D1scourses on DOings Around Milo and
Matters of General Interest.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. B. Smith received
a package by mail few days ago and
on opening it they found piece of
cake. A letter accompanying it in
formed them that a grandson in
Tacoma, Washington, had taken to
himself a wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
have twenty-five grandchildren and
this is the first one of the number that
has taken a life-partner.
There was a large and very pleasant
gathering at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. E. Northway on January
10th, it being the fifty eighth anniver-
sary of Mrs. Northway's birthday.
Milo people are noted for getting up
surprise parties and this was fully up
to the standard. The guests were
pleasantly entertained with songs,
select reading, speeches and plays,
after which refreshments were served
and the party returned to their homes
after leaving congratulations with
Mr.. and Mrs. Northway.

know what those old-fashioned winters
are and now we will prepare for one.
The mail carrier on route one from
Foreston found more snow in the
roads after the recent storm and blow
than was needed for the travelling pub
lie, and especially the mail carrier.
We see that some of the patrons whose
mall boxes were nearly covered with
snow drifts shoveled the snow away
so the carrier could drive near the
box without capsizing. Wonder if all
the patrons were as thoughtful? It is
for the interest of all living on rural
mail routes to keep the roads open
and boxes free from snow block,
else some day we might not get our
mail.

The Weather Bureau.
+ Boston Transcript. !

The weather bureau has now been
conducting its operations over the coun-
trv for more than n generation. 1t has
developed increasing value on the ba-
sis Of exuericnce alone, but invention,
undreamcd of when it was established,
is likely to prove of great assistance in
cnlarging its service The announce
mcnt bv the head of the bureau that
within five years by international
agreement and wireless telegraphy,
weather conditions covering the entire
'tIantic ocean may be secured, is a
forecast little outside the regular
order of his department, but it by no
means severely challenges public faith
or credulitv Even greater things than
this are likely to happen in that time
But should that result be brought
about its value could hardly be over
estimated. We have recently called at
tention to the losses Of life if not of
property that might have been averted
had more credit been given to the bu-
repu's warnings in several conspicuous
instances. But if the whole Atlantic
can be covered in the same way that
coast storms are now discovered and
reported one of the great and dreaded
perils of ocean navigation can be
prootlv reduced A knowledge of the
area and direction of a storm would
frequently enable vessel to avoid it,
as could have been done by the ship
ring near Galveston had navigators
been in possession of these data. The
science of navigation has been highly
devcloped. hut the ability to REINFORCE
It with definite facts upon this con
templated plan will be the largest sin
gle service that it has ever received.
An this. however. is somewhat in the
distance. Our Washington letter states
the bureaus program for immediate
the area of observation
and the data of calculation being
manned out on more comprehensive
scale than ever before, taking in the
whole northern hemisphere and reach
ing out to lands bevond the seas. This
we are promised before the close of the
present wear. 1t is expected that all
this will not merely make for greater
accuracy. but also enable the weather
officials to extend their forecasts over
a longer period of time.

Senator Proctor received recently
from United States Fish Commissioner
Bowers letter in regard to an appro-
pration of $4,000 for the establish
ment of an auxiliary fish cultural sta
ton in Vermont. The location will be
selected by the secretary of commerce
and labor, the appropriation to cover
the cost of the land, construction of
buildings and cost of equipment. Com
missioner Bowers thinks it desirable to
have the ma ter brought to the atten-
ton of the public in order that the
best available site may be chosen. In
his letter he states what the conditions
must be and says he will be glad to
hear from any person in regard to a To-
cation. The officers of the Windham
County Fish & Game Protective asso-
citation ought to begin at once a search
for a suitable location in this county,
and if one can be found communicate
with Commissioner Bowers. Their eff
forts may not result in the location of
the hatchery hereabouts, but the thing s.
worth making a try for.

WHO IL TO BLAME7

WHO IL TO BLAME7
The action Of the village at It's meet.
ing last Friday evening transfers the
local water fight to the Legislature, and
II is likely that no little lobbying will
be done when the bill asking for
amendments to the village charter
comes up before the general assembly.
Doubtless Mr., Crowell will ask that
any amendment require the village to
live up to its agreement with him, and
he cannot be blamed for making such
request although il will probably be
strongly opposed, After about n year
of discussion of the water question the
village finds itself in almost the idcn-
teal spot that il was in the first place
Those who rantcd against procrastina'
ton have been forced TO admit that no
steps relative to municipal ownership
can be taken without more power from
the legislature, Whether the existence
of private water system should have
to be considered by municipality
that wishes TO procure one of its own
is question about which there seems
to be considerable discussion, but there
seems to be less doubt about the obll-
CATION under which this village has
placed itself to Mr., Crowell hv its re.
cent actions. There is considerable
ground for the claim Of Mr.. Crowcll
that the cessation of work on his new
system pursuant To vote of the village
to nrbitratc has cost him large sum
Of money. II would seem also as il the
village were morally, if not legally,
bound to rcrompensc him for any loss
due TO its vacillation.
As bearing directly on the finHl out
come Of the water question it is well
to consider the attitude Of those who
from the outset have been active in
the matter and whose Leadership the
majority of the voters have followed.
