irrigation Vvospeet.

March was not SO stormy as
usual over the greater part OF the
mountain region, and taken as a
whole the precipitation was below
normal, although an excess was
noted in localities on nearly every
watershed. There has been con.
siderable melting in the valleys,
and a large proportion of the
moisture is being absorbed by the
dry soil. Above 5000 feet the
depths are practically the same as
a month ago, the current fall gen
orally making good the loss in
depth by the gradual settling OF
the old snow, much OF which is in
condition to remain late in the
season. The outlook for good
and prolonged flow is unusually
favorable for the RIO Grande; on
other watersheds the early flow
promises to be much better than
last years, but the late flow will be
less than normal # not augmented
by normal rainfall.

II ever = young man deserved
the cross of the Legion of Honor for
courage, that man is Forrest L. Jep-
son, son of Mr. and Mrs George II.
Jepson of this village who, though
only l6 years Of age, has saved no
less than four lives at the risk OF his
own.
Young Jepson is vigorous speci-
men Of healthy young manhood, fond
of-out door life and athletic sports,
and of just the stuff to make heroes.
His record as life saver is as follows:
A week ago Saturday Will Hollis
er, while skating on Benton's pond,
broke through the ice and went under
and would have drowned had not Jep-
son dove in and pulled the lad out.
Last Spring, during the high water,
Elmer Spencer, a small boy, fell into
the racewaY of the Valentine mill where
tit was some II feet deep. The suction
carried him dawn and held him and he
could not possibly have gotten out had
not Master Jepson plunged in and,

I'm HIS NAME"
100 Children Remembered By
The Young Ladies Club.
mot What We Give But What We Share, "
Exempliilsd.

The Young Ladies club sent out one
hundred invitations to children in the
town to an entertainment to be given
at their rooms on Saturday afternoon
from 2 to o'clock. Nearly every
child holding card was present.
E. II. Griswold loaned the grapha-
phone which furnished the children a
great treat. Games we're played and
stores told to amuse the little ones.
Later the door of the adjoining room,
which was darkened for the occasion,
was thrown open and handsomely
decorated Christmas tree was revealed
to the eyes of the eager little ones,
some of whom it seems, Santa had for
gotten to visit. The children then
marched into the room and the pres
ents were distributed, each child re-
ceiving bag Of candy, a toy, pop
corn ball and a handkerchief.
Refreshments we're served which
consisted of milk and an abundance Of
beautiful cake which was made and
given by the young ladies Of the club.
The candy was given by the different
merchants of the town.
1t is becoming an annual thing for
these young ladies to search out
worthy children who have had no
Christmas and invite them to their
rooms for a good time, and they
should be supported and encouraged
in their good work. Any child, who
for any reason is unable to attend, is
sent his presents.
There were one hundred happier
children here in our midst Saturday
night through the kindness and
thoughtfulness OF the members Of this
club.

FOR BURGLARY.
Charles Frszsr Brought Back From Rutland
On That Charge.

Sheriff Wilson returned from Rut-
land Saturday evening, bringing with
him Charles Frazer who is under in
dictment Of burglary for entering the
Mattison store in South Shaftsbury in
November, 1900. The post Office was
located in the same building.
Frazer was one of three persons who
were connected with the affair and all
convicted in the o, S. court at Rut-
land. One of them, VIM Ralph, has
completed his term OF service and been
discharged Another one, Frank
Primrose, has another year to serve
in Rutland on account of his con-
nection with the robbery Of the post
Office.
He is also under indictment for
breaking into the store. The sentence
OF Frazer expired Christmas day, and
as soon as released he was again ar
rested on the burglary charge. His
trial will not come of until the June
term of the court. Primrose is also
under indictment for burglary.

after hard battle with the current,
brought him out.
Two years ago boy named Haeketi
got into deep water near the ice house
and the swift current carried him un-
der the ice from where he was rescued
by young Jepson.
The fourth instance OF his valor ana
quick wit was during camping trip.
He and a companion we're taking a
long swim and the other boy became
exhausted and gave Jepson hard
struggle to get him ashore.
Forrest Jepson is president of his
class, that OF 'O6 in the Bennington
high school, and was captain of the
high school football team last fsll. He
is clean manly youth Of great prom
ise. He always makes light OF his
own prowess and modestly refuses to
accept the plaudits due him for his
courage.

ed without the young mans knowl-
edge.

