ONCE oUARRYlNe soAPsToNE
Thriving Industry May Take On New
Life,

Life.
The people of Vermont at large have
no knowledge of what is being done
in the quarrymg of soapstone and the
people of this vicinity know but very
little of what is being done at their
very doors. The older generation
knows that for many years soapstone
was quarried near Cambridgeport but
many are ignorant of the fact that
stone is still being quarrled with finan-
cial success yet some of the finest
soapstone in the world is being taken
from the hill south and west of Cam
bridgeport.
There are two quarries, the Good
rich and the Smith, near together and
located three miles from Cambridge
port and two miles from Grafton. Both
quarries were opened over IS years
ago, and for many years were Oper-
ated successfully. The rough stone
used to be sent down country by boat
until the river navigation was discon-
tinued on the Connecticut. For many
years the blocks were sawed in the
old mill at Cambridgeport and the
stone sent TO Boston to be turned into
the finished product.
Some ten or twelve years ago oper.
atoms at the mill and quarry were sus
pended and nothing was done until
two years ago when the Union Soap
stone company of Boston which oper
ates quarry in Chester and has a fin.
ishing plant there leased the Goodrich
quarry and it has been taking stone
therefrOm since
Two four horse teams come from
Chester every morning making the
trip by way of Grafton, Sl2 miles and
returning by way of Cambridgeport
IA miles. These teams each draw
daily from four to seven tons of stone
to the finishing plant in Chester. II
is said that this stone costs in the
vicinity of $l2 a ton delivered in Ches
ter and that from so to 100 tons are
drawn each week At the quarry Jas
Brown Of Athens is the foreman il
charge and he has ten men doing the
quarrying. Something like $50 tons
OF huge blocks of stone are scattered
about the quarry ready to be loaded
and drawn to Chester Plans for op
Grating the quarry on a more exten
sive scale are already being made.
The Smith quarry formerly owned
and operated by the late Benjamin
Smith Of Saxton's River, is not beinl
worked at the present time. Abou
10 tons Of blocks are already quarriet
and the quarry is easy of access. |

ducts continues it does not seem pos
sible that this property will be idl,
much longer. If the proper amount 0
capital could be interested and a fin

an important new industry would b.
established

The st. Adams Messenger is once
more back on its native heath. The
first issue didn't look much like the
Messenger of old but each day here
after will show Improvement and in
the not far distant future the paper
will be itself again. The Messenger,
with its plant wrecked by fire, never
missed an issue but maintained that
tradition of the newspaper business
which is, that no matter what happens
the dates of publication must be
maintained. When a merchant is
burned out he closes his store while
new stock can be obtained, when a
factory burns down operations are
suspended until new or another
building can be secured, but the daily
newspaper goes to its readers without
interruption.

LEARY-WILLlAMs EPISODE
AmicabIe Explanation Made on Floor
of the House.

The incident is now closed between
the member from Newport, Judge
Williams and the member from Bur
lfhgton, Mr. Leary. Both arose to
the question of personal privilege on
the floor OF the House Monday after
noon during discussion on the license
| commission bill. or the Hitchcock
amendment to the Tilden bill, says the
Montpelier Argus.
The other day Mr.. Leary charged
unfair treatment to his amendment
on the part of Mr. Williams, who was
in the chair The charge was made
after adjournment. 1t all turned out
TO be mistake, and both Mr. Williams
and Mr.. Leary are now better friends
than ever.
Mr. Williams began by saying that
there was an understanding between
himself and the member from Burling
ton on the matter, but he thought il
was only fair to all members of the
House to know ii, since the matter
had been grossly misrepresented in
certain sections of the press
He explained how he came to be in
the chair during the discussion last
week on the State license commission
bill. When he reached the chair he
found the amendment. 1t was In sew
eral sections. He supposed II was to
be taken up by sections, and proceed
ed on those lines. He didn't intend
to be unfair to the member from Bur
lington and appreciates now that the
matter should have been treated as
one amendment which 1t was, and he
so explained afterwards to the mem
Der from Burlington, and that they
now understood each other. The irony
OF the whole situation he said was
that he had no opportunity until this
time to explain the matter. Instead
of being opposed to the Leary amend
ment he didn't know but it was a
| good one. He wasn't entirely salts
| fled with the present law He was
sorry for the occurrence which was
unintentiOnal and without any thought
to be unfair to the member from Bur
| lingtOn or any member of the house.
Mr.. Leary responded to the state
ment OF Mr.. Williams and was equal
ly as gracious in his reply. The night
following the affair he had talk with
Mr.. Williams and the matter was ex-
planned so that he was entirely salts
fed that Mr. Williams had no intent
of being unfair and that what had oc-
Cured was likely to happen to any
chairman. He was satisfied that II
was an honest mistake

cation is printed in another column,
dealing with the subject of gun IL
censes says the Burlington Free

he emphasizes the unquestioned fact
that ten cent fee would make us
the laughing stock of the country.

