Ginseng at Brattleboro.

Charles F. Thompson, secretary Of
the Brattleboro Gas and Electric Light
Company. has demonstrated beyond
question that ginseng can be success
fully cultivated. Three years ago Mr..
Thompson obtained d number Of plants,
from which lie has raised some 400
plants, all of which are vigorous and
from which he has recently picked about
s 500 seeds, which he intends to market
for material revenue. MIR. Thompson
entertains no doubt that with proper
knowledge Of conditions which are IN
dieenous to Vermont soil the cultiva-
tion of this valuable root may become
q most profitable venture. Ginseng IS
in demand in many countries, and espec-
tally in China, where it brings fabulous
prices, Hong Kong being one Of the chief
markets. There are comparatively few
dealers in the United States, but these
solicit the entire product Of the coun-
trv. MIR. Thompson's ginseng beds are
interesting and beautiful, the stalks be-
| inc from 10 to is inches high, with five
| large, deep green leaves. The seeds grow
| in q cluster Of so or more, and when
Iripened are Of handsome crimson soior,
| being about the size Of q BURBERRY.
These seeds have been sold, it is said,
for as much as five cents each to en-
thusiasts who bought them for planting.
Mr.. Thompson's plants are protected
from the sun by an awning Of cheese
cloth. This fall he proposes to market
| the roots, retaining a sufficient qnanti-
/ tn for his own use in his little garden
/ spot iii the rear Of his Main street resi-
dence. and where he has carefully and
systematically interested himself IL

THE RIGHT SORT OF TALK,


The people of the lake section are
waking up to the fact that the rapid
or slow development of the lake coun-
try is going to depend almost wholly
upon themselves. All that is needed
in many cases is, for the people to
make up their minds that they really
and earnestly want a certain improve
ment and then set about in an intelli-
gent way to get it.-Mille Laos County
Pioneer. 49,. g.. >* .~~:
Sensible talk, Mr.. Pioneer. God
helps those who help, themselves.
When the resources of the Mile Laos
region are thoroughly developed it
will be one of the garden spots of the
State. Surely the day is not far dis
tant when the Mile Laos country will
be connected with the outside world
by railroad or electric line. Mile
Laos lake is the largest and most
picturesque sheet of water within the
confines of Minnesota, and in the
near future will become famous as a
summer resort. Be of good courage,
ye sojourners on the shores of beauti-
full Mile Laos; there are brighter
| days in store for you. ~

OLSON'S BITING SARCASM.

N. P. Olson's Anoka Free Press is
always bright and readable. Mr..
Olson is an independent Democrat;
he says what he thinks and he does
considerable thinking, as witness
these random excerpts from the edi-
torial columns of his paper: ......
"Don't offend the Democrats by
saying Minnesota has a Democratic
administration. Nothing could injure
the Democratic cause any more"
"It is reported that Van SAINTS
bank examiner, Sam T. johnson, will
hold over indefinitely. Well, why
not? He fits into the present crowd
to a dot ........
"It strikes US that the tax-dodging
jobbing houses of the twin cities and
their travelling representatives haven't
been rewarded enough by John A..
Johnson for electing him governor.
By rights they ought to have about
one-half of the plums on the guberna-
torial tree.''

Several bills have been introduced
in the legislature proposing an in
crease in the minimum price at which
State land can be sold. One bill pro-
poses that the minimum price be fixed
at $1,000 per acre. Land spectators
who are loaded up with high-priced
lands would be glad to have a law
placed upon the statute books that
would virtually preclude the sale of
State lands for many years to come
and thus enable them. to dispose of
their private holdings ON advanta-
geous terms. Such legislation might
be of great benefit to land SPECTATORS,
but it would be tough on counties that
contain large bodies of State lands.

Judging from the frauds unearthed
in the recount of ballots cast for o.
car Hallam and Tom O'Brien for dis
trict Judge in st. Paul, we are
strongly of the opinion that if there
could be a recount of the ballots cast
for State officers, not only in St. Paul
and Minneapolis but throughout the
State at large, John A. Johnson
plurality for governor would be
materially reduced if not entirely
wiped out. In many of the precincts
all of the judges and clerks of election
were violent partisans of the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor. Men
who lied so outrageously about the

would not hesitate to steal ballots and
falsify the returns in order to defeat

In every talk he made in. the recent
campaign, the publisher of the
Union took strong grounds against
the issuance OF railroad passes to
anyone save a bonafde employee of
a railroad. Gov. Johnson, although
as mum as an oyster on the pass
question during the campaign, in his
message to the legislature recon-
mended the passage of an anti-pass
law. Sam Langum, we are glad to
note, is on the right side of this ques-
ton. He writes his paper:
"The anti-pass bill has again found
its way into the legislature and it is
rumored that it will be followed by a
companion piece reducing the railroad
fare to two cents per mile. With all
my heart [ hope that these two bills
will become a law. Generally the
man who rides on pass is perfectly
able to pay his fare and the Unequal:

rate to all and the expenses of travel
thus equalized would result in no pc.

count of the strike. Governor Doug

AS was expected the jury in the

agreed. Koch may or may not be
guilty, but certainly the circumstances
were against him. If the leading
counsel for the State, Hon. 81. W.
Childs, had not believed Koch guilty.
the case would never have gone to the
jury-Childs would have moved for a,
dismissal. The trial revealed a most
despicable character in the person of
Editor Brooks. That fellow Brooks
testified that the murdered man, Geb-
hardt, was his dearest friend; that
he, Brooks, looked over transom

Gebhardt, and yet Brooks made no
cutlery, nor did he make any effort to
come to the assistance of his friend.

IN THE HOUSE.

Speaker Holcolmb called the house to
order at 1890.
New business included resolutions
appropriating $500 for purchase of
land and $4,000 for an elevator and
shat. at the Soldiers home, Noroton;
$4,000 for an electric plant at Fitch's
home and $4,000 for support of disabled
sailors, soldiers and marines and their
widows for the two fiscal years ending
1907; bill providing for the marking, in
heavy letters, of packages containing
seed for sale.
Two bills were introduced dealing
with the trading stamp question. One
by Representative Holconlb of Torring-
ton, provides for fine of not less than
$40 nor more than $500 on any one SELL
irg, exchanging or disposing of proper
ty wherein a transaction involving
trading stamps enters. The other is by
Representative Smith for the regulation
of the use of trading stamps, and pro-
vides an excise tax Of 5 per cent. on all
sales in which trading stamps are used
Representative Smith also introduced a
bill, by request, to prevent monopoly in
business and for the protection of trad.
ers, and forbids the giving Of gratuities
or rebates by one party with the object
of giving more favorable terms than
another dealer in the same business
