Not Called to Dartmouth.

The Dartmouth trustees deny the re-
port sent from California that the presi-
dency of Dartmouth College has been
offered to our Vermont friend, DR.. George
ii. Gates, the former president of Pomo-
ma College. The dispatch was shown to
the chairman of the committee of trus-
tees, Gen. Frank S. Streeter of Concord.
N H. who authorized this statement:
"A dispatch has been called to the at
tentlon OF the trustees. They are entire
y at loss to understand it's origin, for
there areno grounds whatever for any of
the statements contained therein so far
as they have reference to the presidency
OF Dartmouth College"

Mormon Proselyting.

A small party of Mormons are now in
Vermont on proselyting tour. and they
propose to follow the example of the
Salvation Army in the larger centers OF
population and hold outdoor meetings.
So long as they do not teach plurality
of wives, which Vermont frowns upon to
the extent of furnishing the offenders,
there can be little to hinder them unless
it be an Unborn suspicion of the religion
for what it used to hold as one of it's
prerogatives. 1t is more than probable,
however, that their efforts will be more
or less in vain, for Vermonters are not
apt to take their religion in any but the
recognized church prescription. The
fact that Royalton is somewhat of
Mormon shrine because of it's being
the birthplace of Joseph Smith, the
founder of the religion. may make it
desirable from the Mormon standpoint
to secure many converts in the state,
about whom the religion may center and
then diverge; but Mormonism is bound
to be of small consequence in Vermont,
even as it is in the country at large

PRESS COMMENT.
A New Athletic Venture.

At a recent meeting of the Dartmouth
College athletic council it was voted to
bar freshmen from varsity athletic
teams. The purpose Of this new venture
is described in a few words by E. K.
Hall, (St. ]. A. '88) one of the prime
movers in the effort to get the $15O,000
gymnasium in that college.
He says, I'm my judgment it will give
us, with the help of the new gym,
much better opportunity to develop
untried material through the freshman
coaching, and we shall be able to put
men on the varsity teams whose capa-
city we shall know through a years
trial. Again, we shall not leave unde-
yeloped lot Of mediocre men whom we
must let go now through lack of time,
and among whom there are, as often as
not, some fellows who, with a little
special attention, we could make over
into trst-eass athletes"

Veteran Railroad Worker.

Joseph w. Drew. who died at Spring
field, Mass, Thursday, was born in Lyn-
don March 2, 1926, and will be remem-
bered by some of the older residents
about here. He was the son of Samuel
and Mary Drew, his father being one of
the old fighting Yankees of 1912, who.
as privateer, passed nine months in
Dartmoor prison after being captured by
the British. In 1945 Mr.. Drew took up
railroading on the Concord railroad in
New Hampshire, working in the freight
house, and part of the time as brake
man on trains between Boston and Con-
cord. In 1850 he worked on the Con
cord, Boston and Maine railroad as
freight conductor for three years, and
then went into New York state and
worked at track laying for a couple of
years.
Tie returned to New Hampshire and,
with Benjamin Bailey, took the contract
to lay the track of the White Mountain
railroad from Woodsville to Littleton.
With Bailey & Hopkins, in 1856, he con-
tracted to lay so miles of track on the
Port Hope, Linsey and Beaverton rail
road in upper Canada, and two years
later contracted for 35 miles of the Pas.
sumpic railroad in Vermont.
At the close OF the war Mr.. Drew To-
Gated in Boston, securing position with
the Old Colony road as division road
master, remaining with them for 81
years or until his retirement about seven
years ago. When he retired, as a mark
OF appreciation for his long services with
the Old Colony, he was given liberal
pension and retained as a consulting ex.
pert on road building.

athletic ideas in colleges with a purpose
of developing to the best advantage all

bringing out and developing this raw
material. While the rule NAV in certain

Big Shipment of Iron Ore.
Twelve Trains Daily Weighed on Fair

|
banks Scales.
The Duluth, Mimi, News Tribune oil
April %, contained an interesting news
item which has decidedly local flavor
as all the 100000 tons of ore which
have arrived at tide water were weighed
on Fairbanks scales, some of which have
seen constant service in this capacity
for many years. The despatch 10 the
News Tribune is from Hibbing, Mimi,
and here follows:
If the month of April is any indication
OF the ore shipping season OF 1909, the
| total shipment for the season will run
several million tons higher than the
season of 1908.
The Great Northern is now shipping
from Kelley Lake FIVE trains of ore per
day from the Mahoning, Stevenson,
Laura and other independent mines in
the Hibbing district. The total ship
ments by the Great Northern last year in
April were about 10000 tons, while the
shipments up to May l this year will
exceed 100000 tons. The Mahoning
mine, the biggest in the world, is now
loading 200 cars per day, whereas last
year it shipped practically no ore before
June 10.
The Duluth, Missabe G. Northern rail
road is shipping from the Mitchell yards
at Hibbing II trains OF iron ore per day, |
and the total shipments for April will be
in excess Of 100000 tons, against ship
ments for April of last year that were an
almost negligible quantity.
The Oliver Iron Mining company, the
mining arm of the United States Steel
corporation, is shipping ore from all of
its shafts and stock piles, but is not
making much effort as vet from its big
open pits. Two shovels are at work in
the mammoth Hull-R Rust pit, one in the
Burt and one in the Morris. With the
coming OF the boats additional shovels
will undoubtedly be put to work in each
Of these pits and shipping will also begin
from all other pits.

New Publications.

The literature of the Lake ChampIain
celebration is increasing and aside from
Hon. Horace w. Bailey's most useful
booklet two publications have appeared
of permanent value.
The first was % page folder issued
Jointly by the two state commissions
and the three railroads that directly
reach the lake. This unpretentious
booklet is profusely illustrated and the
subject matter is a compendium of the
history of the great events that have &C.
Cured on the lake since Samuel de Cham
plain first sighted it 800 years ago. The
folder was designed and printed by the
Matthews Northrop establishment of
Buffalo and contains with all its other
information a good map of the lake and
its contiguous territory.
The educational department of the
state of New York has prepared a sump-
tuous booklet of 80 pages to be distri-
buted throughout that state. The cover
bears colored design of the lake from
Mount Defiance and the frontispiece, also
in colors, represents an Indian in his
canoe watching one of those incompar-
able sunsets on the lake. The book is
beautifully Illustrated and the map is the
finest one of the lake that we have ever
seen.
The subjects treated in the publication
are Lake Champlain Tercentenarv, by
the New York commissioner of educa.
ton; Organization and plans of the
Lake Champlain Tercentenary Commits.
sion;" observance by the Schools of
New York. complete list of works on

The contents include Henry Theodore

"Ticonderoga," Not the least valuable
feature OF the publications. a chronology
