one OF tho finest THANKSGIVING procla-

mont, was that Of Governor Frederick
Ilolbrook, who is still living and bright
in mind in his 92nd year. 1t began as
follows:
until the coming Of that blessed king
dom when the wolf shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the Kid, and the calf and the young lion
and the failing together and little child

Now the great problem in this whole
matter is how to reconcile the two antag-
onistic interests named, and enact legisla-
volved After what has beon said IL can
readily be seen that this is no easy task,
and that the difficulty of reaching a sat

certain to increase with the revolving
years and the rapid multiplication of
horseless carriages.

STREAM MEASUREMENTS IN YER
MOST.

The work of the united states Seologi-
cal survey in the tas ng OF the streams
of Vermont and d. mining their water
supply and water power possibilities IS
of great economic luportance and scien-
tific interest TO the state. says report
of the bureau The recent report Of the
hydrographic branch of the geological
survey under which the measurement
stations are maintained, shows that ON
the rivers tributary 10 Lake Champlain
there have been established permanent
gnging stations at The following points:
Missisquoi river az Swanton lAmolle
river, at West Milton Winooski river,
at Wnooski and Nichmcnd; and Otter
Creek, At Middlebuv.
Concerning the Mi,-Isluoi river the re-
port states that il has total drainage
area of $50 square miles OF which no
square miles lie in canada 1t has its
headquarters IN the highlands west of
Lake MemphremagoR thence flows
southeriy through canada and westerly
through Vermont into Lake Champaign.
It is further stated that there is no
great amount OF lake or artlhcial stor-
ago in the basin and that while at
many points water power Is in use,
the storage at such power plants Is IN
variahly small Tho United states gag
ing station at Swanton is located about
three -eishths of mile from the East
Swanton railway station and Is marked
by chain gage attached to the steel
highway bridge on the road from Swan
ton to st Adams, the amount of water
flowing In the stream varies widely; at
times the river carries considerable
amount of water which If 1t could be
maintained |ould AFFORD possibilities OF
extremely large and profitable water
powers. On the other hand, the river
fails to very low levels ANA is of little
value for power at such times.

COMMODITY. NOT MONEY.

But There was an extraordinary foa-
ture of the shipment of ten days ago.
namely. that 1t WAS concident with an
unprecedented export Of cotton. The
explanation, however. was very sirplc.
1t was cheaper and easier 10 buy gold i'm

in that Of London. and it 50 happened
that Just at th,lt time Germany ne"dc1
gold. The presumption was then aud ,s
low very strong here that Russia has
been discountins some short time notes
in tho German market.
FROM one point Of view the history
told ton days ago WAS rctold yesterday.
For, there began Yesterday renewed gold
exports, the metal going urque stionablv
rs a commodity and not in payment Of
any obligation. Ir principle, It was
bought and sold in our market exactly'
ms gold is bought and sold in the Lon
don market. At the same time there
came from WASHINGTON n most Eratif,

the month of October That commerce
which gave us an apparent trade bal
unce of little in excess Of $1,000. $780,
would Of itsclf furnish sufficient means

that again We shah have created an
apparent trade balance OF approximately
$500 Go o0maxing IN the past eight years
considerably in excess of 5000, p00
of balance in favor OF the United states
in its International trade
There are, however. some striking
changes noticed, When attention WAS
trst called to the tendency to Increase
the exports OF American manufactured
products, some were OF the opinion that
that was only L spaSmOdic, an ephemcral
movement. Others were disposed to
doutt the accuracy Of the figures, claim

ALOHA MAKES A
FAST PASSAGE

The schooner Aloha arrived yesterday
morning from San Francisco after 6
quick passage of twelve days. The Alo
ha arrived off port Saturday night and
came into the harbor yesterday morn
ing, nooring alongside the schooner Ka
Moi at the Allen wharf.
The Aloha left San Francisco on, De-
cember 81 and was fortunate in meet
ing with a steady blow which drove her
directly toward the Islands. There was
only one day of bad weather, this when
the vessel was three days out from Sar
Francisco. During the night two jib-
sails We're blown away, but no other
damage or losses resulted.
The longest run in one day was 22S
knots and the shortest run was ninety
knots.
A German gasoline schooner was
sighted four days out from San Fran
cisco, evidently bound for some port
in the South Seas. The first mate is of
the opinion she was going to Samoa,
en- route from San Francisco.
The Aloha brought a cargo of general
merchandise.
