Trade Bureau Of the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers Association.

This Bureau is to be organized as a stock
company, with an authorized capital of $780,
600 for the purpose of marketing the Maple
products of the stockholders of said Bureau.
The shares of stock are $40 each payable on
or after March l, 1898, no stock to be called
for until $4,000 has been subscribed. Each
holder Of stock in said Bureau shall have the
right to market his maple products through
the Bureau, the operation of the Bureau to
be cooperative, and goods received shall be
paid for on basis of sales made for the sea-
son. Each holder of stock shall be entitled
to one vote for each share of stock owned, in
the management OF the affairs of the Bureau.
The Bureau shall be located at some central
point to be determined by the director chosen
by the stockholders of this Bureau.
The first meeting of the stockholders, for
organization OF this Bureau, shall be called
by the officers Of the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers Association, for the purpose of
choosing officers and adopting necessary
rules and regulations for the management Of
the Bureau.
Iii proposed to receive all goods at this
station in the form of syrup, in casks and
kegs supplied by the Bureau, the syrup so re-
ceived to be graded and credited to the per-
son sending, and some portion of the value of
the goods to be paid to the producer on their
receipt at the station, the balance to be paid
at the close OF the years business.
1t Is proposed to secure registered trade
mark, or state seal, for goods markete
through this Bureau, thereby affording pro-
lection to genuine maple goods.
The entire management of this Bureau is
in the hands Of the stockholders and its OBJ
ject is wholly in the Interest of the producer
OF maple products. The unreasonably low
price of maple goods to-day is evidence
enough OF the Importance OF making some eff
fort at least to obtain better prices for the
product by offering the purchaser positive
guarantee of its genuineness and by placing
the goods directly in the hands of the retailer
under protected seal or trademark
For Farmers to avail themselves of the ben
etits OF such an organization this season,
prompt action is necessary.
Elsewhere is printed prospectus of
of what is styled the Trade Bureau of the
Vermont Maple Sugar Makers association.
The organization of this bureau, or some
similar movement for elf-protection, merits
careful consideration at the hands OF YER
mont maple sugar producers. Each season
the city markets are flooded by thousands of
dollars worth of miserable stuff labeled" Ver-
mont maple sugar; it is so remotely related
to the real article, however, that to establish
its pedigree would be delicate task. Un-
scrupulous dealers are making big money at
the expense of Vermont farmers, and it is
high time farmers enter vigor protest; they
have smiled long enough while their pockets
are being picked.

CONFIDE NICE IN THE OREGON

Congressman Sulloway said at Man

"Only a few days ago President Nc
Kinley said to me: 'Sulloway, it is most
remarkable the confidence our naval Of
fcers have in our ships. They do not
think there is such thing as defeat. 3,
''The president was right. A few days
since, at one of the hotels in Washing
ton, a speaker incidentally remarked
that he feared the Oregon might be CAP
tured. A naval officer who happened to
be sitting near jumped up in his seat
and replied hotiy: THE Oregon captur-
ed? Never! She can lick any five ships

gon?> guess you don't know CLARK, her
commander This represents the senti-
ment Of the naval officers. But there is
no discounting the fact that there is
great anxiety in Washington over this

is deemed by some of the naval authori-
ties as being the greatest fighting ma
chine afloat. New York World.

A NEST OF MINES.

Dor Is Filled With Them.

Captain King, q Diver, Says Havana, Has-
Dor Is Filled With Them.
Captain King, a diver of much expe-
rience, has arrived at Duluth. He says
he was employed for three months last
summer laying mines in Havana har-
Dor for the Spanish. He is thoroughly
familiar with the harbor and it's
strength, but he signed articles binding
himself to secrecy as to the location of
the mines and will not say much about
them except that the harbof is sprinkled
with them. Anywhere within the five
j. mile limit'of the shore from the mouth
Of the channel into the remotest part is
covered with these mines, he says.
Some are filled with dynamite and some
with gun. cotton, and all are exploded
by an electric shock from the shore.
Captain King says:
cit is not going to be an easy thing
to take Havana. 1t may take two years.
The bay is fortified for many miles.
The harbor is wide, but the entrance
is narrow and strongly fortified. It is
true many of the guns are old, but they
have some fine ones, too, Of the Krupp
make, and they will not be easily ST.
fenced. I think a long siege will be
necessary to take the city. While pre-
venting supplies from being taken in
the forts will have to be battered down
one after the other. This done, boats
can be sent in with divers to cut the
mines. I know little or nothing of the
approaches from the land side, but it is
generally believed in Havana that the
mountain passes through which entrance
must be made are all heavily mined"

CALLS 1T A HOLY WAR;.

In lecture before the students the

college said, speaking Of the war with
Spain:
cit seems to me the most holy war
since the foundation of the world, not
for effect, not for glory, not for domin
ion, but to put an end to the suffering
Of humanity. If ever there was a case of
heroic international self denial, we have
it before US.

its highest form the unifioation Of our
republic. In fact, this has BEEN accom-
plished. Today tho nation is united.
We are getting the development of our
national consciousness as we never had
1t before. We are also expeRienoing q
deepening sense Of national responsible.

Cost of Feeding the Army.

The cost of maintaining the amalga-

a good deal more than most people ap-
preoiate. The item of. subsistence alone
will be an enormous one. The subsist-
ence officers have reported to Secretary
Alger that the provisioning Of the army
IN the field to Aug. 81 will involve an
expenditure of nearly %, 000. 900. The
estimate for subsistence is 30 cents per
day per man. and is for an army Of

regulars and 1875, 900 volunteers) 387, !
600 per day. It has been recognized
now that the estimates prepared must
not contemplate the maintenance Of an
army for q less period than a year.
This means an annual cost for. subsist-
