The Latest Vanderbilt Move.

Ii reports from Boston are correct Mr.
W. *. Vanderbilt has announced to finan-
cial agents in that city his willingness to
abandon the project for a lease of the
Boston and Albany by the New York Cen
trail owing to his resentment over the at
tempts of certain members TO interfere
with the contamination of the contract.
Another statement made by the New York
Times is that the New York Central will
now Proceed to take over the Ftchburg
railroad, so that the Boston and Albany
may be compelled henceforth to depend
to a considerable extent upon local traf-
lie. If this is so, the Boston and Albany
stockholders will probably have seen their
last eight per cent dividend for some time

A Political Preface

The time is rapidly approaching in
Vermont wher the adherents of the vari-
Gus candidates for high office will need to
cease their indulgence in invective and
fummcry and give the people arguments
Of a legitimate sort, If they are to win
votes for their favorites. 1t is n reflection
on the intelligence of the people of YER
mont to suppose that they can be induced
to vote for ANY man by calling his rivals
names, or carcaturng these in the press
by means of florid word painting. Ner-
mont wants men in her state offices and
as her representatives in the national
councils who are large enough to look
down upon peanut politics, and in the end
she is likely to secure public servants of
that class as a result of the various con-
tests whose prelminares are now upon
US. Let us have a campaign of which we
shall not be ashamed when we look back
to see how our public servants were
chosen from Vermonts long list Of men of
ability and brilliant parts.

Stave Island.

This island, now the property of our
townsman, f. II. Wells, has had various
names in its past history. The late DR..
Melvin Barnes in his "Reminiscences of
Lake Champlain," printed in 1852, says
that in 1871 or $50 the island was occupied
by the famous Mohawk chief, Brandt
with a party Of indians and by some Brit
ish regulars under Major Jessup, who
wintered there; that a year or two later
the site of the encampment was sown 20
wheat, and that subsequently, the quanti-
ties of Strawberries which grew on the
neglected wheat fields gave the name OF
"Stra wberry Island" to the island. After
the naval engagement between the fleets
of Benedict Arnold and General Carleton,
in October, 1776, the island was known for
a time as "Carleton's Island" and is so de-
signated on some of the old maps, There
was then, says DR., Barnes, a low slim
point of land extending from the north
end of the island, which was carried away
by the high water in the spring of ISIS.
In the early and foggy moving following
Arnold's and CarletoE's engagement some
of the British ships took this point and
Gull Island" little rock with tree
upon it which looked through the mist
like a vessel with single mast-for some
of Arnolds ships, and fired into them. This
incident gave to the point and island the
name of "Carleton's Prize" and this rock
is still called "Carelton's Prize" on some
maps of Lake Champlain
At some later date not mentioned by
DIR. Barnes, the name of the island became
"Stave Island" as ne says, Tin reference
to winds and waves and accidents there

LETTERS FROM THE PEOLPe
Director Hills of tho Agricultural Expert
ment station Replies to Mr.. Hiybee.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
| | notice that Mr.. W. w. Higbee of Char
lotte suggests in your issue of Saturday
that parties sending samples of milk TO
the Experiment Station for test be asked
by it to state whether the samples come
from private diaries or are meant to re.
present milk taken to the creamery; and
if the latter, that "the sample should he
the identical milk that the creamery man
has tested"
Section 263 of the Vermont Statutes
makes IT the duty of the station to test
milk for residents of the State without
charge. Hundreds of samples sent from
all parts of the State are thus tested year.
ly. The report of results always includes
the stations disclaimer of responsibility
as to the correctness of sampling, the
phraseology used being "the sample of
milk sent by you has been tested" etc.
The station appears to have no power
either to refuse samples sent or to require
statement as to their nature. Yet without
question it sometimes happens that,
through error of ignorance or intent on
the part of the patron in sampling, fraud
has been imputed to the creamery man
agement. The creamery-men, to whom
the deadly parallel of creamery and station
tests is presented, may point out the pos
sibility of error in samping and refer the
patron to the station for verifcation of
the statement
! 1t is but right to say that the station
report for the past eleven years has con-
taned in a prominent place the following
statement instructions for taking sam
pies of fertilizers, folders, milk etc, will
be sent on application. Parties desiring
to send samples should first write for these
directions. Many samples received are
useless, being incorrectly drawn" This
same general statement has been reiterat-
ed at the farmers institutes all over the
state for years and has been published
repeatedly in reports of the Board of Agri-
culture and of the State Dairymens AS
SoCiation.
The method of comparison suggested by
Mr. lligbee (havng the creamery sample)
has been uniformly advised as most likely
TO be satisfactory yet on several uccas-
ions parties desiring to submit samples to
the station have strenuously objected to
this method of checking the creamery
test on the ground that the creamery com
posite sample might be improperly handl-
ed or, indeed tempered with prior to its
division. In brief 1t may be said that tho
writer knows of no method which VIII in
sure an absolutely correct sample for
which the station can Vouch, unless its
employee or some competant and disnter-
estcd person take the sample and has it In
sole charge throughout the entire process
The best that can be done therefore is &c
call attention as often as possible to the
necessity of care in sampling; and, IN re-
porting results, to make it clear that the
test is simply that of the sample sent and
not necessarily of the material which il
was supposed to represent
Yours Truly.
JOSEPH L. HILLS, Director.
