RECENT DEATHS
jefferson Chase. Inventor. Native OF
Vermont, Dies in Maine.

Mr.. Jefferson Chase, the wellknown in
ventor, died in Portland. Me-. Tuesday
May 90 He was born in Concord, Vt, July
"a. 1881. The interest in machinery Is
family inheritance, Mr.. Chase's father,
John Dennison Chase. having invented the
first all iron and steel circular-saw mill
ever made in New England. The son at an
early age showed tAat he would follow in
the fathers footsteps, for the boy was al
ways at work upon some piece OF machin-
cry, and since his twenty-fifth birthday he
has taken out thirty -four patents. Mi.
Chase was for many years associated with
his father and a brother Dennison Chase,
under the firm name Of the Chase Turbine
Manufacturing company. The Chase water
wheel was first introduced to the public
by J. u. Chase e Sons in 1855 and grew
rapidly into favor. Among other patents
received by this company are the auto
matte shingle and heading machine, lever
set circuar-saw. travelling bed planer, au-
tomato growing machine, slef-shippins
ower-feed saw machine. larn machine and
bolter. and many others. The year OF the
centennial Mr.. Chase was at Philadelphia
exhibiting his rotary-saw MILL single ma
chine and water wheel. While there he
became very much interested in the paper
pals which were exhibited by man from
Ohio. These pals were made by sheets OF
paper being wound around a block, and
the idea struck Mr.. Chase that If paper
pals could be made. why not use wood
pulp instead, and in 1893. with the help OF
his son. Mr.. William L. Chase, who had
at that time just graduated at the Tech
ncal school at Worcester, the first wood
pulp pals, tubs, etc. were made. Mr.
William L. Chase became so much inter
ested in these manufactures that he In
vented the machines which made the pals
He was the eldest son of Mr.. Jefferson
Chase, and was one of the unfortunate vic
tins of the steamer Portland disaster.

Outlook for Cuban Reciprocity.

In the midst of the stirring incidents
attending the birth of the Cuban republic
the question of the character of the conf
mercial policy to be adopted by our gov
ernment with reference to the young ma
ton has been almost completely over
Swallowed. The independence of the Gu
bans having been formally recognized by
the administration at Washington, the is
sue of reciprocity will now resume the
prominent place in the public eye that it
occupied when the republican revolt in the
House in connection with the passage of
the Cuban bill resulted in the overthrow
of the republican leaders in that body.
1t seems to be recognized at the present
time that any straight reciprocity meas
ure would he long time getting through
the Senate. and a compromise now seems
to be the probable outcome of the whole
matter. Senator SpoOner of Wisconsin,
who is a close friend and fellow fisherman
of Senator Proctor has formulated a bill
which is intended to pacate conflicting
interests as far az possible. It embraces
to some extent the rebate feature but in
been proposed. The bin has been consid-
cred by the members of the Senate COM
mittee on relations with Cuba, and mas
much as that body includes advocates of
straight reciprocity as we'll as such repre-
sentatives of the beet sugar interests as
Senator Spooner and Senator Mcmillan of
Michigan. any compromise they can reach
will be likely to commend itself to the
: nate as a whole.
The belief is expressed that any straight
reciprocity measure could not pass the
| House, even If it were to get through the
upper house, for the combination which
modified the measure which passed the
House originally would almost certainly
control the situation in case the Senate
tried to force its views on the popular
branch If a compromise bill can be ar
ranged that will meet with the approval
OF all Of the republicans in the Senate, it
is evident that the chances will be strong
| L. in favor Of speedy action of a favorable
character in the House. If the two bodies
DO not reach an agreement in this manner,
Congress may find itself in session past
midsummer and still trying to solve the
problem of Cuban reciprocity.

Diversified Farming in the Northwest

Word comes from the Northwest that
the farmers IN that section are beginning
10 try n dversihcation of crops, and this
IS an encouraging indication. It is well
known that hitherto the farmers OF the
West have depended to a large extent on
wheat and corn. When the weather was
favorable to the production of a large
cror of these cereals, the farmers have
reaped rich harvest but the majority
Of years have been unfavorable. Some
farmers devoted their attention to either
wheat or corn, and the failure of the one
crop meant the utter cutting off of
revenue.
Under the varie1 experience OF the lie.
cade the Western farmers are now devot
ing their lands to the production Of a VA.
Iety Of crops. so that II one fails the re-
mainder may be a success at least to a
partial degree, The adoption of this policy
generally will be of great advantage to the
West IL not to the country as a whole

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Williston Delegates to the State
Convention Uninstructed and
UnpledRad.

To the Editor of The Free Press:
The republican voters met in u largely
attended and most harmonious caucus
Tuesday evening and elected delegates.
The State delegates are men who have
been made to dance the dance of death
while the cattle commissioners appointed
by our present governor sang, and they
can be trusted not to vote for any candi-
date for governor, who lodges or straddles
the question of their reappointment.
The county delegates are also unpledged
but all know by sad experience how the
execution OF the present law may become
distorted by evil disposed or malicious Of
ticers into the ruin of the person or town
which it was intended TO protect and they
trust they will not be asked to support
any candidate for the upper branch of our
legislature until they know and know for
a certainty his views on this subject.

Fair Play for Gen. MCCULLOUGH

The people of Vermont are noted for
their love of fair play. and this sentiment
is certain to play prominent part in the
governcrship contest. When DR.. Webb re-
tired after vigorous canvass that showed
his possession of marked strength, the
prize according to all recognized rules of
political warfare belonged to General Nc
Culoueh. Mr. ProctOr's entrance upon the
field brought into existence an entirely
new set of conditions, but the friends of
General Mccullough were not dismayed
They continued their vigorous fight, and
it was generally conceded that the senti-
ment as reflected in the great majority OF
the large towns became stronger than
ever in favor of the Bennington county
candidate. Then third candidate for tho
lgovernorship entered the field against Gen.
eral Mccullough in the person Of Perciva
w. Clement, and the cry now, to all ap'
pearances, is anything to beat General Nc
Cullough. If the Bennington candidate Sc
cures the nomination, he will have over
come three different rivals in succession
