Dear Sir
| wish to write you stating my DO
sltion in regard to the postmaster
matter here in Brattleboro. When
Col Taylor consented 10 leave the
matter 10 a caucus. / consider that
he did so wholly from a spirit of fair
ness, and that he thereby made con-
cessons which few men would have
done under the existing circum-
stances. and in accepting this method
OF deciding the matter it was with
the understanding on my part that a
friendly caucus should be held In
which TO avoid controversy that
might arise relative to eligibility to
vote, all of the legal voters, patrons
OF our local postoffice. should be given
an opportunity to express their choice,
and that their decision should decide
the matter. understand Col. Tay-
Ior's political friends seriously object
10 such caucus and that they refuse
him their support If that method is
,arried out, and that this has result
ed in Col. Taylor's deciding to with.
iraw his name as candidate. Now,
'airness to myself and my friends will
lot permit me to benefit from the DO
'ition in which Col Taylor is placed.
md II Is my wish that If you can con-
;istently relnstate the matter as it
vas before the caucus was decided
lpon, that you will do so, and I shall
lnder these conditions be pleased to
withdraw my name in favor of Col.
Taylor, who, from political stand
'oint, is certainly entitled to the Of
Ice My supporters concur heartily
With me in this desire and / trust that
his will enable you to make an early
ppointment.

DUMMERSToN IN TROUBLE AGAIN
License Commissioners "Ousted" by
New Selectmen.

Dummerston has furnished a new
sensation this week in the action of
the recently chosen board of select
men who have appointed a new board
OF license commissioners, o. w. Ami
don. Charles Wilson, and C. d. Sar-
gent, to take place of the old board.
Charles E. Glidden, George Warwick
and Bert Baldwin. The selectmen
claim that the old board has "lost its
job" by reason of failure to make an
annual report according TO law and
also because it did not report its find
ing in the Rogers hearing.
Outsiders look upon the action of the
selectmen as little else than a politi-
cal move against the faction which at
tempted to get control of affairs at the
last town meeting. Mr. Glidden.
chairman of the old board of commits
sioners, says that he does not think
the selectmen have any grounds for
such action. He says that the commits
sioners sent a report to S. w. Estey
chairman of the old board of select
men, Feb. s. in time for its publica-
ion in the annual town report but
hat it was not used. Relative to the
Rogers hearing he says he was advised
~ his counsel ]. L. Martin, to report
he boards findings only to the IL
ensee who was involved, and this was
lone. 1t Is very probable that the
ction of the new selectmen will be
ontested by Mr. Glidden and his as
ociates,

THE 3. S. GALLUP LUMBER CO.
What its Business Might Mean 70
Brattleboro.


The 3. S. Gallup lumber company
has drawn over 100000 feet of logs
to its Winhall mill thus far this sea-
son, and they are coming in at the
rate of 10000 a day now. The win
ter has been an unusually favorable
one for numbering operations and the
Shedding in the woods bids fair to con-
tinue for several weeks yet The Gal
lup company recently added 1900 acres
to its holdings making the total 1900
acres. B. S. Gallup, president Of the
company, says that IL he cannot make
satisfactory arrangement with the
Central Vermont railway company this
season for handling his lumber over
the narrow gauge, he will build a new
mill at Manchester and do all his next
winters logging from that point where
Shipment can be made over the Rut-
land railroad
The apparent indifference of the
Central Vermont railroad officials to
the requests of the Gallup lumber COM
pany Is one of the many things that
exasperate the Brattleboro & White-
hall stockholders as we'll as all of
Brattleboro business men. Mr.. GalIup
went to the Central Vermont head
quarters several months ago and prac-
tically offered to pay for the additional
equipment Wnlch the narrow gauge
needed to accommodate his business.
but the officials smilingly turned him
down. Few people have any idea of
what II would mean to Brattleboro If
the narrow gauge were equipped with
proper facilities for handling this lum-
Der traffic. The Gallup company ex-
poets to cut between 100000 and s.
100000 feet of lumber next season and
I this could be shipped directly to
Brattleboro it is probable that the
company would erect a large mill here.
This in fact, has been the intention of
he company ever since it began lum-
1ering operations in this section of
he state, but it will never come about
Is long as the rolling stock and mo-
i've power of the narrow gauge is
IS limited as at present.
Another important reason for the
equipment of the narrow
'auge Is the likelihood that the i'm
nense lumber deal involving over 12O.-
90 acres, which was stewing a few
months ago, may still be consummat-
d. The short -sightedness of the Cen
raj Vermont officials in this matter is
lustrated by the fact that the Gallup
lmber company's freight rates for one
eason would more than pay for all the
dditional equipment necessary to
andle the traffic properly.

which placed the matter in such a
light that 1t was almost impossible for
him to refuse. News of the recon-
mendation reached a number of Brat
ueboro politicians last evening by tel
ephone but 1t was not made public
until late this morning.
G. w. Wilcox, who supposed that
Col. Taylor was out Of the fight, hav-
ing heard nothing from him to the
contrary, began the circulation of

ONLY PROPELLER REMOVED.
Japanese Towing Destroyer Report
She Could Have Injured Them.

