slightly affected by the panic condi
tons which have seen become so Sc
rious. Yet they reveal even for last
year such sinister spectacle of a
fall in the reward of labor measured
by what wages would buy.
1t is true that wages rose 81 per
cent. above 1906, and the hours of la

of living, measured by actual pur-

1t is sadly apparent what a similar
inquiry for 1908 will leveal A com
mendable effort has been made to
keep wages at their level, or TO re-
store them after brief cuts, but an
average covering many industries
would show a decline. The percent
age of unemployed has been very
high and remains disquietingly so.

The above jail was built under the
supervision of Ira Brainerd of Barnet.
1t went into disuse when the one at St.
Johnsbury was built and when the
North Congregational church at st.
Johnsbury was erected, the old Jail was
demolished and the material used in the
foundation of the church. 1t was Gus
tomary for the committee or grand
jury, when called upon to inspect the
jail regularly to report it as insufficient,
as a measure Of relief to the jailor if any
prisoner should escape. 1t was ordered
by the court in 1888 that a picket
post" fence should be built around the
Jail, and, accordingly, a solid fence OF
plank was built about 10 or II feet high
each plank sharpened to point at the
top.
The Court House was built in St.
Johnsbury in 1856 and the first Jail
building was probably erected at a
later period. The second jail building
was erected in 1867 and had for its
first occupant Gardiner Brown OF
Lunenburg The CALIFORNIAN files OF
the years between 1856 and 1868 con-
tain brief references to several Jail de-
deliveries so it is fair to assume that in
the early days it was quite easy to
escape from durance vile. The old
building which has served the county
for 40 years will be used for a barn and
the big iron doors kept as souvenir OF
Jail architecture of half a century ago.
