Especial Despatch to the watchman. }

is remembered that the salt composing
the shipment weighs approximately
4, 900, 900 pounds.
The great trains run on regular
schedule. and are profusely decorated
with banners and flags manufactured
expressly for them. Souvenir flags
will be distributed to everybody at
the various stations. The enterprising
school boy will be on the lookout.
This is another distinctive event in
the commercial world; an achieve
ment in the line of production as well
as transportation. 1t is wonderful to
think of shipment of such magnitude
moving on passenger schedule, "a
regular Limited express freight. :"
For example: The first section of this
train was scheduled to leave at 7
O'Clock this morning. and it got away
at just 7 :02
One year ago, great train of sew
enty-two cars of Worcester Salt left
for substantially the same territory
which this shipment is destined for,
and 1t was then thought to be impos-
sible to exceed that achievement but
this year over 100 cars will go to the
same territory.
This is the seventh special salt train
to leave the works within few
years, shipped by the Worcester Salt
Co.. and the size of the various
trains is pretty good indication of
the growth of the Worcester Salt bust
ness. Besides these special trains,
many carloads are being sent each
day throughout the territory.
The great shipment, which has just
left here 80 successfully. proceeds to
New England over the Erie road to
Binghamton, thence over the Della
ware & Hudson to Troy over the
Fitchburg Division of the Boston 81
Maine to Aver Junction, then via the
Nashua and White Mountain Division
of the Boston g. Maine System to

Woodsville, N. II. The train will re-
main one night each in Greenfield,
Mass, and Nashua, and Woodsville,
N. II. Commencing at Greenfield
cars will be dropped off for the vari-
GUS merchants to whom they are sold,
but at least seventy cars will go
through to Nashua, and nearly fifty
to Woodsville, N. II.
The average freight train consists of
about 20 to 30 cars, but this train has
over 100 cars and comprises the largest
single shipment of one commodity
ever made over the Boston & Maine
railroad system; and it is the largest
shipment of dairy salt ever made in
the world.
Mr.. j. Everett Nash, inspector at
the works, is in charge of the train
from the factory to it's destination,
and railroad officials and special press
representatives will join the train en-
route.
A special passenger coach will be
attached to the first section at
Greenfield for the convenience of the
press, and the accompanying party.
New Hampshire, by the way, has
just repealed her prohibitory law,
and it may be that this action was
influenced by the intense thirst Great.
cd by the anticipation of the arrival
within her borders Of this immense
train of salt.
New Hampshire should be proud of
the fact that these big salt trains
were entirely sold through one of her
foremost jobbing concerns. The Hol-
brook Grocery Co., located at Keene,
Woodsville and Nashua.
A mammoth celebration is being ar
ranged at Woodsville, N. H., in honor
of the big shipment, and it is expect
ed that prominent merchants and
press representatives will be present
in large numbers. Wilder's orchestra
of Montpelier will furnish the music.

THE RUBBER GAME.

A fair sized crowd witnessed the
d 9feat of Copmany E Of Barre at the
hands of Company H of this city. in
the basket ball game in the Armory
hall, Saturday evening.
Neither team had had any practice
worth mentioning since meeting be-
fore and each was anxious to win, as
it was the rubber game and the last
one of the season. The Company H
boys did some fine individual work
and outplayed their opponents man
for man. The game was rough and a
good many fouls were made. Differ
ence of opinion in regard to what con-
stituted foul existed in the minds of
the officials, also in regard to the
possession of the ball when outside
and what constituted possession, so
some whistle was kept blowing most
of the time, especially in the second
half.
Each played as individuals and it
would be hard to pick out any one or
two players who did exceptional work.
The first half ended with the score 3
to 2; and in the last half Barre was
only able to make one basket from the
foul line, while Montpelier ran up a
number Of baskets, making final
score of 10 to 3.
Following is the line up: Com
pany E-Turner and Sheriffs, for
wards; Russ, centre; Milne (Cadger)
and Dean, guards. Company H

Postmaster Cannon of Bellows Falls
has received an unfavorable reply to
the petition sent to Washington re-
Gently in regard to keeping the lobby
of the postoffice open Sundays and
holidays, when the Office is not open.
The reason given is that it has been
found that dishonest box renters have
opened their own boxes and reached
through and distracted mail from
other boxes; also that many persons
not box owners have obtained keys
by improper methods and stolen mail
from boxes thus opened and adjacent
boxes. If the citizens of Bellows
Falls desire to hire a watchman at
their own expense, who will guard
the lobby continually during the alb
sence of the employees, the lobby can
be kept open.

