New York, May l1,--0ne of the
greatest dry goods jobbing houses

1854, has adopted a policy OF
gradual liquidation. After meet.

ent business conditions, the officers
and board Of directors of the cor.
poration have concluded to adopt o
policy of gradual liquidation, with
out at present determining the
question whether the company shall
be ultimately wound up or shall
continue its business.
1t is the belief of the officers
and board of directors that the as
sets of the company are able to pay
all business obligations and leave a
good surplus for a dividend for the
stockholders holding preferred
stock. I"
Ten bankers and manufacturers,
representing one-half the firm s
entire liabilities, will act as an ad-
visory committee. The concern is
capitalized at 81, 100000, divided
into common and preferred
shares. The tendency recently de-
veloped ON the part of manufactur
ers to eliminate the jobber or mid.

Britain, therefore, has the least ex-
tent Of forest land in Europe, and
Sweden has the largest.
Most European nations do not
produce enough wood for their
domestic consumption. Great Brit
ain imports 1t each year to the value
of $l0O,00O,00O, Germany $lA.
100000; Belgium, $l4,00,OOOi
Spain and Italy $6,000,0O0; France
imports timber to the value Of SOS,
100000 and her exports of the
same amount to $s,000,000.
The only European countries
that produce all the lumber that
they consume are Austria, Sweden,
Norway and Russia. These eoun
tries are richer in forests than Can
ada or the United States. For the
last 20 years the demand for lum.
ber for manufacturing purposes
has steadily increased, whereas
wood for fuel is growing constant
ly less in demand.
Year by year more wood is be-
ing employed for conversion into
cellulose. Norway, which in 1876
produced $500 tons for cellulose,
from the year 1899
and onward no less than $4,000
tons.

British Believe Thibetans Are Re-

Oriental Neighbors,
MANY NATIVES SLAUGHTERED
Two Hundred and Fifty Killed
of Force That Opposed Ad.
vance of Colonel Young.
husbands Men.

New York, May 11.-Mounted
infantrymen returned May s to
camp on the Karola and reported
that they had killed $50 Thibetans
during the pursuit after the force
that opposed the advance of Col
onel Younghusband's s mission, says
a Times dispatch frim Gyang Use,
Thibet.
There is some suspicion of col.
lusion between the Thibetans and
the Chinese. Two English rifles
were reeaptured, one of which had
been lost by Lieutenant Grant at
Phari some months ago.
The Thibetans have strongly
fortified Jong and open fire upon
every one approaching the town
Some hundreds have taken resi-
denec in the monastery, whence
they have opened fire upon the
British troops. Persons of import
ance arrive daily at Jong, and
L'Hassa sends conscripts from
monasteries and villages in wide
radius.
In the attack on the mission
compound on May s, when eight
servants were killed, the Thibet.
ans actually gained the walls. Only
their shouting betrayed them in
time to prevent indiscriminate
slaughter of the post, which had
been weakened by the detachment
of men for an expedition. The de-
tenders were quickly in position
and drove off the invaders. The
sick men in the hospital insisted in
joining the fighters and gave valu-
able assistance.
The correspondent adds that Col
onel Brander's victory at Karola
probably viii have great effect, but
it is clear the Thibetans contem-
plate a combined effort to extermi-
nate the mission.

Holders of San Francisco Bonds Want
Their Interest.
San Francisco, May IL. Some
Of the holders of Montgomery ave.
nue. bonds are proposing bringing
suit against the state for the prin.
cipal and interest remaining un-
paid. 1t has been decided repeat
edly that the city is not liable. Ac
to the federal constitution,
a state can not be sued without its
consent. By a law passed in 1903
California has given formal con.
sent to have itself sued in matters
involving a violation of contract or
where negligence is shown. 1t is
under this law the bondholders are
to sue.
There were $1,500,0OO Of these
bonds issued in 1875, bearing 6 per
cent per annum. They matured
last year and the unpaid interest
amounts to 100000. Holders of
$847 900 are interested in the pro-
posed suit. Many of these securi-
ties are held in London and Paris.

victlms of Chicago Tragedy.


