According to the statistics gathered
by f. p. Sargent, general commissioner
of immigration the tide of immigration
through the port of New York does not
seem to be declining any. In 1904, over
Cos, 900 passed through Ellis Island, and
it is believed the figure will approximate
100000 in 1905. In February 67,116
came to the country, against 33,967 in
the corresponding month of last year.
OF the S0S,999 new corners in 1904, says
Mr.. Sargent, 2G3, $50, or about SO per
cent, stayed in New York city; Sal ,979,
or about 81 per cent, settled in the
States of New York, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
and Pennsylvania; the South Atlantic
States got per cent; the South Central
division got 1904, or about II per cent. !;
the Western division got 1921, or 6 per
cent.

Will Enforce the Law.

The state board of health is doing
everything that lies in its power to carry
out the provisions of the pure food law,
All articles tested and found to be de-
ficient have been abolished from the
state and the dealers handling these
goods, and the manufacturers, duly
warned to cease selling them within the
state. The merchants handling these
goods are subject to a fine, even upon
the first offence, but in cases where the
dealer has been in ignorance Of the
character of the goods a warning has
thus far remedied the evil. The frauds
and names of the manufacturers of the
prohibited goods will be published in
the June bulletin of the board.

HONOR TO ANN STORY.A
a Monument of Marble to Mark Home of
First White Woman to Sleep in \
Salisbury or Middlebury.


The memory of that hardy pioneer,
Ann Story, whose history has been
handed down to us by those associated
with her during the days of the Revolu-
tionary struggle. is to be perpetuated in
monument of marble. This lasting
memorial will mark the spot in Sails
bury where Mrs. Story lived in her cabin
of logs surrounded by hostile Indians
and wild animals, where she and her
brood of children faced the problem of
existence under conditions that we of
today can hardly realize.
Through the generosity of Hon.
Fletcher d. Proctor, President of the
Vermont Marble Company, the Vermont
Society of Colonial Danes will sometime
in July unveil a monument in Salisbury,
the same to be dedicated to the memory
of Mrs. Story. Very elaborate. as are all
events presided over by the Colonial
Danes, will the program be. Until the
return from Florida of Mrs. Wallace
Clement, of Rutland, president of the
Vermont Society Of Colonial Danes, the
details of the unwilling and the arrange
ment of the program will not be com
pleted.
Columbus Smith of Salisbury has
decided the original site of the cabin of
Mrs Story to the Colonial Danes. The
home of Mrs. Story was located upon
the farm now owned by Columbus
Smith. At the unwilling in July speakers
of national prominence will participate
From the history of Salisbury by John
NJ. Weeks, published in 1860, we quote
the following concerning Mrs. Story and
her arrival in Vermont from Norwich,
Conn, to take charge of the farm and
log house her husband had provided for
her in 1774, the year previous to his
DEATH
Mrs Story was woman of very large
stature and masculine appearance, and
possessed all that physical strength and
hardihood which her looks would indi-
cate. Few men ever possessed so much
resolution, tirmnesS and fearlessness as
she. Possessed of good health and an
iron constitution, she feared neither tory,
Indian, or wild beast.
She could use the axe with skill and
power which few of her neighbors,
though most Of them were stalwart men,
could equal; and in handling the lever,
in rolling logs, every one admitted her
to be among the foremost and most
efficient.
Having such qualifications as these,
Mrs. Story, in company with her three
boys Solomon, Ephraim and Samuel
and her two daughters, Hannah and
Susanna, moved to their farm in Sails
bury in the latter part of the year 1875,
and took possession of the log house her
husband and son had erected for their
reception the year previous.
Here, amid the midnight howl of the
wolves, and bears and panthers, and sur
rounded with the hostile Indians ready
to sacrifice any property or life for the
qualification of their own wishes, Mrs.
Story, accompanied only by family Of
small children, the oldest not vet having
arrived to the age of maturity, eagerly
and hopefully undertook the work of
making for her family home.
Here she labored with her boys on the
farm, taking the lead in the labors of

The recurrence of Arbor day annually
calls to mind the efforts of its originator
the Hon. j. Sterling Morton of Nebraska,
who inaugurated a movement about forty
years ago for covering vast areas of land
in his state with trees and designated a
day for it known as Arbor day. Since
then the appointment of Arbor day has
been authorized by the legislatures of
most of the states. or fixed upon a GER
tain day by legislative action. Its OBJ.
servance is almost entirely neglected in
some states, while in Others it is made an
event of importance.
When originally established by Mr.
Morton it was intended for the setting of
trees for growing wood and timber ~ a
business matter. and many thousands Of
acres in the state of its origin were COW
cred for this purpose during the early
years of its existence In the eastern
part Of the country the esthetic side of
the question has been given prominence
and its observance has consisted in the
main in setting shade and ornamental
trees for shelter, shade and adornment.
Public parks, rOadways and private
grounds have been beautified and made
more comfortable by the trees that have
been set in previous years in Arhor day
observance.
suggestion has been made for in
Guiding the financial as well as the es-
thetic feature in its observance in the set
ting of fruit trees and in making the be-
ginning of an orchard upon the day set
apart for Arbor day Observance which
has much to commend it. Probably no
crop is produced upon the land in New
England that yields larger net profit to
the producer, reckoned upon a series of
years as basis, than the apple crop.
Our climate, soil and proximity to
market enable us to produce apples that
are unexcelled in quality or quantity per
acre or in the facilities for marketing
them. The suggestion that the nucleus
of an apple orchard be made on Arbor
day by setting a small or large number
of apple trees, in addition to such shade
and ornamental trees as may be set, is a
good one, and should be generally acted
upon by land owners. By adding a few
trees each year good sized orchard will
soon be established without any e1ces-
sive outlay of cash or labor at any one
time. This will be a patriotic response
to the call for observance that is sure to
pay in the future.-Mirror and Farmer.
Would that every Vermont farmer
might read this short sermon anent

Eastertide brings not bring only an
awakening of things spiritual but its
effect is plainly discernible in matters
temporal. Easter is synonymous in the
business world with new plans. The
commercial world energies from the
lethargy of the winter season and pre-
schedule, so to speak, is inaugurated at
this season of the year and with the
return of the leaves and blossoms
humanity is enthused with new ideas
and new methods supplant the old; new
business is sought and the entire system
of the commercial world experiences a
rejuvination as does the affairs of the
church.

recently come into possession of Brat
tleboro postage stamp issued by a post
master Of that town. The stamp is of
the five cent variety, small and dark

and were first sent out by the postmaster
of Brattleboro who used them in place
of the usual franking stamp letter.
They are of the date of 1915, 40 and A
On the issue of these stamps the United

world.