A cooperative fire insurance COM
pany is to be organized in Burlington
within few days owing to the high
rates that are charged by the regular
fire companies. The merchants have
discussed the matter informally and
meeting will be called this week and
an organization perfected, Property
owners claim that the insurance rates
have doubled within year and say
that they have to pay for losses sus-
tanned by the companies in other
towns Where the fire protection is not
as good as it is in Burlington. This,
they say, is not fair, and they will
now organize company of purely
local character, and think from the
fire record the city has had they can
save nearly per cent. in rates.

Special Dispatch to The Can.

TACOMA, Wash. Dec. 10.-Because
a pretty Indian maiden living on Peel
River in the Mckenzie River country
wanted to learn a new song one of
the largest caravans of Alaskan In
dians ever organized journeyed 1000
miles from Mckenzie to Dawson last
month. Last summer this maiden
heard prospector sing "In the Good
Old Summer Time.' 1t interested her
very much. The prospector did not
know the song completely. Before he
left camp almost the entire Peel River
tribe was humming the tune as best
they could.
Missionaries visit these Indians reg
ularly and Christmas festivities form
one of. their chief annual delights. The
Indian girl whom the song first at
tracted proposed that a party Of her
tribe should go to Dawson to learn
this and other songs. The idea grew,
resulting in a caravan which was led
by w. N. Craigie, who reached Dawson
three weeks ago. While trying to make
a short cut into Dawson he discovered
the new Seela pass, shortening the trail
from the Mckenzie River to Dawson
by 300 miles.
En- route through the Rockies the
caravan came upon and slaughtered a
herd of caribou and hauled the car
casses of fifty into Dawson on twenty
three large toboggans The only wonn-
an to accompany the expedition was
the girl, who Immediately learned the
words and tune Of I'm the Good Old
Summer Time to her complete salts
faction. She and Craigie have started
back ard will reach Mckenzie River
before Christmas. Later in the winter
another expedition will reach Dawson
to trade.
The caribou meat brought by Graf
gie's caravan relieved Dawson's meat
shortage. 1t brought from 20 to 35 cents
per pound when auctioned in front Of

Several mysteries were brought out
to-day in the first hearing Of the con-
test over the will OF William Moore.
who left an estate of about $500. 900.
There is in sight about 100000 or more,
which, after a few bequests,. is d.
vided in three equal proportions for
his wife, daughter and grandson.
Another clause in the win gives
whatever he has received or may here
after receive under the viii of William
Van Rensselaer, to his grandson. No
one here knows who William Van
Rensselaer, was or anything further
than what MoOre's confidential attor-
ney and executor, H. p. King, testi-

King said that Moore fntimated to
him that his estate was valued at
about 10000, and that a woman who
resides in Los Angeles. Cal. and who
occasionally stops at a hotel in Sara
toga, had a life interest in il. Moore
said he was bound by an oath not to
reveal any more, but that a full ex-
phantom would be found in his safety
deposit box in the vaults Of the Glens
Falls National Bank. This vault has
not yet been opened. because OF the
contest which is now being made by
the grandson, who is a minor, In case
the will is defeated the grandson win
not fare so well, it is said, as he does
now, and it is a second mystery why
he makes a contest.
King testified that Moore told him
that he cMoore) had contracted to pay
a certain woman, whose name he did
not wish to mention in the will and

SENATOR SHOOTS CASE
TO BE HEARD ON SATURDAY
Chairman Burrows of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections Is
sues Call for a Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Chairman
Burrows of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections has called
meeting of the committee for Saturday
to consider whether any action shall
be taken on the protests and petitions
for the expulsion of Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah. That a thorough in
vestigation of the subject will be made
by the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections now appears to be be-
yond doubt. BY those who are press
ing the investigation it is said it will
be more comprehensive and searching
than any similar inquiry eyer held.
1t is believed by some, at least, of
those who are opposing Senator Smoot
that any effort made to prove he is
polygamist would result in failure, and
while that point cannot be said to have
been abandoned absolutely, it is quite
certain the opposition will concentrate
its endeavors to prove that the position
he holds in the Mormon church is in
compatible with the oath of allegiance
he has taken TO the United States.
