Monument for Juniper Island.

The Vermont Champlain Tercentenary
commission, which met in Montpelier
Tuesday OF last week, authorized the New
York commission to sell the barges that
were used for the Indian pageant at Bur
lington and to remit Vermont's share of
the proceeds. These barges are owned
jointly by the Vermont and New York
commissions and after they were used in
Burlington were taken to the Hudson
river where they were used in the Fulton
celebration, and whers they now are. 1t
is expected Vermont will net about 81 200
from the sale Of these barges.
Horace w. Bailey, chairman OF the
committee on the legislative report, re-
signed from that committee because OF
his health. The resignation was accepted
with regret and DR.. John M. Thomas and
A. +. Stone were appointed consulting
members OF this subcommittee. The
original committee is composed OF L. NJ.
Hayes and Walter II. Crockett.
There being no probability OF joint &C.
tion with the New York commission on
the erection Of monument to Cham
plain, the Vermont commission discussed
the erection Of a monument at Juniper
island. II will be necessary to obtain
permission OF the U. S. government to
place II there, as that island is the proper
~ OF the government. 1t was thought
by some members Of the commission that
such permission could net only be easily
obtained but also that the government
might be induced to lay out a park on
this island, which contains about 20
acres, to be known as Champlain park.
The commission now has on hand
about s14, 700 and all bills to date paid.
The commission will make full report
to the legislature of 1910 in book form of
all the tercentenary celebrations held in
Vermont last summer with the addresses
made at these celebrations.

Elizabeth was-necessary to his hap

4 Business Prospects In St. Johnsbury
The st. Johnsbury Caledonian has
summed up approximately the volume OF
/ business done among the wholesale
manufacturing concerns OF that place ~
follows:-
There are produced yearly 1900 car
loads of scales, receiving and sending out
40, 900 tons OF freight from the Fairbanks
plant, with yearly payroll OF 5000, 900.
st. Johnsbury sends out each year fifty
carloads OF hoes and forks; machinery
and tools, 20 carloads, yearly value of
$780, 900 and payroll of S17,50O; one
thousand carloads OF lumber; one hun
dred and sixty thousand dollars worth of
crackers and confectionery; handles $500
carloads Of grain, valued at about ~, 000s
600; does a wholesale business in gro
ceries of 1876, 900; handles IS carloads Of
agricultural implements and fertilizers;
consumes 10000 tons OF coal; has the
largest maple sugar market in the world,
doing business OF q, ZOO, 900 yearly.
1t is the largest livestock market in
northern New England, dealers there
valued at 1887, $3.50, divided as follows:

These figures do not mention the retail
