THE VERMONT PHOENIX IN 1901.
A Glance at Ten Years of Business
History and Progress.

Ten years ago the present week
the exact date was Friday, May 1 f,
1S91-The Vermont Phoenix appeared
in the quarto form, printed from new
type throughout, and with such other
changes and improvements as were
necessary to meet the requirements
of modern journalism. These changes
marked an important point in the his
tory of The Phoenix A complete new
printing plant was bought to make
the changes possible, and The Phoenix
presented itself to it's readers on that
occasion as a New Phoenix" The
change proved a wise and timely one,
and, from a business point of view, it
was even more advantageous than
could have been expected. The
growth in circulation, in volume Of
advertisements. and in all-round
strength as a newspaper during the
ten years, has been steady and continu-
Gus. and this growth has never been
more satisfactory than during the past
two or three years.
While not so marked to the eye of
the reader, changes even more radi-
cal than those of ten years ago have
been in progress in The Phoenix office
during the past six months. When
our complete outfit of new type and
other material was bought in 1891. the
purchase was made with full realiza-
tion of the fact that it might be the
last of its kind and that the next step
might probably be in the direction of
machine composition. 1t became
plainly evident more than a year ago,
after careful study of the whole ques,
tion, that newspapers which meant to
stay in the modern procession must
adopt machine composition, and it was
equally evident that the Mergenthaler
linotype was the only machine serious
ly to be considered for the best re-
suits. Decision was soon reached
to make this experiment for The
Phoenix. An order for linotype was
placed and the machine was installed
in our old Office in November last. Its
use was successful from the start. and
since the first week in January not a
stickful of hand composition has been
used IN the reading columns of the pa.
per.
In due time complete new outfit
of type and other material was bought
for our advertising columns, and dur.
ing the past few weeks it's use has
been gradually introduced. With this
weeks issue the changes are complete
and The Phoenix is today as distinctly
New Phoenix" as it was ten years
ago. The paper is issued today, as il
has been for a month past, from its
new editorial and business offices in
Crosby block, and its mechanical work
is done in its new and perfectly equip
ped composing room in the Harmony
building.
The Phoenix Job Printing Office.
Along with this growth of The Phoe
nix as a newspaper. there has beer
a growth equally great, and in severa
respects much more remarkable and
unexpected, of The Phoenix Job Print
| ing office which has been conducted
for II years past under the firm name
of f. L. Hildreth & Company, ant
managed by Mr.. Hildreth. the junior

The Latest Advance Step.

The present week has seen another
noteworthy step taken in the develop
ment of the business of the concern-the
installation of a second Mergenthaler
linotype for the use of the job printing
department. 1t was a part of the
broad plan of the Edward Crosby
heirs, in beginning their real estate
improvements last fall, to provide
quarters for The Phoenix, should they
be desired. The successful operation
of machine composition on the newspa-
per soon convinced the firm of E. L.
Hildreth & Co. that the only course
was to join the ranks of other enter
prising and successful job printers
who were using machine composition.
Early in February an order was filed
for a second linotype. Coincident
with this came the decision to move
The Phoenix to its present quarters
so that the two machines might be
operated together to the best advan-
tage. The second book Office limo
type arrived from the Brooklyn factory
last Saturday, and on Wednesday

Pre-Memorial Day.

In view of the near approach of
another Memorial day, Walter E. Ran
ger, the state superintendent of edu-
ction, calls attention to the fact that
the laws of Vermont require that "ti,
last half days session of the public
schools before Memorial day shall be
devoted to exercises commemorative
of the history of this nation during the
war of the rebellion and to patriotic
instruction in the principles of liber-
ty and the equal rights of man." This
"Pre-Memorial" dav observance offers
a fitting time for commemoration of
the lives of those who have done most
for our country, with an opportunity
to impress upon the minds of the
young the lessons of patriotism taught
by noble lives and deeds. The state
superintendent will soon issue a cir
cular with suggestions for the OBJ
servance of the day.

Pious John Rockerfellers Standard
oil trust has throttled the threatened
competition in Texas by buying the
wharves, railroad terminals and ship
ping facilities at Port Arthur. the nat
ural shipping port of the Beaumont
field where immense wells have been
struck. with 10000 acres of land so To-
Gated as probably to preclude any at
tempt of the Texas oil men to estab-
lish new outlet. 1t will not be
profitable for them to ship their oil
to tide water at more distant point,
hence they are at the mercy of the
trust, and must sell their product to it
at its own price.

The first collection ever published
of the orations and addresses delivered
by Edward J. Phelps, eX-Minister to
the Court of St. James's, will come
from the press OF Harper & Brothers
early in May. \ memoir of Mr.
Phelps has been furnished by John w
Stewart. former governor of Vermont
1t is not expected that the material
thus brought together will throw any
new light upon the political and diplo-
matte questions with which Mr.. Phelps
was identified; as literature, however,
and as enlightened and judicial views
of such international questions as the
Bering Sea affair and the Monroe
Doctrine. these speeches form interest
ing and inspiring foot-notes to Ameri-
can history and policy which we think
no American can read without some
benefit

The Cuban commissioners made
their farewell call upon the President
Saturday, when they expressed the
hope that reciprocal trade relations
would be established between Cuba
and the United States. The President
told them the first questions to be
settled were the formation of a gov
ernment and provision for political
relations with the United States. AT
ter that is done and Cuba has a gov
ernment capable of making treaties,
he will appoint commissioners to meet
representatives of the Cuban govern
ment to negotiate a commercial
treaty. The commissioners were i'm
pressed profoundly with the democra-
cy of this great government and with
the cordial treatment they received.
1t is believed that on their return to
Havana the commissioners will
recommend the adoption of provisions
substantially the same as those in the
Platt amendment.

morning May 1, it went into commits
sion to do the type-setting for the
large line of periodical, book and PAM

a complete equipment for this purpose
and we hope for the best results from
their use here, as in other similarly
equipped offices, not only for ourselves
but for our customers.
We shall take pleasure in showing
our friends at any time a well-housed,
well-equipped, and well-employed 1901
