VERMONT BOUNDARY MARKS.

TIL need of more substantial marks
Canada as we'll as between Maine and
Canada is we'll shown in the following
article from the Washington bureau Of
the New York Tribune.
Important recommendations regarding
IL clearer uctnarkation Of the boundary
line Canada and the States Of
Vermont and Maine will be made to the
governments OF Canada and the United
States by the surveyors charged with
inspecting his line last hummer. The
monuments marking this boundary were
found in many cases 10 have fallen down,
md some had been removed. The damage
was SO great in this respect that n new
style of boundary marks to take the
place of the present cast iron monuments
will probably be recommended Some Of
the surveyors are in favor of building
stone along the Maine and
Vermont borders similar to those built
by the State OF New York and Canada
three years ago. The New York boundary
monuments are solidly planted or stone
pedcstals built into the ground to a
depth below the frost line. They are six
feet in height. The need Of marking the
Maine and Vermont border equally clear
ly will be urged on the ground that the
border is rapidly being settled and that
unless the line is made distinct the trou-
bles already had with smugglers and
Zine houses built across the boundary
line with A view to defying the law will
increase. All thorOughfareS and IA ilrOad
crossings. il will be recommended, shall
he clearly dclimited. a lawsuit for dam
ages brought IN the case of a nan killed
at II railroad crossing at the boundary
to determine in which territory the ac-
cident happened is one Of the instances
cited by those interested on the bOun-
dairy line question for the need OF better
markings. In the case of a factory built
on the Vermont border the obscure mark
ings have for a long time made it diff
ticllt to determine whether the factory
was violating the customs law by operat-
ing in both countries at once. Tho two
governments have also had complaints
from customs officers as to the difficulty
of arresting smugglers. The American
surveyors who have been engaged on
the work for this government the last
summer have returned home after com-
pleting their work. and are now prepar-
ing reports which will present an array
of facts 10 show that the present mark
ing of the boundary line is most un-
satisfactory.

VERMONT LIVE STOCK IN DEMAND.

Some people have assumed that the
golden age of Vermont's breeding in
terests had passed, but the Montpelier
Argus is impressed by the fact that there
is still hope for Verimon breeders of
desirable live stock. 1t says:
While carloads of Western horses are
being brought into Vermont every month
or so, it is plea sing to note that an
Ohio man has come to Vermont to pur-
chase a horse for breeding purposes. for
1t indicates that, in spite Of the decad-
ence of horse breeding. the Vermont stock
is still regarded as the best. Ohioans
may be able to breed more cheaply
than Vermonters, but they canno pro-
dnce better stock. When cows are un-
der consideration. Vermont must be reck-
oned with. The purchase of AZ head by
an Ohio man is a high tribute 10 the
quality of Nermont's dairy stock.
When the Morgan horse industry is
rejuvenated, as a result of Senator Proc
tors efforts in directing the attention
of the general government to this sub
ject. there will be still further demand
for Vermont bred animals.

An OPEN POLAR SEA,

u will be remembered that when Nam
sen. tho Arctic explorer, was entertained
in Burlington in 1897. he told among
other things in his address in tie former
Howard Opera house how, while the Fran
was drifting across the Polar ocean,
Admiral George w. Melville had suggest
ed that valuable data concerning the
speed and direction of Arctic currents
might be secured BY setting adrift spec
tally constructed casks in the Arctic
sccnn north of Behring Strait.
by the Philadelphia Biographical society.
FIFTY shaped casks were constructed from
designs submitted by Admiral Melville and
were sent north on the United States
revenue cutters and whaling ships to the
Bchring strait, whore they were dropp-
I'd overheard. Each cask was numbered
md each contained a message In four
languages, requesting the finder to notify
the Philadelphia Geographical society. If
the cask was discovered.
These casks we're distributed during
the years 1899. 1900 and 1901. and on Nov
cmher !. President Bryant O. the
g~eogra phical society announced that
two Of these casks had been heard from.
The first cask found was set at liberty
by the Bear on August q, 1891, about
eighty miles north Of Wrangel island
near Behring strait. and il was recover
ed on the Siberian coast. TT second
cask was placed in an ice foe north of
Point Harrow, Alaska, on September Is,
1853, and 1t was recovered one mile cast
Of Cape Rauda Nupr. on the northern
coast of Iceland or June {. 1905.
The cask which reached Iceland is held
to prove the existence OF "A current from
the Bchring ocean around the circum-
polar basin over to the Atlantic, the
long delay being due to the character Of
the Arctic ocean and its ror size.
In spite of the serious obstacle to be
overcome distinct progress is being made
in securing knowledge of the Arctic
region, and of the open polar sea.

What OUR NEIGAbORS SAY
The Mime 10 ne Chosen for the TWhcr-
sulCsis srunt oriusn.
U'rOm the Mortified News.)

While fully recognizing the generous
spirit which prompted Senator Proctor
to offer The State a tuberculosis sanato-
rum, the st. Adams Messenger in "A
we'll considered editorial. takes excep-
ton to the generally expressed opinion
that the proposed institution hould bear
he mann of it's benefactor. Its reason
Is that NOW is the opportune time tn
render a substantial public service by
showing the American people that it is
possible for an honest man to make a
public gift without putting a Carnegie Ii
brarv stamp upon it," While this view Is
perhaps not %altoghethcr unreasonable the
News IL still of the opinion that Senator
Proctor should yield to what seems to
be the almost unanimous sentiment of
the people of the state and ALLOW his
name TO be identified with the gift. IL
must he considered that senator Proc
tors many c~ommcndablc acts and val
liable services to the state have always
been modestly bestowed. and in this
latest generosity he asked that his name
be not identified with II. Senator Proc
tors gift is prompted by motives some
what different from Carncgic's however
c~ommcndtblc and valuable the latter's
may be. with all due respect to the
modesty which prompted Senator Proc
tors request. and to the principles for
which the Messenger contends in asking
that 1t be respected, the News believes
that the people of the State will be best
pleased to be allowed to have the maine
of Proctor connected with an institution
which Is made possible at this time
through his kind and generous donation

APPEAL FROM DECREE
Montpelier Man Not satisfRd with Dia-
trihution ~ M0ther.in.Law's Estate.

An appeal was taken Tuesday by
Harry l.. Brooks of Montpelier from tho
decree OF distribution In the estate Of
Mary Kidder Chamberlin OF this city.
who died about our years ago. In her
will Mrs. Chamberlin included a clause
to the effect that after the death of her
husband tho homestead premises on North
Union street should be sold and $3.50
should be invested in a house and lot to
be given to her daughter, Bertha c..
Brooks. wife OF Harry l.. Brooks, for a
home.
After Mrs. Chamberlin's death Mr..
Brooks died and a short time later the
death OF Mr.. Chamberlin occurred. This
presented "a new phase of the will and
Judge bingham decided that because Mrs.
Brooks had died previous to the death Of
Mr.. Chamberlin the clause relating to the
sale of tho homestead had no bearing and
he held that the property reverted to the
estate and should be distributed Jointly
with the remainder of the estate. 1t is
from this decision that the appeal is
taken. The matter will come before the
Chittenden county court at the March
term.
