less cost. While we believe in rigid
economy in public affairs, we are aware
that the best economy is not always in the
line of the lowest cost any more than a
lavish expenditure is a guaranty of the
best results.

$50. 900


$50 900
Several interesting letters have been re-
ceIved by Mrs Peter Caron of Estevvile
from her brother, o. L. Jacques, who is
now in Dawson City. Mr.. Jacques. for
merly barber in Brattleboro and Hins-
dale left for the Klondike last summer in
the first rush of gold seekers, starting from
Atlantic City, y. j., with a party of five.
The party proceeded as far as Dyea with
out mishap, but while crossing Lake Ben
nett their boat was overturned and all the
outfits lost Mr.. Jacques succeeded in find
ing one OF his valises after it had been in
the water three days, and wrote a letter
home on some paper that was in it.
The party was obliged to separate after
the loss OF their outfits, including provs-
ions, etc, but Mr.. Jacques continued on
his journey, arriving at Dawson CITY in
October He now owns two 500 feet
claims. Good claims are valued at from
$4,000 to 100000 each, and one near
those of Mr.. Jacques was sold for $50. 600
He is working at his trade as a barber re-
ceiving 81 for a hair cut and 50 CENTS for
a shave. Mr.. Jacques said in his letter
dated Feb. l. that he had provisions enough
to last until spring. The coolest weather he
has experienced is 90 degrees below zero.
- degrees below being considered warm
for the winter months.
Mr.. Jacques says that his health is
good, but he does not wish to STAY at Daw-
son any longer than he can help on ac-
count OF the rough class of people there.
His advice to every one is to stay at home
as the hardships are so many that only
those OF strong constitutions can stand
them.
