5000. This highway tax has In former
years been paid In October, but under the
workings of the new law the bills can
not be paid until the county supervisors
have approved of all the work done in
the several towns in the state and certi-
fed the same to the State highway COM
mission. It is probable that so long as
the present law is In force this highway
money will not be paid until the month
of December instead of In october as 1t

State.
The interest for the past six months
on the registered loan due In 1910, amount

to the University OF Vermont at Bur-

To meet these heavy bills State Treas

temporary loans of 1925 100, These loans
are In anticipation of taxes. After March
/ next the income Of the State treasury
will enable the treasurer to take up these
loans and have an abundance of money
| with which to pay running expenses.
This heavy business during tho month
J of December has been done through the
Capital Savings Bank & Trust company
of Montpelier and the First National
bank Of Boston. The orders of the State
auditor are payable at either Of these
banks. The State highway tax has all
been paid through the First National

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE

what They Think of Western
Canada.

What They Think of Western
Canada
A party Of editors from a number
of cities and towns of Minnesota re-
Gently made a tour of Western Canada.
they are nov telling in their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion Of the Min
nesota editors from Winnipeg to the
Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring
to what has happened in the interval
the writer says: Thousands Of miles
Of new railway lines have been built,
and the development Of the country
has made marvellous strides. Millions
of acres, then lying in their wild and
untouched state, have since been trans
ferred into grain fields. Towns have
sprung up as If by the wand OF a
magician, and their development is now
In full progress. 1t is a revelation. a
record Of conquest by settlement that
Is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader characterizes
Western Canada as "a great country
undeveloped. The summer outing" 1t
says, was an eye-opener TO every mem
Der OF the party, even those who were
on the excursion through Western Can
ada ten years ago, over considerable
of the territory covered this year, being
amazed at the progress and advance
ment made In that short space of time.
The time will come when Western Can
ada will be the bread basket OF the
world. 1t was a delightful outing
through a great country OF wonderful
possibilities and resources"
Since the visit Of these editors the
government has revised its land regula-
lions and ii is now possible TO secure
100 acres OF wheat land at So an acre
in addition to the 100 acres that may.
be homestoaded.
The crops of 1908 have been SPLEEN
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone. Saskatchewan, there
are reported yields Of thirty bushels ~
spring wheat to the acre, while the
average is about twenty bushels. The
quantity Of grain to be shipped from
this point will be abont 100000 bushels.
Information regarding free lands and
transportation will be freely given by
the Canadian government agents.

The happiest man in New York to-
day is Adam Brede, chef in a lunch

A Kindly Misfortune.

bank Endorsed a check for 500 for a
friend about two months ago. Later
the check came back protested and the
young bank employe had to make the
amount good. He was very much bro
ken up over the matter.
We'll" he said TO his wife. "IlI have
to make up that 500. i won't smoke
another cigar until the amount / would
have spent for tobacco equals the
amount / have lost in this transaction"
He cut smoking out entirely. The 9TH
er day the father OF his friend paid the
800. Now the young bank employee
and his wife are happy. He has the

money, and he has no desire to use to-
bacco any more.
