State Council was placed on repre-
sentative basis as to the future past
councillors, all the present ones being
retained as members of the state body;
this law also conforms to that of other
states and the national body, but is verv
liberal in its provisions. The date of
holding the annual meetings was changed
from the first Wednesday to the third
Wednesday OF October This will give
the state officers time to make up their
annual reports before the meeting.
The new officers elected for the coming
year are:
State councillor, William H. Jeffrey, of
East Burke.
State vice councillor, E. M. Massey,
of North Danville.
State secretary, A. E. White of Mont
pelier.

Long Distance Calls.

A newspaper paragraph that has been
going the rounds has it that the longest
long distance call on record is one over
1900 miles CT wire, from Montreal to a
point in the Northwest. This is hardly cor
rect. Here are a few calls between points OF
greater distance than the one quoted:
Boston to Kansas City, Mo-, 1904
miles; Boston to Minneapolis, Mimi,
1920 miles; Boston to Little Rock, Ark,
1548 miles; Boston to Omaha, Neb.,
1878 miles; Boston to Brainerd, Mimi,
1776 miles. Long distance calls are
becoming more common as people begin
to realize their manifold advantages.
The scope of such calls is constantly
being extended, although doubtless it
will be many day, if indeed the time
ever comes, ere one may talk from Bos-
ton to San Francisco. 1t is worth re-
calling, however, as indicative of the
existing long distance circle of communi-
cation, that Major Mckinley managed
his first campaign for the Presidency bv
means of the telephone, and that he
could speak to his representatives in Sc
states which cast 437 electoral votes, or
90 per cent of the entire electoral college.

Annual Session.

Junior Order United American Mechanics
The thirteenth annual session of the
State Council of Vermont, Jr. o. U. A.
M. was held at Grand Army Hall, Mont
pelier, on the LIST and 2nd.
The meeting was called to order at
2 O'Clock, State Councillor w. E. Gid
dings, of Springfield, in the chair. All
the. state officers, except the warden and
conductor answered to the formal roll
call. Twenty past councillors appeared
for the State Council degree and were
admitted. The afternoon session was
largely taken up by the usual routine
work and the nominating of state officers
for the coming year. Adjournment was
had at 5 o'clock that the finance com
mittee might complete its work of audit
ing the books and accounts of the State
Council and prepare its report.
At 8 o'clock in the evening the guests
were entertained by Green Mountain
Council of Montpelier with a most excel
lent program consisting of some excep-
tionally fine addresses and music. Miss
Muriel Snow gave piano selection as
the opening number, which was followed
by prayer by Rev. H. A. Buzzell. then
came a genuine patriotic treat in the
form Of a most eloquent address by Rev.
A. ]. Hough, pastor of the Montpelier
Methodist church, this was followed by
remarks by State Councillor Giddings.
Miss Snow then rendered a beautiful
solo which was greatly enjoyed by the
assembled guests. This feature of the
program was brought to most pleasing
close by State Vice Councillor Jeffrey,

Nebraska for Taft.

The friends of Secretary Taft have
reason to be encouraged in his presi
dental aspirations as the result of the
Nebraska republican convention. At the
convention held at Col. Bryan's home
the last week in September the conven-
ton adopted ringing endorsement OF
the Roosevelt policies and then added
this:
while not presuming to forestall the
action of any future convention, we
express the belief that the republicans of
Nebraska recognize in the Hon. William
H. Taft, of Ohio, one whose personal
character and whose long public service,
mark him as prominently the man under
whose leadership these policies would be
perpetuated."

who delivered stirring and patriotic
address which was vigorously applaud
ed. Then followed a bountiful banquet
furnished by Green Mountain Council
and the local Council of the Daughters
OF America, 100 persons being seated at
the tables. After the banquet there was
a closed session of Green Mountain
Council, at which the secret work of the
order was exemplifed in manner that
won high praise from the visiting dele
gates, and many present that had
witnessed the work bv the best degree
teams OF this and other states declared
TINS the finest that they had ever
witnessed.
Wednesday the session was opened
at . O'Clock and the delegates got down
10 the real work of the session; the finan-
clal reports showed the order to be in a
very prosperous condition; more than
Zoo members have been admitted during
the past year and one new council has
been instituted.
Much new legislation was BROUGHT
before the session and enacted into law.
ana the body voted general and
thorough revision of the state constitu-
ton and laws, and ordered that when
the revision was completed and printed

copy direct to each member of the order

honorary members will be necessary in
the future as new law adopted by this
session fixes the amount at not less

effect on January /, 1908. A state
Judiciary system was adopted. This will

WOOL MODERATELY
ACTIVE DURING
PAST WEEK
Prices Continue Strong, BoS-
ton Still Cheapest Market in
the World for Most Grades,

Bradstreet's Review for this week
sa-s:
Wool is moderately active, with
transactions distributed over many
different grades. Worsted and wooden
manufacturers are in the market, the
latter making more inquiries than of
late. Prices continue very strong,
further strength being added by the
opening Of the London sales, which
We're fully up to the level Of the No
vember series for high grades and
slightly higher on low cr%ossbreds.
Boston is still the cheapest market i'm
the world for most grades of wool.
and this advance in London has still
further widened the differences be-
tween similar grades of foreign and
domestic grades, foreign quarter
bloods. based on the advance, being
available at about SIS cents, while the
domestic quarters are fully cents be
low. All foreign markets are still ON
a high basis, though there has been a
slight reaction in Australia since the
holidays. 1t is now estimated that
the purchases for this country in
South America will be 80 per cent of
last years total. Manufacturers are
buyi~ actively i'm foreign markets.
and are pressing dealers on this side
for deliveries on domestic grades
bought some time since, showing mat
manufacturers stocks have reached "a
very low point. There is still talk Of
contracting i'm the west, and Boston
dealers have obtained q few clips. es-
pecially in Idaho, where the price paid
was 17m1S cents, but actually The
contracting thus far done is less than
for two years. Western growers are
very firm in their ideas. and dealers
are disposed to hold off for q while.
Prices show very little change beyond
a settling down to the basis of the
selections which are left, ana
available grades are held very firm.
Worsted woods are i'm very light stock.
and this is all that prevents a large
business being done i'm that class Of
woods. There is a good demand for
Australian woods in the Boston mar
ket, but tocks are very small. and
the majority of the recent arrivals
have been for manufacturers account.
