POUNnMAsTER IS A BUSY MAN
Since the Beginning of the Year One
Hundred and Eleven Dogs Have
Been Licensed - Few Dogs
Leave Pound Alive.

To become vagrant is probably th'
worst fate that can possibly befall MAJ
or beast. While it frequently happens
that a man is in this class by force Of
circumstances, it is generally accepted
that his condition is one of choice. He
has lost his grip on society and does
not care about securing another hold
That is where he differs so greatly
from the dog, recognized as mans best
friend. 1t is safe to say that no dog
is vagrant through choice. He may
have become an outcast and he may be
receiving many hard knock from the
cruel world. but that does not sour his
disposition against society, In spite of
bis misfortune he remains Of sanguine
temperament and while wandering along
the rock road of vagraney he keeps one
eye open for home.
But dog cannot remain a vagrant
with impunity any more than man
can. The law is very kind to the man,
and usually permits him to work for
bis board, even if this is in durance
vile. But with the dog it is quite an
other story. When he falls into the
hands OF the authorities it means but
little respite, and then it is a plunge
below the surface of the water, bullet
OF sleep that is made eternal with gas.
The vagrant dog continues to be one
OF the problems of civilization and to-
gether with other cities, Astoria has to
face it every year. The problem is par
tieularly besetting one during the
months known as dog days-the warm
days, when there is danger of canines
going mad and distributing germs of
death. TT,r .i.sr ~~.~!.a
H. Dog a Homelike Creature.
Just why there should be SO many
vagrant dogs in a city can only be at
tributed to the ungratefulness of man.
Nearly every dog was born into home,
and appears to be of the opinion that it
is entitled to some place of abode. Dogs
may be all right for a while with some
people, but the time frequently comes
when it is felt that the animal is a
nuisance, and every inducement is made
to have him shift for himself if it is
not possible to bestow him upon some
dear friend. The dog will return to its
old home daily, but as kindness and
keep are no longer forthcoming he is
forced to seek other hearts. But man
is not prone to extend kindness and
comfort to any animal that can not
present a pedigree, and the result is
that the animal remains wanderer on
the face of the earth until he dies from
starvation or is taken in by the dog
catcher, carted off to the pound, and
after certain number of hours of
grace is killed.
The vagrant dog is usually known by
the fact that he does not wear a license
tag. ANY person who OWLS a dog
that he thinks anything of is only too
glad to pay $3.50 each year to insure

Pomona Grange Meeting.

Windham County Pomona Grange held
one of the most successful meetings OF the
year with West River Grange, Townshend.
Oct "a, Worthy Master Frost presiding
Owing to the illness OF Sister Mixer the
program was in charge Of Mrs. Anna
Farnum The questions discussed were:
rs fruit raising a success, or are we
gradually going back to the old stand
ard?" Opinions were divided but with up
to-date methods ii was thought fruit
raising could be made a commercial sue
cess. What constitutes a successful
man, the one who lays by the most
money, or the man who makes money and
does good with it as the days go by?'
The majority decided In favor of the
latter All OF the officers were present
excepting two, also members from Pro-
tective, Evening Star, Vermont, Newfane
and West River Oranges. The next
meeting will be held with Protective
Grange, Brattleboro. Dec. 10, with election
and installation Of officers and comforting

Increase in Patients at Institution for
Insane.

There has been an abnormal increase
in the number of state patients con-
fined in the state hospital for the insane
and the Brattleboro Retreat in the past
biennial term. The average increase in
six years has been less than IL. while in
the last biennial term 1t was IS. and tae
total number of state patients confined
in the two institutions at the end of the
fiscal year was 742. There is a general
increase OF insanity throughout the
country, from which Vermont has not es-
capped. 1t is the opinion OF the super
visor OF the insane. however. that the
admission of victims of alcoholism and
drug habits. now provided by law. makes
a marked increase in the number of ad-
missions to such institutions. and that
still more of the increase is due to the
fact that people are more and more recog-
mixing the advantages Of hospital treat
ment. and more frequently avatling them
selves OF II for their relatives friends and
dependents.
There have been II men and five women
discharged who were found not to have
been insane when admitted, and three
patients. charged with crime but found
not guilty by reason of insanity. have
been recommended for discharge as
having recovered their normal condition.
OF IFS discharged from both hospitals,
So were sent away permanently, lis were
released conditionally and five were sent
back to the state prison at Windsor
Many of these conditionally discharged
never return, as they continue to improve
after leaving. and by granting such dis
charges the supervisors are able to keep
down the population OF the hospitals.
Vermont has two hospitals for the in
sane, one at Waterbury. erected and
maintained by the state, with a nurses
school in connection. and the other the
BrattlebOro Retreat. a private institution,
but with no stockholders and not operated
for profit. All the state patients were
sent to the Brattleboro institution pre-
vious to the erection of the state hospital.
and many are sent there now There are
now in the Retreat 37S patients. OF whom
1876 are private and the others are main
tanned by the state. special tuber-
culosis ward has been constructed at the
state hospital. and all consumptive
patients are now sent there, as are all
the criminal insane.

