COUNTY AND VICINITY.


Henry A. Willard of Washington, d..
c., a Westminster boy, whose wife is "A
sister of Judge Daniel Kellogg, has
presented to the Garfield Memorial
hospital of Washington, large foun
tain and two life-sz statues. AT the
recent graduating exercises of the
school for nurses connected with that
institution, Mis-. John a. Logan ac-
knowledged these gifts in an address
during which she paid this tribute to
Mr.. and Mrs. willard, who she said
had bestowed many other benefactions
upon the institution in such an unos-
tentatious manner that few outside of
the management had known of their
bounteous charity The purity of the
spotles3 marble of the statues appro
priately typefes the stainless charac
ter and pure lives of the donors, whose
noble natures have ever inspired them
to innumerable deeds of kindness that
the world knows not of. Their ears
have never been deaf to the cries of
the unfortunate for help" Mr. Will
lard, who is vice president of the board
of trustees, responded with an inter
eSting address, tracing the growth of
the institution from its inception.

And now there is row in Dummer-
ston over the action of the caucus
which chose Proctor delegates Satur-
day night. The ballot boX--a cigar
box was kept open till the chairman
believed there were enough Proctor
ballots in to give that ticket, when the
box was Topped, the result proclaimed,
Proctor delegates declared elected and
the caucus snapped against the other
fellows coming in. How is that for
snap caucus THE Montpelier Journal.
Why, that is the vermont idea,
originated at Proctor, expounded at
ST. Adams and illustrated on various
occasions. Rutland Herald.
There is not word of truth in the
above item. The date and time of the
Dummerston caucus was announced
six days in advance by mutual agree
ment of the town committee, McCul-
Tough and Proctor men agreeing. The
box was open the specified time and all
who arrived in season were permitted
to vote. There is no dissatisfaction in
d ummerston-but possibly some dis
appointment

The Gubernatorial Outlook

To-day it looks more than ever az
though General Mccullough would &C
into the sta e convention with a cleal
majority. AS will be seen from our de-
tailed report on the first page of to-
days Reformer, caucuses have already
been held in 156 towns and 470 dele.
gates have been elected. OF this num-
Der General Mccullough has secured
There are still 80 towns to be heard
from with 260 delegates, and of
these towns it is conceded on all
sides that Clement will carry the
larger ones as follows: Burlington
ST Adams, ST. Johnsbury, Ches-
ter, Hartford, Ludlow, Brandon,
Springfield and Woodstock with total
delegation of 81. These added to the
ll6 delegates he now has give Clement
173 votes in the convention about
double the number prophesied by the
widest enthusiasts in the beginning,
and sufficient to insure the complete
smashing of the Vernon Republican
machine and referendum bill if not
a high license law this fall OF course
Clement may not carry all the towns
above mentioned, but if not he still
has chance and likelihood of carry
ing enough of the others to maintain
these figures. Deducting 173 as Glenn
ent's strength from the grand total of
72S delegates it leaves 800 to be divid
ed between Proctor and NJ -Cullough,
and of this number Proctor has pa
while Mccullough has 22S-a total of
352 with 203 still in the open. If Nc
Cullough's lieutenants maintain or
anywhere near maintain the pace they
practically two to one against
will secure at least $50
of the remaining delegates-or total
of 1913 and the nomination at the con
vention. How much inside trading has
been done--like that at Jamaica where
a combination was made on the second
ballot as the only means of defeating
Clements uncertain. but it should |
not alter the figures greatly, as both |
sides will expect equal advantages
from any trades made.