William Chaplin of Middlesex has
lust received a letter from his SOD,
William A., in Chicago, full of sad
ness, which places the enormity of
suffering very near the family hearth
stone. Mr.. Chaplin in his letter stated
that four members of his family were
among the victims of the Disaster
bis wifes mother, Mrs. Matilda
Moore, and his three little nieces.
Mrs. Moore's body was found the
next day. A weary, heartrending
search of two days and two nights
through the dismal morgues of Chi
cago ended in finding the three little
lifeless forms.
Maple Sugar Makers and Dairymen.
The Vermont Sugar Makers Asso-
citation, the Vermont Dairymen's
Association and the Woman's Auxil-
larry to the Dairy mems Association
were all in evidence at Burlington
Tuesday. The sugar makers COM
pleted their meeting in the morning;
the dairymen began their meeting in
the afternoon; and the woman's
auxiliary held forth in the evening.
Two important papers were read in
the morning, one of "Tne Effect of a
Pure Food Law upon the Maple Sugar
Industry of Vermont" by M. D. Nc
Mahon of Burlington, and one, 'The
Advantages of Improved Utensils for
Increasing the Product of the Maple
and of Uniform Package for Market
ing the Same" by G. Fl. Grimm, Rut-
land. From point of interest and
attendance the meeting of the Won
ans Auxiliary to the Vermont Dairy
mems Association was a very sue
cessful one. Prof. j. L. Hills of the
University of Vermont spoke on the
subject Concerning Vermont Dairy
Schools" Senator Proctor spoke
Interestingly for some time, paying a
tribute to the associations in session
by saying that he had seen no move
lnent in Vermont calculated to be of
more benefit to the State. The Hon.
Gift ord Pinchot of Washington, in a
N asterful manner, spoke on the sub
je ct of Forestry in New England"

We are in receipt of the following
article from G. w. Morrow showing
some of the results of the license law
in Burlington:
Burlington last year under prohibi-
ton had only ITO DRINKS before the
courts. This year from May to
December the doors of the county
Jail have closed upon 379. There
have been 610 criminals of all sorts
locked up in the county Jail in the
same seven and one. half months.
Burling toms costs in liquor cases
for the three months of July, August
and September have aggregated
1889 %, while she has collected from
fines only 1904 60, leaving US with a
deficit of 1854 IS for the three months.
There have been alternative or forced
imprisonments from Burlington in
county Jail and Rutland work house
aggregatiug 3O28 days, making the
state board bill, at so cents day, of
S1b14, which is at the rate of $24O0 a
year.

MEETING OF AGRICULTURAL So
CIETIES.

The past week may be appropriately
referred to as Farmers Week, as
several of the organizations formed
in the interests of agriculture held
conventions at Burlington The 34th
annual convention of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association was held, also
a meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary
to the Dairymen's Association, and a
meeting of the Sugar Makers Asso-
citation. J. A. Gallagher of Crafts
bury, president of the Farmers
Legislative Organization, called a
meeting of the officers of that asso-
citation at the same time for the
purpose of outlining needed legisla
ton in the interests of agriculture.
These meetings were all we'll attended
and the farmers present undoubtedly
obtained new ideas as we'll as added
enthusiasm in their work, which should
help to bring good results. During
the past year the grange has added
one thousand members to its list and
this with the increased interest which
is manifested in the meetings of this
society and of the other organizations
proves that farmers are more alive
than ever before to the need of new
ideas in their work and to concerted
action. There is no reason why the
farmers should not get any needed
legislation as they can control the
legislature. However if they are to
be benefited by legislative action they
must send capable men to represent
them. Men who are sent to the
legislature because it happens to be
their turn in many cases are of no
great help in formulating laws which
will be of benefit to any one. Men
should be selected as representatives
who have some ideas of their own
and who are thoroughly conversant
with the needs of the farmers of the
state and will be able to do effective
work. However the farmers of the
state must remember that legislation
can only open up avenues to success
and if they are to profit thereby they
must give faithful attention to their
work and make the most of the OPP
nortunigies afforded them. If
larger number of the farmers would
keep a strict account of everything
and conduct their farming more in
accordance with the rules which
govern the successful business man
many who are now finding it hard to
provide for their families would then
fnd themselves possessed of a little
something to lay aside at the close of
each year.

the plans of wealthy men in the

which necessitate the removal of the
standing timber to the sawmills. The

rupted by DIR. Webb's fence, will now
be open to canoes, as will many other
waterways.