IN OUR OWN STATE
Canada Will Gain No Territory
from Vermont on New Survey
Joint American and Canadian Commits
sion Placing Markers Along the Border
Line North Of 45th Parallel.

Canada will gain no territory from
Vermont towns by the new mapping of
the International boundary now In prog
ress. Reports to the contrary from the
Province of quebec are pronounced at
Washington entirely untrue.
A Joint commission, comprising about
% persons, is now at work mapping this
boundary from Halls stream on the New
Hampshire border to Rouses's Point, N
Y. ]. B, Baylor is i'm charge OF the Amer
lean surveyors and G. c. Rainboth OF the
Canadian surveyors. The last diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill provided
$4,000 available for this work.
This work is almost enkrely the citing
up of new monuments. Along the Yer
mont border these monuments, which are
of cast iron, are all the way from
quarter of a mile to three or four miles
apart. Put down more than so years ago
on wood foundations. many of these mon
uments have now rotted away. They are
are being replaced with concrete foun-
dations
II is well understood in Washington,
and probably as well in government cir
Giles in Canada, that the Vermont line is
considerably north Of the 45th parallel Of
latitude That parallel was designated
as the boundary by the provisional treaty
of Client in 1882. Surveyors who ran the
line prior to that time were supposed to
and Canada. But. as a matter Of fact,
they We're a little north Of 1t, about half
a mile in some places Valentine and
Collins were the surveyors, but when the
Webster Ashburton treaty was drawn
in 1912 there was specific language which
superseded the former treaties.
The Webster-Ashburton treaty defined
the boundary as at "the head of Halls
stream: thence down the middle of said
stream till the line thus run ntersects the
old line of boundary surveyed and marked
by Valentine and Collins, previously to
the year l774, as the 45th degree of north
latitude. and which has been known and
understood to be the line Of actual divis
ion between the states OF New York and
Vermont on one side and the British
province Of Canada on the other; and
from said point Of intersection, west,
along the said dividing line as heretofore
known and understood to the lroquois
(St. Lawrencel river.
This treaty corrected whatever error
Valentine and Collins may have made
and therefore the boundary is now rightly
n trihe above the 45th parallel. That Is
why the surveyors. Canadians and Amer
leans. are now following the Valentine
and Collins line There is no dispute
among the representatives of Canada and
the United States about it as the Ian
guage Of the treaty is specific

COrliss refused to say much. but adj

what he supposed to be a wild animal.
He further states that he was too fright

shooting, but that the next morning II
occurred TO him that he might have been
the slayer OF Tracey. The gun, with
which the shooting is claimed to have
been done, was brought to the jail along

Return Of Ex-eov. Ide.

Henry Clay Ide, late governor general
OF the Philippine Islands. arrived at San
Francisco Monday on the Hong Kong
Maru accompanied by his daughter. Miss
Marjorie Ide. He has come home after
more than five years service in the far
East to attend the marriage Of his daugh-
ter. Annie to Bourke Cochran. The we'd
ding win take place at the Ide home in
st. Johnsbury shortly after Gov. Ide's
arrival
Speaking of the conditions in the
islands Gov. Ide said: THE Philippines
are today in better shape than they ever
were under American rule The labor
question is no longer a problem.
What the Philippines need. however,
is a square deal in the matter of the
tariff. BY annexation we killed the Span
ish market for the sugar and tobacco OF
the Philippines. and by our tariff we
barred these products from the United
States Both industries are today in a
state of prostration.
THE policing of the islands is almost
entirely in the hands Of natives. and ex-
cept in Leyte and Samar where the Hill
tribes make war on the lowlanders all
is peace in the Philippines"

Labree both claim to have gone to Walden

A Ludlow Mans Invention.

F. w. Agan OF Ludlow has received
a patent on a vacuum cleaner. The
cleaner stands upon a base fitted with
roller bearing casters, and is thus easily
moved about the room or from one room
to another. The turning of an outside
wheel starts a suction wheel in the centre
OF the machine. The operations OF the
suction wheel bring the dust and dirt
from the carpet or the bare floor through
a sweeper" and into jar half filled with
water. a can above the jar acting to
separate the dirt from the air. When the
water in the can becomes very dirty 1t
can be easily emptied and refilled- with
the machine comes a hose which can be
attached thereto and run out OF the
window or door. IL 1t is desired TO dispose
OF the dirt that way instead OF putting