such thing could happen. 1t is the

the following item in connection with

The world will join IN the shout of
rejoicing that goes up from British
homes and from Boer prison camps-a
great cry of thankfulness for the end
of the horror and bloodshed of a long
iand desperate war. The Beers fought
flor independence and made the bray
est struggle in the history of patriot
iaHm England, who began the war for
W'he gold fields and great farming
lands, fought at last for the vindica-
ton of her national prestige, the
boosted characteristic of a proud peo-
pie. That she has retained a shred of
it should not be regretted by her
worst foes: for she has paid dearly for
her victory with the lives of thousands
of her best men and millions of dol
lars, and she has granted the Beers
every possible concession-except the
independence they fought for. The
Beers must return to ruined homes
and empty places: they have lost
what they would have died to main
tain, but they made brave fight and
surrendered only when defeat was in
evitable. Their submission is no dis
grace to them. BY their stubborn con-
tinuance of the struggle they won i'm
portant concessions from the British
concessions refused them in the
terms offered a year ago. The Trans |
vaal and Orange River republics have /
been wiped off the map of South AT !
RIGA and in their places are British .
colonies to be ruled by British admin
istrators; Great Britain's supremacy
south of the Zambesi is undisputed.
But though the Beers have lost the
right to say who shall be citizens of
their country and share in their gov
eminent, they may, if peace is honor
ably observed, win the same measure
of individual independence as the Ca
and Australians have under
the British flag. The Beers have
shown themselves brave and sincere
men in war They will be good and /,
faithful citizens in peace. They will
now, without doubt, set sturdily to
work to build up their broken homes
and to make the most of what is left

Then he emptied can with the Phoenix man

When Percy Clement saw the race
He thought twas free for all.

On account of his terrible gall
For he shook the grand old party up
In most distressful way.

For many and many a day.

The Proctor snap caucus at Brattle-
boro was loaded. 1t proved to be a
Clement caucus after all. The com
bined efforts of federal ofiiceholders and
the persuasive eloquence of the es-
teemed Phoenix failed to carry the
town for Proctor. The caucus was
called early because it was a sure
enough Proctor town and moral in
tluence on other towns in the county
was wanted. The county will now have
to go without moral influence, we sup

Editor Reformer. Respectable Re
publican voters in Jamaica are dis
guSted with the methods used to elect
Proctor delegates. The largest caucus
in this town for many years was held
this afternoon. Although called for at
30 p. m. no business was done until
considerably after 3 o'clock and not
until the Proctorites had found among
their voters a few prohibition cranks
who were willing to make noise enough
to allow a favored few to elect a chair
man of the Tammany hall type. I'm
der the rule adopted by the state com
mittee the majority of the voters in
the caucus understood that the prefer.
ences of that committee would be re-
spected and that plurality vote would
elect delegates But while the noisy
Proctorites continued their arguments
their chairman mumbled a resolution
heard and understood only by the ia
vored few that the majority rule be
adopted. This resolution passed.
Not content with the tricks known
and generally used in Vermont the
Proctorites adopted some South Caro-
lima methods. Several Republican
voters who had previously expressed a
preference for Clement were refused
right to vote in the caucus In one or
two instances out of the state voters
with but a few weeks residence in
Vermont to their credit were allowed
to vote by our Tammany chairman af-
ter an adverse decision by the commit
tee appointed to consider the right
and proper voters in the caucus.

ballots which explains itself. Was
there a fusion ticket?

Is NOT CREDITED.

A report emanating from New
York the first of the week in effect
that the United States Steel com
pany has deal on for the acquisi:
tion of the Great Northern iron ore
lands on the Mesaba on a royalty
basis. is not given general credence
among range mining men.
While the mining world is ignor.
ant of the amount of tonnage prov.
en- on lands controlled by the North.
ern Securities company it is con.
sidered that through the Great
Northern it controls upwards of a
quarter billion tons of ore, placing
it easily at the head of independent
operators. The object of the road
in acquiring ore lands, primarily
was to secure the haulage of ore
and it is deemed unlikely that the
road will either relinquish it's ore
carrying privileges or it's leases at
this time. 1t is more proba BILE that
explorations will be continued and
as new properties are proven turned
into the hands of operators on a
minimum output royalty basis.

did not begin shipping the first
year until late in the fall and sent
only 56,O31 tons to market. The out.
put for last year was 666O0O tons
