The granite dealers interested IN the

Barre, conferred with railroad officials
recently and another railroad is con
templated. Stone has been quarried
from these hills for some time, but it
has been a bard matter to get at it on
account of the lack of transportation.

reports of more deer taken than ever
before come from nearly all sections of
the state. What this hunting means
to the state from pecuniary stand
point is az indefinite problem, but the
sport is furnished to our own people
who like it, and those who come from
outside the state spend thousands Of
dollars within the state while in quest
of deer.
Evidently the time has come when
Vermont can follow the lead of Maine
aud require license at a stable fee
for the outsiders who come here to
hunt, Such a measure would be a val
liable source Of revenue to the state,
and would give the home residents
better opportunity for hunting than
with free for-all entry as at present.
Deer have become so numerous that toe
next legislature win be called upon for
some modification of the restrictive
laws, but whatever is done the law
ought not to be charged so as to check
the multiplication of deer which is now
going on so rapidly. A wise policy
will make deer hunting not only a
sport but an assured money producing
industry Of the first class
One Of our contemporaries argued
that high license in place Of prohi-
bition would make V rmont park for
summer visitors, and 9th rs have de-
! Voted extended space TO showing the
need of more and bett hotels fer at
tracing people from outsGe. There
is, however, nothing like developing
our fish and game resources to bring
people here to spend money.
There are thousands of men who will
travel long distances, put up with in
convenience, and spend mon liber-
ally if they can but feel that they have
a fair chance to return home with a
deer, or with a 8 to pound trout or
salmon. If we can bring few of our
lakes ard ponds up to the standard Of
Caspian lake, or the lakes in Averill,
and can have deer roaming more num-
erously over our hills, there Nill be no
question about men with money to
drop coming here for vacations.
We ought to find an object lesson in
the Investment of few hundred dol
lars by the Rutland sportsmen less than
20 years ago. That investment has
been repaid more than a thousand fold
already and there is more to come.
And the possibilities in the develop
ment of our fishing interests are far
greater thaa anything which hunting
can ever offer.
The Phoenix would like to see our
solons at Montpelier tackle this sub
ject on broad and generous lines with
not less than $4,000 a year available

when deer with horns could be slain
during October.
In that year 13l animals we're shot,
according to the report received by the
fish and game commissioners, and in
the following year 80. The law was
changed again so as to allow bunting
for bucks only in the last ten days of
October. Under this provision deer
have continued to increase, and last
year it was known that over 400 bucks
we're slain in the ten days This year
there has been an influx of hundreds
of hunters to Vermont from other
states,
It is known that over 200 sportsmen
have gone from Brattleboro up the
Brattleboro and Whitehall railroad and
on a single train which pulled into
Ludlow last week, 40 rifles we're court

we're 81 hunters aboard bound for the

of the hunters this year appears likely
to greatly surpass the record of last

DEER HUNTING LESSONS.
Presence Of Deer Here Shows Need Of Fish and
Game Protection.


The Brattleboro Phoenix furnishes
the following sensible article on the
protection Of fish and game in Yer
mont.
The men who scott at all suggestions
of fish and game legislation are asked
TO consider for a moment What protec-
tive laws have dune in providing deer
hunting in this state. Twenty years
ago deer we're extinct in Vermont, with
the exception of the small section of
the wild country in Essex county,
which borders 90 the great timber
tracts Of New Hampshire and Canada.

several hundred dollars, bought deer,

1t Is also extremely elegant in its pro-

1t makes a fetch of its doctor and clergy

Rich Old Maids are much esteemed by
their families and become great pets, but
poor ones are given the cold shoulder.

Oh. you men. most illogical creatures, in
| the world!
You call woman a weak being; but. al.
| though you make laws to protect children.
you make none to protect women; nay, on
that woman whom you call weak you i'm
pose infaliibility.
When you strong. bearded men get out Of
the path OF duty, you say:
THE flesh Is weak" but when 1t is a
woman who does, there is no indulgence.
no mercy. no pity. no e~xtenuating cfrcum-
stances admitted.
What you must admire in women Is chas-
tity; IL so. how dare you leave unpunished
the man who takes 1t away from them?
How Is 1t that you receive him in your
club. welcome him in your house and not
uncommonly congratulate him on his gooe
fortune?
1 hear you constantly complain that wom-
en- are too fond Of dress. too careless OF the
money that you make by the sweat Of your
brow; too frivolous. too fond of pleasure.
and that matrimony becomes, on that ac-
count, more and more Impossible.
Let me assure you that there are many
young girls brought up by thoughtful moth
ers to be cheerful. devoted and careful
wives; but. as a rule, you despise them; you
are attracted by the best dressed ones and
you go and offer your heart to the bird with

The laws and customs would be much
wiser. il. instead Of demanding infalitbility
of women. they were to make women's du-
tie. and virtues easier by showing less in
diligence for men. and by declaring that In
matrimony, the same coniugal virtues are
expected alike of men as well as of women.
