HAWAII AT
WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from Page j.

Hawaii, is on file with Attorney Gen
eral Knox at the Department of JUS
tice. Probably it viii not be acted on
till after Congress meets. It is under
stood here that Mr.. Van Orsdel wishes
the office largely because it is impera-
tive that his wife shall live in some
locality near the seashore. Her health
is frail, and she is unable to stand
the high altitude OF Wyoming. AS soon
as he heard of the vacancy he teIe-
graphed his application on to Wash
ington, applying to Senator Warren
who. at that time, was on his way to
this city His appointment, as already
telegraphed, is regarded as quite GER
tain. Senator Warren went away
quite we'll convinced that it was assur-
ed. He is claiming that something is
due Wyoming, as her consular appoint
ment was taken away recently, when
a consul at Prague resigned.

Frank Keller who was very sick at the
hotel last week, recovered SO as to ac-
company his sister, Margaret, who came

Frank Robertson of Hinsdale, senior
member of the firm of Robertson
Brothers paper mill at Fullers dam, has
had the underbrush cut out and trees
trimmed beside the road between here

view of approaching teams which, on this
narrow, winding road, has been great
danger, especially from automobiles, and
makes the road lighter by night.
+. L. Stone Of Amherst. Mass, has set
tied the suit for damages which y. y.
Kingsley of Ashuelot brought against him
for damages suffered by Mr.. Kingsley,
by Mr.. Stone Selling and impounding sew
eral of Mr.. Kingsey's horses which had
strayed onto Mr.. Stones property at
Chesterfield a year ago last summer. The
case was to have come up at the April
term of the superior court at Keene but
was continued al Mr.. Stones request to
.this October term. He settled Monday,
preventing the case coming to trial.
An apparently well-founded rumor Is in
circulation here that the James S. Gill
estate has sold the large wooden mill here
to Hugh Sheriden of Great Darlington,
Mass. and that the mill will soon be in
active operation, but nothing definite can
be secured here. The following copied
from the Great harrington items in Mon
days Springfield Republican is the most
authentic statement now at hand: Hugh
Sheriden, who for the past six years has
operated the wooden mill al Great Bar
rington, is to leave about Dec. l, and will
| locate in Ashuelot n. H., where he has
| bought from the James S. Gill estate a
| large wooden mill. The purchase was
made through Louis B. Harding of Bos-
| ton. Mr. Sheridens lease expires Jan. 1
| The mill at Great harrington employs
about 200 hands and its shutting down for
| a time means considerable loss" Mr.
| Sheriden is a practical and successful
wooden manufacturer of several years
| experience and it is fortunate for the
place that he has secured these mills
| Another period of prosperity is conf
| IDENTIFY expected similar to that under tho
| Turner and Thayer control.

for David Henry Lewis, eX-cashier of the
defunct Farmers National bank of YER

measure of popular sympathy for Lewis.
That portion of The Messengers editorial
reprinted by The Phoenix, when taken
alone, may convey some such impression
to the casual reader but if The Phoenix
reprinted the whole of the editorial it

paper in no uncertain language expressed

the phrase, are entitled to no more SYM

Lewis that might be saved to usefulness
and that it was the duty of manly men
to make every reasonable endeavor to
save 1t.

to be the end of all that is good in him

will witness a wonderful development OF
these resources. Let the coming years
decide whether or not Vermont is on the
decline.
