STATE FOREST SERVICE
Forester HAYES Will Spend Week In
Bennington County.

After the recent conference of the
State foresters of the Northeastern
United States at New York City
where II became evident that Yer
mont was among the states into
which pine disease had been import
ed on pine seedlings. A vigorous plan
of action was Immediately put into
operation. Three students of the
University of Vermont are now in
speeding all the pine plantations that
have been made with this German
stock imported by the State Nursey
at the Experiment Station and while
little evidence of the disease has
been found, all the currants and
gooseberries near these plantations
have been destroyed, as the disease
can only spread by means of these
plants. The authorities of the u. S.
Dept. of Agriculture believe that with
this extreme treatment the disease
will be speedily wiped out.
While this inspection work makes
an unexpected drain upon the fores-
try appropriation the regular work of
the service has not been interrupted.
This consists during the summer of
the investigation of the forest condi-
tions of the State and the advising
private owners regarding the manage
ment of their tract. Two students
of the Yale Forest School are now
making special examination of the
serious burns of last year with a
view of recommending a more effici-
ent execution of the present law as
well as any desirable changes in the
law
In this connection the State fores-
ter has just appointed fire wardens
in the unorganized towns of Essex
Co., as authorized by the laws of
1906.
TIE interest in better forest man
agement has grown so rapidly and
the demands for a personal inspec-
ton of lands are so numerous that
the State forester is obliged to group
his visits in variouso parts of the
State so as to save time in travel
This will also accommodate the land
owners, for whereas they are ordi-
narily charged travelling expenses to
and from Burlington. they will during
the periods mentioned below only be
charged expenses from the center
nearest them. Applications may be
addressed to A. F. Halves, State for
ester, Burlington. VT, at any time or
at one of these centers at the time

FALLS INTO CHANNEL AGAIN
Latham's Aeroplane Drops into Water
Two Miles From Dover


Dover, July 2S.-Hubert Latham,
the French Aviator, yesterday made a
second unsuccessful effort to fly
across the English channel, this time
attempting to go as far as London.
He fell into the channel two miles
from Dover but was picked up by a
British warship and brought safely in
to port.
Latham's fight, to the moment of
it's sensational finish, eclipsed in some
respects that made by Louis Bleriot
on Sunday He made greater speed,
being only twenty minutes in the air
from the time he left the coast of
France Apparently he steered a
straignter course than Bleriot as he
was making directly for Dover when
he fell.

A BIGoTED RESOLUTION.

According 10 the Idaho Daily States
man the real estate association at
Payette, Idaho, has passed resolutions
protesting against the appointment of
a Church member To the office of COM
missioner Of Immigration, on the plea
that the commissioner il not fres from
any dominating church influence may
locate people and colonies in one To-
cality to the detrimeut OF others
The probability is that some of the
members OF the association favor
someone else, and. I'm order 20 secure
his appointment. are seeking 20 preju-
dice the minds OF the Governor and
legislators against others. But this
mixing OF religious considerations with
secular affairs should be condemned by
an who are Jealous OF the preservation
OF American ideals. No one. ana a.
real estate association least of ALL
should be permitted TO raise the Ques-
ton of religion I'm connection with
political or civil affairs. No one should
be recommended for any official POSI-
tlon because Of religion, and no one
should be turned down on religious
grounds Americans who have not yet
learned this fundamental truth are but
poorly equipped for tho duties of
American citizenship.
We can hardly believe the governor
OF Idaho, or the Legislators. viii pay
any attention to a bigoted resolution
of that kind IL is essential 20 the
maintenance Of good feelings between

mittcd 20 prevail.

fiected in a number OF amendments
: to the constitution and bylaws OF

morning The amendments provide
for the inclusion in the association OF
chiefs of telephone systems. and pro-
vide that the objects OF the associa-
ton shall include the study Of all cleo
trical equipment.
These changes have been prepared
by the executive committee and were
adopted as presented. Much OF the
business OF the convention will deal
with telephone and electrical appar-
atus other than the telegraph.

PLUM BEERS STAND
FOR OPEN SHOP"
Plan Establishment of Labor Bu-
reaus To Escape Graft and
Trade Abuses"

A definite stand In favor OF the
open shop" was taken by the Nation
al Association OF Master Plumbers in
their morning session In the Light
Guard armory. Wednesday After the
reading OF an address prepared by ID.
Il. Durkin. Jr., OF Philadelphia, and
delivered by w. II. Doyle. the conv en-
ton adopted a resolution calling for
the establishment OF local labor bu-
reaus In each large city or district
these bureaus TO register all classes
OF labor used by plumbers from stem
ographers and bookkeepers TO appren
tees.
There was no opposition TO the res
olution, the master plumbers evident
ly being prepared to join with many
other organizations OF employers in
refusing TO recognize unions among
their workingmen. The address was
couched in strong terms II declared
that the Philadelphia plumbers mad
turned to the labor bureau as a meth
cd of securing efficient help and TO
10 escape graft and trade abuses. The
new system had worked well, it stat
ed. and would prove a benefit in other
cities.
I'VE do not discriminate against a
union man," asserted Mr.. Durkin. I'VE
register them all alike. All are class
flied In our card index. We found
that paid business agent OF our own
was just as liable TO graft as the bus
mess agent OF a union. and SO we
dropped that plan of handling labor
matters. Now we are not subject TO
dictation or graft and every workman
feels inclined to work for a good rec
ord. because poor plumber cannot
leave one place and draw a good man S
wages with another employer for two
or three weeks before his worthless
ness is found out Every man gets
just what is coming TO him."
The sentiment of the convention
seems to be in favor of the election
OF Walter Nolan, OF Washington, ID.
c., as president. although there will
be contest over the vice presidency.
Chicago seems to have the 1910 con-
vention pinned and soldered down.
In spite of the intense heat in the
armory. the master plumbers stuck
TO their posts and the several papers
were attentively received. A punch
bowl presided over by two colored
men at the rear of the hall helped 10
spread contentment The ladies OF
the convention enjoyed an automobile
ride Wednesday morning, being TAX
en- around the boulevard to Water
Works park and Belle Isle. where
