They Went A.fish ing.

W. c. Herrick, who represents Benz.
D. Benson e Co., of New York, was a
guest at the Phoenix last week and on
Saturday accepted an invitation
from Mine Host Crane to spend the
day in fishing up at Eden. Starting
bright and early with a well filed
lunch basket and the regulation
amount of bait they in due time
reached the fishing grounds, Stony
Brook and the Dark Branch. They
ished long time and during the day
Crane lost Herrick and becoming
alarmed tramped over miles, more or
less, of the ground they had been over
but could not find the lost man, de-
claring, however, he could hear loud
and distinct calls for help. Becoming
discouraged Crane made for the Cor
ners to summon posse to go to the
rescue. Reaching O'Brien's hotel
who should he find sitting ON the We.
randa but Herrick, smoking a cigar
and enjoying the scenery while await
ing the arrival of his friend Crane.
Herrick had passed Crane in the
woods, unbeknown to the latter and
that is how he got astray, Then
Der of fish caught by both parties
was 62-Crane getting sixty and
Herrick just two. Herrick thinks he
might have got more had he used the
same kind of bait his host did. He
enjoyed the day, however, and says
he will not soon forget his fishing
trip to Eden.

Apportlonment Of State School Tax.

Walter E. Ranger, of Montpelier,
state superintendent of education,
State Treasurer John L. Bacon, of
White River Junction, and Prof. 0. S.
Mathewson, ofBarre, the commission
to apportion $15,000 of the state
school tax to towns and cities raising
SO per cent. or more school tax, met
Friday at the Office of Superintendent
Ranger at the state house. In ac-
cordance with an act passed by the
Legislature of 1902, towns and cities
raising from so to SO per cent. school
tax are to have as many shares as
they have schools. Those raising 60
to SO per cent. one and one-half
shares. Towns raising from 70 to
70 per cent, two shares.
1t was found that 113 towns had
raised school tax of so cents or
over. Of these 76 towns raised tax
from so to SO cents; 20 towns a tax
from 60 to SO cents; IA towns tax
from 20 to 79.cents; one town a tax
from 80 to 80 cents; and two towns,
Granville and Mt. Tabor, a tax of
from 100 to 100 cents. Granville
raised $1.O5 on the dollar of it's
grand list for school purposes and
Mount Tabor ST. The larger towns
and cities as rule do not come in
for any benefits from this distribu-
ton. Montpelier for instance, voted
only % cents for schoolpurposes and
gets none of the reserve fund of SIS,
900.
