 Carve Dat Possum; Carve Him to de Heart although tht impression has gained ground since the Atlanta din. her of last winter that the president was fond of possum meat, today was only the third time he has eaten it. Although enjoying the novelty of the dish, Mir. Taft has admitted to his nest intimate friends that he does not altogether "hanyer' after it as a steady article of diet.
 Leaving Cairo today, Postmaster General Hitchcock and Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, who has made the trip from St. Louis to this point on the steamer Erastus Wells, joined the president on the Oleander. They also were guests of the governors at dinner tonight Secretary of War Dickinson will join the presidents party at Memphis tomorrow.
 The president arose before day. light to keep his appointment at Cape Girardeau. It was his earliest speech of the trip and he declared he rather enjoyed the novelty of speaking to the rising sun. The president said ne also enjoyed the novelty at at Cape Girardeau of being escorted to the speaking stand by man larger than himself, attributing that distlnc. ton to Eugene Regennarut, chairman of the reception committee, who was the presidents superior in height and almost if not quite his equal in breadth. He has sons named for Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt. Whenever the presidents boat passed today point of the river near a settlement the banks were lined with people, who shouted a greetins to him over the waters.
 The zig zas course taken by tn, Oleander in following the channel which leads from one side of the river to the other, often took President Taft within speaking distance of those gathered on the banks. Shouts from small groups, who were up late last night to see the fleet pass by, seemed almost to come from the very decks of the presidents boat. Flights of wild ducks and geese frightened from the river bars by the passing boats were an interesting feature of the day Two boats of the dotilla, the St. Paul and Erastus Wells touched sand Dars last night but slid over them with but little delay.
 Passing the congressional boat, which it was stated in St. Louis had been provided with nine poker President Taft today called out to Speaker Cannon on the hurricane deck: If you catch anybody bluff. ing. Uncle Joe. take the money"
 President Taft was introduced here by Governor Wilson, who extended him hearty welcome to the stare. The presidents voice was still in very bad shape and he spoke but lit. tie moro than two minutes. Mr. Taft declared that Kentucky was as deeply interested as any state in the sub ject of deep waterways and he hoped that much good to this cause would be done by the present trip down the Mississippi. The president said that although his voice had failed, ne was in the land of oratory, was sur rounded by orators, and the audience should not be disappointed.
 After the ceremonies of welcome at the river bank as the president de parted he was presented with a big Kentucky possum and a barrel oi ducks.

E. Taylor, postmaster at Brattleboro,
gave an address of welcome on behalf OF
the town. Pres. H. W. Spooner of Yer
gennes made fitting resi- onse and gave
a stimulating address.
Good roads was the topic tor the
second session when State Highway
Commissioner c. w. Gates of Franklin
told the assembled carriers of the COM
prehensive policy in road building which
ne was working out, giving due atten-
ton to the needs of the rural carriers as
well as to the multitude of automobiles.
In the evening session J. c. Carpenter OF
lrasburg made report on the last
national convention, which he attended
as delegate, and the remainder of the
evening was taken up by practical
questions asked by the carriers and
answered by Post Office Inspector W.
W. Sawyer of Burlington. Mr. Sawyer
also gave an address in the sessions
Thursday morning.
Congressman Plurnley spoke on the
work ofCongress, especially of the work
OF the ways and means committee. He
spoke particularly on the income tax
question, expressing his belief in the ex-
pediency of Congress passing such legis-
lation as to allow the government, in
time of especial need when ordinary
sources of revenue proved insufficient, to
avail itself of the opportunity to raise
money througha properly graded income
tax. He declared that the income tax
system was anti-socialistic in its ten
dency.
The closing session Thursday after
noon was given up to a business session.
Officers were elected as follows, all being

gennes; vice pres, ]. M. Carpenter of St.

PRESS COMMENT.
Our Scenery Our Best Asset

c. S. Gleed, former Morrrisville boy,
now largely identified with newspaper
and railroad interests in Kansas made a
neat little speech at the press banquet in
Newport last week. He disagreed with
the man who said that Vermont was
principally noted for her maple sugar,
Morgan horses and fine women. Mr.
Gleed believes that Vermont's greatest
natural assets are her unrivalled scenery
and the conservatism and executive
ability of her people. The scenery is
something that born and bred Yer
monters realize but imperfectly, the con-
servatism is sometimes shaken, but the
executive ability of Vermont's expatriate
sons has been amply demonstrated in
the positions of trust which they fill in
every state in the Union. Intelligent,
persistent, liberal publicity will earn US
dividends on our scenery, and fine con-
servatism, not too strict as to be hide
bound, but safe, steady and reliable as
the sunrise over our great peaks, will
continue to produce the men which the
outside world is still finding may be
depended on Rutland Herald.

To Meet in Burlington.

The Vermont State Teachers associa-
ton will hold its annual meeting in Bur
lington, October 21-23, inclusive. An ef-
fort was made by the Burlington Com
mercial club to get the association to
come to Burlington this year and it has
been successful. The club committee on
arrangements has secured the Strong
theatre for the night of the 21st aud the
First Church for the following evening.
Just what use will be made of these
buildings by the association is not vet
determined, but Ernest O. Howe of Ran
dolph, who is chairman of the executive
committee of the association, will prob
ably make public the program before
long.
The business meetings of the associa-
ton will he held at the high school build
ing. 1t was expected that Governor
Hughes of New York would address the
members of the association on the even
ing of the Dist, but the attempt to get
him proved unsuccessful. However,
some lecturer, or other person of prom
inence, will be secured

An Interesting Old Letter.

