VOTERS SELF DISFRSNCHISED.

The extent to which voters in effect
disfranchise themselves by remaining
away from the polls when important Of
fees and issues are involved in an cleo
ton, is being made the subject of earn
est discussion in different parts of the
state. If the average man We're to be
informed that he would not be allowed
to vote he would drop every other inter-
est, no matter how important it might
be to vindcate his right of citizenship
and establish his privilege of suffrage,
In Burlington as well as elsewhere there
are hundreds of men, however, who per-
sistenty and in some instances habtual-
ly refuse to vote. Others allow the most
trivial matters to keep from them from
voting, while stll others have good rea-
sons for their absence from the voting
booths. The records show that of the A.

MILK AND TUBERCULOSIS

1t is not many years since Vermont was
in the throes of an incipient revolution
because the cattle commissioners were
raiding herds held to be afflicted with tu-
lhrculosis and causing diseased animals
to be slaughtered in accordance with the
those who opposed the work OF the COM
missioners that IT remained to be proved
that human beings are able 10 contract
tuberculosis from milk, and it was urged
that SO long as the animals appeared to
be healthy there was little, if any danger,
to be apprehended from them. For some
complaint in relation to the raids of cattle
commissioners during the past few years,
and people have seemed to be entirely
willing to be separated from their cattle.
In the meantime the bureau of animal
industry of the department of agricul-
ture in Washington has been conducting
an extended investigation of this very
subject of modes of tuberculosis Infection
and the results are instructive as well as
interesting for all concerned which in view
of the extent of the use of dairy products

THE VERMONT-NEw YORK BOUN.

In olden times the eastern boundary Of

the two raises scarcely a ripple on the
surface Of things.

copper property lying about twen- ,y miles eastward from Alamos.
 From the Santo Domingo we went to La Aduana. the town where is the reduction plant of the Onintera mine, and where the workmen make their homes, which town is close at hand and over- looked from the Santo Domingo, as well as from the Quintera. The reduction plant, which is just above the town, across an arroyo, includes a twenty-stamp mill, two Wiltiey concentrating tables, five Frue van ners, and fifty-ton copper smell ter Formerly the furnace was a lead stack, but the ores changed to copper at the depth of 1400 feet, and the process had to be changed. At the time of my visit on January 1st. 1905, the new furnace was in course of installation.
 The shaft of the mine is above the reduction plant, near the crest of the ridge, and Is connected with the mill by an aerial tramway. The lowest working is now at depth of 1850 feet, where the ledge is fifty feet wide. In the two cen turies (nearly) of continuous work ing, only the very richest ores have been extracted and reduced, and there are reported in the mine many thousand tons of second class and low grade ores that would ray to concentrate and smelt upon large scale.
 Beyond the Quintera is the r TO- montorio, another antiglta mine with a great record of production. As the day was drawing towards its close, and Alamos was some distance away, we turned at La Aduana, after looking over the re- duction plant. We should have liked to visit the mine and gone over to the Promontorio. Beyond the latter is an extension a portion of which was sold recently by Dr.. W. R. Henderson of Alamos, to an American company for a goodly price.
 The return to Alamos was made by road direct from La Aduana, and was accomplished in less than an hour.
 At the time of our arrival the prefect of the district, Don Fran cisco A. Salido, whose acquaintance l made at the time of my former visit, was out of town, and did not return for several days. Yesterday he was in his office, and 1 had the pleasure of meeting him again. Don Francisco is a very genial, companionable gentleman, and is very progressive. He has been prefect of the district more than a dozen years, and has been the pro ponent and advocate of many i'm portant improvements that have been adopted. He has been the engineer of several of the most i'm portant irrigation enterprises on the Mayo river, and planned and superintended the construction ol the palacio Court house) and pub lie abbatoir. The gentleman in- formed me that he had finished the plans for two large public school buildings, construction oi which will be commenced in Octo' Der.

To the Democratic Voters of Columbia
County.

l have been urged by many of
my friends throughout the county
to become a candidate for Associ-
ate Judge. basing their reason for
my candidacy upon the fact that I
was a candidate five years ago and
was defeated by less than one hun
dred majority at that time.
The rules of the Democratic par
ty provide that the Office of Asso-
ciate Judge is a two term Office. l
place the success of the party above
my personal advancement and there
fore believe it to be in harmony
with the best interests of the De-
mocracy of Columbia county to ad-
here to the rules.
Judge Krickbaum is now serving
his first term and therefore I am
unable to see my way clear to
break the rules of the party but
believe in enforcing them and Civ
ing the Judge a second term.
Thanking my many friends for
the encouragement and promise of
support | am,
Respectfully,
