Washington Letter.
(From our regular correspondent

(From our regular correspondent
Washington, d. G. Mar. %, 1907.
The future course of railroad de-
velopnent depends largely on what
the president shall say. And as yet
the president has said nothing,
largely because he has not yet made
up his mind. Nearly every one of
the callers who have been to the
White House has come away with a
different Interpretation of the Pres
ident's utterances. He has there
fore decided to say nothing more
that is likely to get to the public
through the papers till he can make
a broad statement in his own way
that may be misinterpreted in some
quarters but that cannot be mis-
quoted. Therefore be will take oc-
casion at some time in the near fut-
ure when he is to make a public
address to explain his views up to
date on the railroad question.
There will be two cpportune occa-
sions next month, the opening speech
at the jamestown Exposition, and
the unwilling of the Lawton monu-
ment in the middle states. There
will be another and nearer occasion
at the dedication of the Rough
Riders Monument at Arlington on
April IL, when the President may
choose to say something on the rail-
road question that will be remem-
bered.
Until he does speak officially it is
hardly worth while to attribute
views to him, hut this much may be
said confde ntly, that the President
is no more the enemy OF fhe railroads
than he is of any other industrial en-
terprise. The Interstate Commerce
Commission has, under his direc-
ton and the direction of Congress,
unearthed an amazing amount of
rottenness and discrimination. This
will be prosecuted through the reg
ular channel of the Department of
Justice without fear or favor. The
question whether or not there will
be additional railway legislation
called for at the next session of the
Congress will depend largely on
whether or not the present laws
prove adequate in dealing with the
case. That is about as much as can
safely be said now But that the
railroads realize that the President
is not their enemy is shown by the
unamity with which they are turn
ing to federal control as a protec-
ton against hostile state legislation.
They feel that they will be a good
deal safer if one legislature deals
with them than if they are left to
none too tender mercies of 46 legis-
latures, and while they may not
have quite as free hand as former
ly in making huge fortunes out of
railroad looting under the guise of
high finance, they know that they
will get a square deal from the ad-
ministration, and this Is a good deal
more than they can be certain of
from some of the states.

FPssd' are coming INTO camp in fear

That Vermont is to have better
highways is indicated by the general
outcome of the new highway law, as
it is set forth in Section 8 of Act No.
8 of last year, by which $50, 900 was
appropriated to be given the towns
if they would vote an equal amount,
which has been very satisfactory.
There was in the minds of some a
doubt as to the towns waking up to
their privilege. With two days more
to affect it which made little change
in the general result, I'll towns have
taken advantage of the act, and, un-
der it have raised, in round num-
bers, $45, 900.
Franklin county is the banner
county SO far reported, every town
except one having voted the special
sum. This gives the state 500, 900
worth of permanent highways in adj
dition TO the regular per cent. re-
quired by previous law, which will
raise another 100000.

The organization of the West
River Valley Lumbermen's Associa-
ton has already resulted in bringing
forth promises from the railroad
company that the lumbermen shall
have better freight service on the
West River division. But the OK
ecutive committee do not intend to
be put off with promises, and have
decided to ask the state board of
railroad commissioners to investi-
gate the complaints and to compel a
better service.
The association claims there is
$250,O0O worth of lumber at the va
rious stations on the road that is
waiting for shipment. If the price
of lumber should begin to decline
there would be some buzzing that
would resemble nest of hornets,
only worse.

parently for the express purpose of
accompanying her home on the train
which he did, and walked to the
house with her from the station,
much against her wishes. After re-
naming in the house for some time,
Mrs. Niles decided to go to a
eighbor's house across the road
where her mother was. She left the
house with her father. Asa Lamb,
and was followe d by Mr.. Niles.
Just as she stepped onto the side
walk extending to the edge of the
road, he drew a revolver and at
close range shot a bullet through
the back of her neck. Her father
carried his daughters body into the
house and DR.. c. L. Erwin was
