The ringing of the church bells and the
firing of crackers announced Monday
evening that the 15-day whirlwind cam
paign for the St, Johnsbury Y. M. c. A.
had been successful and the hands on the
big clocks rested at $27 500. Upon the
announcement of the result i'll the Asso-
citation room there was prolonged ap-
plause and then all rose and joined in
the Doxology. The final gifts came
between the outbursts of applause and
the last amount was reported just as the
clock struck II.
When it was supposed at 8 o'clock
the reports from the teams and the citi-
zens' committee were all in and there
was still $405 lacking, Joseph Fairbanks,
the efficient treasurer of the campaign,
chose the psychological moment to an
nounce a subscription of $1,000 from
Mrs. Rebecca P. Fairbanks. This was
the signal for prolonged applause and
shouting Then Frank H. Brooks, the
| president of the Association, and whose
large contribution made possible the
Inauguration of the campaign, announc
ed that he had just received telegram
from Charles H. Morse of Chicago sub
scribing $500. This was the signal
for more applause which made the
rafters ring Then Charles F. Goodall
incidentally inquired if the teams had
all reported, and on being informed that
more was coming from Carl H. Turner's S
team then in the lead, said that team
No. 4 wished to add $46O to their report
"at this time" This was followed by
great applause and a general hustling
for more subscriptions from Mr. Turner's
team. Both Of these teams brought in a
few more subscriptions during the even
ing and at II o'clock Secretary Bowen
announced that 27,653.60 had been
subscribed. More came in yesterday and
more is anticipated through the week,
and in next weeks paper we will give
the names of contributors who did not
send in their contribution before the con-
test closed.
Following the supper. which was the
largest in attendance of the series, with
the exception of ladies' night, brief and
encouraging addresses were made by
Principal Rowland, Prof. Henry Fair
banks, Rev. Ernest Holman, Joseph
Fairbanks, R. W. Simonds, L. N. Smythe,
Secretary Heb, Secretary Bowen and
Frank H. Brooks.
1t is interesting to note that this
amount was received from 1245 indi-
viduals and firms, while in one case, at
least, the $40 from the Christian En-
deavor society at St. Johnsbury East
represented a group of individuals. The
$25, 900 will be used as outlined on the
pledge card, for purchasing of Prof
Fairbanks the balance of the Association
block, for taking up the $4,000 mort
gage on Music Hall, and for remodellina
the Association building to conform
to the needs and requirements of the
present time. Any amount over S25,
900 can we'll be used towards the much

Fellows Home at Ludlow, Saturday, of
tuberculosis after long illness of four
years. Mr.. Burnham was born in Will

te1nber 10, 1891, he was married in
Lancaster to Miss Katie B. ZONES, who
with one son, Paul, survives him. He
was employed as carpenter at E. & T.

his home here. Mr. Burnham was a
member of Canton Crescent, Moose
River Encampment, Caledonia Lodge, l.
O. 0. F., Olive Branch Lodge, No. 4,

stant attendant at its services. The
funeral was held at his home on Bios
som street, Tuesday afternoon, at 2.3O

here to attend the funeral. Mr.. Burnham
was man who bore his sufferings with
patience, kind and thoughtful hus-
band and father, and man ever faithful
to his duties. The beautiful pillows.
wreaths and bouquets of flowers from
the order and friends testified to the es-
TEEN in which he was held.

History has repeated itself and Ut
tered it's repetition in an edition de
luxe
Perhaps no gathering of earnest men
ever was held in the United States
which discussed matters of more vital
Importance than this convention at
Memphis the first week in October.
What the convention actually did is
not so important as will be the results
which will flow from the discussions
and resolutions of the body. Inevita-
bly, bound up in the matter is the tic
klish problem Of railroad rate regula-
ton.
We have tried to regulate railroad
rates by statute law. The proposed
deepening Of the river channel is a
step toward rate regulation by natural
law. For many years the railroads
have enjoyed practical monopoly Of
the interior traffic. Railroads belong to
individuals or combinations of tndivid-
uals. Rivers belong to the people in
common. There can be no private snap
river trust. The experience Of the past
has proved that steamboats, can trans
port goods at freight rate much low
er than the railroads exact. BY Deep
ening the river channels so that vessels
Of adequate size may navigate the nat
ural arteries Of inland commerce the
people Of the United States will intro
duce competition where monopoly now
rules. That is the sweetest kernel of
the exceedingly large and luscious nut

to establish communication between

to establish communication between
the camps.
There are bear in plenty in all the
swamps of that region, and only a
short time ago a negro hunter killed
400 pound animal after following the
trail only an hour.
The scene of the hunt consists, out
side of the settlements, of virgin for
ests, with white oak, pin oak and mag
nol1a trees, and of immense canebrakes,
the whole interlaced with bayous and
dotted with little lakes. The forests
are more or less open, with little under
brush, and it is possible for a horse
man to ride at considerable speed
through them without Inconvenience.
But the canebrakes are as dense as
a tropical jungle. The canes grow to
a height Of twenty-five or thirty feet
and are close together. A hunter can
penetrate tiAs close wall Of vegetation
only by welding a sharp knife or
machete constantly, cutting room for
himself at every step. Wild animals
and dogs can work their way through
slowly close to the ground, and it is
said a pack Of hounds in full cry not
more than hundred yards away
sounds in the brake as if miles dis
tant.
When Mr.. Roosevelt goes into camp
he lays aside the presidential dignity
and everybody is on an equal footing.
He becomes ''colonel'' to everybody,
and as only intimate friends are in the
party there are no "misters."

Relief of Conqested Traffic.

ntltei VI OOnyeSleQ IrdTIC.
But even more important in it's i'm
mediate uses is the relief of congested
traffic which the improvement of the
river promises. An authority no less
than James J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad and chief de-
veloper of the northwest, has estimat-
ed that $5OOO,OOO,OOO will be required
to improve and develop the railroad
systems of the country to the point
now demanded for handling the trans
portation business as it should be han
died. The waterways experts contend
that by the expenditure of something
like $3O0,O00,0O0 the rivers can be put
into condition for relieving the situa-
ton. This includes, of course, a canal
mere and there to connect natural wa
terways, in addition to the deepening
of river channels.
We are spending approximately that
amount on the construction of the Pan
ANA canal. With that project complet-
ed, the need Of navigable river chan

Steamboating was in it's vigorous
prime. The toot of the stern wheeler's
whistle resounded along the shores of
a score of streams tributary to the
Mississippi, the father of them all.
Practically all long distance traffic in
the interior was carried on by water.
None save the boldest dreamed that
the day would come when the shrek
of the land going locomotive would
make the steamers toot sound like the
vail Of a lost soul.
That day came, and the rivers went
out Of business. What a facetiOus
person said concerning the Missouri
river dozen years ago, when the gov
eminent finally abandoned all further
improvement of it's channel, was appli-
cable to all the Mississippi valley
streams:
1.-THE Missouri has been hung up on
the fence to dry"
To be sure, there was more or less
river traffic remaining, but increasing
ly less from year to year. The rail.
roads had the call. Two streaks OF
steel running here and there and yon
der across country at the will of the
builders had put the silver ribbons OF
water out Of the reckoning.
