The preliminary surveys for the pro-
posed Bennington and North Adams
electric railroad have been completed
but the road will not be started this
year. The survey was commenced at
Williamstown, to which village a road
already runs and which will be united
with the new one. According to the
survey the distance from Bennington
to Williamstown is 13A miles. The
road will not cross the Hoosac river at
all. neither will it follow the highway
but will cross the highway and run
close to the river in some places.

with Montpelier Church.

Montpelier, Sept. 20.-Much to the delight
of his parishloners, the Rev. j. Edward
Wright announced this morning the with
drawal of his resignation as pastor the
Church of the Messiah. Mr.. Wright re-
signed several weeks ago the pastorate
that he has successfully and satsfac-
tOrily filled for "a years and asked that
he he relieved October /. Strong efforts
have since been made to induce him to
reconsider and withdraw this resignat ion.
He announced to-day that he had been
led to see that Ne would be unwarranted
in longer holding out against what seems
the universal desire of the members of
his church and congregation.
Mr. Wright will be given an assistant
to relieve him of much drudgery and fill
some If not all of his outside appointments.
Mr. Wrights decision is hailed with
delight by the people of Montpelier out
side the Church of the Messiah, many
of whom are bound to him by strong ties.
The prospect OF Il sevcrinC of these life
time ties ana associations was not pleas

AUTOMOBILES AND EXERCISE.

On the whole the automobile is the
most amusing toy now In the market.
At'luent persons who have got tired Of
navigating Long island sound and sail
ing up and down the Atlantic coast in
yachts, find novelty and pleasure in
yachting on shore. Most of them seem
to go through the same experience Be
ginning with Il modest little motor wag-
on, run by electricity perhaps, they
duly aspire and acquire advancing from
car to car, each time bigger ono with
more horse power and greater speed ca
pacty. until they have to send horses
to pasture and carriages to be stored
to make room in their stables for the
collection of devil wagons.
There Is no doubt that the machines
are interesting, and that the testing of
their capacities to cover distance has
great fascination. But with many own
ers they still are a fad, and in 50 far
as they are "A fad they will in time
lose part of their attractiventss. And as
a fad automobilng has some drawbacks.
1t is told. with diagrams and pictures
to help, that a good many automO-
biliStS are getting uncomfortably fat and
it is matter of observation that the
livers of others are not working as
smoothly as their owners and their
owners associates could wish. Can it

Golf. though it may be tiresOme, is an
exceedingly s,lIhrious exercise. Horse
back riding and polo playing jolt the
liver in a fashion that is highly adj
vantageous To that organ. Walking and
tennis keep down fat, and are plainly
wholesome for persons whom they suit,
But automohling. though 1t is "A true
recreation in that 1t engages and en-

can't keep its owner "in condition." 1t
won't have the stable all to itself, nor
leave the golf course bare of its players.
1t will not perish, of course. but persons

FOUR BILLION FEET OF LUMBER

y X.
The lumber markets of the Orient. and
the share which the United States is
likely to have in supplying them, is the
subject just now of some attention by
the United States department of com
merce and labor. Recent reports from
American Consuls in the Orient an
nounced the arrival of the first cargo of
lumber in the Chinese market, by n Rus
sian vessel from Vladivostok. This fact
opens the question Of future competition
for the Oriental market between the
American lumber interests on the Pacific
coast, on the one hand. and that of the
Russians in Siberia and on the Yalu
river on the other. In both cases enor-
nous resources are awaiting develop
ment. The American industry on the
Pacific coast has the advantage of or
ganlza ton or n large scale, and of me-
chancal equipment unequalled by that
of any other field in the world. This Is
evidenced by the rate of annual produc-
ton. Unofficial estimates put the annual
cut of lumber and shingles of the three
Pacific States at 1900 100000 feet, of
which California supplies $50 600 5000
feet, Oregon 7400O0,W0 feet and Wash
ingtOn 2.1C0,UC00m feet. At this rate II is
calculated that the forests of the Pacific
coast will be exhausted in 10 years.
As would naturally be expected. the
Pacific lumbermen have been rapidly on
larElng their area ana volume of COM
mercial distribution, both in the foreign
and the domestic markets. According to
verified figures the redwood shipments
from upper California, mostly to San
Francisco and the southern coast.
amounted in 1902 to 2G0,j97605. In addi-
ton to this, the California coast alone
received in 1902. SOC l02 ,9S2 feet of pine and
fir; in 1901. 1923 $40 feet. and in 1900
80 25S,9l3 feet. The rate of increase, as
will be seen by comparison of these fig
urcs, is enormous.-Harper's Weekly.

PHEASANT RAISING FOR PLEAS

In q few years pheasu1ts will be bred

for September. The study of wild bird

birds, is rarely equaled In anything else,
besides forming a peculiar beauty to

would recommend the beginner to
get the golden and silver pheasants first
and then add to his collection as his
knowledge grows. Nearly all varieties
are hardy when young if given the right
variety Of feed and runs. Almost any
small hen will answer the purpose of Il
mother. Ring nccked pheasants can be
bought for 81 per pair, golden for S25. and
others among the rarer species come
higher. but they DO not, as rule, cost
a, much as the fancy poultry.
