only adds one more to long list OF
investigations undertaken since Roose-
welt became president. He bids fair
to 90 down into history as the cham
pion investigator, and is probably
proud Of the title, for the work thus
far has been important, and in the
aggregate it promises to put the ex-
ecutive departments on a better work
ing basis than they have occupied for
almost century.
All these executive departments, ex-
cept the department of commerce and
labor, are patterned on models in
vogue in the early part of the nine
\teenth century, when the country was
small and business methods were crude
and laborious.
The postoffce department, for ex-
ample, is still following the model made
for it in 1889. There have been some
improvements. but in the main the old
system prevails and gives tone to the
knows something about the Anticipated
and expensive system used by the post
office department., because it is brought
into closer touch with it than with the
other departments; but what is true in
the postoffce department is true else,
wherein the treasury, the interior de-.
partment, the department. of Justice, the
navy department. and in a smaller de-
gree in the war department..
The reorganization of tho war de-
partment few years ago gave oppor,
tuIity for the abandonment of the old
system, and while there is still much to
be done, it is pointed in the right direc-
ton, and in time will work it's way out
OF the past and into the present.

Pueblo, Colo, Feb. A. Lewis,
better known as art" brakeman

rived in the city from his run and
told OF an experience he had with
wolves at Eads, Colo, about forty
miles from here. in Kiowa county.
Mr.. Lewis was braking on the Mis-

caused the train to be sidetraclted.
He went back with his torch to nag
an on-coming train. AS soon as he
had gone far enough. he stopped,
when he heard the bowling of what
he supposed to be coyotes. In few
minutes large pack of these ami
mails were upon him. He kept them
at bay, however. with his torch, but
these torches do not burn more than
ten minutes, SO he knew he would
have to make for his train. He left
fuse on a tie. and then slowly
backed toward his train, reaching it
Just before the hungry animals were
upon him. He was badly frightened.
and today shows the mental agony
he underwent while in the midst of

The first trial of LaFair occurred
at the fall term of the district court
in this city in October. 1908, and the
occasion of the trial brought people
from all parts of the county to be
present There We're a great number
of witnesses both for the prosecution
and for the defense. The trial re-
suited in LaFair's conviction of muir
der in the second degree. Judge
Stevens at the time then sentenced
him to term in the state peniten-
tiary of from 10 to 12 years.
LaFair was not taken at once to
the penitentiary, and in the mean
time the attorneys for the defense,
Samuel n. Wheeler and Judge C. F.
Caswell obtained supersedias from
the supreme court of this state with
out bonds. The supreme court la
ter reversed the rulings of the low
er court and remanded the case back
to the district court OF Mesa county
for a new trial.
The second trial of LaFair oc-
Cured at the March term of the dis

bitterly fought by both sides as be-

for the two sides and brilliant efforts
both for the prosecution and defense

CURED about 1870 O'Clock on the
morning of that day in the Bowman

The killing was the result of a

cation for the taking of the life of
Eben T. Massey, on account of the
dire threats that had been made by
Massey against LaFair.
On the other hand the prosecution
endcavored to show that LaFair was
a bad man with record; that it
was a feud of his own making; that
he had had an unsavory reputation
before. and that LaFair was not his
own name, and that the name by
which he was known was an assumed
name to hide his past career.
At the second trial he was con-
victed of manslaughter and he was
given an indeterminate sentence in
the state penftentiary of from six
to eight years.
Ever since his Incarceration in the
state penitentiary. Messrs. Caswell
and Wheeler have made the most
strenuous efforts in LaFair's behalf
to secure pardon for him. This
effort was crystallized along in De-
cember by filing a petition for par
don before the board of pardons of
this state. The petition then filed
by Messrs. Caswell and Wheeler con-
tanned the names of ten of the Jury
men at the trial who sat on his case.
According to the court records n
protest against granting the pardon
was fled by the attorneys for the
prosecution. The question of the
pardon came before the board of

Vermont Forestry Association.

The Forestry association of Vermont
has completed its first year OF exist
ence. During this time it has held
four public meetings. The first was
held in Burlington. January 9Th, 1904,
and was addressed by Hon. GiHoro
Pinchott, Forester of the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture, the second,
also in Burlington, January 18th, 1904,
addressed by Prof. Henry Graves, d.
rector of the Yale Forestry school. the
third in Montpelier, November, 10Th,
1904, during the session of the legis-
lature, addressed by DR.. B. e. FernoW,
late chief of the Division of Forestry,
U. S. Department Of Agriculture and
DR.. P. w. Ayers, Forester of the New
Hampshire association, and the fourth
was held in connection with the an
nual meeting at Montpelier, Jan. Il,
1905, also addressed by DR.. Fernow.
At the last session of the legislature
a law, prepared by the association,
was passed, and has gone into effect,
authorizing the governor to designate
a member of the Board of Agriculture
to act as Forestry Commissioners ana
the governor has designated the sec
rotary of this association as such COM
missioner. This law creates forest
fire warden in each town. 1t also
commands, under penalty, that fires
started in or adjacent to woodland be
totally extinguished before they are
abandoned. 1t also forbids the burn
ing of brush, etc, under dangerous
conditions. The forestry commissioner
is also authorized to do educational
work. This law is not regarded as
ideal but is believed to mark an i'm
portant step in advance.
During the coming year the associa-
ton desires to decidedly extend its
work. 1t would be glad to hold public
meetings in the larger towns and cities
of the state to be addressed by the
best talent obtainable. 1t would like to
be able to send its local speakers to
every town in the state, where
oranges, nature clubs, or other local
would furnish a hall
and an audience.
We believe there is no direction in
which the material interests of the
state can be so certainly and to so
large an extent improved as through
a dissemination of practical ideas in
respect to forestry. The woodlands
of the state are now producing some
thing like s1O,OOO,O0O per year. With
out improved methods of handling
wood and timber lands this product
must rapidly diminish. By correct
methods the industry may remain a
permanent one. 1t is entirely possible
that the state should add to its annual
increase of wealth millions of dollars
simply by properly utilizing lands now
largely or wholly unproductive of
timber and which are useless for ag-
ricultural purposes.

Basketball Notes.

The Delphi athletic club Of Hart
ford Conn will play the Independents
next Tuesday evening. After the
hair raising game that this team gave
the Independents earlier in the season
their second appearance ought to draw
a large crowd.
A team representing the local
Knights OF Columbus was defeated
by the Bellows Falls X. of c. team at
Bellows Falls Saturday evening by a
score of IL to 10, although the visitors
claim that the winning goal was
thrown after the final whistle had
blown and that the score should there
fore be 10 to in favor of Brattleboro.
A third and deciding game between
these two teams will probably be
played in this town within a few
weeks
The event of the local basketball
season comes this evening when the
Independents will meet Company d
of st. Johnsbury in the second of the
series which is to decide the state
championship. The Independents lost
the first game at st. Johnsbury sew
eral weeks ago but they are much
stronger now than they were at that
time, and with the advantage Of the
home floor expect to make the soldiers
from Caledonia county look like tyros
at the game. Jimmie" Doran, who
has been playing with Brattleboro re-
Gently and has demonstrated his abili-
ty at the game, viii be matched
against McGovern, Company DIS pro-
fessional coach, and the contest that
these two men will put up ought to be
worth the price of admission.
