FRESHMEN COWBOYS.
There were over a thousand specta-
tors. and when the Pressmen began to
rally the whole crowd cheered for
them.
Happier pitched a fairly good game,
but he was not as effective as usual
Webb was at his best. Few of the
pitchers in the league can hold the
Westerners to eight hits, but Webb not
only did this. but ne made five of his
opponents ozone.
The fielding Of both teams was uni
fOrmly good. Sullivan and Chute did
the best work OF any Of the infielders.
Montgomery started in in right field
but he was pulled in 10 second base
and damned out three hits one Of them
a double.
There were thirteen stolen bases due
to the sIowuess Of the pitchers and
catchers, rather than the speed of the
base runners.

GOOD ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

State Highway Commissioners Charles
w. Gates is evidently determined that
no town In Vermont shall receive its
share Of the State highway fund un-
less the work done is such as entities
1t to the money. There was a time
when some OF the smaller towns sim
ply covered the funds received from the
State into their treasures and went on
building poor roads the same as be-
fore. the result being that they simply
saved paying part OF what would have
been their ordinary rate Of taxation.
The amendments to the law make this
course impossible at the present time.
but 1t Is possible to build permanent
highways in an unsatisfactory manner.
Commissioner Gates is following up
the meetings held in the different
counties with excellent results by
sending letters to all town commits.

do work on the highways that will be

Enosburgh Falls. June I'm. Bru-
so, who bias been Commissioning from a
severe run of typhoid fever. has been
causing his family a considerable anx-
iety during the past few days He
mysteriously disappeared on Sunday
and parties were sent out in an effort
to locate him. Their search was fruit
less however. and he was not heard
from until tonight when he came
home OF his own accord. According to
his story he went Sunday TO St. AL
bans, there he slept in the depot over
night. To-day he walked to ST. Adams
Bay and then returned to this village.
This was accomplished on crutches.
Mr.. Bruso seems to have grudge
against his family and friends and it
Is the opinion OF some of the doctors
that his mind IL unbalanced. He is a
member of the local lodge Of Foresters
and It is expected that they will take
some action in the matter, as he is not
considered a safe man to be at large.

THE HEALTH OFFICERS, SCHOOL.

Some OF US are SO accustomed to de-
precate matters relating 10 our own State
that We can not thoroughly appreciate
the progress which is being made in diff
ferent directions within our borders Yer
mont was the first State to establish a
State laboratory for the benefit OF all its
people and the developments growing out
of the work carried on therein
In connection with the varied and
important service of the State
board of health and the iabors
Of the tuberculosis commission has served
to help place the Green Mountain state
among the foremost commemorative In
the Union as regards sanitation and other
measures adopted for the promotion OF
the public health.
Our State was also one of the first to
institute a school for all the local health
officers, and that this example was deem
ed worthy of imitation is evident from tho
fact that number of the New England
States as we'll as Ohio and other com
monwealths have taken up the idea OF
giving practical instruction to those
charged with the duty In the different
towns of conserving the public health.
Some OF our readers may have gained
IN idea that the papers and discussions
1T the different sessions Of tho health Of
hcers' school were OF a wholly theoretical
character and OF very little use as a
mutter of fact hut a glance ut the differ
ont subjects considered Tuesday will
serve to indicate tho intensely practical
nature OF the matters considered. What
could be Of greater interest or practical
value 10 the people Of the efficient cities
whose water supply has been condemned.

METHODS OF REPRESENTATION.
(Frorc the Hardwick Gazettc.>

Our esteemed contemporaries the Luz"
low Tribune and the St. Adams Mcsscn-
ger arc Of the opinion that the press OF
Vermont. IL it has faith and keeps talk
ing, arguing and urging. can eventually
turn public opinion against the present
system Of town representation and to-
ward one based on popula ton. It's worth
trying The Gazette has always main
tanned that the preson. method of repre-
sentation deprivcs the State of govern
,ncrt by, for and of the people. and that
it is unjust and cumbersome. We are
glad to have others Join with us in this
reform movement It's so plain a case
that it isn't so much argument that's
needed IS it is constant harunering on
the topic to make people take notice
ANY person can convince himself that a
change from representation Ivy acres to
representation by population would bene-
fit the St1tc--if he'll only stop few mo-
mcnts ard Think. It's up to the press
to make people think.
