WET WEATHER
BAD FOR BUSINESS
II Has Generally Given Local
Trade Set Back This
Week.
BANKERS ARE OPTIMISTIC.
Pleased with the Good Impression
Left by Presidents Decoration Day
Spccch--Gcneral outlook.

The unreasonable, wet, cold weather
has IN n large measure given local busi-
ness something of a setback; but it
las i'll general been very fair all the
same. In Banking, the local demand
Keeps pace With the supply. The situ-
alton in the east is considered favor
able. and has a steadying effect at this
point. The rise in wheat is considered
by Salt Lake bankers as amply iusti-
ned, so that ;he Utah farmer expects
tu profit by the increased price for his
products. This will react with health
full effect on local business conditions
Reports TO the banks about the beet
crops are at present satisfactory, the
urices being such as to give this in
portanJ industry healthy tone. Then
the prospective cleaning up of the
troubles at Rock Springs is giving sat
isfaction.
PRESIDENTS SPEECH DID n.
Ranking officials remark that tho
presidents Decoration day speech has
left good impression in money circles.
After all, what the railroad companies
wish is that the public will lend them
money and buy from them securities
on reasonable terms. There is little
doubt that the investors would fare
very well if the presidents proposals
were incorporated into laws and then
executed by men of high character
without leaning into politics. 1t is held
that the presidents intentions as 10
railroad control should favorably in
nuence the investing public, There is
a feeling of security also on account Of
the good rains that have fallen in
Kansas. Nebraska and the northwest
thus relieving the drouth. At the same
limo commercial business has bcen

IN the northern part Of the country.
AS To the unreasonable weather this
year Can be compared with 1882, which
had tho coolest spring ON record. In
that year the crops of wheat, cotton,
oats, etc. established new high rec-
ords. From this 1t can be seen that
one need not take 1t for granted that
this years crops will be short.
REALTY MARKET.
Tho realty market has experienced
another quiet week as far as ANYTHING

Ccacerned. But dealers report very

account Of the development of the Now

the price may not be so excessive. But
real estate men complain Of the grasp
Ing tendencies of property owners who
still insist on figures which the realty
men claim are far above what the act
ual status of the market would war
rant, SO dealers are agreeing now TO
bind prospective grantors by contracts
to sell AT the figures understood at the
time OF the first bargain. Realty men
saN 1t is common for owners OF prop

price. but in a short time afterWard,
when called upon to make the trans

to sell ut the figure named, but prefer
a higher one. This upsets the whole
deal, and is aggravating to both the
dealer and his client. With A contract

Railroad Fights a Recently En-

RAILROAD HAD CONTRACT
RAILROAD HAD CONTRACT
And When Another Company Tried to
Put Telephone III Station, r. r.
Company Refused.

Brattleboro, Nov. 2O.--The most
important case on the docket at this
session OF the Vermont Supreme court
now, sitting here, was taken up today
1t Is that of the state against the
Boston and Maine railroad for viola
ton of the telephone law enacted by
the legislature of 1906.
This law requires that eyeryrailroad
doing business in the state shall grant
every person or corporation operating
public telephone lines in the state and
having at least 500 telephone connec-
tons, equal and reasonable terms and
facilities for installing telephone in
struments In depots and Offices of such
railroad companies.
The Vermont Peoples Telephone
company of Orleans county demanded
the right to install one of its instru-
ments in the Boston and Maine rail-
road station at Barton Landing last
March. and was refused permission to
do so the railroad company having a
15-year exclusive contract with the
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company. The company was ad-
judged guilty, and an appeal taken to
the Supreme court.
The case was argued today for the
railroad by John Young of Newport
Attorney General c. c. Fits of Brat
tleboro argued for the state Tomor-
row morning w. b. c. Stickney of
Bethel will finish the argument for
the railroad The company claims
that the law is unconstitutional, be-
cause 1t provides no compensation to
the railroad company for the extra
burden imposed upon it.; because it i'm
pairs the obligation of its contract,
and for various other reasons The
state claims that the contract with the
New England company is in restraint
of trade and against public policy, and,
therefore. void, and that the require
ment of the statute relates strictly
to the matter Of public service, only
equal and reasonable. terms being de-
manded.

