The demand for labor noted last week
continues active and is still feature in
the Industrial situation here. Reports
from the marble, slate and lumber dis
tricts indicate unsual activity, and pros
poets for these lines of business are ex-
ceptionally bright. 1t is understood
that the granite cutters at Barre and
vicinity are preparing new schedule of
wages to take effect in March next when
the present scedule ends. This will pro-
badly lead to more or less conference
with the manufacturers, but of late
there has been a disposition on the part
of those interested to effect Sc elements
without delay to the business. Retail
trade are reported good with almost no
exception. There is the usual demand
with the wholesalers who find collections
reasonably satisfactory. The lower tenn
perature will have favorable effect
upon business in general. Business in
Burlingtoni is practically unchanged from
last week. Retail trade is good and
there is the usual distribution of stock
by the obbers. Collections, while not
very prompt. indicate that there are suffi-
Client funds available for ordinary bust
ness transactions. The farmers in Grand
Isle county appear successful, although
the apple crop, which is one of the prin-
cipal crops in the county, is largely a
failure this year. The merchants have
not derived so much benefit from the
new railroad as have other lines of in
dustry, because the patronage goes to
Burlington to considerable extent.
Manufacturing interests are well en-
ployed and very prosperous at Rutland.
The marble industry was never more pros
porous, and the scale works are crowded
with orders. Retail trade very good,
collections satisfactory.
The local machinists' strike is still un.
settled. The organ business and other
factories are doing well in Brattleboro.
! Retail trade good, collections a little
slow. Everybody is reported to be
working at Wallngford. Merchants
are having a good trade and collections
good. business conditions in all depart
ments are satisfactory in Springfield.
The machine shops and other business
houses are active. Manufacturing inter-
ests are well employed in Montpelier and
collections are good. The slate business
is very active at West Pawlet. Retail
trade and collections satisfactory. Man
ufacturers are all at work at Barton
Retail trade better than in October
Collections far.
Poultney reports that the condition Of
manufacturing business was never better
than at the present time. Retail trade

Bloodhound After Bank Robbers

The robbers who broke into the bank
in Orwell Wednesday morning are still
at liberty. 1t is supposed they made
their escape by driving to Whitehall
with team which was stolen from
man named Norton, who resides in the
southwest part of the town, and there
taking the train, on which they travelled
as far as Fort Edward, where all trace
of them was lost. The team of Mr.
Norton was found at blacksmith shop
at Whitehall about o'clock in the morn
ing. Thursday afternoon about > o'clock
a man who lives a short distance north
of Benson village was held up by two
men who are thought to have been the
burglars. The men drove the horse a
short distance, when he baked, and they
left the vehicle and took to the woods.
Word was sent to the authorities at
Orwell, and posse with bloodhound
started in pursuit. At last accounts no
word had been received from them
The robbers, before breaking into the
bank, also visited the stables of 7. Dun
don and 7. j. Murphy and took sledge
hammer, wrench, buttress and chlsel,
all of which were found at the bank.
They also visited the stables of 7. d.
Lewis and Daniel Cain, where they
secured the blankets and robes which
were used to deaden the sound of the eX-
plosion. An expert has been sent for to
open the safe, and it is expected he will
arrive in day or two. The bank sue
ceeded in borrowing money with which
to carry on its business until the safe is

sure shown by what Supt. Hambrecht
says of him: "Mr. Falch has proven
himself marked success and given
excellent satisfaction as a teacher.
In fact we regard him as being one of
the best teachers we have had for a
number of years. His methods are
practical and he gets the very best
results from his pupils. Besides
teaching, Mi. Falch has acted in the
capacity of assistant to the city super
intendent in which capacity he has
shown good business sense and a re-
liability that was truly helpful. l
have no heSitancy whatever in COM
mending him to any position requiring
a good business sense and executive
capacity. The Board of Education of
Grand Rapids reelected Mr. Falch as
teacher in the city schools at an ad-
vance in salary"
We consider him well prepared for
such position, and the fact that he
is acquainted with the German, Nor
wegian and Swedish languages adds
greatly to his fitness for the place.
His candidacy should receive favorab BILE
consideration at the hands Of the
Republicans throughout the county.

trict school at Wood Lake, Wis, until
he was twelve years old. Being de-
sirous of obtaining a college educa-
tiOn, at his own expense, he went to
Minneapolis, Mimi, in October. 1888.
Here he secured employment as errand
boy in an office. A few months later
an opportunity was offered to enter a
printing office, and he then resolved
to learn the printers trade. He
worked steadily as a printer three
years and in 1891 became foreman of

school one year. He was graduated
in 1896, and after teaching one more
year, entered Beloit College in the
fall of 1897 During the four years at
college Mr., Falch more than earned
his way, the trade he had learned
being often great help. In 1901 he
was graduated from BelOit College

the president and professors of the
college testify that Mr.. Falch was
always an earnest and faithful student.
Since graduation he has secured a
life state certificate from the state
superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Falch has always been interest
ed in literary work and athletics.
During his school career he was editor
