why Not Test the water.

Nearly all the large towns of the state
are taking advantage Of the law permitting
the free examination of all water supplies
of villages and cities by the state board OF
health at the state laboratory of hygiene at
Burlington, for which the state appropriat-
ed $4,000 at the last session of the legis-
lature. Although there has been much
talk in regard to our impurity OF water the
past year, and large sums have been paid
to dealers in pure spring water during the
past winter, no samples of this water
supply have been furnished them and no
report made upon it. Last year OF l53
systems examined Is were condemned as
unsafe. There is no question as to the
pure quality of our water as far as health
goes but the people would feel better II 1t
was oftener tested. At the laboratory are
IS or 20 cards showing reports OF examlna-
tions of suspected contagious diseases tur-
nished by our Bellows Falls physicians,
indicating that the doctors are alive TO the
benefits to be derived from the aid given
by the state board of health in any matter
pertaining to the health of our citizens.

THE NORMA PLANTATION.

The Calls Samoan correspondent
tells of Commodore Weavers move
ments, as follows:
About the beginning of December the
yacht Norma arrived here from Homo
lulu via Fannings Island, in command
Of Commodore N. j.. Weaver OF the
New York Yacht Cub.
Commodore Weaver, after investi-
eating the cacao business here and af-
ter interviewing the different authori-
ties, many whites and numerous ma
tives of importance, decided to start
here probably the largest and most
complete cacao plantation in the whole
world. About 5000 acres of land sit
uated ten miles east Of Apia, has been
secured, and contracts for the prelimi-
nary clearing of the place will be inn
mediately let, and no doubt other lands
up to 10000 or 10000 acres in all will
be secured. The porperty is traversed
by numerous running streams, and
several fine falls supply unlimited pow
err. The valley which has been secured
is composed of rich alluvial soil, and
is almost level. Electric trolley lines
will gridiron the whole plantation
making every section available tor use
and rendering the work as easy as pos.
sible.
The commodore left in the Norma fer
Auckland on the eth inst, after plac-
ing the management CT his affairs in
the hands of II. J. Moors OF this place
1t is likely that the Norma plantation
will become the finest and most pro-
ductiye cacao plantation in the whole
world. The quality OF well-cured Sa-
mean cacao is said to be superior to
that of any otner grown in the Pacific
and not less excellent than any pro-
duced elsewhere. Nearly every white
man owning land here in Samoa Is now
turning 1t into cacao orchards as fas,
as possible, the profits, 1t is said, be-
4 ing remarkable.
