FINDS MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT
Commissioner Gates Makes Sugges-
,;ons 70 County Commissioners.

state Highway Commissioner c. w
Gates Is following UP the recent coun'
~ meetings of road commissioners
with an effective letter which is giVei
below:
Since the close of the county meet
ings | have been busy visiting towns
and inspecting work done in previous
years and talking over plans Win
commissioners for the present year
| meet with some discouraging tea-
lures. but | find much to encourage US
IN orr work and am anxious that the
state work this year shall excel IN
quality that of any previous year: ana
| iudging from the earnestness OF the
commissioners | meet, l feel conndent
that | shall not be disappointed.
| Let me caution you against building
| yol,r roads too narrow or too high. we
are improving the roads, not making
| them dangerous. Let me also urge
you to finish your work well. A well
finished road will not only look better
but will wear better than one where
the finishing touches have been neg
lected.
Let me urge you to add to the state
money as much of your town road
money as you can spare. or as mucn
as your selectmen will give you to use.
i'm your town you can show your appre-
citation in no better way than to in
crease the amount of work done by
adding your own money to the state S
apportionment and then report all or
the work done on your claim blank so
that | can get list of the towns that
do this. and the amounts they are eX-
pending over and above their appor-
tionment.
AS I have driven about the state
from town to town, during the past
few weeks one thought has come to me
with increasing force. Nature mas
been lavish with us and the cnarms Oh
our green hills and valleys, our brooks,
lakes and mountains, are becoming
more widely known each year as is
shown by the large number OF summer
hotels and cottages that have been re-
Gently built i'm different parts OF our
state Here is one of Vermonts best
opportunities. and you have heard me
sneak of your opportunity in this con-
nection. but I want to remind you OF II
again because of its Importance.
II Is in the power of the road COM
missioners of Vermont to give to our
commonwealth a system of well Kept
earth roads for pleasure driving tnat
will be one of the best attractions we
can offer to summer tourists III auui-
ton to what nature has done for US.
For your announcement let me say
that / believe there is a strong move
ment i'm this direction among the COM
missioners in the state. I find many
who are enthusiastic in their deter
mination to keep their roads free from
loose stones. ruts. mud holes, etc. ana
to look after the little repairs OFTEN
during the summer and especially on
the main travelled roads and those most
used by Automobiles and for pleasure
driving. I am glad to note this move
ment and hope that 1t will spread to
all the towns in the state.
I do not need to urge you TO do
your part in this work 1 shall ex-
pect a good report from your town lat
er on and shall fully appreciate any
extra effort YOU may make to keep your
roads smooth and attractive.

Alexis Dvornitsky. a European SCI
enlist of considerable position and I'M
doubted qualifications. declares posi-
lively that he has discovered and can
interpret the system by which the
birds communicate with one another.
He has published a pamphlet on the
subject and is now preparing diagrams
to show graphically the meanings of
the birds sign language. It is only
for the expression of the primitive
emotions. hunger, affection and anger,
he says. that birds employ their
voices.

[Swanton Courier.]

The question of school teachers SAL
aries is receiving considerable atten-
ton from the state press just now. The
Courier agrees that the great majority
of teachers in the public schools are
underpaid and marvels that such good
results can be obtained in the schools
when the wages paid actually net less
than can be had for doing housework.
Nine out of every ten teachers earn
more than they receive. Then there Is
the folly of placing such great respon-
sibilities as are every teachers In the
hands of persons whose work is worth
onIy the meagre stipend paid. If the
same rule applied in teaching as in
business. a six dollar salary and six
dollar man. the standard of the schools
would not be what it is to-day.

A Notable Undertaking.

The plan of Secretary Wilson with
the cooperation of Senator Proctor, to
revive the famous Morgan horse In
Vermont Is one to receive encourage
ment from all American turfmen. This
breed has ranked no lower than the
martial breeds of Europe, which fur-
nished chargers for the heroes OF his

yet to be found on the tombstones OF
old New England turf patrons, who
loved their blooded Morgans almost as
members of the family. constitute the
most striking tribute the noble animal,
the horse. ever received.

Senator Mitchell gets no more than
he deserves, if testimony offered at his
trial for land frauds is true, and the
defense of his friends that he has done
no worse than have other senators,
does not shake the justice of his con-
viction. 1t simply calls for more JUS
tiee of the same sort.

Between a conflict of many laws in
some criminal cases and no law at all
to cover others. there seems to be lit

Holmes is practically one of stealing

lieves that a criminal prosecution
against Holmes would not lie.

1t is doubtful whether there is such
