Growinu Towns.

There are already signs of industrial
growth in the State. The Bellows Falls
Times thus speaks Of the signs of i'm
provement in that hourishing village:
The business depression which was
about to envelope Bellows Falls accord
ing to the faith of some does not envel-
ope worth a cent. A local carpenter
and lumber dealer said the other day
that the prospects for a large amount OF
building during the coming season was
as bright as it had been for several years.
He thinks there will be more building of
residences than there was during the
past two or three years. This means
more work for the carpenters and
masons and something doing all along
the line. Bellows Falls has too much
vitality to lie quietly down and allow the
moss to accumulate

make out his order for goods, send the
same direct to the distant mail-order
house, and in due time have the goods
delivered directly at his door by the
rural mail carrier.
"For the past two years there has been
before Congress a bill commonly known
as the Parcel Post Bill, which provides
for the consolidation of third and fourth
classes of mail matter and making the
limit of weight for packages eleven
pounds for which the maximum rate
from one point in the United States to
another is twenty-five cents.
"Should this bill ever become a law it
means a revolution Of the present system
of merchandising and will be the means
of making the country town thing of
the past. The manufacturer of food in
Battle Creek, Mich, can ship eleven
pounds of his product to the farmer in
Texas or California for twenty five cents,
and the importer of tea in San Francisco
can ship an eleven pound caddy of tea
b
route in Vermont, for the small sum of
twenty-five cents.
/ THUS it can be seen that the Parcels
Post system as proposed by its supporters
will drive the middle man out of bust
ness, will annihilate the small merchant
and when the small merchants trade is
destroyed the country town becomes a
graveyard of business.
Another feature of the parcels post
measure is that the greatest benefit will
accrue to a very small number of people
who are engaged in the mail-order bust
ness.

ficial eve. As the statue stands, the Bird Woman's nose is that of Min erva or Queen Boadicea, except for the papoose upon Sacajawea's back. No body, of course, knows that all squaws appear alike after they have become well what the average Indian wife looks like, but chose to represent the soul of her splendid subject rather than the body, and she was quito right.
 Sacajawea the Strong. She was uu- doubtedly named thes Bird Woman because of her quick, agile movements in early girlhood. Her story is pa thetic and romantic. She was a Sho- shone Indian Her people once covered the whole region from Oregon to the plains eastward of the Rocky Noun tains, but were gradually driven west ward by the Minnetarees, or Blackfeet. In one of the Blackfeet raids the Sho- shone child Sacajawea was taken pris- oner. The Blackfeet did not kill her because girls could readily be sold as slaves. Those who believe that every event is exactly cut and dried before hand by some invisible power might see in the capture and sale of the lit tle Bird Woman a special act of this mower for the benefit of the white ex- nlorers who were to trek through the western wilderness several years later.
 The person who bought Sacajawea was a white man; at least he was half white, part French, part Indian. His name was Chabonneaus. Saca- jawea was fifteen when he bought

her, and Chabonneaus made her his slave wife. He had two other slave wives, but the little Bird Woman seems to have been the pick of the lot. At any rate, three years later, when Sacajawea was eighteen and when Lewis and Clark hired Chabon- neau to go along with them as inter- preter during their expedition, Chab- onneau took Sacajawea with him to serve him. She had little baby two months old, but that made no differ enceo She could and did tie the baby upon her back and could and did work just the same. The small matter of a baby did not hinder her in the least from rowing a canoe. chopping wood. pitching a tent ana cooking for her master.
 Sacajawea and Chabonneau were added to the Lewis and Clark party at the village of Mandan nation, on the Missouri River, up which the ex- plorers had travelled in rowboats l. 600 miles. They left St. Louis May IA, 1904. They established friendly relations with the Mandan tribe, win tered at Fort .Mandan, then in the spring-April ', lSO5-broke camp and started on their painless journey west ward to the Pacific Ocean. From that oOON> angel of the party Fearless, resource full, patient and gentle. sine lived only to serve the expedition and take care of her baby, that, again, was no ob- struction work speaking of.
 The expedition went from Fort Man. dan f,S00 miles up to the head waters of the Missouri River in canoes. Saca- jawea, Chabonneau and the baby went together in a canoe containing the ex- plorers' papers and instruments. Cf these they had charge. Once the ca noe. caught in a rapid turned about and dipped in the water, bundle or the precious papers floating off. Chah- onneau jumped out and made for the shore to save his own precious life. The Bird Woman righted up the canoe, bailed it out a bit and padded after the papers. which she happily saved.
 At a station on the head waters of the Missouri the party took horses and travelled over the mountains It was nere that Sacajawea's influence and resourcefulness proved most val