THE BOIL WEEVIL
Second Report of Crop Pest Commits
sion of Experiments at Mansura.

The second report of series which
|are to be given publicity through the
anxiety by the growers of cotton il
this section. The first report appeared
in the Caucasian about two weeks since
and was appreciated at its fullest In
the second report Mr.. Newell gives the
emergence of the weevil up to April 20
1t is not encouraging, but what the cot
ton growers want to know is what the
emergence has been since the last re-
port. Is it decreasing Or increasing? A
report every ten days at this times does
not relieve the tension. If the cotton
growers could anticipate or were ad
vised as to how severe the invasion may
be as the days are reckoned, they could
prepare to meet it. Here follows the
second report of the series:
EXPERIMENTS AT MANSURA.
Baton Rouge, April 26.-The Crop
Pest Commission today announced the
results up to date of its experiments
being made at Mansura in studying the
Information of the boil weevil and the
emergence of the weevils from their
winter quarters.
Of the 1921 weevils which were con-
fined in cages last fall, 1866 or 1923 per
cent had emerged from their winter
quarters up to and including April 20.
A few figures taken at random from the
records compiled to April 20 show a
much larger survival of weevils from
cages started late in the fall than in
those which were started early. For
example, the cage which was started on
December Fl and which contained
weevils collected in cotton fields where
the plants were allowed to stand until
December 81, had produced by April 20
80 per cent of the original number of
weevils confined. Of the weevils con-
fined in cages on November 80 showed
a survival and emcrgence of 2I.5 per
cent by April 20, while the cage which
was started on November showed a
survival of $50 per cent. The cages
which were started in October and
which show the percentage of weevils
surviving the winter when cotton plants
are destroyed at different dates in Oc-
tOber show thuS far q much smaller SIR
vival Of the weevils confined in the
cage on October 10 T..3 per cent, and
those confined October 26, 100 per cent
The foregoing report is one of Sc
ries which is being given to the public
every ten days in compliance with the
requests of many farmers who wish to
know how the experiment is coming
out and what percentage of the weevils
have survived the winter in central
Louisiana.

THE NEXT CENSUS
Louisiana Will Have Six Supervisors
and Nine Hundred Enumeratorss

The Times Democrats Washington
special states that Louisiana will have
six supervisors of the census and about
nine hundred enumerators. The num-
Der of supervisors is certain, and the
approximation of the number of enun-
orators is believed by the census office
to be correct.
The supervisors will be appointed by
the President. Appointments will be
made as soon as the census bill is
passed, which will be in few days.
The enumerators will be recommended
by the supervisors, and the appointments
will be made by the director of the CEN
sus.
The compensation of the supervisor
will be $500 for the two or three
months work required of him, and, in
addition, he will receive 81 per thousand
of population enumerated. In some
cases the compensation will run up
pretty high. There will be total of 32S
supervisors in the country
1t is estimated that the total number
of enumerators will reach 10000. No
examination will be required of the
enumerators, but they will be compelled
to fill out schedule of questions de-
signed to bring out the fact of their
qualifications for the work.
Enumerators will be compensated at
the rate of from to cents per name.
In towns of less than 5000 the rate will
be above that figure, the biggest being
paid in sparsely settled sections of the
country One census supervisor will be
appointed for each congressional dis
trict.
Enumerators will be given from April
IS to May IS, 1910, in which to complete
the work of numbering the inhabitants
of their districts The supervisors will
be in office much longer All reports
will be made to them by the enumer-
ators, and these will then be forwarded
to Washington.
1t is the intention of the Census Btu
reau to bring to Washington the super
visors from Virginia, Maryland and
other nearby States and instruct them
in the methods to be followed in doing
their work. These will then be sent into
various sections of the country to in
struct other supervisors.
