AMERICA GETS BEST MINES.
Result of Survey of Disputed Boundary
Line
1pu The Associated Press }

Vancouver, B. c.. Oct. 16.-The survey
of the disputed boundary line at Mount
Baker has been completed by the pro-
vincial surveyor, Deane. The line places
all the mines of Importance in the dis
trict on the American side. although
mile of extra territory is given to British
Columbia.
The chief Importance of the survey is
that a Canadian Government commits
sioner by locating the boundary line north
of the mining camps, compels all Cana
dians sending in supplies to the camps
to pay duty and this practically diverts
the large trade to mines from Chilliwack,
B. c., TO Sumas, Washington.

1t is to be regretted that the high plane
and general good feeling which character
lied the Congressional canvass in the Sec
ond district is not to be maintained in the
senatorial contest, and that the Grout
forces have thrown down besmirched and
offensive gauntlet. The attempt to make
capital with the farmers against Mr.. Dill
bingham by attacking his course on the
oleomargarine bill when he was a member
of the Vermont legislature was the dirtiest
and most contemplate bit of political
work Vermont has known within the men,
oTy of the present generation. His action
then was in accord with common sense,
and was for the best interests of the far
mers. Six out of the nine members of the
judiciary committee of the house agreed
with him, and his action was supported
unanimously by the agricultural committee
of the senate, all of whom were farmers,
These alleged letters from farmers in
Windham county, using false statements
for capital and attempting to give the peo
pie in other parts of the state an erroneous
idea of the situation in Windham county
are of the same low stripe.
Gen. Grouts supporters will have only
kind and courteous treatment from Th'
Phoenix as long as they use honorable
m cans in the support of his candidacy, bu
when they stoop to Misrepresentation ant
tIickery it is time to call their bluff.

The Ph9nix challenges the Farmers
Advocate to name farmer in Guilford
with the initials &c. T." who wrote the
above. Presumably the letter is fictitious,
like the one purporting to come from
Marlboro. The Phoenix also challenges
sc. t." whoever he is, to prove that
there was any agreement that if Plumley
withdrew Windham county would endorse
Dillingham;. There is not a scintilla of
foundation for making such claim. Col.
Haskins was nominated unfettered by
agreement of any kind, and Windham
county would have declared for ex-Gov.
Dillingham; if Plumley, Stafford or Dale
had been nominated. On a popular vote
Windham county is in favor of Mr.. Dill
lingham as against Gen. Grout 10 to l.
The only chance for Gen. Grout to get
delegates elected in this county favorable
to his candidacy is by clever scheming and
manipulation in the smaller towns, and
the probabilities are that Windham county
will be solid against him.

The Wilmington Times says the action
of the Dillingham; men in the Windham
county Republican convention meant:
"Either they had no confidence in the
honesty of their candidates or else the
Hon. j. L. Martin and his friends desired
to show off before the crowd and humill-
ate the few representatives in that conVen-
tion of Gen. CIRCUITS many warm friends
in Windham county" Under the anti
quated system of representation in Yer
mont the only opportunity for the people
to express a preference is in the primaries.
This the people of Bratteboro did in eau
Gus, when a resolution favoring Mr.. Dill
lingham was passed unanimously with
over $50 voters present. Other towns did
likewise, and at the county convention the
action at the caucuses was re-affirmed,
simply to show the rest of the state where
Windham county stood. Addison, Ben
nington, Chittenden, Lamoile, Washing
ton and Windsor counties adopted resolu
tions similar to the one in which Windham
county Republicans expressed their wish.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1900-07-27

1t will be remembered that the Wind
ham county Republican convention by a
vote of 90 to II adopted resolution in
structing the senatorial nominees to vote
for ex-Gov Dillingham; and to use all hon
orable methods to secure his election as
United States senator. AS the Farmers
Advocate has referred to Guilford it may
be well to state that the caucus there, to
elect delegates to the state, district and
county conventions, adopted a resolution
endorsing Mr.. Dillingham's candidacy with
only three dissenting votes out of total
attendance of 10 Republican voters. Gull

The Famine In India.

England is fairly indictable before the
world for the death and suffering in India.
i Montpelier Journal.
England is furnishing systematic relief
to 100000 people, and the suffering is
more terrible in the native provinces than
in those under British control. India has
been always at intervals, famine. ravage6
country, and before British rule was estab-
lished the people we're permitted to die like
flies. Fully 100000 perished in a single
famine. Now when unfaVOrable weather
makes food scarce and the inhabitants be-
gin to starve, the British government un-
dertakes vast public works, and thus gives
the famine-stTicken people employment
which enables them to buy food. This ex-
pedient does not pauperize people, and it
gives the government return which is
calculated to diminish the future dangers
of famine. Thousands of miles of good
roads have been constructed as a result of
the relief works, and even better than the
roads are the canals, which are the great
est material blessings bestowed upon India.
The irrigation canals have turned big
deserts into some of the finest wheat fields
in the world Instead of being "indictable
before the world for the death and suffer
ing in India" England is to be commended
for her good work in relieving the suffer
ing. The problem is tremendous one,
however, and thousands are dying A few
cents day will support an entire family,
and people who contribute to the famine
relief fund will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have relieved suffering
and probably saved lives.

Letters In the Farmers' Advocate Pur-

purports to be farmer and veteran Of

Haskins as a straight out and out sale"
on the part of the Dillingham; forces, and
lauds Gen. Grout as always working for
the interests of the farmer, the laboring
man and the veteran. "E. w. S." would
have done better If he had signed himself a
fraud and an unscrupulous political worker
with a mask on. Only two men from
Marlboro attended the district convention.

P. Dillingham; as United States senator,

In another issue of the Farmers ADV
cate &c. T." of Guilford writes "to gi
the true impression of the farmers
Windham county on the question of o
next SENATOR" as follows:
Certain local papers down this
way have been bowling about
Grout politics, thinking thereby TO
divert attention from their own
peculiar methods.
At the district convention at
White River junction the farmers
were largely in favor of Frank
Plumley but the Dillingham; fac
tion induced him to withdraw in
favor of Haskins, who is no friend
to the farmer as his public
speeches and past record will tes-
tify. The politician used the ar
gument that if Plumley would
withdraw in favor of Haskins that
Windham county would go for
Dillingham; in the county conven-
tion.
The deal was accomplished ac-
cording to the program but the
farmer will be heard from later
on.
When the September election
comes round it will be seen that
the farmer cannot be fooled all the
time. Most all the towns in
Windham county will send Grout
representatives. Gen. Grout has
never yet gone back on the farm
ers and working men, and we pro-
pose to stay with him yet a little
longer.
