A great many of the big bond dealers
of New York have failed TO put out their
May circulars TO date. There is less
investment literature floating IN the
street than is usual al this time of the
month, the reason. of course, being that
the market does not justify any expense

Another interesting program will bt
given in the association rooms at
o clock Sunday afternoon. Il. T. Math
ison is the speaker and the usual mu
steal program will be rendered by the
association orchestra.
Fourteen young men enjoyed the sup
per and discussion of the Life Problem
club Wednesday evening at the associa-
ton rooms. This club meets every Wed.
nesday at $3.50, and after the supper an
hour is spent with real live life prob.
lem. Membership in the club is open
to any young man.
A large number of young men met
Rev A. j. Mitchell in the association
rooms last Sunday afternoon. His ad-
vice was most thoroughly appreciated
and everyone present resolved to live a
more congenial and helpful life. A
special word of praise is given the asso-
citation orchestra for its splendid work.
The board of directors, with the Off
GERS and chairmen Of all the commit
tees, will enjoy lunch in the associa-
ton rooms Monday evening at $3.50, af
ter which business meeting will be
held. Several very important matters
will be considered, and a full attend
ance is desired.

BIG TIMBERLAND TRANSFER.
Sixteen Thousand Acres on Deerfield

/ One of the largest real estate and
| lumber deals ever recorded in southern
| Vermont has been consummated at Will
mington involving $4,000 acres of tim
berland on the mountains and in the
valleys along the Deerfield river. The
land which was, the property of the
Deerfield River company, has been sold
to W. II. Wood of Cambridge, Mass,
and A. n Blandis of Bath, n. H., for
consideration roughly stated at the sew.
eral hundred thousand dollars. With
the land, which is thickly covered with
pine, spruce, heml0ck and hard wood,
are sold the saw mill and the pulp mill
of the company in Wilmington. The
woodland is in the towns of Whining
ton, Somerset, Searsburg, Marlboro,
West Dover and Glastonbury Mr..
Wood will be the president and Mr..
Blandis treasurer of the new company,
which is to be known as the Deerfield
Lumber company and to be incorpor
ated with a capital stock of 100000.
The old company, of which Moses New
ton of Holyoke, Mass, is president and
Martin A. Brown of Wilmington treas
urer, will not dissolve, but will discon-
tinue cutting lumber, its future bust
ness being that of wholesale lumber
dealers.
Several hundred men have been en-
ployed by the old company and it is
expected that this number will be in
creased by the new concern. OF "a 900 |
acres involved the new company pur-
chases sixteen thousand outright and |
secures stumpage rights on the other
5000 acres.

$4,000 Fire at Windsor.

Saturday. Jan. q. only the brick walls
being left standing. The loss will ap-
proximate $4,000 and is nearly covered
by insurance. The cause of the fire
is unknown. The building was owned
by C. II. Fay of Holyoke. Mass The
lower floor was occupied by the hard
ware store of Stone. Payson e. Blake.
the furniture store OF Cabot Bros. and
the barber shop of Hayes Jones. The
upper floor was occupied by the tene-
ment of Mr.. Jones and Edgar ANS
denis billiard and pool room. Stone.
Payson & Blake saved a part of the
contents of the store in a badly dam
aged condition. This firm carried an
insurance of $500. Almost every
thing in Cabot Bros store was de-
stroyed. The insurance on the stock
and fixtures was $1,000. Hayes Jones
saved most of his belongings. Every
thing on the upper floor was destroyed.
The building. which probably will be
rebuilt. was insured for $4,000.

BAD WATER IN ICE POND.
Sample Examined by State Laboratory
Shows Contamination.

DIR. Henry Tucker, health officer, re
ceived Wednesday from the state lab
oratory a report on a sample of water
which he took from the Frost street
pond of the Crystal Springs Ice com
pany Jan. IS. According to the analysis
the water in this pond is contaminated,
the report containing the following
items of interest
Turbidity, distinct.
Sediment, slight.
Free ammonia, .044 per cent.
Chlorine, 40 per cent.
Nitrogen as nitrates, per cent.
Nitrogen as nitrites, .007 per cent.
The unusual amount of chlorine and
nitrates shown by this report is thought
by Dr. Tucker to be due to decayed or
ganic matter which may have entered
the pond by surface drainage The
sample was taken under favorable con-
ditions, the ground surrounding the
pond being frozen and covered with
snow at the time.
In view of the fact that the ice crop
this year promises to be unusually light
the Crystal Springs company will prob
ably be obliged to use ice from the Frost
pond in order to supply its customers
next summer. For this reason Dr.
Tucker advises the public to cool its
drinking water by setting it on ice in
stead of putting ice in the water In
this way no danger can come from any
that may be in the prod
net.

BELLOWS FALLS TRIMMED
kTHLETIcs WIN THIRD GAME OF
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.
|rowd the Largest in Local History of
Pasketball-Final Score ~ to II in
Favor Of Brattleboro- Haggerty
Remarkable Exhibition.

In little the warmest game of bas-
ketball that has ever taken place In
Brattleboro and before the largest and
most enthusiastic crowd that has ever
Witnessed a contest In this town the
athletics Tuesday evening defeated
Bellows Falls by a score of AZ to II
4 Ind thereby made themselves a factor
f3n the race for the Vermont state
championship. Between 500 and 300
Deople, including delegation of near
ny 200 from up the valley crowded
n nto Festival hall to see the test of
supremacy. and bedlam relgned su-
preme from the first to the final whis-
De. Stimulated by two victories out of
hree and confident of making Ii three
put of five, the Bellows Falls aggrega-
ZION started at a pace which made
chem look like the real cheese 1t
nook only few moments, however for
Ethem to find out they We're up against
Ia 4-11-44 combination and the inter-
Xvals when the paper-town rooters could
flegitimately exercise their lungs were
decidedly scarce. Brattleboro fans. on
the other hand found something to ex-
ult about In nearly every play. and
when 1t is stated that this exultation
was accomplished by means of cow
bells and tin horns the result is not
difficult to imagine.
Both teams were strengthened for
the contest; Bellows Falls by McGrail |
of Dartmouth and Cory of Easthamp-
ton. Mass, and Brattleboro by Flo" |
Haggerty of Holyoke. While Haggertys |
work proved factor in winning the |
game for Brattleboro 1t is doubtful If
Bellows Falls was materially aided by
Its importations Both McGrail and |
Cory are first class players but their
apparent unfamiliarity with Bellows
Falls's system of passing seemed to
spoil the effect of the team work.
Time and again one or the other of
these players would pass the ball di-
rectly to a Brattleboro man and thus
give the home team a grand opportun-
ity to score. and very few of these op-
portunities We're allowed to pass unim-
proved. On the whole it is a safe con-
clusion that Bellows Falls would have
done as well if not better by using its
regular forwards Frost and Gorse.
But this statement should not give the
impression that Bellows Falls did not
