ut is very seldom our company
take q working bond on a property
and place the owner in charge, but
we did it in the case with Mr.. Smith,
and we have nothing to regret"
said Mr.. Mackenzie to the editor
OF this paper. II was the first
member OF our company to become
interested in the Buster, and it
was largely through my influence
with the other members that Mr..
Smith was placed in charge.
What has been done shows that
Mr.. Smith is a practical miner
understanding all details and cap
able to execute them, and work
also shows that the men employ ed
are men who in capability are
above the average miner"
Mr.. Mackenzie referred to the
large territory Of the Elk basin,
the excellent surface showings,
and remarked on the timber and
water power here that will in the
future play an important part in
the development Of the mineral
resources of this vast territory.
Being a very conservative and
reserve man, Mr.. Mackenzie could
not be induced to speak on his
expectations for the future of the
central Idaho mining districts, but
seemed to impress the writer with
the idea that the public will know
from the mere fact that his COM
pany has bought property here.
Selling Price of Buster.
Just how much money Mr..
Smith got for the Buster mine is
not known outside the parties d.
rectly concerned, but the price is
generally estimated from a quarter
to half million dollars, the price
probably being nearer the latter
figure. 1t is known that before
the strike was made when the prop
erty was under bond to the Eng.
fish syndicate that $780, 600, cash,
was refused. The new strike prob.
ably doubled the property's value,
and after that enough work was
done to prove that the new ore
shoot was a big one and that
values lived with depth.

FLAG AND NATION.
Tho National Salute and the Salute TO
the Union.

The question as to why the ma
tional salute consisted of twenty
one guns was put to one of the
classes at Washington preparing
young men for the entrance exam
nations for West Point and An
napolis, and, strange to say, not one
of the embryonic generals or adj
mirals "hit the nail on the head"
The "coach," who knows Ameri-
can history away down underneath,
furnished the information that the
national salute, which is the inter-
national salute-that is, the salute
given to the national fag-is fixed
by army regulations at twenty-one
guns, and that the number appears
to have been in conformity to the
custom of foreign nations at the
time when the number was so fixed.
The first record of a national sa-
lutte is in the army regulations of
1912, which was in conformity to
the number of states comprising the
Union, then eighteen, but in 1918
a new regulation was made fixing
the number at twenty-one, which
was at that date the number of
states in the Union, and which was
at the same time in accordance with
the kings regulations Great Brit
ain), which fixed twenty-one guns
to be fired as a salute on the ami
versary days of the birth, accession
and coronation of the king, the
birth of the queen, tho restoration
of Charles IL. and the gunpowder
treason.
At that date the national salute
in France was also fixed at twenty
one guns, to be fred only on Corpus
Christi day and on the kings birth
day.
1t is proper to remark, however,
that the national salute of twenty
one guns at the present time APP
pears to be peculiar to the United
States and Great Britain, inasmuch
as the national salute of France is
1O1 guns, of Germany 33 guns, and
that the superlative salute in the
United States is that on the Fourth
of July of one gun for each state
in the Union, and it is called the
salute to the Washington
Post,

CHANGE IN THE DEER LAW
Open Season This Year Oct. 2t-26'
Many Bird Hunters Seek Licenses.

State Fish and Game Commission
er H. G.. Thomas is receiving many
letters regarding the change in the
open deer season which has caused
some confusion.
The open season will begin at
midnight October q and continue
until midnight October 26, being
six days of the last full week in
October, instead of the last ten days
of October, as heretofore. Already
Mr.. Thomas has received nearly one
hundred applications for hunters
licenses, mostly for bird shooting,
which have brought in $500. The
license fee for bird hunters from out
side the state is SIS, while the fee
for deer hunters is $40.

AGAINST Underfeedina.

A medical man who is an ac-
knowIedged authority on diet has
uttered a warning against the idea
that there is anything healthy in a
restricted diet. Disputing the popu-
lar belief in the prevalence of over
eating, he asserts that many deaths
from heart failure are largely due
to foolish neglect to take sufficient
nourishment, Rigorous dieting to
reduce weight is, he considers, al
ways dangerous, 1t is better to
work off the superfuous flesh by
exercise. Again, the habit of re-
stricting the food allowance results
in a decline of appetite, whereas our
object should be to increase the APP
petite and thereby strengthen the
digestive powers, assisting the result
by judicious exercise. The first
sign of illness in man or an animal
is usually loss of appetite, while, on
the other hand, a good appetite is
generally sign of fine health.-Ex-
change.

The members of Rising Sun lodge
of Free Masons of South Royalton
celebrated on Tuesday the Tooth an
niversary of the lodge. Officers of
the Vermont grand lodge took
prominent part in the exercises.
After exempliAcaton of the work,
public exercises were held in the
Congregational church. A banquet
was arranged for the evening. No
records of the organization from
1889 to 1849 can be found, due pre-

to things Masonic at that period.
The members were obliged to hold
their meetings at secret places and

The Abbott Memorial Library Of
POmfret.
Editor of the Age;

