The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1907-06-07

"The women of Bradford have
lately organized a Village I'm
provement society and will add to
the attract1vehess of that already
very attractive village. Nature
has done much in the way of
natural beauty of scenery, ETC.,
for Bradford but there is always
good work in any village for an
Improvement Society to do and
if this new one at Bradford, with
its list of bright, energetic Off
GERS, possessing disposition and
a "know how" to do things,
doesn't keep things we'll brushed
up and flower beds in bloom in
that village, then we miss our
guess"
Thus the Lyndonville Journal
gives the Bradford Society a
word of encouragement. Lyn-
donville has a robust Society,
ten years of age, and it has &C
complished wonders. Not only
do they keep the place in apple
pie order but they have bought
and laid out parks, recreation
grounds, bought sprinkler, be-
sides numerous other eXpendi-
lures of smaller amounts to keep
Lyndonville in the front rank of
towns. The work of these soci-
cites is of inestimable value to
the towns, even to their financial
interest as the Society, while it
asks lot, is also willing to do its
share toward the expense of this
cleaning up regime. The Brad
ford society is young, but with a
little encouragement it will be
more useful with age. Let us all
work together.

The principal of the Rutland
High School is reelected after
all. The committee must have
begun to see light as the agita-
ton became acute and pressure
from business men and parents
made its presence known. The
man must have been the right
man for the place if parents,
business men and pupils wished
his return enough to make things
uncomfortable for the committee,
after a service of fourteen years.
The best of it is that he returns
at 81, 900 for his fifteenth year,
which is one hundred dollars
better than last year.

A news item announced that
the meeting at Cornish Flats on
a Saturday recently was for re-
organization of the Lincoln party
on broader lines. Whereat some
of the New Hampshire state pa
pers iibed merrily at the Reform
Club and its mor1bund state.
The meeting did not take place,
and may never have been con-
templated. And maybe the Club
is not so dead as some of the reg
u1ar politicians would like to
think it is. Are they simply
whistling. by the graveyard.

The St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
has an eye on Hon. ]. A. DeBoer
as the right man for the presi-
denCy of Dartmouth. He IS a
Dartmouth man, and he is fine
executive with much experience.
The trouble is that Mr.. DeBoer is
needed right where he is and he
is making a large success of his
present field. The trustees, as
the Caledonian says, will do well
to take a glance at this Montpe-
1ier man.

DR.. w. J. Long, the naturalist,
defends his statements, called in
question by the president, in a
manly, straightforward manner
citing the proofs and incidents
upon which he based the asser-
ton of wolf killing a caribou
by bite in the chest. He does
not act like a "nature fak1r"
and, perhaps, the president owes
him an apology. AT any rate he
owns him the justice of an inves
tigatiou of his proofs.

PIG IRON MARKET
OPTIMISTIC FEELING PREVAILS
 THROUGHOUT DISTRICT.
Despite Fact That Little Buying 10 Goinx on all Indications Point tO
 Prosperous Year For Manufacturer.

Birmingham, July 21.-(Special.)- An optimistic feeling prevails In the Alabama pig iron market and positive ly no apprehension is felt by the manu- lecturers as to the future prospects
 Despite the fact that there Is not great amount of buying going On. ali indications point to strong market and the need of large quantities of the product in the near future. Much 'com- plaint is heard coming from the north and west that the money market ls hard and the iron mart Is bound to suffer on that account but so Tar no alarm Is felt by the manufacturers and they are waiting for the business to come in instead of sending agcn-s out to urge the consumers to buy.
 A few sales of iron are still being made for delivery during the first half of the coming year and It IS not de- nied that a little concession was made On the quotations that nave been in effect for some time, No. foundry iron beingr sold under $1S.bO per ton. A few thousand tons of spot iron were offered recently In this district ana 1t was so quickly gobbled up that the manufacturers are certain that there IS need for a large quantity of iron or will soon be. This lot spot iron was offered, it is stated. more for the pur- pose of ascertaining conditions than anything else and the quickness with which the consumers came out of their holes showed that there was some need for iron. This iron was sold IS low as $21 per ton, No. foundry. The make in Alabama this week shows but little if any, difference as compared to the previous weeks pro- duction. There is no denying the fact that the ore supplies are not what | they should be and all the development | intended will not bring about any too 1 great a production of this material. The opening of new mines and the pur- | chasing of ore from. ore mining com
 panies on the part of iron making con- | cerns in this district Is not folly at | all. There is plenty or ore 10 be had | in this district but it mas been only | lately that any attention has been 1 given to this branch of the industry | New furnaces have been erected and

the indications point to a steady opera tion by all through the year, orders in hand or in sight warranting this con dition. Every section of the coal field in Alabama Is being traversed now by prospective purchasers who have a developing bee in the bonnet. The statement is made that all owners of large tracts of coal lands will find a ready sale for any Or all Of their holding upon the first day that the same Is for sHle. Much Alabama, coal is now being shipped throughout the South and tho inquiries being received would indicate that this trade Is going to extend If the product can be placed at the sea ports with ease and in good time Miners are wanted in all parts of the mining district and efforts are being made to supply the needs The district board of the United Mine Workers Of America will make an ef- fort to place men who want to join the union at such miAing camps whore the union wage scale and rUIes are ob- served.
 Coke is In better demand than at any time in the past four months. There is a large accumulation of the product. The demand. however. by fall will require a big cut into this ac- cumulated stock.

AS a result of his libelous charges

AS the advertisement appeared in
