The Decline in Great Salt Lake.

The decline in the waters of Great Salt
Lake, Utah, which has been in pro-
gress for the last sixteen or seventeen
years has become a matter of concern
to local property owners and of much
interest to scientists In the fifteen
years ending with 1900 the lake had fall
en- 9.9 feet a decline more serious than
at first realized, as the lake is very shall
low, averaging less than twenty feet,
and as the eastern and western shores
slope gradually that fall of foot
in the level exposes many square miles
of bottom.
Business interests centering around
the lake have so suffered from the de-
cline that within the last twelve months
a petition, signed by number of the
prominent officials of Utah, was sent to
the United States Geological Survey re-
questing an investigation of the pheno-
menon. Some light is thrown on the
movements of the lakes in the last
(twenty-second) annual report of the
survey, Part ", now in press, in which
a careful comparison of the rainfall
records since 1863 has been made 1t Is
found that the low water fluctuations
of the lake, of which there have been
several since that time, correspond in
a remarkable degree with the periods
of deficient rainfall, and it has further
been discovered that one inch of rainfall
per year more or less, upon the water
of 026 of a foot in the water level. This
ratio applied to the present low water,
on the basis of the deficiency of rainfall
for the last fifteen years which amounts
to 1i7 inches, seems to account for less
4 than half of the present fall, so that
other causes for ii must be found
In recent years it has been suggested
that the increase in irrigation of a ia
/ cent lands by water taken from the
streams feeding the lake has caused the
lowering of its waters. Large quanti-
ties of water are spread upon the farm
lands by irrigation, partly to be alb
sorbed by vegetation, partly to be evapo-
rated and partly to return to the
streams or lake in the form of springs
| On account of the artificial control of the
| streams feeding the lake the causes OF
( the present low water have become
much complicated, but careful gaugings
of the lake levels are being made and
additional observations taken TO discover
/ the causes of its decline and to learn,
If possible, what part irrigation plays

Under the License Law.

Under the new license law every
town in the state must vote at the an
nual meeting on the question Shall
licenses be granted for the sale of in
toxicating liquors in this town"
Special ballots are to be provided by
the secretary of state for a yes and
no vote. If town votes for license,
the selectmen must then call a spec
ial town meeting, if six voters so re-
quest, to determine the kind of Ii
censes to be issued in that town. The
ballots to be used at such meetings
are to contain the questions: %
Shall licenses be granted for the
sale of liquors of all kinds?" 90
Shall licenses be granted for the
sale of beer or matted liquors only?"
For this special meeting. also. the
secretary of state furnishes the bal
lots. In each case the law provides
that the box for the reception of the
ballots shall be opened at the hour the
meeting is called, and closed at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon In every
town that votes for license, the Sc
lectmen must appoint three license
commissioners, with whom is lodged
the whole matter of issuing licenses.
1t is within their duties to decide
whether an applicant is a fit person
to receive such a license. and to de-
termine how many and what kind of
licenses shall be granted not exceed
ing of course, the number provided
by the law.
In towns that vote no license, IL
censes of the fifth class must be
granted under section %. ION petit
tion of five per cent. of the legal vo-
ters and the majority of the practic-
ing physicians residing therein"
Criticism has been made of the Ii
cense law because it provides for
these drugstore licenses in towns
that vote no license, but anyone who
reads sections % to 80 of the law will
be convinced that it was the intention
of the trainers of the law to confine
drugstore sales absolutely to liquors
required for medicinal purposes in
cases of bona fde illness The hold
ers of these licenses are not only
hedged about by very stringent pro-
visions, but they must make monthly
detailed reports to the county clerks
of all liquors sold, including names of
purchasers dates, and amounts, to-
gether with the original prescriptions
upon which the sales were made.
There would doubtless be abuses and
! evasions under these licenses, but no
reputable druggist would care to run
| the risk, and it would be only under
very rotten administration of the
law that fragrant abuses could con-
/ tinue.
! We present this summary because
/ the fact ought to be kept in mind
/ that the people of Brattleboro, and of
every other Windham county and Yer
mont town, can, if they wish, keep
/ themselves free of open bars and sa-
looms, while in place of the agency
sales, there will be the very much
more stringent provisions for supply
ing medical needs through licensed
drugstores.

A PoIyalot City.

Prof Buck Of the phlology department
of the University of Chicago has been
looking into the linguistic conditions of
that city, with results that are some
what astonishing. OF all the cities of
the world, he awards to Chicago the
front rank for cosmopltanism, there be-
ing no less than fourteen languages, be-
sides English, spoken there by colonies
of at least 10000 persons each. News
papers appear regularly in ten languages,
and church services may be heard in
twenty languages. Chicago is the second
largest Bohemian city in the world the
third Swedish, the third Norwegian, the
fourth Polish the fifth German. In ALL
there are some forty foreign languages
spoken by numbers ranging from half
dozen to half a million, and aggregat-
ing over 100000. Prof, Buck carried on
his Investigations by temporary resi-
dence in the various colonies in Chicago,
which are really little cities within the
metropolis, each speaking it's own Ian
guage, clinging to its hereditary Gus
toms. 1t is found, however, that the
children can generally speak English
and that the grandchildren, as rule
never learn the foreign language and
speak only English.-[Boston Herald

Vermonters in Boston.