Two Houses Burned on Christmas
Day Morning.
HOLIDAY JOY MARRIED
William Fischsrs Family Was Burned Out Just
as They We're Holding Their Family
Christmas Tree.

The residence of William Fischer on
Dewey-St, with nearly all the contents,
was totally destroyed by fire shortly
after FIVE O'Clock Christmas morning.
Mr. and Mrs Fischer arose early to
prepare the Christmas tree for the OBJ
servance Of the day, according to old
German customs.
While at work around the tree the
oil in a lamp became lighted and in
attempting to get it out of doors it ex-
ploded, scattering the oil in all direc-
tions and quickly communicating to
the wood work, which was soon in a
blaze.
The children, who number several,
we're gotten out mostly in their night
clothes, and the family saw their home
burn. A small part of the furniture
was saved. The house was situated so
far from a hydrant that there was no
chance for the firemen to do any work
with water. The house was insured
for $500 and the furniture for $4O0,
which will mostly cover the loss.
Mr. Fischer is a weaver in the big
mill and had done the largest part of
the work on the building himself,
working mornings, nights and holi-
days to complete it. It's loss just at
this time comes particularly hard up
on him.
The house of James Bushee, the first
one above "The Rocks" on the road
to Woodford, was burned to the
ground Christmas morning. Most of
the contents, including clothing, etc,
were burned with it,
The fire took from a defective Chin
ney which burned out early in the
morning, but it was supposed that all
had been extinguished and Mr. Bushee
went to his work. Three hours after
some lumber teams passing discovered
the entire roof in flames, and no
chance to save the building.
There was an insurance upon it Of
5000 which viii about two-thirds cover
the loss.

SUPPORTS
LICENSE LAW
Hon. 0. NJ. Barber Writes Letter
Showing Need Of Change.
PROHIBITION A FAILURE
Present Law Violated at the Rate Of Thousand
Times Year and It's Results Do Not
Bring improvement.

The license law issue discussed be-
low in letter from Hon o NJ. Barber
should be OF interest and value to
every reader in preparing for the Feb
ruary vote.
No man in Vermont knows the evils
of rhe present prohibitory law better
than Mr. Barber, for the reason that
during his four years term as state
auditor lie was daily brought face to
face with points raised in the attempts
10 enforce the law. In auditing the
accounts of the various justices Of the
peace he was called upon practically
to review the proceedings Of police
and Justice courts and he became
thoroughly familiar with the grotes-
que, demoralizing and dangerous
features OF the law which we NOW have
for the first time in so years an oppor-
tunlty to repeal. His letter reads as
foliows:
The question of the adoption of the
license law by the people on the first
Tuesday of February next is one of
vital Importance.
Within the proper limits of a com
munication OF this kind it is impossible
to make full presentation OF what |
conceive TO be the relative merits OF
the proposed license law and the pres
ent prohibitory law, and | shall at
this time content myself by calling at
tention TO few Of the many, 70 me,
odious provisions of the present law.
The whole subject is a matter Of po-
lice regulation. 1t is conceded by
most people that Intoxicating liquors
will be sold and ought to be legally
procurable. The Prohibitory Law is
based upon this assumption. The
whole question, therefore, is whether to
regulate the traffic by so called Pro-
bibitory law or a license law.
Prior to 1853, a license law existed
in this state In March of that year,
by very small majority vote, the
prohibitory law was adopted by the
people. With various amendments,
some good, some bad, the law so
adopted has since been continued, and
is the law today.
TO aid us in determining whether We
shall continue this law, it may be pre-
fitable to inquire if, under its admins
tration, the traffic has been well regu-
lated and governed. contend It has
not
During the last four years the total
number of criminal prosecutions be-
fore justices and municipal courts has
exceeded on the average of 5000 annu-
ally. II is perfectly safe to assume
that at least 2OO0 annually Of these
were for violations of the prohibitory
law, and 1t is common knowledge that
there are annually thousands Of other
violations OF this law that are not pro-
secuted. do not doubt, nor do /
think it viii be contended, but that
substantially similar conditions have
m 3intained ever since the prohibitory
