1t is the understanding in Burling-
ton that the announcement that C.
H. Darling is a candidate for reap
pointment as collector of customs for
the district of Vermont has brought
out the fact that Joseph Aud, editor
of the Burlington News, desires the
office. 1t has long been in the air
that at some future time John L..
Southwick, editor of the Burlington
Free Press, would ask for the appoint
ment, and the intimation comes now
that, while he was disposed to see
Judge Darling reappointed as mat
ter of course, he will file his candi-
dacy with the Vermont delegation at
Washington if Mr.. Aud insists upon
making a contest.

At a special village meeting held
at Enosburg Falls Monday a resolu-
ton providing for the exemption of
the Enosburg Falls Milk Company
from taxation for a period of nine
years beginning September ! last, was
rejected by vote OF '127 to SO. Many
reasons are advanced for this action
but the principal cause was probably
the recent experience in which so
many farmers and others were heavy
losers, when the Federal Packing
Company which opened it's plant in
September, 1908, being exempted
from taxation for a term of years
closed it's factory February TO- 1909,
having become insolvent.

According to the report of Peter
Brosseau, overseer of the poor, there
is more restitution in the city of Rut-
land at the present time than there
was one year ago. The number If
inmates at the city farm is not very
much larger than usual but Mr.. Bros
seau says that those there now will
he there all winter. There are at
present % people at the farm and of
this number seven are children. 1t
is unusual for so many children to
be there but it has been found al
most impossible to place them in
homes, either public or private and
as a result they are on the hands CT
the city. Seven children from Rut
land have been placed in homes this
fall by the overseer most of them 60

ton. There is practically no sickness
at the present time among the inmates

he will make headquarters July IA to

Witten, land these cover all parts of
the United States, Canada and Mex

between now and the beginning of
registration. Many of the inquiries
are from eastern and southern states,
with the bulk from the middle-western
and northwestern and Pacific states.
This is the first occasion on which
the government has thrown more
than one reservation at a time.
Probably the chief reason for this
is that the lands are so far west the
government has decided to run them
OFF simultaneously so that eastern peo-
pie who intend to apply could regis

Mr.. Ryger has had charge of the co

about twelve years, and during that
time has given it and has made for
himself a reputation more than state.

to dairy practice, his promotion to
this responsible position by the Re,
gents of Education, is certainly well
deserved, and is not only an honor
to Grant county but is a credit to the

election was entirely outside any pol.
