In circular to subscribers under date
Of June |, in which ii admits poor ser
vice. the Vermont Telephone Co. an
nouuces It's purpose to install more
modern type Of switchboard and tele-
phone equipment in Barre and Mont
peIier. This proposed change the com
pany says win cost 100000. "and," To
quote from this official circular, with
the expectation Of providing sufficient
reserve to warrant The installation Of
the improved system within q reasonable
time, the directors Of the company have
authorized certain changes and readiust-
nents in the company's service charges
in the Montpelier and Barre exchanges
to take effect July ], 1909"
These proposed changes are the elimi-
nation Of free service between Barre and
Montpelier to all subscribers, except to
one and two-party lines, and the impo-
sition Of scent toll for each call
The only conclusion to be drawn is
that telephone users in the two cities
are to be assessed to help furnish capital
for Improvements to be made sometime
later. Although the readiustment Of
charges takes effect July l. no time il
given when the improvements will be
made--it may be within six months and
il may be six years.

Our Vanishing Timber Supply


When the adventurous naviga-
tors of three or four centuries ago
skirted the coasts and entered
the bays and rivers of this cOun-
try, they were impressed with the
extent and variety of the forests
which everywhere spread their
rich mantle over the country. And
well they might be; for the orig
inal forests of the United States
exceeded in the quantity and va
riety of their timber the forests
of any other region Of similar
size on the globe. Nature was la
wish when she laid out and plant
ed the five great forests of this
country and lavish she was when
she planned its noble water
courses. smoothed out TIE vast
arabic lands of its prairies and
wide-spreading valleys, and store
below the surface its priceless
wealth of iron ore, coal, oil, and
precious minerals. Where Ma
ture had been so prodignal of
her supplies, it was perhaps in
evitable that man should become
equally prodigal in their use and
no doubt the extravaganza and
wastefulness which have become
a national characteristic. are due
largely to natural environment.
OF all the natural resources OF
the country, our forests have beer
one of the worst, if not che worst
sufferers from extravaganza; anC
this is proved by the simple fact
that we use Cor waste ten times
as much timber per capita as they
do in France, and are, consequent
ly, cutting our forests three time.
as fast as they are growing. Tn,
original forests of the United
States include five great fOres
types. The Northern forest reacI
ed from Maine through New En-
gland, New York, and Pennsylva
mia, to Georgia, and throug.
central and Northern Michigal
and Wisconsin to Minnesota, an.
covered about 100000 900 acre

original extent was at least no.
000,00 0 acres was covered with
the most majestic growth of con
ferrous trees in the world.
Much has been said and writ
ten of late about the destruction
of our forest, and one Of the la
test and most Illuminating pam
phets on the subject is that by
r. S. Kellogg, Assistant Forester
in the Forest Service OF the De-
partment of Agriculture, who tell
us that, whereas, at a cOnserva-
tive estimate, the five great for
ests of the United States covered
originally $50 100000 acres and
contained 5000 billion feet Of tim.
Der, at the present time their to-
tai area has been reduced to
sos, 100000 acres, containing less
than one-half as much standing
timber than they did in their yir-
gin state.
The total yearly drain upon oul
%forets, not counting losses from
fire, storms, and insects is esti-
mated to be about 20,000,000,00C
cubic feet. OF our present forest
area of 550,000,0 900 acres, 100000,
600 acres are roughly estimated t

A RUN OF HARD
LUCK

William Meyer, the 21 year old son
of John Meyer of Langola, place a
few miles from Royalton, underwent
an operation at the local hospital
yesterday morning In an effort to save
his life. Some ten weeks ago, the

and separator from swamp, suddenly
swinging around, striking him on this
member. Little hopes are held for his
recovery.
Since last April this family has been
very unfortunate. First 25 head of
blooded stock died; then 18 head Of
horses took sick, but were saved in
June Alice, the five year old child,
was kicked in the head, later being
taken i'll with pneumonia; next the
baby died, and Mrs. Meyers found it
necessary to undergo an operation !;
following this Joseph, 18 years
of age, became Iii with an attack Of
typhoid fever, and had hardly re-
covered when his brother Anton had
his right arm broken. This was
quickly followed by the accident to

fortune is to be.

GLOVER SEED ELEVATOR
Minneapolis Firm to Erect
One at this Point
Next Year

That the big seed houses are COM
menclng to realize the Importance of
the clover raising branch Of the
agricultural and dairying industries of
this county, was proved last Satur-
day, when Minneapolis seed house,
for which Chas Van Hercke Of
this city IS their representative
in this county, sent him a telephone
message telling him that it was the
intention of the company to erect a
clover seed elevator in this county and
asking him at which place to locate
same. He Immediately answered that
Little Falls was the center Of the
clover-raising district. and the best
place IN every way for such an
elevator to be erected. He advised
them not to build this year, however,
as practically all the buying had been
completed for the season. The
elevator will be a steel constructed
one, as the risk that would be run In
erecting a wooden one would be too
great, as were mouse to gnaw a
hole in 1t the seed would pour out
like water. It is expected that the
erection OF tho clover seed elevator
will be commenced next summer so
as to be completed in time for next
falls crop. What the capacity of the
elevator will be is not known as yet.
