There seems TO be good ground for the
hope that the extensive buildings of the
Casein Company of America, located at
the south end Of the village, will be oc-
cupied again within a few months, al
though just what branch OF industry will
be carried on is not yet decided. Attor-
ney Sargent, OF the New York office of
the company was in town Monday and
stated 20 people here that there was
movement on foot looking toward the
American Linen company taking the
plant and converting II into a factory for
their goods. and that three of their repre-
sentatves were here one day last week
examining the buildings and machinery
The negotiations had not been completed
yesterday but all things looked favor
able for 1t. Mr.. Sargent stated that If
the plant could not be utilized by some
other concern by the first of the coming
year the present plan of the Casein COM
pany was to re-establish their business
here and employ nearly or quite as many
men as they formerly did. II the Linen
company used them 1t would have about
600 operatives. All these favorable pros
poets are good news for Bellows Falls
residents and their realization will be
still better news.

TECHNICAL SCHOOLS ARE

To study valuable technical and
art craftsmanship school one would
scarcely in England choose little
town of 14,500 inhabitants wherein
to make research. But in Austria it

special industries that the Educa-
tional Ministry plant their schools to
develop and advance the scientific
knowledge of those industries. Here
in Villach we are in the midst of for
ests. Wood forms the staple COM
modify, and SO in this interesting,
historic and picturesque town is

The school has three sections
building, art and cabinet work. In
the directors room one at once saw
all the hidden beauty and worth of
wood. Articles of everyday utility
were beside objects of art full of ex-
preston There was a figure of Sam
son, full of pathetic power; a por-
trait of the old master workman,
such a figure as Herkomer would
glory in; a statue of Dante, and a
Christ, reminding one of the work of

THEY MET DEATH IN
THE SAME ROOM

A special dispatch from Goldfield
to the Reno Gazette says: A remark
able coincidence develops in the case
of young Maunsell, the mining engin
eer who was murdered while in To-
cal restaurant a few nights ago.
Maunsell was the son of titled Eng
lishman, but he preferred the virile
life of the west, instead of the velvet
ease of his ancestral estates. He
graduated from a university in Ger
many, and took postgraduate courses
in several big American schools. He
ranked high in his profession. Final
ly Count Podhorsky, the Russian no.
bleman, became attracted by the
young mans worth and attached him
to his corps of engineers. Five
months ago Podhorsky went to Gold
field, and there he became involved
in trouble over a woman and was
shot to death. 1t was in the same
room that young Maunsell, the ill
starred English youth, met his death
at the hands of Deputy Sheriff Glib
son, who was escorting two women
to whom, so Gibson claims, Maunsell
made an insulting remark: Gibson's
story is doubted, as the man whom
he killed was always known to be
gentleman.

to people from whom capital could
otherwise be drawn for legitimate
mining ventures, may be rightly
classed as an undesirable citizen. He
should be treated as an enemy of the
people, and should be made to feel
the force of public disapproval ex-
pressed in no uncertain manner.
Any good mining camp, as al
ready asserted, can secure all the
capital it needs if it will rid itself of
undesirable citizens of the class here
mentioned Vigilance committees
should be organized when necessary,
and conditions in the best camps call
for untiring vigilance. because the
best camps are usually the ones most
afflicted. There is no occasion to re-
sort to unlawful action, however. All
that is required is publicity, publ
city of kind that any camp can
have if the people of the camp are
sufficiently aroused to the necessity
for publicity.

UNDERGRADUATES BOOSTING.

The Denver Daily Mining Record
makes the following pertinent re-
MARKS editorially, in regard to indis-
criminate boosting of new mining
camps:
Organized knocking would help
most new mining camps more than
any amount of indiscriminate boost
ing, organized or unorganized, Once
it become known that public opinion
in mining camp would not permit
the waste of capital in wildcat
schemes, there would not be the least
difficulty in securing all the capital
needed for legitimate development in
that camp.
ITO boost for the other fellows
game, whether it is good or bad, is a
rule than insures summer seas and
smooth sailing for the most outra-
geous swindles. The principle is the
same as that expressed in the pro-
verb: You scratch my back, and I'll
scratch yours and it may be taken to
indicate the presence of vermin.
THE promoter or operator who
ventures to express an honest opin-
ion about promotion he knows to
be dishonest is marked for punish
ment by cliques that fear exposure,
and the members of which can only
hope for success in an atmosphere of
indiseriminate boosting. AS result,
silence about fakes in enforced, and
only the boosters are permitted to
talk
las the nature of indiscriminate
boosting is easily detected, its effect
is to dscredit all reports from camps
where indiscriminate boosting is
prevalent. Investors become wary,
and both legitimate and illegitimate
promotions suffer.
Such conditions call for heroic
remedies. Vigilance committees have
been organized on far less provoca-
ton. The good name of mining
camp should be protected by all those
that have the true welfare of the
camp at heart, and by those who are
dependent for success on its perma-
nent prosperity.
THE promoter that makes use OF
the fame of good mining district, in
order to sell worthless mining stock