Chefoo, Aug. 1.-THE Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni, flying
the Japanese flag, was sighted nearing
the Elliott islands on the evening of
August II. She was being towed by a
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer. A
second one acted as escort.
The report that the japanese had left
the Rveshitelni at some Chinese port
probably arose from the report brought
by a Junk to the effect that when pass
ing Yung Ching bay south of Shantung
promontory, she saw one of the two
Russian destroyers which went ashore
there.
Japanese arriving here from Dalny
communicated with the destroyer es-
corting the Ryeshitelni and they were
informed that a careful examination OF
the Ryeshitelni after her capture by
the Japanese showed that the Russians
had not rendered her completely in
effective before her capture. A tor
pedo was still in torpedo tube, its
propeller only having been removed.
The torpedo towed by rowboats might
have been used effectively against the
japanese. 1t was also stated that
while the breeches of her guns had
been unhinged several remained on
board. The japanese consul here
states that his government has no idea
of returning the Ryeshitelnl.

Chicago, Aug. ,16.-Ihere were few
developments in the packers strike to-
day, and it is not proba BILE that there
will be any for several days. A COM
mittee of retail dealers will call upon
Mayor Harrison and ask him to act as
mediator in the strike. The mayor de-
clines to say what he will do until he
receives the committee, but expressed
himself as anxious to do anything in
his power to end the strike.
The hackers declined to say this af-
ternoon to say whether they would ac-
cept the mediation of the mayor.
They declared that they would, of
course. receive him.
Chief of Police O'Neil and Police In

Fitzgerald, who, it is asserted by the
police, has discharged the great major
ity of the rioters brought before him,
no matter how strong the evidence
against them.

FLEET WILL QUIT SMYRNA.
American Minister will Not Need 1T,
Now Turkey Has Yielded.

Constantinople: Aug. ia salts
factory solution of the American school
question has at last arrived. This
matter, which is the most important OF
the American demands, was settled by
extending too American schools the
same treatment as that accorded to the
schools under the protection OF other
powers.
A settlement of other matters affect

effected, and United States Minister
Leishman has telegraphed to Rear Ad-
miral Jewett, in command OF the

instructing him to salute the batteries
on land and depart.
The sitting of the council OF minis
ters at which the settlement was
agreed upon, was a long one, and it
was not until it's close that an agree

settlement is believed to have been
caused by the Intervention of the

LIKELY TO DESTROY BIG SHIPS.
Russia, so Toxic Believes, Will Not
Be Able to Repair Them.

Toxic, Aug. 16.-It is believed
here that the Russians will not be able
to repair the five battleships reported
by Admiral Togo to have been damaged
in the recent sea fighting at Port
Arthur. The Japanese land batteries
now command the entrance to the
harbor, and could render this work i'm
possible.
Before the Russian fleet emerged
from Port Arthur on August 10 the
Japanese batteries could reach the war;
ships there with shells ard the docks
were exposed to fire the severity of
which was increasing constantly. It
is doubted if these ships will be able to
60 10 sea again without first undergo
ing repairs, and it is expected that the
Russians themselves will destroy them
before Port Arthur falls.

Land Patents Held lJD.

Albany-Word has been received in
Albany by Ed Dorgan, the timber To-
Gator, from the interior department at
Washington, D. c., that Albany claim
ants OF timber land in the Klamath
and Lake county districts will have to
wait some time yet before receiving
their patents. All the claimants have
proved up on their claims and hold re-
ceipts from the local land officers, but
Messrs. Jones, Erickson and Brown,
the special agents sent out by Secretary
Hitchcock, have recommended that the
land be held up for further investiga-
tion. This is great disappointment
to the holders, who have waited for a
long time for their patents. And the
large number OF people in Albany who
have timber claims in the Eastern Ore
gon districts have considerable
amount of money tied up in the land.

Hop Market to Open.

Salem-Though 20 to 21 cents is free
ly offered for contracts for 1904 hops,
nothing of consequence is being done in
this market. Growers are preparing
for the harvest: which will begin about
September to 10, and are worrying
very little about prices. The hops in
this vicinity are in excellent condition,
so far as quality is concerned, and there
has been no change in the estimates OF
the probable yield. AL Jenuan, who
still holds 200 bales of hops of the 1903
crop, has refused an offer of 23H cents
pound for the lot.

HOP neN IN HIGH Glee.
Crop will Be Large, and Quality Bet
ter Than Last Year,

Albany-Plospects are very bright
for Linn county hopgrowers this year.
The yield is expected to be fully as
large as that of last year, and the quail
ity of the product much better.
The weather has been all that hop
men could desire, and the crop is free
from vermin. Picking will comm snce
the last of this month. The prices for
picking Will be the same as last year.
But few contracts for sale of hops
have been made up to this time. The
prevailing price for those few sales
that have been made is 20 to 21 cents.
Although growers have made no effort
to sell their hops before the season is
fairly opened, yet there does not seem
to be any disposition to hold the crop,
as there was last year. This is tb ought
to be due to the fact that the slump in
prices late in the season last year
caused loss OF thousands of dollars to
those who were holding for top prices.

Crops in John Day Valley.

Prairie City-The hay crop in the
John Day valley is this year as good as
usual, on an average. While some
stockmen are complaining over slight
ly inferior crop, others have harvested
superior one over those of previous
years. George W. McHaley harvested
25 tons of timothy hay from five-acre
parcel of land. Haying is now we'll
under way, and in about another week
the hay harvest will nearly tie complet-
ed. Only small amount of grain is
being grown here, but it is of good av-
erage quality. The fruit crop is excel
leut, with the exception of few orch
ards that was damaged by late frosts
and hail storms.
