Reports to Bradstreet's indicate that
the pronounced spring weather of the
past week has developed considerable
activity among the farmers who are be-
ginning to. pillow and to otherwise push
farming operations. The season has been
fairly good for maple sugar, several good
runs of sap have been obtained and pros
poets are good for runs for several more
days. There will probably be a good
average yield, much larger than was
received last year. Labor is well EN-
ployed as a rule but there is disposition
among certain labor unions to demand
certain concessions of building contrac-
tors who do not seem to favor the de-
mdnd. The report comes from Barre
that the tool sharpeners object to the
introduction of labor saving machine
for sharpening tools which machine takes
the place of number of workmen. One
large shed is said to have been closed and
if the demand of the tool sharpeners is
not met, it is possible that further sus-
pention will result, but it is hoped that
wise counsel will prevail and that fur
turers are fairly busy but demand is still
quiet Mills that consume cotton are
much interrupted because of unfavorable
market. Retail trade is fair, customers
from country districts are able to get to
the towns as the roads while still in only
fair condition, are passable. Collections
are little quiet. Burlington reports
local conditions unchanged, wholesale
trade good, retail trade fair. 1t is eX-
pected that navigation will open up in
about week, although the ice is still in
the lake. In Rutland manufacturing
industries are doing well but retail and
collections a little slow. The business
situation at Barre is somewhat uncertain
because of threatened labor troubles
Business among the granite sheds is gen
orally quiet. In Montpelier the polisher.
and Jumpers demand, it is said, more
pay and shorter hours, the change tC
take effect May LIST. Conditions in Other
lines are normal, retail trade will soor
feel the effects of the new crop of maple
sugar. There is no particular change
among the manufacturers at st. Adams
retail trade and collection fair. The or
gan factories at Bratteboro are very busy
) but operations are quiet at the two over
all factories one of which is practically
shut down for a short time. Retail trad,
is somewhat quiet. Bennington reports
the mills little slow at present and re
tail trade feels the depression, collections
little slow. Bellows Falls reports bust
: ness very good at the paper mills anc
nearly all other industries are running
full time. Collections good, retail trad
; is well maintained as a large weekly pa,
roll is distributed. The large luinbe
company at Wilmington has secured
cut of logs of some 100000 feet; tn
past season has been very successful il
the woods and the logs ar practicall

Strong Senatorial Suggestions


All friends of able public service and
wholesome legislation throughout Yer
mont will welcome the announcement
that eX-Gov. J. w Stewart of Middle
bury has been strongly urged to consent
to his nomination for the State senate,
and that he is almost persuaded. The
idea has grown far too prevalent that
after a man has become eminent through
service at the national capital, or has
adorned the position of governor of the
State, he must retire on his laurels and
Ego to Seed
Governor Stewart is recognized where
ever he is know as a man of broad and
progressive ideas, and of practical
theories of government and legislation
He is not an extremist, but a conserva-
tive progressionist. He recognizes that
the world is moving onward and believes
in keeping up with it. He also realizes
that in our efforts to keep up we have
gone ahead of the procession in some
respects. One of his instances is the
fashion of the people of Vermont which
allows our legislators but single term,
sending even our best men into retire
ment when they have gained the eX-
perience so essential to good law-mak'
ing
Governor Stewart has enjoyed wide
experience in the halls of legislation, and
we believe the entire people regardless
of partisan political affiliations will
regard his election to the State senate as
an encouraging evidence of renewed de
termination to profit in State Legislation
from the accumulated wisdom of oul
tried and true statesmen.
Among the list of those who are likely
to be elected from other countries are {
number who are recognized as representa-
tive leaders of our younger republican,
ism. If these various indications ar,
fulfilled, Vermont will be able to boas
of one of the strongest State senates sh'
has had in many years.

Sin view of what is happening in the
religious world" says Newell Dwight
Hills in Every body's Magazine for April,
there can be no doubt that a movement
toward the unification of the Protestant
churches has begun. Plans are now
being consumated that look to the ANAL
gamation of the Congregationalists, the
Methodist Protestants and the United
Brethren, which would mean the union
of about one million, one hundred thou
sand Christians. In Canada, the Meth
odists, Congregationalists, Baptists and
Pres byterians have come together and
arranged that if one denomination has a
church in the new Northwestern terri
tory, into which settlers are rushing, the
other three denominations will ask their
members to unite with that one church,
This means that in a generation there
will be but one church in Canada. Al
ready in Australia and New Zealand the
churches are federated. In England,
during the last few years, all the Pro-
testant bodies, save the Episcopalians,
have united in one great Nonconformist
union. The moderator of the Congrega-
tional church, DR.. Bradford, believes
that our Presbyterian, Congregational,
and Baptist churches can unite so as to
strengthen all, without losing any char
acteristic or idea or institution funda-
mental to only one"

Stra noe Cases.

