Peck's saw mill, scattering the load of
ties and fragments OF the bicycle over a

by Charles Phelps, returning from his
work at Russel's mill and was making
good time but he had evidently forgotten
to get a clearance order on the special
He jumped in time to escape injury and

convenient clump OF bushes. The train

EX-GOY. c. ]. Bell.

In the death of Ex-Gov. c. J. Bell Of
Walden this county and the state as a
whole loses one of its best and most ia
vorably known citizens. For many
years his acquaintance has been state
wide and everywhere he was known he
had friends. He leaves behind an honor
able political career. AS state senator,
railroad commissioner, member OF the
board of agriculture, secretary of the
board of cattle commissioners, and as
Governor of Vermont he gave to the
state valuable and unselhsh service, and
to his honor be it said that he resorted
to no questionable means to secure the
positions. He has asked the people for
many honors which they gave him and
has laid them down untainted. In this
record, in his clear judgment, in the firm
ness of his convictions and in his untir
ing devotion to duty his life will stand as
a strong example of real Vermonter.
1t is however in the grange that c. J.
Bell has his greatest monument. He be-
came connected with it in its early his
tory in the state and ever since has
worked persistently for its growth and
influence. His work here was not con-
fined to the state but is known to gran
see rich rewards for his labors in the
grange but in the continued prosperity
of that organization a greater reward
awaits those who were associated with
him in this work and who are left be-
hind. 1t seems a fitting close that his
last work was for the grange which he
held so dear and which in turn loved
him.

"The flag of freedom is unfurled up here -
Awe came on men, and then a mighty cheer
Swept round the green earth and the white

For him who had set heel on all mems fear
And from two arctic nights was forging

Then fell another word, "a lie A lie!

but an attempt at this time to incur a
big debt in building trunk lines of road
over the state would probably meet with
failure.
"As the News has previously suggest
ed, if the next Legislature takes mod
crate course, valuable progress towards
the desired end will undoubtedly be at
tanned. II the Legislature were to pro-
vide for laying out the proposed routes
for permanent roads and for the expend-
ing of the permanent road fund under
direct state supervision in one cohtinu-
Gus strip of road for two years, we
should then have a practical demonstra-
ton of the worth of such highways and
begin to understand how really valuable
they are for the interests of everyone.
After such an object lesson the good
roads problem would soon be solved"
The manner in which the good road
project is being freely discussed by the
press ought to suffice to prevent any
serious mistake from being made by the
next Legislature in this connection.
Every one who has valuable ideas in
connection with this subject is freely in
vited to present the same for consdera-
ton by the public, and when the law
makers get together to formulate new
legislation on the subject, it will not be
necessary for them to thresh over the
whole matter as though it had never
been presented to them before and they
will be able to save valuable time.
There are other questions likely to
come before the next Legislature which
should be as freely discussed as is the
project to secure improved highways,
and it is to be hoped that the habit may
become contagious.-[ Burlington Free

Farmers of Vermont should profit by
the statement OF James Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, that there has been a
decrease of 2.1S7,0OO cattle in this
country during the past two years and
that during the last nine months exports
of cattle have fallen off 100000. With
the number of cattle decreasing and tn e
number of people in the cities increasing
there should be good opportunity to
increase the production of dual purpose
cattle right here at home.

That American railroads have been
aiming at high speed rather than the
safety of their passengers is evidenced by
the statement from the Bureau OF Rail
way statistics that American railways
pay two and one half percent of their
gross earnings for damages and injuries,
while ten years ago they paid only one
per cent, English roads pay less than
three-tourths of one per cent for these
causes. These figures indicate that it
would pay to be safe for while now.

ROBBINS SAYS HE
IS NOT GUILTY

Hood River, Ore, June 29.-George
Robbins, held by the Hood River
authorities in connection with the
mysterious murder Saturday night of
Mrs. Emeline Castro on the ranch of
William Robbins, in whose employ
she had been as housekeeper for
about four months, is having his pre-
liminary hearing this afternoon.
Though having been subjected to
rigorous examination at the county
Jail, where he has been kept in SOL
itary confinement since his incarcer-
alton Monday morning, young Rob-
bins this afternoon steadfastly main
tanned his innocence.
The hearing was commenced at 10
o'clock this morning before Justice
Buck. The witnesses examined in the
morning were william Robbins, faith
err of the suspected man; Mrs. Nor
der, who received the telephone mes
sage which called the old man away
from home when the murder was
committed Constable Ganger, who
arrested Robbins in Portland; Mrs.
Anderson, who swore that she met
the prisoner in the grove adjacent to
the house where the murder was COM
mitted; Enoch Brayford, proprietor
of the Rockford store where the tele-
phone message is supposed to have
been sent; George Clark, a young
man whom Constable Ganger says
Robbins told him he owed money to.
The only damaging evidence against
Robbins was that of Mrs. Anderson,
who swore that she positively met
the suspected man in the grove, and
that he tipped his hat to her, and
that the time was o'clock. Young
Clark denied the statement that Rob-
bins owed him money.
During the morning hearing, the
prisoner was apparently unmoved and
held frequent whispering conversa-
tlons with his attorneys. The court
room was crowded. A large number