The following letter written by James
K. Colby many years ago to Hon. E. +.
Walton of Montpelier contains much in
teresting information concerning the
public schools at St. Johnsbury at that
time.

The death of B. G. Howe removes a
citizen who believed so thoroughly in
St. Johnsbury's future that he dared to
risk his all to promote its development.
Hardly had the smoke faded away from
the embers of the old Avenue House be-
fore he saw a new hotel, a beautiful
opera house and a reconstructed series Of
business blocks for Railroad street.
Though possessed oflittle capital he had
New England grit which attracted cap
ital to his enterprises and his monument
is the costly pile of brick aud the blocks
that are built around the corner of East
ern avenue and Railroad street. These
remain as testimonial to his enterprise
and are a lasting credit and asset to the
community.

Forest Study Plots.
Yours truly,
]. X. COLBY.

The science of silviculture which is the
foundation for the business of forestry
is so new in this country that it is
practically an unexplored field. The
American forester In prescribing treat.
ment for a certain kind of forest, Is
obliged to rely very largely upon the
experience of European foresters, an ex.
perience which has been gained in forests
quite different from ours.
The practicing physician can very soon
get the result of his medicines and profit
thereby, but the development of forests
is such that number of years are re-
quired to test any form of management.
One of the most important lines of
work for the state forest service is,
therefore, to establish series of expert
ments in different parts of the state,
which shall bear light on the proper
management of our various kinds of
forests.
In the matter of plantations for
example, there is not only a call for
experiments with different species, but
with different distances of spacing.
Shall we plant the sand plains of the
Champlain Valley with pines eight feet
apart as advocated by some, six feet as
| advocated at present by the state
forester, or three feet as In many parts
| of Germany?
Even more numerous are the problems
connected with the proper management
and harvesting of our forests. The
movement for the better management is
slow in growing. 1t is desirable that by
the time 1t Is well under way we shall
have definite knowledge to act upon,
just as the engineer who builds bridge.
Can we provide for an adequate reseed-
ing of our land by having three or four
seed trees to the acre or should there be
moref Does it matter whether these
trees are above or below the area to be
seeded on slope; or to the cast or west
OF it on level placer If we have under
an old forest of hardwoods lot of little
spruce or pine that have been growing
very slowly, will these recover their
! growing capacity when the hardwoods
are cut or are they stunted beyond hope?
These are only samples of the innumer-
able problems which must be worked out
before American Forestry is on a basis
such as exists in Europe.
To help solve some of these problems
the State Forest Service in cooperation
with the Experiment Station, is estab-
fishing a series of permanent sample
plots, each bearing on some particular
+ problem. These will be established on
private lands wherever some particular
ly interesting problems suggest them
selves, and where the owners are willing
to guarantee that they will not be dis
turbed during FIVE years, providing they
retain ownership. Any land owners
who have woodlands offering opportu-
mites of this kind, can do much for the
advancement of forest knowledge in Yer
mont by cooperating with A. F. Halves.
State Forester, of Burlington in the es.
tablishing of such permanent study plots.

Morgan Horses at State Fair.
Biggest Showing Promised of Any Yet
Seen in New England.

Breeders of Morgan horses in other
States, who have obtained their founda-
ton stock in Vermont, are to show their
horses at the State fair at White River
Junction, September 81, o. % and "a.
Among these Morgan horse breeders
who have notified the State fair commits
sion of their intention to be present are
Joseph c. Brunk of Rochester, Illinois,
who will bring carload of Morgans,
some OF them winners at the st. Louis
Exposition of 1904, and A. R. Van Tassel
of Dubois, Pa, who will bring Bob Nor
gan, perhaps as famous Morgan sire
as any now living, with number of his
sons and daughters. 1t is also expected
that the famous Bayside Farm of Roch-
ester, New York, will bring number of
well known Morgans.
The struggle for supremacy at this
great show of Morgan horses, between
breeders from outside of Vermont and
the breeders of this State, will be well
worth seeing, as the Morgan horse men
of Vermont will be out in greater force
and numbers than year ago.
An automobile trip, by an admirer and
friend of the Morgan horse, has just
been made among breeders of Vermont,
which disclosed the fact that all were
engaged in polishing up their horses for
the State fair. All Morgan admirers who
attended the fair last year will be there
again, and many new exhibitor will be
added to the ranks next September. A
conservative estimate places the entry of
Morgans at the next State fair at twice
what it was last year, and it is believed
that the revival of the greatest breed of
horses the United States has ever pro-
duced will be assured by the great ex-
hibit which will be given at the State
fair.
There is rumor current that the Nor
gan breeders will get together during the
fair and form Morgan Horse club, for
the purpose of advancing the interests
Of the breed.

A Visit to the "KnOb."

| went up to the Knob" yesterday
for the first time this year. The "Boy
Vandals" are still at work and it is only
question Of short time before this
interesting point will be without a
shelter.
1t surely seems almost incredible
why any one should wantonly destroy
the building there, but they are not
satisfied with tearing down what is on
the ground level, but they have COM
menced to tear off the hard pine sheath
ing overhead. The telescope rest is
entirely out of commission, the table in
the center is partially broken up and
there is not single sheathing board left
of the break wind on the ground floor.
They do not apparently carry any of
the lumber away but just knock off the
boards and let them stay right on the
ground, where they fall.
1t seems to me to be an act of pure un-
dulterated cussedness.
