STATE NURSERY FOR FOREST
TREES.
Tree Planting Bulletin from the Vermont
Experiment Station

A bulletin from the Vermont Expert
ment Station calls attention to the i'm
portant action of the last legislature in
passing law establishing a State Nursery
at the station in Burlington for growing
forest tree seedlings The law specifies
that these seedlings are to be furnished
at cost for planting in the state. and the
station has already arranged to supply
several lots of trees for planting this
spring c. II. Pettis. the New York state
forester, is 10 act as consulting forester
for the Vermont Station. Special atten-
ton is called to the announcement that the
New York Forest commission has given
the Vermont state Nursery a consider
able number of two-year old white pine
seedlings and offered to furnish an ad-
ditional supply upon order through the
vermont Nursery at cost of growing and
packing. As a result it will be possible
Tor the State Nursery to take orders as
long as this quantity permits. for deliv-
cry between May l and May 10 at $3.50
per thousand plants for small orders and
somewhat less for large ones. This is
less than half the nurseryman's usual
price. May is the best month for plant
ing and all orders should be in by May l.
This twoyear old stock Is too small
for planning i'm permanent place this
spring except where conditions are al
together favorable. For most cases it
should be set in the nursery row and
drawn upon as needed for planting after
one or two years further growth For
further advice apply promptly to the EN-
pertinent Station, Burlington. Vt.

FELL 40 FEET TO THE ROCKS.
Arnold Woodbury., Brakeman on the Bos-
ton G. Maine Railroad, Injured at West
River Sunday Night.

Arnold Woodbury., Brakeman on the Bos-
ton G. Maine Railroad, Injured at West
River Sunday Night.
Arnold Woodbury., brakeman on the
Boston q Maine railroad, was badly in
jured Sunday night by falling nearly 40
feet from the West river railroad bridge
to the rocks below. His escape with three
broken ribs and internal injuries, from
which he will probably fully recover, is
little short of miraculous considering the
distance he fell The accident occurred
a little after 8 o'clock. Woodbury. was
brakeman on a special freight which
pulled out of the station expecting to have
time to reach DummerSton before the
south-b bound evening train arrived. The
special had gone but a little way above
the West river bridge when it was found
that the passenger train was not so late
as supposed and that there would not be
time to reach Dummerston. The freight
started back and Woodbury. stepped off
the engine to signal the oncoming pas
senger train. He was a new man on this
run and did not know where the bridge
was. He swung off the engine just as it
was passing from the bridge and fell to
the rocks on the south side of the river
bank. AS soon as possible he was re-
moved TO the railroad station and the
ambulance summoned. DR.. f. H. O'Con-
nor attended him and he was taken to
the Memorial hospital. 1t was found that
three ribs were broken and that he was
injured internally as well as sustaining
painful bruises. He was reported to be
resting as comfortably as could be eX-
pected the next day and his condition was
not considered dangerous.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL
ROAD COMMISSIONERS MEETING.

state Commissioner Charles w. Gates
Gave the Windham County Men In
struetion Regarding Permanent High
ways.
The road commissioners of Wndham
county were well pleased with the con-
ference they had last Friday with State
Highway Commissioner Charles w. Gates,
The morning session was given up largely
to getting acquainted and establishing
right relations between the local road
commissioners and the county road COM
missioner, David II. Perry. In the aft
ernoon the practical side of road building
was taken up ana Mr.. Gates laid down
the principles of road building which
should be at the foundation of all the
work done this year. The towns i'm the
county have voted $4,000 for permanent
road work and the state will appropriate
a like sum. with this $4,000 a start will
be made on putting the main highways
between the towns in a permanently good
condition. Mr.. Gates gave them to I'M
derstand that this did not necessarily
mean that all the money would be eX-
pended in putting in small stretches of
macadam. Permanent road building
meant putting in solid foundations, es-
tablishing grades, building good culverts
and all other work which had to be done
preliminary to laying macadam. The To-
cal conditions had to be studied i'm order
to get the most out of the permanent
road fund The county commissioner was
there to give expert advice about spend
ing the money as well as give suggestions
as to town work of a more or less tenn
porary nature. The afternoon session was
wholly informal and the problems which
confronted the local road commission
ers were discussed from many stand
points. The success of the conference as
a means of unifying the highway work
throughout the county was manifest and
the desire for more frequent conference
was expressed freely. 1t is probable that
the county road commissioner will call
meetings at intervals for the commission
ers of towns having the same interests
and the same problems to meet

IN OUR OWN STATE
TAXES FROM CORPORATIONS.
Since Jan. I and There is More to Be
Paid Soon.


Paid Soon.
The state treasurer and state tax COM
missioner have filed with the secretary of
state, according to law. list Of the cor
porations that had paid their license taxes

ganiZed corporations, and &C uuorganizcd
companies holding charters. total of
$50 companies, had paid their annual IL

of these companies on April / but by pay
ing an additional sum as a penalty they
were able to remit their tax up to Tues
day. Others of the companies were al
lowed until April Is in which to pay. Fur
Their, the state tax commissioner may in
his discretion extend the time of pay
ment Hence exact figures as to the num-
Der of corporations that will pay, and the
number of delinquents whose charters will
be revoked cannot be obtained until a
little later when the secretary of state
ana the tax commissioner go over the list
of charters issued and make the final
checking. ana actually revoke the charters
of those I'm arrears.
The exact amount of financial returns
cannot be given until the final balance is
struck, but figures approximately correct
are ohtainable at this time From Janu-
airy ! to April of the current year the
state treasurer received from annual IL
censc taxes the sum of $23, 0g3 30. From
the railroad companies the state treas
urer received as corporation taxes. be-
tween January and April 10 Of the cur
rent year the sum of SgO.077.5l. The to-
tai received from license taxes and the

ing the wreck of the New England States
Limited AT Bolton on the night Of Jan
20, 1906. was given his freedom April H.
when the charge Of train wrecking and
another charge of perjury, alleged to have
been committed, We're mol pressed at his
hearing before the state railroad com
mission in the Chittenden county court.
McCabe had been out under bonds
The reasons for mol pressing the train
wrecking indictment were not officially
declared, but it was said the perjury
charge was rendered ineffective because OF
the action of the last legislature in pass
ing new perjury statute without a saw
ing clause covering existing cases. The
wreck of the train was due to an open
switch, which caused the derailment Of
the entire train No one however. was
injured. An investigation showed that
the switch had been unlocked and Ian
tern fastened by wire i'm such a po-
sltlon as to indicate that the switch was
