The famous cutoff which crosses a
neck of the Great Salt Lake is report
ed to have taken another slump.
This may mean that all the engineer
ing labor that has been put into the
construction of this short piece OF
railroad will go practically for
naught. This cut off was put across
the lake to save the necessity OF build
ing the road a much longer distance
around and as planned it was to be
not only shorter but also cheaper.
Unexpected difficulties arose, how
ever. The pile construction origi-
nally planned proved failure, for

CHRISTMAS P1RDONS.

Burlington, Dec. "a. - Thomas
Lambert in States prison for two and
half years and George Haley in the
House of Correction for one and one
half years were today pardoned by
Governor Bell.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1904-12-29

Governor Bell has issued his first
pardon, but it is not a full .f1edged
one. He has oonditionally released a
Ludlow man who was sentenced to
prison for a minimum term expiring
last month and maximum term ex-
piring next April. So this caunot
really be charged up to the executive
az pardon. 1t is not generally eX-
pected that Governor Bell will be as
weak in this direction as his imme-
diate predecessor. The pardon busI-
ness has been so much overdone by
Vermont executives that there is quite
feeling of revolt among the people
against this procedure of olemenoy -
Rutland News.
Two men received Christmas pres
ents of conditional psrdons at the
hands of the Governor. Perhaps they
deserved them. The journal is not
acquainted with the facts closely
enough to know, but it certainly be-
lieves in letting the sentences of the
courts stand and be executed unless
there be really good cause shown why
a different course should be taken.
1t believes that no pardon, condition.
al or otherwise, should be granted
upon an ex parte hearing The statute
provides for full hearing, with pre-.
vious notice of such hearing to the
proner officials 10 represent the State.
Pardons should be handled with care.

All efforts to establish the Salvation
Army in Russia have SO far been of
no avail, said Gen. Booth at Guild

Many Vermont towns are in i'm
minent danger of distress from lack
of water, but conditions generally
throughout the State are much less
serious than in other sections of the
country. Rutland News.
Vermont will be fortunate indeed if
this winter goes by and there is no
really serious water famine So much
excessively cold weather early in the
season has resulted in the ground
being frozen to such a depth that the
SHOWS and rains which come now will
not affect the springs as they need to
be helped 1t seems that it would be
the part of wisdom for Montpelier to
begin even now to be careful in the
use of water. A shortage of water
before spring is by no means out of
the range Of possibility and perhaps
not Of probability

Awoman.s Complexion

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greksiness
OF the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

Carl Joubert in Nineteenth Century.
There are soldiers in Manchuria at this

how badly the Russian naval gunner

letters, written by soldiers at the front,
which go far to account for the total

One speaks of men voluntarily sur

Development Of Wisconsin.


That Northern Wisconsin lands
are a good investment was proved
on a large scale by the result'of an
operation which illustrated also the
far sighted wisdom of the late Ezra
Cornell. To 1868 he gave to Cornell
University as an endowment fund
$3.50. 900. invested in 100000 acres
ofsW!sconsin lands. The lands were
gradually disposed of for the bene-
of the University, the last Of them,
to the amount of Sc, 900 acres located
mostly in Chippewa, Gates, Sawyer,
Price and Taylor counties, being
purchased two years ago by James
l., Gates for $3.50, 0l0, or the same
sum which Mr., Cornell had paid for
the whole. The profit realized by
the University on the entire tran
saction was $13, 100000. That Mr.
Gates believed in Northern Wiscon-
sin lands was demonstrated by other
purchases aCgregating 100, 600 acres
made by The Gates Land Company
at about the same time. These
were cut.Over timber lands, and were
acquired from Weyerhauser & Denk-
mann, the W. J. Young Lumber
company, the Chippewa Lumber
and Boom Company and the Chip
pewa Logging Company.
Settlers have been moving into
Northern Wisconsin, and improve
ment has been marching forward
throughout the region during the
past ten years. There are acres
which Ezra Cornell purchased for so
cents that are now worth 800 apiece.
1t Used to be supposed that the agri-
cultural possibilities of Northern
Wisconsin were limited. Better in
formation is current now. Northern
Wisconsin farms contribute many of
the exhibits which have attracted
atten ton in Wisconsin's notable
agricultural display at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair.
Wisconsin has been called the
Empire State of the West. Few
common wealths of the American
Union equal it for variety and rich
ness of industrial resources, and in
the enterprise of its population it is
excelled by none. With an area ex-
ceeding by nearly 1000 squire miles
that of the EN- pire state Of the east,
it's population is less than one third
as great But the settlement of
New York began in 1927, while the
settlement of Wisconsin practical
ly dates from the Black Hawk War,
which was fought in 1882. Is it
hazardous t. predict that long be
fore the laps OF two centuries from
the present time Wisconsin will be
the abode of seven milliOrs OF pros
porous people?-Evening Wisconsin.