In a news item printed in The
Phoenix last week it was stated that
the Vermont Association of Boston
had taken rooms for a permanent
headquarters at the Westminster, on
Copley Square, the literary and social
centre of Boston. In an address de-
livered by Col. Josiah H. Benton, the
new president of the association, at
the annual banuet recently held, a
statement was made of the purpose
had in view in opening these head
quarters, In the first place, the
rooms are to'be made an attractive

A Strong Point Gained.

II is great triumph for American
diplomacy that the Venezuelan com
plication has been amicably adjusted.
and that all the parties in interest
are content to refer their claims to
The Hague court of arbitration. But
outside Of this fact, there is a gain
for the United States in the outcome
in a direction entirely unlocked for.
This gain is in the distinct acknowl-
edgment by Germany that the
strength and influence of the United
States had to be recognized as a con
trolling factor in these negotiations.
1t was an influence that could not be
ignored or got around. In Berlin the
German government was sharply
criticized for yielding so many of its
contentious and for tolerating the in
reference of the United States in this
affair. In answer to these criticisms
official statement which said. in sub
stance. that the course pursued by
Germany was the only course that
was possible under the circumstances
the attitude of the United States be-
ing what it was:
justification for this criticism does
not exist when the consequences of the
United States participation are used
as basis for attacking the government

i'm resisting the claims OF the European
powers. 1t is not a question of the
imaginary defects and weaknesses of
German statcsmanship, but of fixed, i'm
mutable facts, ignoring which would
have created a German-American com
picaton in place of the German-Vene-
zuelan incident"
This is a broad and unreserved ac-
acknowledgement of the fact that, with
regard TO all affairs which concern
the states or governments of Central
and South America, the power and
influence of the United States have
got TO be taken into the account. A
stronger affirmation and recognition
than this from a European source of
the underlying principle of the Mon
roe Doctrine could not have been Sc
cured
1t may be added here that Lord
Balfour is quoted as saying, in a
speech on a semi-public occasion in
Liverpool Friday, that

Felix w. McGettrick, late Demo
cratic candidate for governor, is a
statesman (?) of the Mont Pelee type
who is likely to have an eruption at
any time. His mouth got to belch-
ing the other night when he tried to
stop the nomination of union muni-
cipal ticket in st. Adams. He
characterized the action of the Repub-
lican and Democratic city committees
in issuing joint call as an "impu-
dent proposition" "impudent AFRO
gance," etc, and finally called on the
honest, consistent Democrats TO
leave the hall. and about so were fool
ish enough to stalk out behind him
but the great majority remained and
a union citizens ticket for city Off
GERS was selected. The attempt to
draw lines of national politics into
the affairs of villages and municipali
ties the size of those in Vermont is
always 4 mistake. BY a united
citizens movement better public ser
vice is maintained and the local
strifes which engender bitterness and
jealousy are avoided.

Congress will make an appropria-
tion of $l53, 100000 for the mainten-
ance Of the postal service for the fiscal
year beginning July !. This is an
increase Of S15,OO0.0O over a year ago
and $30,000.O00 over two years ago.
II is figured that the deficit in the pos
tai business for the year will be
only $l0,000.000. The appropriation
for the important work Of extending
the rural delivery system is $12,619,-
300. and it is probable that when this
service is applied all over the country
the expense will be $4,000 600. \ new
class for 225 postal clerks will bring
them annual salaries of $500. 800
more than any postal clerks receive
at the present time, and the division

Lyndon in Caledonia county set up
a claim recently as the banner church
town in the United States with 10
churches and 5000 population, or a
church TO every 800 persons. Gran
Vile, Mass, has put in a bid for dis
tinction with a population of 1850 and
four churches, or church for every
262 inhabitants. Probably both
towns are church poor just as men
with large tracts of land of little value
are said to be land poor" There are
too many churches in New England
at the present time. With the great
essential belief in the fatherhOod of
God and the brotherhood of man pre-
dominant in the teachings of all
churches it would be better in many
cases to allow minor matters of creed
to drop out of sight and for the people
of small communities to learn in their
religious work some of the lessons of
the times which the industrial world
is teaching and to get together. This
is not an argument for religious
trust, but an expression of belief that
one church unitedly and strongly sup
ported by 1000 of population is a
greater power for good than four
churches struggling alone among the
same number of people.

OF the towns whose returns were
Officially accepted by the secretary of
state 100 voted no and so voted yes.
There are probably only three or four
towns and perhaps none which voted
no which will be carried for license in
March, but good per cent. Of those
in the yes column are doubtful, as
many voters who do not want saloons
in their own community looked upon
the whole question as one of local
control. In other words. the votes of
the men who believe in local option,
but who are against license, may be
an important factor at the March
meetings.

The Hague Court.

The agreement to refer the Venezuelan
dispute to the court of arbitration at
The Hague calls attention to the com
position of that tribunal Four persons
are selected by each of the sgnatory
Powers and enrolled as members of the
Court. These appointments are renew
able at periods of six years. The record
office of the court is at The Hague, and
through it the proceedings for an arbi-
tration are instituted. Each party to the
dispute names two arbitratOrs, selected
from the whole list, and these choose
a fifth, or umpire. If they are unable
to agree, provision is made for the choice
of an umpire by a disinterested Power
or Powers. The jurisdiction of the per-
manent court may be extended by agree
ment to non-signatory Powers, as in the
case of Venezuela. The American mem
bers of the court are: Chief Justice Full
ler, Judge Gray, Mr.. Griggs, the former
Attorney General, and Oscar s. Straus,
of New York, formerly Minister to Tur-
