Bradstreet's says Trade adyices
are rather more cheerful. This applies
AZ much to current retail business,
which has been enlarged by wintry
weather, as ii does to opening spring
trade, which finds stimulation in tho
general condolences felt as to the out
look for the coming year. Prices show
exceptional strength, all things con-
sidered, the one weak spot being raw
cotton, which shares, the rather I'M
satisfactory tone manifested by the
cotton goods and yarn markets.
Foreign demand for our breadstuffs has
been rather better, and this is reflected
IN heavy exports, particularly Of corn.
Especially cheerful reports come
from the shoe and leather, the lumber
and the iron trades, the strength of
prices of the latter having been in
creased by the talk of pending consoli-
CATIONS, although the volume OF bust
ness is restricted from the same cause.
Failures are smaller than OF late, and
current railroad earnings show large
gains over good returns OF year ago.
Taken as whole, the outIoik Is
that the present yesr Will BE- a much
more favorable one that was 1900, when
manufacturers and jobb rs alike suf-
fered from overstucks. Bank clearings

GOV. VAN SAINTS MESSAGE


Gentlemen CT the Senate and House of
Representatives: Having taken the oath
or office as prescribed by law, l desire
before entering upon the discharge of my
duties, to acknowledge my profound
gratitude for the great honor conferred
upon me, and in return promise the eX-
ercise of my best Judgment coupled with
an honest purpose to faithfully serve the
people Of the state. While the legislative
and executive branches of the state
government are separate and independ-
eht of each other, yet, by our mutual CO.
operation and the exercise of cur united
energies, at all times working in har-
mony. the. best interests of the state will
. be served.
At the very commencement of the task
3. before US, il is well TO consider the ques-
ton of securing the necessary funds to
defray the expenses OF the state govern
ment. State Auditor Dunn in his report
makes an estimate of the receipts from
all sources of the biennial period Such
estimate is based on tax levy of 1.5
mills. During the first year the sum
amounts to 1898, 1890 and for the sec
ond year s., 1920; the disbursements
Tor the +. tlr st year, 900, and for the
second $4,000 leaving balance for
the first year of $249 1920, and for the
second SiSi, 4Sz0-a balance for the bien-
NAL period of s444, 4S6: This balance is
available for new buildings, extraordi-
nary repairs and improvements for the
correctional charitable institutions, uni
VerSity, normal schools, etc. This amount
IN the estimation of our state auditor
under the most favorable circumstances
could not be increased to more than
SSVo,ON for the purposes mentioned with
OUT increasing the tax levy This should
not be done. and l urge you to practice
the strictest economy and the most care
Tul investigation Of every appropria ton
presented for your consideration.

than they thought.
Only an hour before, settler,
returning late from a visit to his
traps, brought the unwelcome
news that there were Indians be-
tween the settlement and Jack
sons camp; SO 20 of the best fight
ers in the town Immediately start
ed to meet the young people,
whom they knew were liable to
be attacked. And it was we'll
they did.
Jim had thrown the wolf skins
and blankets over the girls and
his wounded comrades, and was
stretched out full length on the
floor of the rack, peppering away
at their pursuers as rapidly as he
could load. Jackson was lashing
the now faltering horses, and they
were making their last grand spurt
in that terrible race, when loud
shouts broke on the crisp night
air, and a score of mounted men
dashed past them on either side,
while their rifles belched forth the
sweetest music that ever greeted
the ears of luckless mortals.
Those of the savages who were
not killed turned their horses
heads and endeavored to reach
the sheltering forest; but seven Of
the band were left dead or mortal
ly wounded The rest escaped.
AS the chances of overtaking the
fleeing savages were extremely
small, owing to the deep darkness
of the wood, the settlers returned
to the friends, whom their timely
arrival had undoubtedly saved
from a horrible death, and were
met by Jackson, who remarked in
his characteristic style
"I'll back those horses against
any band of Indian ponies 'twixt
here and Montreal"
The news of the young folks
miraculous escape spread like wild
fire throughout the settlement and
the fathers and mothers, especial
ly those whose daughters had
been participants in the exciting
race. loudly praised the heroic
conduct of Simon Jackson and the
other boys, blessing the day that
the Morgan horses first saw the
sun in the Green Mountain State.
Several years after this stirring
event the war of 1912 broke out.
Simon Jackson and Jim Watson
were among the first to join the
army, and their deeds of reckless
daring, under the leadership of
that grand old revolutionary vete-
ran, Col. Isaac Clark, were told in
after years at many hearthstone.
Even now, nearly century after,
their descendants delight in re-
telling the tales of their brilliant
acts on hill and plain. But to
themselves, their wives and child
rem, for they both married their
companions of the memorable hay
rack ride, the memory of the race
on that moonlight night in March,
with those foam hecked horses
running as horses never ran be-
fore, remained with them more
vividly than any of the many
| wonderful scenes that came with
their after lives.
