many Of them are as good as or better than

In conversation with travelling men the
writer has often heard Vermont hotels com
plmented highly in comparison with the
country hotels in license States which are
simply "rum holes" and give more atten-
ton to drink than to food or beds; and
believe II Vermont had less prohibition she
would not have more sobriety but more
drunkenness and poorer country hotels.

VermOnt---AnOther View.

Editor of Wdtchnldn and JOurndl:-The in
teresting letter on the decline Of the Rural
Towns and It's Remedy" from Daniel Perry
OF Maysville, Mo, which appeared in the
WATERMAN of December B, contains some
good suggestions but as a resident of YER
mont who is quite well acquainted in differ
ent parts of the State think the facts do
not bear out some of Mr.. Perry's state
ments.
For instance, in closing his letter MT
Perry says: "What 1 believe Vermont
needs most is, better schools and less poor
roads; more sobriety and less prohibition;
more summer visitors and less poor hotels
in the country"
This would imply that our schools, roads
and hotels in Vermont are poor and that
our people are Incorporate. Now, while |
do not claim that Vermont institutions can
not be improved, l do believe that our
schools will average with those in other
States and possibly with those of Missouri.
| know that there has been a great i'm
provement in our roads during the past ten
years, especially since the introduction of
road machines and snow rollers. There
has also been a marked improvement since
the system of using the State tax for per-
manent road making has been adopted
and from travel in this and some other
States, and also from conversation with
men who have travelled extensively in other
States believe our roads are as good as or
better than the average in other States. 1
think il the present system OF permanent
road making can be carried out as begun,
the next ten years will show still greater
improvements and without any great addi-
tional cost to tax payers.

MURDER AT ALBURG.

A deliberate murder was committed in
Alburg Wednesday morning. The MUIR
dered man and the murderer were both
strangers and nothing had been seen Of
them until the body Of the dead man was
found on the track by the engineer on the
easbound train on the Central Vermont
railroad.
An investigation was at once commenced.
Officers OF all surrounding towns were no
titled and it was found that suspicious
character was at LacOlle p. O., station.
Deputy Sheriff Mullen of Rouses Point was
notified and Immediately went to that place
and arrested him, bringing him to Rouses
Point and putting him in Jail. No state
ment from him has been given out.
When the investigation was begun 1t was
found that two men, John Julien and Frank
Coolrdge had stayed over night at Hotel
Montgomery iu Rouses Point. Papers on
the dead mans body sent him from Mont
real showed that he was Julien and the
supposed murderer is Cooridge. The two
men were seen by the keeper of the draw
passing the bridge this morning but were
not seen afterwards.
From the circumstantial evidence it
would appear that the men came to Rouses
Point on the night train and that Coolidge
shot Julien while he was walking on the
track ahead OF him. Evidently Coolridge
was waiting at Lacole to catch the night
train tonight and get back to Montreal.

PIONEERS TO BE HONORED.
Early Settlers of Oregon Are Soon
to Have an Attractive
Monument.

It has been decided by the pioneer
monument committee of the Society
of Oregon Native Sons, with the con-
aurrence of the Oregon Native Daugh-
Gers, to hold in Portland next year a
grand celebration to last week or
ten days. While the plans are not
fully matured, the consensus of opin-
ion among business men, as expressed
by many of them, is that it will be
more satisfactory to have it take
the place of the annual exposition;
that we should make it a state af-
fair-an exhibition of the wonderful
improvements in manufacturing ap-
pliances and machinery in the nearly
threescore years of our governmental
existence and offer every encourage
ment TO the people TO bring in the his
torical relics they have laid away, says
the Portland Oregonian.
Besides the attractiveness of such
a feature it will give our historical
society an opportunity to augment its
already valuable collection. The Ma
tive Sons and Native Daughters are
historical societies, their common OBJ
ject being to see that the history of
the early days of the land of inter
minable woods" is duly recorded. The
purpose of this celebration is to raise
money to build a monument to the
pioneers. 1t is proposed to erect in
Portland a memorial building on one
of the Park row blocks which can be
used as museum for pioneer relics
meeting place for the pioneers, In
dian war veterans and the Oregon
Historical society and as a depository
for the archives of the latter.

for the assurance that DO effort would
