He was very fond Of horse races. and
rarely missed any of the meetings in
Windsor and Rutland counties. says

tended a breeders meeting at Rutland.
The breeders meetings were famous. and
attracted people from New York. Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire as well as
from throughout the state of Vermont.
On this particular day Hank was seat

bay horse with not too much speed. but
the owner had an idea that he was IA

All the horses except Belvidere had pass
ed the grand stand almost neck and neck
on the first half. 1t was Il beautiful race.
Trailing behind about 20 rods came Bel
vdere, the driver urging him on to bet
ter efforts and when in front of the
grand stand Hank stood up and yelled
at the top of his voice: 'Hod. Take the
first turn to the left. all the others have
gone that way" Hold drove Belvidere to

SCIENTIFIC FORESTRY,

Some people have gained the idea
that the preservation Of forests
amounts to the practical surrender Of
land to the growth Of timber and con-
sequent waste of the acres thus treated.
AS a matter Of fact, however, scientific
forestry contemplates the enjoyment of q
revenue from timber the same as from
any other crop. the largest trees being
cut down and the remainder being al
lowed to remain for future cuttings.
Information comes from Washington
that the mature timber on the National
forest reserves is to be offered for sale.
This announcement is in line with the de-
clared purpose of the department of
agriculture to develop the National forest
reserves by use. The restriction formerly
laid upon the export Of timber from the
States in which the forest reserves were
located has been removed, and the law
now places no limitation on the ship
ment of timber grown on any forest re-
serve except those in the State of Idaho
and the Black Hills reserve in South
Dakota. The effect Of this change in the
law, and the declared policy of the
department Of agriculture, IL that the
timber on the reserves may now be cut
and disposed of to the highest bidder. On
quantities of mature timber. and on some
of them the facilities for getting it out at
a reasonable cost are excellent. The
forest service. which has charge of the
administration OF the reserves, is anxious
to begin the cutting Of this mature timber
as soon as possible. and 1t is prepared ia
consider offers from lumbermen who wish
to undertake such operations.
1t is perhaps we'll to call attention to
the fact that this announcement does
not mean that the forest reserves are
going to be devastated under authority
of the government. On the contrary, the
distinct and definite purpose of the forest
service Is to improve the reserves by
utilizing the material that is now fit 70,
lumber. In doing so, it will also provide
for the reproduction of the forest and
the restocking Of those areas upon which
forest conditions are defective. Work OIL
this kind has been successfully carried
on for some years In the Black Hills for.
est reserve, and has been begun witt
| the greatest promise OF success on tho
lands OF the Chippewa Indians. in north
ern Minnesota. from which 1t is proposed
to create another National reserve.
The public in general. and lumbermen ir
particular. will be interested to know thai
in this last case the restrictions imposed
by the forester have in no way hamperet
the numbering operations. Timber sold a.
public sale. with full knowledge of these
restrictions. brought higher prices thar
were ever obtained for white and Norwa.
pine in the same region. and the SLASH
has been burned and got out of the way
at cost of about twelve cents pei
thousand feet board measure.

THE FRANCHISE TAX VALID.

Various other events of world wide in
announcement of the decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
establishing the validity of the special
franchise tax. but as time progresses
the public is likely to awaken to the
far-reachiny Importance of this verdict.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Brewer and it held tie law of the
state OF New York under which the
special tax on franchises was levied to
be valid. The franchise tax cases have
attracted much attertion not only be-
cause of the new principles Of taxation
involved. but also because Of the magn-
tude Of the financial interests concerned.
The franchise tax law WAS passed by the
New York Legislature while President
Roosevelt was governor of the Empire
state. The act subjects to a system of
general nd valcrerl taxation the special
and local franchises of public utilities.
The corporations affected held the law il,
question to be unconstitutional on the
ground that it inipairs the obligation of
contracts under which the corporation
acquired ard own their franchises, and
that it operates to deny them equal pro-
lection of the law as guaranteed by the
constitution of the United States.
The corporations which carried their
cases to the supreme court are the Metro
politan Street Railway company, the
e, ooklyn Rapid Transit company and
the Consolidated Gas company. and these
and other corporations affected eve tho
city of New York for taxes sums Yang
ing from 5000 100 to s6,OoO0o0 each in
round numbers. The cases had been de-
cidcd in various ways by the courts OF
New York, the appellate division having
declared the law unconstitutional. while
by others it was held TO be invalid or
| the ground that the law involved double
| taxation.
"a" VI 'iS "oJ'ct'oHs raiSeu against tHe
franchise tax law have now been wiped
out. and nothing remains for the corpora
tions but to pay into the city treasury
the sums levied upon them under the act
| In question Just how far this principl,
of taxation will be adopted in Other
| states must remain a matter of conJec
| ture. but it is fair to presume that il
States having large cities within theil
borders the franchise tax will becom,
popular. inasmuch as it will enable tn,
wealth which can be reached for pur
poses OF taxation in no other way.

Is THERE TO BE 4 MORMON SHRINE
IN YERMONTi

A report reaches us that some of the
good people of Sharon. in this State
and the surrounding towns. are much
exercised over what they believe to be a
prospect that monument to Joseph
Smith. the founder OF the Mormon
Church, is to be erected In that town.
AS the story is told. IA farm in Sharon
suddenly changed hands few days ago,
men. Why they wanted the farm was
not understood: but some persons sur
missed that granite or some valuable
mineral must have been discovered in
the land, and that it was acquired for
its hidden treasures. Later the fact
came out, or was supposed to have come
out. that the farm was bought because
it was the birth place Of Joseph Smith,
and that the real purchaser was tho
Mormon Church! 1t took but little more
to enlarge the rumor by the supposition
and assertion that the Mormons intend
to erect on the land a monument to the
founder of their faith, and to make tho
