Wonderful Horse Advaneer Not a RIno

Wonderful Horse AdVaneer Not a Ringer.
There has been considerable talk as
TO Advancer, 2.11k. being a ringer, and
last week, Secretary Knight of the Amer
lean Trotting association paid Brandon
Vt.) farm a visit to have a look at this
tall, racing appearing trotter, who should
be one OF the cracks OF the 2.l2 class in
1905. According to Ira Chase's state
ments, which are backed up by many
well-known Vermont horsemen, Advancer
is six years old, and is by Ormond, 2.27H,
a son OF Happy Medium, out OF Stella r.,
daughter of Advance, son of Onward,
There are three sisters to Advancer on the
farm owned by Mr.. Chase, and all bear
a marked likeness to their speedy brother,
taking after their dam in general ap-
pearance. Estella r. is a grand type OF
brood mare, and Trainer Batchelder says
that inside couple OF years she will be
triple producer of 2.10 speed. Ormond,
who is considerably over 20 years Of age,
is well preserved horse. reminding one
a great deal OF Nancy Hanks. His op-
portunities for getting speed have been
rather limited. AS a four-year-old he was
sold from Fairlawn farm by General
Witham to DR.. Seward Webb, who kept
him for years as a driving horse When
the doctor went in for hackneys Ormond
was sold and finally became the property
OF Chase.-lManchester Union.

The Bellows Falls high school foot ball
team has played seven games this season
against some OF the strong school aggre-
cations OF this state and New Hampshire

STATE. In Saturdays game at Keene, N
H.. between Keene and Bellows Falls high
schools neither side scored, but the calling
OF time in the second half was all that
saved Keene, as the ball was nearly over
the line. The Keene Sentinel, which gave
detailed report OF the game, said: "The
whole Bellows Falls back field did good
work and M Pierce, at tackle, was tower
OF strength. The visitors showed them
selves to be the best eleven that has
played here this year"
The football season to all intents and
purposes will end tomorraw, Saturday

Princeton and won 2S-4, the Tigers get
ting the first points OF the year against
Yale toward the end OF the second half
on field goal by Tooker from the 43
yard line. Dartmouth went to Cambridge
Saturday expecting to take Harvard's
measure, but the result was a tie. 6-6.
Dartmouth scored first, but Harvard also
secured a touchdown and goal in the first
half. Four OF Harvard's star PLAYERS
were kept out OF the game Saturday SO
as to be ready to meet Yale tomorrow.
From comparative scores there should
be no question about Yale's winning. The

Mhetstone Brook.

A dam on MILESTONE brook at an elev-
alton Of 600 feet would give an ample
water supply, as the area of the
watershed is about 1915 square miles
The engineer says that judging from the
appearance OF the bed OF the stream, the
slime covered stones, etc, he is OF the
opinion that the quality of this water is
the least desirable OF any OF the sources
examined. The importance OF this stream
to mill owners is also a sufficient reason
to debar using II as long as other sources
are equally available.
At an elevation OF 600 feet most of the
water powers below would be practically
ruined, and this might lead to loss Of
population, should the consumers now
using water power seek other locations.
The water damages are estimated at $S5, -
900, with land damages S74 .026.20 making
a total Of Sl59,026.20. There are about
40 houses on this watershed.

South Pond and Green River.

The engineers do not consider the South
pond supply feasible. The pond is so high
that 1t would be necessary to establish
another distributing reservoir at the de-
sired elevation, about 600 feet, and to do
this the water must flow by gravity in a
long and expensive line OF pipe down the
course OF either milestone brook or down
Green River to Hinesburg. and thence by
pipe part Of the way at least to the dis
tributing reservoir. 1t is certain that
claims would be made by power owners on
Green river II this power is developed. and
the engineers are OF the opinion that there
is not sufficient water in South pond to
furnish an unfalling supply. The total
watershed is less than one square mile,
including area Of the pond. and the daily
yield in a dry year would not be over
100000 gallons. 1t would be an expensive
undertaking to divert the waters OF this
pond either into Milestone brook or the
Hinesburg branch Of Green river.

South Branch Of MILESTONE Brook.

A dam a few feet westerly from the
watering trough at the fork of the roads,
some quarter OF a mile above the saw
mill. raised TO an elevation 600 feet would
cause a pond covering 4.34 acres and con-
tanning about IA. 900 900 gallons. The area
of the watershed is 4.35 square miles and
the water is apparently Of good quality,
though there are about 20 houses within
the area drained. This area is barely
sufficient to secure the required amount
and the proposed site is not particularly
adapted, as there is no out-crop OF ledge.
A 16-inch pipe would give about 1877
pounds static and Ill pounds working

here would cover 6.3 acres and contain
about 2O,5OO,OOO gallons, and the cost to
connect 1t with the preceding system is
placed at $41,245.11, an allowance of
$4,000 being given for water damage. This
would give total cost for the two Broad

North Pond, stlckney and Pleasant Valley
Brooks.

