A NEW PLAN BY WHICH THE
BURLEY DISTRICT CAN
CONTROL PRICES.

The farmers of Owen county have
hit upon the only sensible, feasible
plan to control the price of hurley
tobacco. That plan is simply the
cutting out of the 1905 crop. At first
blush this may seem to some a sui
cidal policy, but simple calcula-
ton will prove it's wisdom. If no
hurley tobacco is grown in 1905, the
1905 crop will bring as much as
both. There is every prospect that
the present crop will excel in
quality and quantity any previous
yield in the last decade. The mo-
ment it is saved and preparations
are begun for the 1905 crop, the to-
bacco trust will lay out it's plan OF
campaign aud sit back in its den to
gloat over the millions of fools who
are willing to contribute to it's
already overlooking Golfers. 1t is
time for the farmers to quit work
ing for the tobacco trust.
AS long as the market is supplied
with an abundance of the weed, 50
long will the farmers continue at
the mercy of the hungry octopus.
It's greed has known no bounds. 1t
has grown to such mighty proper
lions that every branch of our CON-
mercial life flows into it's avaricious
and greedy stomach. This was
shown by the failure of the Growers
Ass ociation in 1904. The very
money that was promised by
Eastern capitalists to finance the
deal was Trust money. They
promised just enough to keep the
farmers in state of expectancy.
The plan was TO make them pitch a
big crop for 1905. Then came a
hitch in the negotiations. New
conditions were imposed as fast as
I past agreements were fulfilled and
finally came failure. Every farmer

of tobacco took a sudden leap down.

grower and sat, demon-like, upon

When the failure came they fell

Forestry as Good Business.

President Roosevelts statement that the
fate of the forestry crusade has passed
from the hands of the sentimentalists in
to those of the men who see that the con-
tiunation OF their business and their
profits depends upon the continuation OF
the forests, gives the keynote OF the whole
modern forestry movement IL also con-
tains the germ Of a hope that we have ar
rived at the time when forest preserva-
ton is about to become an actually rather
than dream. II is interesting to note,
in looking over the names OF the men who
compose the committees Of the National
Forestry Congress that they are those OF
men who have for years been using the
forests as though there were 10 be no end
of wood to destroy and waste. The lum-
bermen, the miners and the farmers, the
railroad companies, the pulp mills and
others who have been selfshly and with
out conjunction using up wood. have
acted i'm the past as though they eX-
pected the supply Of forest to be perpetual
in spite OF increased demand and increas-
ed cutting. 1T is n hopeful sign that these
men have at last awakened to the danger
which threatens not only themselves. but
other industries which are dependent up
on forested areas.
The sentimentalists were all right in de-

Bottle Business from over River Has
Made Some Trouble But No License Is
Expected.
The question whether the town of
Rockingham will vote yes" or mo" on
the license question March Z Is being
discussed pro and con by a large portion
Of our residents, in accordance with the
light each has from his own point of view,
either of interest or real honest belief
in the wisdom of either result. The past
three years have given all an opportunity
to see the results of three methods, pro-
hibition, license and no-license, and there
are those who believe each one better
than the others Few will contradict the
statement that the past year has seen
much less drunkenness upon the streets
than in the previous year under license, but
a number of the foremen and employers
having charge of large numbers Of men
are sure the evil has been as apparent as
formerly. They claim the bottle business
goes on by the men clubbing together and
sending one of their number over the
river and then the liquor being IN the
mills the men are more uncertain and
less to be depended upon than II they
could step out to the bar and take one
drink and stop. They think il is worse
than under license. The record of arrests
seems to show upon the face a larger
number of DRINKS and disturbances than
last year, but when analysed and located
they mostly occur in the vicinity of the
depot and bridges, and do not average as
large a number of Bellows Falls citizens
as last year.
1t will be hard to convince the mer-
chants in the square and citizens who
are largely engaged upon the principle
streets of our village that the situation
is not materially improved here under
the no-license conditions over what it
Or ha nj
prohibitory law. 1t is probable the town
will take the same action this year as
last, preferring the trade to be done
across the river rather than that the
menace should be seen again of the open
saloon in our own town.

The Biggest oeyser In the World.

One OF the marvels Of the earth is the
gigantic geyser located at Rotorua, New
Zealand, and known as ''Waimangu."
Waimangu made its appearance about two
years ago. 1t is situated along the line of
that great volcanic rent of assure covered
by the fearful eruption OF Mount Tara
vera in 1885, and is a short distance from
the site of the one-t time famous pink and
white terraces of Rotomahana, whose
beauties were completely swept out of
existence by that awful upheaval The
crater out of which Waimangu issues is
fully half an acre in extent, and of enor-
nous depth. When in eruption the whole
OF this gigantic funnel is filled with a hugh
column of black, boiling mud and stones
that shoots in the air to a height of near
ly a thousand feet. while the cloud of
steam which accompanies IL rises in calm
weather several thousand feet. The dis
plays of this colossal geyser occur with
great suddenness, and frequently the VEN
turesome visitor has to flee to a place of
safety. To see 1t in eruption is the sight
of lifetime. The awful force manifested
by the election of the vast body of water
and stones, the terrific roar of steam and
hurting rocks add to the wierd grandeur
of the phenomenon. No one can look on
Waimangu without being awed by its
force and sublimity.
The location of this geyser is in the
centre of the marvellous hot lakes and
thermal springs REGION of the Rotorua
district.-[Scientific American.
