WANT TAFT 10
 INSPECT LANDS ANOTHER EFFORT BEING MADE BY SUPPORTERS OF DRAINAGE PROJECT l\ THIS STATE
DIR. CALDWELL WRITES
To President Smith. oi st. Louis Com. mercial Body Urging Him to
 Use His Influence.

Another effort is being made by the commercial bodies of Arkansas and Memphians to bring about a change of the intinerary of President Taft so as to bring him through the tow lands of the Mississippi Valley, and possibly interest him in the great movement. to reclaim the lands in this section of the country through taries of commercial bodies through out the state of Arkansas are writing letters to James K Smith, president of the Business Mems League of St Louis, who has the presidents south ern trip ill hand, and urging him to use his personal influence to induce the fsident to travel by rail from CapC Grardpau to Memphis.
 Dr. J. L. Caldwell secretary of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade. has ad- dressed the following letter to President Smith with that end in view. Among other things Secretary Cald- we'll says:
 For several years have attended the various conventions held ill the interest of the darinage of the low lands of the Lower Mississippi Valley and have specially conferred at Wash ington with the Reclamation Depart ment, concerning certain surveys for drainage in the lower Arkansas Val ley. l therefore address you for the purpose of asking you to make an in the president s itinerary as will enable him to see with his own eyes the vastness and richness of the lands which only need proper drainage to secure food producing and health establishing area, which. for equal acreage, cannot be equalled any where on the globe. These lands can be drained at much less cost than is entailed by the irrigation of arid lands in the northwest.
 Why cannot it be arranged for the president to travel by rail from Cape Girardeau to Memphis? When he saw the benefits of irrigation in the northwest he immediately became an ardent supporter of reclamation by irrigation Could he but see the lands in Eastern Arkansas I am sure would have in him an ardent friend of our drainage projects.
 No oi . LII ulS- tricts in this immediate territory X14ch will promote the cultivation and hPalthfulness of about 25O,OO0 acres Of low landsy But we need compre- hensive plss soverins the whole area below Cape Girardeau, and the United States Government alone can pro- perly formulate and economically foster the plan. Please do your best to secure such change in the presi- dents route to Memphis as will se- cure his personally coming in touch with our drainage problem and it's pro- mise Of addinn hntnld ~o,1+h +o +bo

A Winter Thanksgiving.
Vermont Association of Boston to Have New
Feature to Annual Dinner.

An innovation is to be tried this yeat
by the Vermont Association of Boston
for its annual dinner, which has been
fixed for Thursday, Jan. 6. Instead OF
being served at hotel, it will be given
in the form of Vermont Thanksgiving
dinner at Mechanics Building, and both
Paul Revere and Talbot Halls will be
utilized. There will be turkeys from
Vermont, and, following the established
custom of the Green Mountain state,
they will be carved at the tables. These
will be arranged about the halls with
ten seated at each, so that it will serve
as an especially pleasant reunion of
former fellow-townsmen or school
mates. The guests will include the
governors of Vermont and Massachu-
sets.

VERMONT NEWS
A Revised Form of Committing People t.
Insane Asylum Adopted.


At a recent conference in Montpelier be
tween DR.. Don D. Grout, superintendent
of the insane at Waterbury, and Judge F
E. Alfred. OF Newport, q uniform blank Of
commitment of inmates to the asylum
was agreed on. The legislature at the
recent session directed a commission to
prepare and print uniform probate
blanks. This commission which was
composed of Probate judges Alfred and
Bingham, of Burlington, and A. F.
Shwenk, of Brattleboro, also prepared
commitment blanks tor use in cases
where persons were sent to the asylum.
Section 10 requires that commitment
blanks shall be prepared by the trustees
of the asylum, and the trustees and gov
ernor requested DR.. Grout to prepare
these blanks. In order to relieve a com
pick situation the conference was
arranged between DR.. Grout and Judge
Alfred in Montpelier and a form was
agreed to which will be accepted by the
trustees and printed and such other
forms in use will be destroyed or not
issued. The blanks will conform to the
decision OF the supreme court The dis
patches from Bennington state that the
probate judge there has not and will not
sign any of the blanks, since neither the
statute nor the Supreme Court decision
empowers him to take any such course
The selection OF the physicians for the ex-
animation of person alleged to be in
sane land dangerous" Gas must here
after be specified in the citations is to
be made by relatives, or in the case of
town charges. by the overseer. Brattle-
boro physicians were suggested by DR..
Lawton. The statement by the physi-
clans is the evidence upon which the
court acts This is the view taken of the
situation by the probate judge there and
it is also the opinion OF legal counsel
that the town authorities will not be
responsible for the keeping of the State
charges as has been stated ust how |
soon action will be taken for the COM |
mitment of patients from Bennington
probate district is not known but it can |
be safely said that the fees for the exami-
nation of the 20 or more patients will
not be paid to Brattleboro physicians.
Damages by Deer Paid.
Three counties in Vermont did not
draw any deer damage money from the
state, according to the figures just conf
piled by State Fish and Game Commits
sioner H. G. Thomas, but Windsor and
Bennington counties brought the total
up so we'll that there was an average
expenditure of $3.50 per county during
the year Essex, Grand Isle and Orleans
were the non-assessing counties. Wind
'or drew a total of $1,692.32 for dam
age and costs, the latter being the war
lens expenses for adjusting damages.
Bennington came next, with an assess
nent OF 81, 127.71.
The tabulation by counties is as fol-
