A Much Needed Improvement.

The selectmen of Ripton have at last
taken step in the right direction in re-
building the bridge near j. Ii. Gees by
putting in permanent stone structure
twenty feet wide, fifty-four feet long on
top and eighteen feet high at the highest
point, that will last for centuries, at a
cost of about Sl25, against an expend-
ture of from $50 to S75 for wood every
ten or twelve years.
During the work no serious accident
occurred, but narrow escape from in
slant death was had on the 2ith inst,
when the work was nearing completion.
Walter, son of \. A. Fletcher, the over
seeing selectman, who was standing on
the upper end of the structure, made a
misstep and fell backward into the gorge,
twelve or fifteen feet below, and struck
among mass of poles. rocks and brush
and escaped with few bruises and a
shaking up. The old structure has been
a menace to life and limb for years.

sradstreet's Vermont Report.

There are no material changes to re-
port in the business situation in Vermont !:
the manufacturing establishments are as
a rule well employed and nothing partic-
ularly unfavorable is heard from any
manufacturing center. The volume of
retail trade is reported satisfactory and
collections fair. The season is now well
enough advanced to report on the agrl-
cultural situation; taken as whole it is
considered that the crops will fall cOnsid-
erably below the average, but prices are
firm and the situation is improved when
the prosperous condition of the creamer-
les and the large crop of maple sugar are
taken into consideration. The labor sit
uation Is practically unchanged from last
week. There is a great scarcity of hard
coal, the supply having been practically
exhausted. A large portion of the coal
used in the northern part of the state
passes through the hands of the Burling-
ton dealers who are entitled to praise for
not being disposed to advance the price.
The wholesale dealers in staple goods
find the demand good and collections fair
while the retail business Is reasonably
satisfactory
In Barre the stone sheds are busy bus
mess is satisfactory at Wells River.
ST. Johnsbury reports considerable
activity in the manufacturing lines. The
stone shed in Hardwick is busy and gen
eral business conditions satisfactory
Newport reports manufacturing concerns
doing the usual amount of business, re-
tall trade and collections good but agric-
ultural crops below the average. Island
Pond reports manufacturing interests
well employed and retail trade fair The
manufacturing concerns in Bennington
are reported as generally busy, retail
trade good Business is fairly good in
all lines at St. Adams. Reports are
favorable at Bellows Falls, retail trade is
active but collections said little slow

RAILROADS TO OBEY
No More Secret Rates in
Packers Favor.
Western Lines and Packing Houses Join Hands
TO Comply With the, interstate 1cm-

fBy the Associated Press


Chicago, Jan. 22.-Presidents of Wes-
tern railroads and all the big packing
houses interests west of Chicago to the
Missouri river, have joined hands with
a view of assisting each other to obey
the provisions of the Interstate Com
MERGE law.
The alliance was completed at a meet
ing held here today, at which were pres
ent high officials representing ali the in
terests involved, and it is expected that
the action taken will result in an abso-
lutte maintenance of freight rates on
hacking house products and dressed beef
from the Missouri river to the Atlantic
scaboard.
The two conferences here between the
packing house people and the railroad
presidents. followed an assurance re-
ccived from the Interstate Commerce
Commission that action of this character
would result in the commission ceasing
it's effort to punish the packers for VIC
lations of the law AS condition prece-
dent to dropping the threatened proseeu-
ton. the commission insisted that the
secret rates that are being made on
racking house products and dressed peer
be abolished and that the published rates
be maintained absolutely.
The agreement provides that the rates
that are actually being made shall be
published, that the railroads shall upon
no pretense grant lower than published
rates, that the packing house represen
tatives shall cease their efforts to Sc
cure cut rates.