VICTIMS OF ORGANIZED GANGS
Five Turks Before United States Com
missioner at St. Adams.

st. Adams, Nov. 20-A hearing was
begun today before United States Com.
missioner Warren r. Austin In the
case of Bedros Kejerian, Soultan Ma
jarian, Alazar Najarian, Siranaus Ma
jarian and Arten Manouk Armenians
or Turks. who were detained Monday
night by immigration Inspector 4. II.
Twohey Jr., OF Swanton and lodged in
Jail heref
The first named prisoner is held on
the charge of violating the immigra-
ton laws while the other four sons are
held in default of bail as witnesses
The hearing was postponed until Mon
day forenoon, when District Attorney
Alexander Dunnett of st. Johnsbury is
expected
Bedros Kejerian is believed TO have
been smuggling Others in the party IN
TO this country unlawfully. Ii is
known that an organized gang exists
in Montreal for the purpose of fleeing
ignorant foreigners by leading them
to believe that they can get into the
United States only by paying large
sums of money to these smugglers to
bring them across the border by
stealth, and many foreigners thus do
not try to come in a lawful manner.

CAN'T EXCLUDE HEBREWS.
New York Judge Renders Decision In
Apartment House Case.

New York Judge Renders Decision In
Apartment House Case.
NEW YORK. Nov. 21.--Justice Lynn
In the municipal court decided against
the contention that hotel or apart.
ment house could exclude tenant on
the ground Of his being q Hebrew.
The decision says in part:
'eThe counsel In support Of his eli.
ent's attitude formally states in ha
brief, The court win take judicial mo-
tice Of the fact that among the Chris.
tian element in the community there
is prejudice against living in oommu,
nifty with Hebrews and that In recog.
milton Of this prejudice owners Of no.
tells and apartment houses throughout
the country in many instances decline
to extend their accommodations to per.
sons of this race
I'm answer to this feel constrained
to say that this contention Is obnox.
ious to law and contrary to fact. While
the prejudice may exist among isno-
rant, illiterate and irreligisus people, II
certainly cannot be said that 1t exists
generally among the genuine Christian
element In this community nor could II
find lodgment in the mind Of any self
respecting American citizen. Howev-
or, nothing would be gained by further
considering this question Of prejudice.
1t Ii not and never could be matter
whereof any court in our land would
take judicial notice"

FUR BUSINESS INCREASING
About $4,000 Worth Of Raw Skins
Will be Shipped This Year.

Rutland, Nov. 20.-The buying and
selling of ray furs in this vicinity is
increasing rapidly, the business hav.
ing doubled In the last two years. OF
ter Creek, Cold River, the Castleton
river and the Chittenden pond are all
excellent places for fur bearing ami
mails such as mink and muskrats. The
banks of these streams and ponds are
In many cases lined with skunk, coon,
and fox dens. The reason for the in
crease in the number of furs bought
by local dealers is the increase in the
price Of nearly all fur bearing animals
which has caused the trappers to put
forth extra effort.
Mink skins are now selling from %
cents to SIS and muskrats are selling
for from Is to % cents each. Two
years ago, the price paid for mink was
from rs cents to 50 and for muskrats
from s to Is cents. The price of
coons and red foxes remains about
the same as two years ago, 50 for q
good coon and $3.50 for a good red fox.
Skunks this year are selling at great
ly reduced price, good skunk now
bringing but 80 cents. Last year a
good one brought slips.
1t is estimated that the shipments Of
raw furs by local dealers this year
will be worth about $4,000 against
$4,000 worth three years ago. Many
of the small dealers in the vicinity
have been buying furs of boys, paying
them but small part Of their actual
value and such amateur trappers will
do well to be careful as to whom they
sell their pelts.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN WREckiNc
Tie on the Track Near North Dorset
Yesterday Afternoon.

The engineer Of the southbound
flyer yesterday afternoon had a few
anxious seconds: Coming around a
curve between Dandy and North Dor
set he saw hard pine tie lying square
ly across the rails where 1t had evi.
IDENTIFY been placed by some one with
the intention of wrecking the train.
The engineer threw on the air brakes,
but as the tie was only train length
away when seen he was unable to
stop before reaching the tie. Fortu-
nately the pilot Of the locomotive
struck the obstruction squarely and
threw 1t from the rails and to one side
OF the track.
There is as yet no clue to the per.
petrator Of the vicious act. Had the
tie twisted under the locomotive when
struck instead Of flying out of the
path of the train or had 1t been thrown
in between the rails the train would
have stood good chance of leaving
the iron.