Brooks.
BY the construction Of a dam at an ele-
walton of 1855 feet at Stickney brook the
waters of the valley may be diverted into
the watershed of Pleasant Valley brook
and a reservoir constructed in Pleasant
Valley at elevation SIS, which will cover
Ills acres and contain about 1900, 900
gallons.
The combined watershed OF these brooks
Is about 513 square miles and there are
about l6 houses in the neighborhood. This
scheme would cause no damage to mill
owners on MILESTONE brook by the diver
sion of water from the Pleasant Valley
watershed, which is about los square
mile. One reason for this Is that the
waste over the dam OF water from North
pond and Stickney brook will probably be
more than the actual flow of the
Pleasant Valley brook The working
pressure will be about l07 and the static
pressure 144 pounds. The total estimated
expense for this scheme Is $l25.492.
Mr.. Davis also makes an estimate for
diverting the waters from North pond into
the Pleasant Valley watershed, to be dis
tributed from a reservoir, at 1929. sos 9S.
The area OF watershed is 16S square mile
and there are eight houses besides the cot
tages at North pond.

North Pond.

North pond, he says, is a fine sheet of
apparently good water, but situated at
such an elevation that it would not be
practicable to pipe it direct to the consum-
err at Brattleboro. The area OF the pond is
about 80 acres and the watershed O.6
square mile. The supply in a very dry
year would amount to at least 800, 900 gal
Ions day, which is not sufficient By the
erection Of a dam to raise the pond seven
feet above its natural level the storage will
be 300, 900, 900 gallons, sufficient to control
the entire run-off in a dry season. The
cost for a dam is estimated at $2,777.5O.
The total expense for water damages,
necessary land, dam, etc, for this supply
is S14,777,50.

might be considered. A water supply
pumped by water power is generally
reasonably cheap installation, but there
must be always more operating charges
than would be incident to a gravity sup
ply. We have made no estimate Of the
cost of such a plant on West river but In
our casual observance of the bed of the
same, between Brattleboro and the quarry,
we have seen no very favorable dam site.

To obtain a gravity supply from this
source, giving a pressure Of 100 pounds.
1t would be necessary to go to Jamaica. a
distance Of about 21 miles. Estimating
the length OF pipe from maps and approx

figured that the total expense would be

taries of the brook might be developed by
a pipe line to Brattleboro. The pond
would necessarily be small as the stream
is very rapid at this elevation. It's area
would be about lie acre and it's contents
4,250.OOO gallons. The working pressure
would be about $50 pounds and the static
pressure 1876 pounds. The foundations are
good The total estimated cost is $780,
1852, of which $95, 0967O would be for
1921 feet of 1S-inch pipe.

Brattleboro boys showed at all times was

case, received the plaudits of the specta-
tors, but good work was done all through
the line. The scoring took place entirely

the ball rolled behind Winchester's goal
posts, and Ferriter fell on 1t there for a

A story is told by the Baptist Common
wealth Of a bazaar held In a western city
Among the features OF the entertainment
was a refreshment stall, to which charitable
donors contributed supplies, In order that
all the money taken in might present clear
profit.
The lady in charge requested gift for
this purpose from Mr.. Billings man who
was both well known and wealthy. but not
famous for liberal giving. To her surprise
she received next day note to the effect
that he was sending her a sirIoin OF beef
and three ox-tongues.
The same morning the lady happened to
go to her butcher. who also supplied the
family Of Mr. Billings with meat, and after
giving him large order for her stall, she
asked If he himself would not like to give
her something.
Il should very much, ma'am," replied the
butcher, but yesterday l gave to Mr.. Bill

CRIME A DISEASEp
Reclamation Instead Of Punishment Of
Malefactors Proposed in England.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
We commented recently on an article by
Sir Oliver Lodge. the eminent scientist, In
which he advocated. among other social re:
forms Immediately practicable. the substi-
tuition of real reformatories for our penal
institutions. Crime. Sir Oliver contends. is
moral disease. and criminals should be
cured and restored to moral health, rather
than degraded, punished and branded as
outcasts
What is known in England as the Borstal
plan Is an enlightened attempt to apply on
a modest scale this view Of crime and
criminals. The scheme has been on trial
since October. 1902, and its value has al
ready been demonstrated. for 1t is proposed
to establish a prison on the same principles
at Lincoln, for the north Of England. The
Borstal prison is near Rochester. and only
prisoners between the ages of sixteen and
tWenty-one are confined there.
The theory of the Borstal method of adj
ministration is that these tuvenile-adult Of
tenders are the victims of the street, of bad
SURROUNDINGS. irregular employment and in
voluntary idleness. After they are sem
fenced selection is made by the prison
commissioners, and the most promising are
sent to Borstal. In that institution prison
discipline is at the .irreducible minimum.
The inmates are taught trades, market gar
dening, physical drill. and encouraged to
read and otherwise educate themselves.
THE result Of all this physical and mental
and moral stimulus says a London re-
view, lis that the atmosphere of the place
Is full Of active, spirited, energetic, cheerful
life"
After a training of from twelve to eight
cen months most of the inmates are dis
charged, though 1t is felt that the time is
too short for acquiring fixed habits of in
dustry and the mastery of trade or the
1872 graduates of Borstal IA have entered
upon honest Industrial careers, 80 have been
lost sight Of are considered doubtful"
while So have been reconvicted of more or
less serious offenses
The reclamation of more than 40 per cent
of the prisoners is regarded as decidedly
hopeful indication of the success OF the
plan, and it's friends ask more liberal ap-
preparations and more institutions of the
same kind. A private association of phil
anthropic citizens co-operates with the state
in finding places for the Borstal men, pro-
viding them with food and lodgings in the
interval, giving them sympathy and moral
support in various ways. 1t Is interesting
to learn that the British home office is Inn
bued with the best ideas Of penal admins
tration and keenly appreciative of the pos
sibilities Of the Borstal plan.
