l.. S. Hayes of Bellows Falls, the
insurance adiuster and expert, has
recently completed his record of
fires and fire losses in Vermont
during the year 1908. The sum-
mary by totals is as follows:
Number of tires 3S7, property
oss $S96,o37, insurance paid 5000

In the list of causes g fires are
set down to "incendiary," defective

a comparison of the 1895 figures
with those for 1897 shows the loss

Miles Praises Pacific Coast Troops

General Miles i'll speaking the other
day about western troops in general,
made some remarks which show his
knowledge Of the western country.
Western men," said general Miles, "are
the product of the fronticrsnen. Most
of them grew up as boys, and their
fathers before them, and i'll many
instances they themselves found it
necessary to be trained and skilled in
the use of firearms. These men pro-
tected their lives from the Indians and
often times from the wild beasts. In
many cases they have secured their food
by shooting the buffalo, the deer and the
antelope, and also smaller game The
men were skilled in the use OF the rifle
and shotgun. They often clothed them
l'selves from the Buffalo skins, deer skins
bear skins and skins of other animals
| that roam the western forests and plains
Aside from their skill with the gun
they became skilled in all kinds of wood
craft and took care of themselves upor
the plains and far from civilization
They gained knowledge of life that nC
eastern man can can acquire, because hi
experiences have not led him through
the same course. Those men wer,
| taught i'll natures school, and tn,
principal part of that schooling is in self
preservation and care of themselves ant
their property, The children of thos,
men accustomed to all that their parent
had gone through, and for this reason
those western troops became the flowe
of the army" General Miles offer
grows enthusiastic in his talk of thu
great west, where he serve. so long an,
where great deal of his reputation wa
made Union.
