In few more days we hope to have
the News plant better adjusted. A
four horse gasoline engine, just from
the factory, now gives ample power to
run all our presses at the same time,
if business demands it, and our press
room is being enlarged to almost double
its former capacity. Heretofore, we
have been cramped for room and power
which has put the Office rather on the
slow order in filling it's orders for job
work, but it will be different in a few
days, land if you need a good job, a
quick job, send in your order and see
with what of a suddenness we will fur
nish the goods.

may we ask? Just at present we are
learning fast that negro can play base

of the invention of negro which was
exploited in one of last weeks issues of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat: SIN the

young man was treated with perfect
respect" Pray tell us what other way
any self respecting newspaper would treat
an account of any meritorious invention
than in respectful way and why should
the fact that the inventor was a colored
man cause his work and himself to be
treated otherwise?

keith's Theatre.

The leading entertainers on the Keith
vaudeville program announced for the
week of August Z will be Olive May and
John W. Albaugh, Jr. These favorite
entertainers will be making their debut
at this popular playhouse, although they
are well-known and popular with theatre
goers generally. Lady Betty's High
wayman," their vehicle, is from the pen
of the well-known playwright, Justin
Huntley Mccarthy and is said to be one
of the best short plays now in varieties.
There will be wealth of amusing and
interesting entertainment in the sur
rounding show including several per-
formers who will be making their first
appearance in this city. Conspicuous
on the list are the Elton Polo troupe of
acrobats and aerial gymnasts; Dan Quin-
Ian and Kellar Mack, hilariously funny
black and white faced comedians; Dixon,
in acrobatic and eccentric dancing
specialties; the Avon comedy Four, in
their laughing farce "The New Teacher"
Vontello and Nina, in clever exhibition
on the flying rings; Barrett Brothers,
comedians and dancers, and j. Warren

the peace ENJOYS having arrived, the
investigations of state institutions re-
sumed and the question practically set
tied as to where shall 60 the pennant in
the Northern Vermont base ball league
we can prepare to attend the county
fair. While matters of greater moment
are chronicled daily than the program of
a coming cattle show it is safe to say
that Vermonter fails not to read the
latter even though he has to slight some
of the other happenings. 1t is this
loyalty to the county fair that has made
such an institution success in Vermont.
The county fair in Vermont has not de-
generated into three ring circus or a
vaudeville show pure and simple al
though vaudeville and circus attractions
are to be found at nearly every fair held
within the state. Cattle, horses, hens,
hogs and sheep form the basic elements
of successful county fair and here in
Vermont we can deliver the goods that
make possible genuine cattle show and
county fair.

A Communication.

EDITOR OF THE REGISTER: Under the
heading brains VS. CALI there ap-
peared in your paper of last week few
rather startling and amusing state
ments. In response to your invitation
l would like to call attention to them,
without necessarily entering upon a
discussion of the question itself. When
man attacks the business of another
it Is not fair that he misstate the facts.
1t is evident that the writer of the
article under discussion did have more
gall than brains. l realize that there
are lot of sharks in the business world
from whom it is hard to get satisfactory
amends for grievances relating to pur-
chases, but the whole spirit of the
article seems to be an attack on the
big houses like Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Montgomery, Ward & Co., and what
ever is said here, is said with a knowl-
edge of Ahe business methods of those
firms al houses like them.
Quoting the words of this good mer-
"cost, perhaps, S15 or $50 an acre, and
is now worth $50 or $50 an acre." more
than quadrupling in value. l agree that
the farmers in the vicinity of this town,
"small place" by the way, should
feel grateful to some one for this
astonishing Western growth. Were
these the Rev dictionary days when
farmers bartered all their produce directly
to the small merchant for the sugar and
tea he could not raise at home, he would
be under obligations, to some extent, to
the merchant for what little of success
was his. Today this does not apply.
Though the relation of buyer and seller
is necessarily reciprocal, to some degree,
l nevertheless contend that it is good
markets rather than good places to buy
that makes an individual or a nation

a bulletin, just published gives the COM
mercial value of railway operating prop
erty in the United States, computed for
the year 1904, as 81, 244, s52, 900. The
apportionment of this value among the
various states and territories gives YER
mont $37, 311 900. The bulletin states
under the heading of --latest reported

erty aggregating $27, 900. This
would show that taxation like dry
weather has a decided tendency to
shrink values.

HAY FEVER FOR 27 YEARS,
Well Know New England Woman Cured
of Hay Fever-Cure Was Lasting.

Well Know New England Woman Cured
of Hay Fever-Cure Was Lasting.
The thousands of discouraged people
who dread the approach of summer be-
cause they have hay fever and cannot
find any relief from it, will read with
interest and gratitude the following
statement from Helen S. Williams of
Mansfield, Mass.
"For q years, from the month of
August until heavy frost, 1 have been
afflicted with hay fever growing worse
and worse each year, until of late years
I was unable to attend to my work
during that period.
Last summer l fortunately gave
Hyomei a trial, and l am happy to
say that it entirely cured me, and
have had no occurrence of the disease
since"
This letter is only one of many that
have come to the proprietors of Hyo-
mel, and the results following this
treatment have been so remarkable
that it is proposed at the annual con-
vention of hay fever sufferers to recon-
mend Hyomei.
By breathing the germ-killing and
healing balsams of Hyomei anyone
can have, at any moment of the day,
either in their home or office, a eli
mate like that of the White Noun
tains.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
extra bottles 80 cents. w. H. Sheldon
agrees to refund the money to any hay
fever sufferer who uses Hyomei with
out benefit.

