MIR. Spears Appointment.

The friends OF Hon. Victor !. Spear OF
Randolph are extending congratulations
on his appointment by Cows Mccullough
as chairman and secretary OF the new cat
tie commission provided under the Rus
sell tuberculosis act just passed.
The commission consists of one practi-
cal farmer and two veterinaries. Mr..
Spear was selected as the farmer, and the
veterinaries are DIR. Rich of Burlington
and DR.. Stephens of Hartford. These vet
erinaries have had much experience in
cattle testing, especially DIR. Rich, who has
probably tested more COWS than any other
two men in Vermont.
The appointment came to Mr.. Spear alto
gether unsought, unexpected and unde-
sired. He has hesitated about accepting,
but under the urgent solicitation of the
governor and others, will probably do so.
He is well equipped for the responsible
ties OF the position, and has wide expe-
rience in this very line OF work. He was
a member Of the State Board OF Agricul-
ture from 1890 to 1898. The board served
as cattle commissioners after ~, and in
'94, after the tuberculosis act was passed,
took up the work of testing Mr.. Spear
had entire charge of this department the
last two years of his membership, and
conducted it with satisfaction to nearly
all the parties involved. His restoration
to the commission was especially desired
by Gov. Mccullough, who appreciated the
need Of having Trustworthy man, with
experience, to lead off in the administra-
tlOn OF the new law.
Mr. Spear win retain his residence and
Office here. also his connection with the
Maple Sugar Exchange. His work viii
be largely correspondence and in the way
OF directing the tests. If there should be
the anticipated rush for testing, the two
veterinaries will have their hands more
than full. The new law goes into effect
Jan. LIST, and several applications for the
test have already been received. The COM
pensation is 50 per day and expenses alto
gether too little for an Office OF such re-
sponsibility.

their long home and after that event Mrs.
Tarbox resided at Randolph Center with
her two widowed sisters, Mrs. Susan obi
orne and Mrs. Deborah Washburn, where
the evening of her days was happily spent
amid the familiar scenes Of her childhood
and among lifelong friends who loved
and respected her for the many charms Of
character which she possessed. After a
short sickness of only nine days, she died
Nov. 20, 1902. Many were present Nov. p

loved member, when the burial service
was read over her remains by Rev. Homer
White, who had been her rector for nearly
ten years. She was laid to rest among her
kindred in the beautiful old cemetery at
Randolph Center and will long be sincere
ly mourned by the many friends and
neighbors to whom she had endeared her
self by her cheerful and pleasant manners,

The Fuel Problem.

While Randolph is not yet suffering
acutely because of the coal famine, II IS
causing great deal OF anxiety and
trouble. Less than a tenth of the usual
amount of coal has been brought in here
this season. r. A. Thomas, l.. B. John
son. w. b. Wall, VIM. Tracy, Willard
Cav and j. w. Gabrielle have each been
fortunate in securing carload, at prices
ranging from sS.25 10 80 ton, laid down
here. The two dealers, l.. Il. Sparhawk
and NJ. NJ. Wilson, have only been able
to get two carloads apiece, which they
have distributed in small lots at about
$40 ton. The worst is that the situation
does not seem to mend. The lake is
frozen and what comes hereafter mustcome
via New London, which makes it expen-
sive The whole country is crying for
coal, and Vermont, which is commonly
supposed to be i'm a wood section, gets
the short end of the available coal supply
when il is sent out.
No soft coal has been used here for
heating purposes, people preferring to
burn wood. Most OF the furnaces are
using wood, which necessitates constant
attention and does not yield the best
results. Wood, too, is very costly, selling
at 81 per solid cord, and even hil her
sometimes. Green wood is being cut in
large quantities, but is not yet in market.
Its price will not be materially higher
than usual
The severe weather OF the past week
has made heavy inroads on the fuel in
hand, and people have shivered who are
not accustomed to.

Return From Trip 70 Alaska.

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. l.. Washburn ar
rived in Vermont last week from Alaska
in usual good health after a trip, since
March last, extending over 5000 miles,
10000 of which were from San Francisco
through Alaska, by rail TO Seattle, thence
BY boat 10 Skaguay, from thence by rail
TO White Horse, and from thence by boat
through rivers and lakes to Dawson, and
then down the Yukon to Nome and St
Michaels, says an Underhill correspon-
dent.
Mr.. Washburn took a side trip on the
Koyukuk river, stream running from
the north into the Yukon, of about 60C
crossed the Arctic circle ten times. In
June, during the longest day OF the year,
happening to be on the Yukon flats near
Fort Yukon, they had the rare privilege
Of seeing the sun continuously for TWEEN
ty-four hours. The sun going down
near the horizon and then beginning its
return trip. On this day they had their
pictures taken by the midnight sun.
During these days of daylight on the
arrival of boat at Dawson the papers
are cried ON the streets as at noon day
though il be long past the hour of mid
night, and the usual crowd of men,
women and children greeted the boat
at any hour during the twenty four.
The remark was made by Mrs. Wash

is almost incredible the story they bring

grees in the shade beyond the Arctic cir
Gle, brings a different impression from
that usually entertained OF this far away
country. The shortness Of the season is
seen when 1t is known that snow was
falling on the 10th of September, the day
of their departure from Dawson for San
Francisco. Twenty-Five cents is the
smallest change in circulation and the
daily papers are respectively $50 and $40
per year or 25 cents a copy. They also
