ADDISON COUNTY COURT.

At the close of our last report the first
criminal case of the term, that of State
VS.. Henry Grow, a Bridport youth
charged with burglary in the day time,
was on.trial. Upon the completion of the
testimony Thursday afternoon Crow
withdrew his former plea of not guilty
and entered plea of guilty. Judge
Miles gave the young man some good
advice and also a sentence to the State
Industrial School at Vergennes for the
remainder of his minority, which is about
two years.
The next case up was that of State VS..
Fred Curran and Leon Culver of East
Middlebury, joint indictment for grand
larceny in the stealing of a blanket from
a wagon in Middlebury village a few
weeks ago. The offense by statute, with
out regard to the value of the property
appropriated, is made equivalent to
grand larceny. Ira II. LaFleur of Mid
B. Donoway of Middlebury defended
Culver. The case went to the jury Fri
day afternoon and Saturday forenoon
| they came in with a verdict that Curran
was guilty, but the foreman reported
that they had been unable to agree as to
Culver. They were discharged from
| further consideration of the case and
sentence in Curran's case was deferred.
1t is understood that the jury in Culver's
case stood eleven for acquittal to one for
conviction.
Friday afternoon the case of State vs..
Harry Yattaw of Vergennes, charged on
information with furnishing liquor con-
trary to law, was called on and a Jury
was empaneled. So many of the jurors
had gone home that three talesmen had
to be called on from the crowd in the
court room. Saturday forenoon Yattaw
Withdrew his plea of not guilty, pleaded
guilty, and was given the mild dose of
not more than three months and ten days
| House of Correction. This respondent
also got some good advice from Judge
Miles. along with his sentence. F. w.
futile of Vergennes represented Yattaw.
Saturday forenoon Matte Ryder of
BroOksville withdrew a former plea of
not guilty to a charge of adultery and
pleaded guilty. At the suggestion of her
counsel, Ira H. LaFleur, which was con-
CURED in by States Attorney Russell,
sentence deferred and the matter put in
the hands of probation officer Olin A.
Smith for investigation.
At II O'Clock Saturday forenoon a
recess was taken until 2 o'clock on next
Monday afternoon, Jan. 20, as Judge
Miles was scheduled to open the Grand
Isle county court at North Hero ON Tues
day this week.
There are two or three important
civil jury cases and several more criminal
cases awaiting to be considered when the
court resumes work. u

AUTOMOBILE TOPICS.

We notice that bill has been or is to
be introduced into Congress providing
for Government registration of automo-
biles. In anticipation that the automo.
bilists would attempt measure of this
kind, an editorial appeared in the Regis,
ter of June Z, 1907, from which we quote
the following:
"There Is project which the automo.
bilists OF the country are said to have in
mind that is interesting and important.
1t Is that the federal government shall
issue all automobile licenses. The OBJ
Ject OF introducing this system is to en-.
able tourists to make long trips without
the bother of having to procure fresh
license when they pass from one state to
another. This proposal is 80 utterly i'm.
practicable as to be simply absurd
lake the matter of the licenses and the
ices; how shall that be arranged ? Would
the government issue one license pood in
all the statesf No doubt this is the idea
II 3d. what of the disposal of the fees
would they be retained by the national
government That would be LAYING ar
internal revenue tax upon every rod n,
highway where an automobile went 7,
the ices are not to be SO retained bow
could they be distributed to the no;nts

A Savings Bank which
Never Lost a Dollar
OH a Poor Note.

The VergenDes Enterprise and Yer
monter thinks that the good luck the
Hyde Park Savings Bank has had in
placing its loans is due to the policies
OF this Bank in investing its money\ai
home. 1t says: \
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company of which Carroll S. Page i.
president passed the million dollar mark in
its assets July IL. This bank however ha:
never lost a dollar on poor note and makes
all its investments in Vermont. This fact NAV
be one OF the secrets of success Of this 6nan.
cial institution. 1t has been noticed before
that everything that ex-governor Page is inter-
ested in is successful.
Commencing January 1908 this Bank
will pay four per cent compounded
semi-annually on all deposits large and
small alike; will pay taxes con all sums
up to $1,000 and will issue pass-books
with no limits as to times of withdrawal
or other restrictions or limitations save
those common to all Vermont Savings
Banks. Deposits made on or before Feb.
10th will draw interest from Jan LIST.
those after Feb. 18th from April LIST.

FRIDAY, JANUARY II. 1908.

We mail to-day copy of The Register
to every member of Congress with
marked article showing the progress
which has been made at the Government
Morgan Horse Farm at Weybridge, near
Middlebury, Vt.
All Vermonters would be pleased if
every member and the families of mem
bers, might visit our small but beautifully
situated State, embracing Mountain,
Lake, River, Hill and Valley.
This combination of scenery includes
not only the Green Mountain range,
which extends north and south through
the central part of the State, but also the
whole of the Adirondack group of noun
tains at the west and the equally splen-
did and even higher Appalachian or
White Mountain group in New Hamp,
shire. To the north of us lie the beauti-
full and fertile plains of the st. Lawrence,
with few mountains thrown in, con-
tinuation of the Green Mountain Range.
In Vermont for lake scenery we have
the historic Lake Champlain, exquisitely
diversified with islands and superbly
beautiful near and distant views at its
northern end.
The railroad route that passes through
Grand Isle County, VT, into Canada,
cannot be excelled anywhere for its
scenic effects, and also the route by
Burlington and st. Adams through st.
Johns to Montreal is very fine.
The routes, too, are very picturesque
which ascend the Connecticut River to
the beautiful village of st. Johnsbury or
diverge into the White Mountains.
Whoever visits the Government Nor
gan Horse Farm at Weybridge, we feel
sure, will be pleased with its great beauty
of situation, excellent farming land
although largely diversified with forest,
and the opportunities which it presents
as central point. for the encouragement
OF every kind of agriculture, whether
garden, farm, or forest, in New England
or the great bordering State of New
York.

which were Of light weight and low rate
of speed. 1t may still be true of the
slow moving. solid tire delivery van and
the small runabout. But it is coming
to be recognized as fact, both in this
country and in Europe, that such is not
the case, at present, with vast number
of automobiles. These immense ma
chimes which are becoming common
everywhere; which often weigh several
tons; which can distance almost any
railway train, are found to be very de-
structive of the highway. 1t is discov-
cred that the pneumatic tires yield and
conform to the inequalities of the road,
form vacuum and apply a suction
which tears all the lighter material from
the surface and send it flying in clouds
of grit and dust from the roadway.
More than this, very many of there pom
derous cars are equipped with steel
chains, designed to prevent Slowing
which cut and grind the road as nothing
else does that passes over it. Beyond all
question, the greatest destroyers of our
highways today are these huge and swift
automobiles which, to a very large ex.
tent, are owned and run by people who
do not contribute one penny to make
good the wear and waste they cause.
In many particulars the interests of the
general public and the wishes or enjoy
ment of the automobiles are not in har
mony. In the long run the matter Of
actual cost will not be the least impor.
tant factor in settling the differences
now at issue. We predict that whei
once it becomes clearly understood tc
what extent the Automobiles are bur
den upon the taxpayer. who has bull
and who must maintain our highways
the former will be made to pay for al
they get, or, what is even more likely t.
happen, be made to provide their owl