Vermont Weekly Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreet's for week show
ing season of year. Farmers are busy
with harvesting and caring for crops
which causes light trade from agricul-
tural districts. Many people are out of
town but those sections where there are
summer hotels report good trade. Rail-
road travel is heavy. In northern part
of State copious rains have assisted in
growth of crops and corn which was
backward is ripening fast. The farmer
reports good quality of hay and is re-
ceiving an average price of $1l per ton
for first grade.
Burlington manufacturing industries
are literally supplied with orders and
plants are running full time. Retail
trade is light in boots and shoes and
wholesale houses are having compare
lively good trade the demand is not
much larger than it was during cores
ponding period last year.
Rutland Industries are running full
time. The wrapper factory reports fall
orders coming in well but there is
tendency towards lighter buying owing
presumably to advance in wooden and
cotton cloths.
Considerable rain has fallen during
the past two weeks and this has had
tendency towards some quietness in re-
tail business although generally speak
ing business is reported good for season.
Some improvement is reported with COL
lections.
st. Adams reports crops in that Sec
ton very good. Usual amount of busi-
ness is reported among the retail houses
with collections fair.
With but few exceptions all of the
manufacturing plants at Montpelier are
running full time. One machine manu-
featuring business is selling out, pre-
paratory to going out of business. The
demand for boots and shoes as we'll as
dry goods has been light during the past
week.
Quarries at Barre report liberal supply
of orders and granite manufacturers are
nearly all running full handed. Retail
trade is little quiet but collections are
fair.
AT st. Johnsbury a slight falling off
in sales of feed and grain is reported,
presumably by reason of farmers being
busy with crops which in this section
are very good. The scale business is
much improved, new help is being en-
ployed.
The Pulp Plaster company at Bellows
Falls reports large buying. Labor is
fairly well employed in that section
while retail trade is little quiet.
Brattleboro reports brisk business in
nearly all lines of industry. Not as
much rain has fallen in this section but
crops are looking well.
The Bennington wooden business is
little quiet but business at other manu-
featuring industries is reported in good
condition. Retail trade shows some inn
provement while collections are gain
ing. The farmer predicts good crops.

While we touch editorially upon cur
rent events and matters of strictly news
importance we would have our readers
understand that by no means should
they judge the character of the Register
solely by its editorial or news columns.
Read the announcements of our adver-
tisers who are not only the leading mer-
chants of Middlebury and Addison
county but of Vermont, while our
"foreign" advertisers, SO called, are
among the best known in the country.
Great care is taken in admitting to the
columns of the Register none but re-
lia;le and clean advertisements of legiti-
mate advertisers, who do just what they
advertisesspd we believe that there are

prosperous. Our periods of greatest
prosperity are not the times when our
markets are flooded with foreign goods.
And since the farmers wool reaches the
trade in the end, what cares he whether
it goes through the large house or the
small? 1t is rather the merchants, if
any, upon whom the obligation rests.
Rather deterioration of the farm causes
deterioration of the town.
Again we read, "Now if you will
bring your catalogue here and compare
prices right through, if don't furnish
you the same articles, quality con-
sidered, as cheap or cheaper than the
mail order house, l will give them to
you" The burden of proof lies with
the merchant to prove that this is so.
These big firms buy at bankrupt and
fires sales and in such large quantities
that they get their goods cheaper than
does the small merchant. Frankly,
would like to be informed how the big
houses have attained their remarkable
growth if they haven't sold their goods
cheaper than the small merchant does
or can.
Again, "the mail order house will not
exchange" the unsatisfactory article
"unless you pay all the charges of re-
turn shipment" l have asked several
men who have dealt with the Chicago
firms and they all deny that this is
true. In one case mentioned, the firm
not only exchanged goods twice but
also. when the exchanged goods were
lost in the mail, sent duplicate order,
all this at their own expense.
In terse everyday speech it is "up'
to this merchant to prove his charges.
Respectively,

of Forest Products.

The annual value of the forest pro-
ducts of the United states, as enumer-
ated in the Twelfth Census, is nearly SIS
million dollars. If to this were added
the value of the firewood, farm material
and other forest products for which no
returns are available, very much larger
figure would be shown. Thus, as direct
source of wealth the forests of the
country have an immense, though not
exactly calculable, value, as source of
future supply and as protective cover
ing for watersheds.
Forest products are indispensable to
mankind, and their steadily increasing
price surely indicates that the demand is
encroaching upon the supply. 1t is
urgently important to the nation that
the yearly consumption of forest pro-
ducts and the amount of available timber
yet standing should be known.
In accordance with its policy of en-
couraging the preservation and proper
use of the forest, the Forest Service is
aiming to secure statistics for publication
in report in the hope that cooperation
with the industries concerned will make
possible an annual report entitled "For-
est Products of the United States"
This proposed report would give, by
States, regions and species the cut and
shipments of lumber, shingles, lath,
cooperage stock, ties, posts, and poles
during the year; the stock on hand at
the close of the year; and also the amount
of wood used in the various industries
for which wood furnishes the raw ma
terial, and the value of the products. 1t
would also give information concerning
the amount of stumpage in the hands of
lumbermen in various regions, how long
it will last at the present rate of cutting,
the extent of damage by forest fires, and
other important matters relating to the
forests of the country.

The Newport Express and Standard in
explaining the true inwardness of the
boundary question between Vermont and
Canada shows that there is a ridiculous
disregard of international law existing
somewhere in that region when it states
markers along the boundary have been
moved in times past to accommodate those
living along the route.