Editor of the Age:
The Abbott Memorial Library Of
Pomfret is in good hands and is 60
ing to give great pleasure to the
people who own it and maintain it.
A library used to be thought of as a
solemn and quite depressing place
which one visited in silence and
awe, looking upon the librarian as a
dangerous Watchdog. to be aroused
from her sleep only in extreme need,
The modern public Libraries are not
of the old-fashioned kind, save in
rare cases of arrested development.
The Librarian of the Abbott library
has the right idea as to the purpose
for which a community maintains Il
public library, She makes it, first
of all, attractive to old and young,
She understands that the books in it
will not serve their purpose unless
they are read, and that they will not
be read unless those who own them
come to the library and make their
acquaintance
Moreover, she understands that a
beautiful building like that in Pom
fret, with it's cozy rooms, open fire,
interesting pictures, and comfortable
chairs, can be and should be much
more than a place from WHICH to
draw book. She sees that it can't
help being a center for much of the
social life Of tie town; a centre
where the best ideas, the most help
full suggestions will naturally come
for exchange, and where many good
thoughts for the betterment Of Pom
fret will take their beginnings.
Pardon me if | grow a little en-
thusiastic over Pomfret and it's Ii
brary, as the result of brief visit
there a few days ago. My excuse is
found inPomfret's general repute as
social community; in the fact that
l was kindly received when | tried
to teach school there many years ago;
and in the fact that the librarian was
my own teacher in boyhood's days

Revised Version.

In a certain Sunday school re-
Gently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupt
ing influences of great riches,
Toward the close of the exer-
cises the superintendent called upon
the infant class to repeat the Gold
en- Text, which had special refer
ence to mans inability to serve his
Creator and the money god at one
and the same time. The class fail
ed to respond as it should, when the
superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who
had that very morning been drilled
thoroughly on the text, called on
him. The response was immediate,
though slight departure from the
original, for in a voice that was dis
tinctly heard in all parts of the
room there came the following mod
ifcation:
eye cannot serve God and NAM

The White River Junction Railway
Station.

Sodom and Gomorrah were un-
hoalthful places of residence, but if
the inhabitants, when they left, had
to 90 through place like the rail
way station at White River Junction
it's no wonder they stayed at home
and took their medicine! The recent
kindly criticisms Of The Age on this
center Of confusion, Ignorance and
transformation met with universal
approval, as was shown by letters re-
ceived and requests for copies of the
paper. The State Railroad Commits
sion promises to look into the matter
at an early day. The Royal Party,
the Governor and some Of his
Friends, visited the institution ON
their way to the State Fair. There
seems no foundation for the rumor
that the Governor was with great
difficulty drawn from enthusiastic
contemplation Of the greatest exhibit
ton of human intelligence he had
ever seen-35,000 people finding
their way about, in the midst of l6
railroad tracks crossing one another
at varying angles, and filed with
trains going in ten different direc-
tons at once, and all without the aid
of Il single sign Or guide or official
of any kind.
We have it from an exasperated
traveller that on the third day of the
frjr ut noon, this Hateful Hole was
absolutely barren of information; not
a sign was up, net an official open to
questions was to be found where
needed Our informant admits,
however, that he caught one conduc-
tor, rushing off for his lunch, and
that from this conductor he got a
ropIy to one question, ""d thot oho
information was both grudgingly
given-and erroneous.
That is quite in the White River
Junction Railway Station style, You
cant learn anything there, and, if
you do learn anything it isn't So

A BATTLE OF HEROES
Al Roeroy Fell Forever the Once In
vinoible Spanish infantry,

In 1913 the Spanish governor Of
the Netherlands, Francis Of MclIo,
besicgcd Rocroy, which !, not far
from the frontier Of Flanders. The
army hastily sent up to relieve 10
croy was commanded by the youth
full Duke of Enghien, aitcrward
"the great Condo" lie was but
twenty-five and had with him as
monitor in war the aged and timid
Marshal PHopital. Enghicn had
the daring of boy and the eve Of
conqucror. He was one of those
whom ineypericncc helps to great
victories.
Fearlessly he advanced his men
through dangerous dctilc, where
they might easily have been over
whelmed. Fearlessly he deployed
under the eyes of the Spanish army,
which stood in its slow, stoGd way
waiting to be attacked, Lllopital
held the right wing of the enemy in
check while Enghien routed their
left, and then with his light NOV
ing cavalry got around to their right
wing and routed that also, thus re-
lieving L'IIoptal, who was hard
pressed. Still there remained COM
pact center, reserve of Spanish
infantry, the invincible soldiers who
for so long had triumphed on every
battlefield. Against these the I'M
petuous Enghien hurled himself,
and a battle Of heroes ragged. Thrice
tho strong infantry Of spain dashed
back the waves Of fierce assault. AT
the fourth rush of the gallant
French they broke and gave. The
great rock which had braved SC
many storms tottered and fell. The
waves of the victorious attack came
boiling and surging over the ruin.
Then fell forever the invincible
Spanish infantry, the terror of the
world. More than 100 years before
French courage had destroyed the
belief in the mconquerable Swiss.
Now Enghien had done the same
thing with the Spaniards. RocrOy
restored the threatened preponder-
ance of the French in the war.

Livinu Snow,

One of the most curious sights in
northwestern Canada is that of liv-
ing snow. There a curious phe
nomenon is seen in the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
when a thaw occurs. During the
winter the snow is dry and crisp,
like sand, and nothing whatever
can be discovered of these insects,
but as soon as a thaw comes they
are found everywhere in large
patches, looking like a busting of
SCOT. They are generally known as
snow feas, or jumpers, and have
slight hopping powers, being able to
leap three or four inches. They en-
tirely disappear when it freezes
again, and not a trace of them can
be found. They do not fall with
the snow, as there may have been
no snow for a month or more be-
fore their arrival, and are probably
something similar to the cred snow"
