To THE REGISTER: The tremendous
depreciation In the value of farming land
in the eastern portion of the United
States within few years (and nowhere
is the great change that has come to ag-
ricultural interests more apparent than
in VermonD, is causing much discussion,
thus far in quiet way, of the injustice of
levying taxes according to system pro-
pounded many years ago, when condi-
lions were entirely different from What
they now are. Twenty years ago, when
the tax law" now in force here became
law, land was an important wealth
producer. and could properly be taken
as the base of taxation. Farmers of Yer
mont now get out of their land little
more than bare subsistence, and farms
may be purchased for one half their
former price and value. Other means
than those now in force for general taxa
ton must soon be established.

To THE REGISTER: The trout fishing
at Lake Dunmore is not as good this
year as formerly. If our precious fish
commissioners continue their present
plan and catch the trout on the spawn
ing beds annually and strip them of
thousands and hundreds of thousands of
eggs, how long will it be before the lake
famous for Its trout since the days of
the Green Mountain Boys will contain
nothing better than rockbass and
suckers? The state has "hatchery" at
Rox5ury that has cost to build and
maintain forty or fifty thousand dollars
possibly it might sell If put up at auc.
ton for nine or ten hundred dollars, Sc
wise has been the administration of af.
fairs), and the fish commissioners had
better confine their experiments to that
and leave our native trout alone. Some
day we may have some rational fish and
game laws, but the prospect is not at.

your letter of April 18th, which was fol-
lowed by my visit to your place.
Under date of April 30th, Prof. Bryant
asks-"Will you please tell me if you
can come here to act as engineer in
charge of our proposed water supply
system? If so, what will be your price
and how soon can you Gomez On the
2nd of May Prof. Bryant writes-"If
possible will you please come here for a
few days next week, getting here as
early on Monday as you can" OF these
letters the former reached my hand
on the morning of May 2nd, too late for
reply by mail then due, and the latter
was received by special delivery in the
evening of same day. May Sd | wrote
in reply to these letters, as follows:
"Relative to the proposal to take
charge of the construction of your
system of water supply;-if called upon
to reply definitely Just now | should be
obliged to decline the work, but L will

ton and reply at the earliest possible

render 1t impossible for me to visit Mid

sible that can arrange for Wednesday
or Thursday 18th or 9th inst.) if desired"
On Tuesday, May eth, Prof. Bryant
wired-"Come Wednesday or Thursday,
if possible, Wednesday preferable" As
my work in the cemetery was still in
complete it was impossible for me to
comply with the request to be in Middle
bury next day, so | wired in answer that
| could give you three days commence
ing Saturday or Monday" 9th or 18th
inst.). TO this requested answer and
on the 9th Prof. Bryant kindly wired
"IIsve made other arrangements; nee d
not come" Thus endeth the history.
Condensed, it simply means that had
made arrangements to undertake your
work and my services were open for en-
gagement up to the lst week in April
when, not being engaged, the claims of
other parties were recognized and calls
from your place could not be responded
to at immediate notice. | should have
been pleased to have undertaken your
work, although fully realize the great
responsibility incurred in its proper per-
formance. Will you kindly show this to

A WAsrED OPPORTUNITY.

1t is stated that the floral establishment of
the grounds connected with stations of the
Boston Il Maine railroad Will be more elabo.
rate and profuse during the coming
season than ever before. Every depot which
has suitable plot of ground on each divi.
sion OF the owned and leased lines will have
Its flower beds, and as the station agents will
have the incentive of prize competition in
addition to their pride and natural taste, the
whole road will blossom with beauty. The
road has ordered $4,000 towering plants of
the first quality.
The above Item is being reprinted in
the state press. AS far as we know, the
only station along the Rutland railroad
which has even approximately well-kept
grounds is that at Shelburne, and it is
popularity believed that DR.. Webb pays
for that. The Rutland is advertised as a
great "scenic route" and bid Is made
for summer travel on that ground. 1t is
true that this road passes through the
finest scenery to be found anywhere in
the country. But the Rutland company
pays nothing for that; Nature makes no
work. 1t is when the trains stop at sta
tions that the passengers have the chance
to compare the liberality and taste of
nature with the same qualities in the
railway company. At the Middlebury
station, for instance, there is strip of
land reaching from the Seymour street
crossing to the baggage-house near the
depot. 1t is alongside this strip that the
north bound parlor coaches bearing the
summer tourists come to stop. Having
Toasted their eyes on the glorious land
scape-work of Nature, these tourists
naturally expect to find that man lin
this case typified in the railway COM
pany) has made some effort to emulate so
brilliant an example. What they see is a
long patch of weeds mixed with paper
scraps, bones and other flotsam. Then
they wonder at the wasted opportunity.
Of course, if they get of the train at
Middlebury, as many of them do, they
quickly change their minds when they
pass from the railways property to the
neat pavements and wel-kept roads of
the village, and catch sight of the beauti-
full public parks and private grounds,
But If they are of two minds about stop
ping at any village along the Rutland
road, the ill-kept depot grounds certainly
will not encourage them to venture from
the trains.
During the past few years Middlebury
has made great strides toward beautify-
ing her public property. 1t is a pity
that the railway can not be induced to
cooperate.

The Pretoria CORES pOndent of the Lon
don Times thinks that the British army
in South Africa Is stale. Something is
the matter when 250,000 and more well
equipped soldiers cannot drive 2O,000
men from the country. What the Times
correspondent has to say is interesting
enough: "Where is the wonted alacrity
of the British soldiers? Not IN those
gaunt, listless men, whose staring eyes
seem to ask the monotonOus question,
which you hear from every man you
meet, when will it iinish?' And is it
a matter for surprise! For Is months
have those men been vigorously employed.
There has been no respite, no settling down
into winter quarters, in this extraordinary
and unprecedented campaign. These
are the men who chased Cronie from
before Kimberley; followed Botha from
kroonstadt to Pretoria: spent the win
ter months on their way to komati Poort
marched down to Fouriesberg, then
trekked YEARLY across the Orange River
Colony until they struck the railway
were then whisked up to the north
again; marched and fought for another
500 miles; reached another railroad
communication, to be whirled back to
the Orange Colony; another tedious trek
and fruitless chase after De Wet, then
back to the comfortless train, until they
had lost count of time, of place and
hour. Is 1t surprising that both officer:
and men are stale; that the senior
officers dare not commit them to The
risks that fresher men would undertake
with Willingness This is the true his
tory of the many bitter disappointment
during the past few months. The army
wants rest"