A special to the Burlington'Free Press
from Washington dated April II, says:
District officials after a search of
more than week today ascertained
that two of the strangest insane persons
known to local physicians for many
years, Harrison C. Smith and his sister,
Helen Smith, are from New Haven. Vt.
They have been permanently committed
to st. Elizabeth insane asylum here and
as they were apparently people of prop
erty, efforts were made to communicate
with relatives. Both We're very uncom-
municative but it has been learned that
they have relatives in different parts of
Vermont and it is hoped those relatives
entitled to close interest in their affairs
will communicate with the District
board of charities.
'The cases were peculiar as brother
and sister had the same hallucinations.
He has been a student of the school of
Diplomacy at Columbia, university
here, and claimed at first to hail from
New York city. They claimed some
mysterious persons were throwing in
furious powders upon them. They have
been in Washington more than a year
and are the children of Timothy G.
Smith, many years ago consul at Odessa,
Russia.
They have lived here at good hotels
and paid their bills. They converse to-
gether in a foreign language. DIR.
Charles G. Marbury, their physician,
says the sister is a confirmed victim of
drugs. Morphine paraphernalia was
found upon her at the police station.
The brother although having the same
hallucinations, is said not to be user of
drugs"

Like the running brook, the

The springs of red blood are

some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone

The Rev. Samuel l.. Bates, who had
been long connected with the Congre-
gational churches of Vermont, having
been for more than forty years in the
ministry, died recently at Burlington.
Mr.. Bates was born in Brookfield

throughout his life and he had an active
part in gathering the data for the general
catalogue issued in 1900.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, June 21, 1904.
The temperature of the week
has averaged somewhat below
normal. General local showers
have occurred, heaviest still in
the northeast quarter, but suf-
ficieut to afford some relief even
in the very dry southwestern
counties, and more hopeful tone
is expressed throughout the Terri
tory.
Range is rapidly becoming
good in the northeastern districts
and improving generally through
out the northern counties while
in the northwest it is slowly
reviving. With another week of
light showers stock losses will
rapidly dwindle, although losses
are still reported, and some ranch
men are driven to great straits to
provide food and water for their
herds. Shearing has begun in
northern counties, and a con-
siderable quantity of the fleece
Is being marketed in central
portions. Districts favored by
rainfall, or having irrigation
water, report fair prospect, but
the acreage is so small compared
with the area unseeded, that the
results, at best, will be exceeding
ly meagre. Some northern dis
tricts continue to plant beans,
oats and sorghum and recent
showers will no doubt cause rapid
termination. Wheat is heading
very low, and in parts of the Rio
Grande valley farmers are cutting
it for hay; corn on irrigated
lands is doing well. Alfalfa
harvest continues in northern
sections with poor to fair yields;
upland farms showing large
patches which were killed by
drouth.
No material change is reported
in condition of fruits; shipments
of peaches are under way from
the Pecos valley, and early cher
ries are ripening ia northern
counties. Charles e. Linney,
Section Director.

NO JOINT STATEHOOD.
The National Convention at Chi
cago Gave Hon, B. s, ROdey
the Marble Heart,
DELEGATE BRODIE POSTS ROOSEVELT.
''Reealcitrant Republicans" Is What
New MexlcO's Delegate Calls Those
Opposed to the Merger.

The following notes of the Re
publican national convention at
Chicago are taken from the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat and are of
especial interest to New Mexico.
However, the intimation that
Governor Otero, II. o. Bursum
and the majority of New Mexico
delegates worked for a joint state
hood plank in the national plat
form, is erroneous. Says the first
dispatch:
Delegate Rodey, who represents
New Mexico in congress, is here.
He and small coterie of fol-
lowers have been making an eff
fort to have the convention adopt
a resolution declaring for Joint
statehood. He is meeting with
small encouragement, because the
discovery was made soon after he
began his laborS that Colonel
Brodle, a warm personal friend
of President Roosevelt, who
organized a company of Rough
Riders for the Spanish-American
war had been in Washington and
presented the matter in such
way as to completely checkmate
anything that Delegate Rodey
may hope to accomplish. There
will be no resolution indorsing or
favoring joint statehood if the
plans of the Republican leaders
are carried out.
Delegate Rodey made state
ment in which he said that the
New Mexicans were somewhat
divided on the joint statehood
question, but that about half of
them, of whom he seemed to be
the head, were reconciled to the
jointure of the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona as one state.
He took the position that as it
was the settled policy of the
Republican party to make but
two states from the four terri
tories, there should be a plank in
the platform to that effect. This
course, he believed, would drive
recalcitrant Republicans, as he
termed them, in both Arizona
and New Mexico, who still hope
for separate statehood, into the
party.
