Whatcom creamery, now known as
Smith & Company's creamery. This es-
enlistment has thrived so we'll that
it has paid two annual dividends. The
second dividend of five per cent has
Just been declared, and A. Pancoast,
tt easurer of the company, is passing
substantial checks around among the
shareholders. 1t is interesting to re-
call that the majority of those who
subscribed for stock in the original
concern did so from philanthropic mo-
tives and never expected to get returns
in the shape of dividends. One local
firm which has kept account of its
subscriptions to industrial enterprises
arranged the money thus expended in
two columns. One was designated as
stock from which dividends were ex-
pected, and the other was called do
nations. Strange to say, out of about
twenty subscriptions to stock COM
panies, the money which was put into
the Whatcom creamery, and which
was assigned to the donation column,
is the only one of them all that has
returned dividends.

Good Work in the Eden Bank.

The financial statement for 1903 of
the Eden Bank creamery at Sardis, B.
c., shows the concern to be in excel
lent condition. The business done dur
ing 1902 and the cost of making butter
has been reduced from 3.03c to 2.62c
per pound, due to the higher price
that was received for the butter dur

September LIST they have sold three

an average price of 1926 cents per Id.
of butter fat.
Mr.. A. G. Wells, the president, states
that much credit is due to the patrons
for the good quality of the butter
turned out. They have co-operated
with the management by furnishing
good, clean milk and cream. To this
fact Mr.. Wells rightly attributes the
fact that the Eden Bank brand has
been able to command the highest
prices during the year.

Judge Stafford's Address.

''The Making of Vermont" was the
title of a scholarly address by Judge
Wendell P. Stafford of the supreme court
of Vermont at the smoke talk of the Ver-
mont Association at Hotel Westminster,
Boston, Saturday night. More than
hundred members OF the association,
which has it's headquarters now in the
Westminster, were present.
Judge Staford's address concerned the
early history of Vermont, in the days
when New York and New Hampshire
quarrelled as to which owned the big
strip OF land lying between them. Each
claimed it according to the terms of the
Kings grant, and seemingly each had
a right. So ii came about that the Gov
ernor of each state allotted the land to
farmers in his respective state, and
there was a long period OF controversy,
taking the form of a great lawsuit.
On the one hand, according to Judge
Stafford, was arraigned the aristocracy
of New York, having behind it the
grant of the crown. On the other was
ranged the Puritan spirit of the states
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts,
and so it took the form of moral issue
that was OF great moment in the open
ing up of Vermont. After New Hamp-
shire abandoned it's claim to the terri
tory, the men of Vermont took up the
struggle and declared themselves an in
dependent state, holding their independ-
ence from 1776 to 1871. Then they
came into the Union, making the 18th
state.
Judge Stafford paid stirring tribute
to the men who are associated with the
founding OF the state. Josiah FL. Benton
Jr. presided.
