MONTPELIER CREAMERY
Leverich & Burrell Have Renewed the
Lease on the Plant--Have Hope of
Being Able to Increase Output.

The firm of Leverich & Burreli

conditions justify it. Until the
present date, according to the state
M1ent of Messers. Burrell q Lever
ich, no profits have accrued TO the
firm as 3 result of their operation
Of this plant. They have been
assured by many of the farmers,
however, that the cream output
would be increased in the near
future and they have decided to
continue their efforts TO build up
the industry for period longer.
1t Is largely an interest In the
community and the creamery in
dustry that lmpells them to con-
tinue on this work. IL the cream

management of this firm there il

judgment prompts them AMI they
have the business experience which
enables them to apply up-to-date
progl essive business msthols to
their operation of the plant.
The creamery is now receiving
practically all of the cream that
Is produced in this valley. Thii
is not sufficient, however, to make

Washington dispatch.
Phosphoric acid il an essential
constituent of productive soil.
Work at agricultural experiment
stations is Wisconsin, Ohio and
Illinois has shown that in fifty-four
years the cultivated soils of those
states have been depleted of one
third of their original content Of
phosphoric acid, or at an annual
rate of about 90 pounds per acre.
Eyen if the loss has been only one
half this amount 1t would require
5000, 100 tons Of phosphate rocl

talk of suit by the contractors as
a "huge joke" for the reason that
SO many provisions Of the contract
had been violated that no attorney
on earth would be able to draw
complaint strong enough to constl-
tute a cause of action against the
city. 1t is quite evident that the
officials are not worrying in the
least about the result of the suit,
should one ever be filed.
The attention of the council was
called to the fact that the time for
which the six free arc lights were
to be furnished the city under the
provisions OF the franchise granted
to the old Slusser Light Co. would
expire Jan. l, 1909. The question
as to whether these lights should be
continued at the rate now being
paid for the other lights, or discon-
tinned was discussed at some length
but action was deferred until the
next meeting of the council.
As the city's light bill is now
something like $3.50 a month, tht
sentiment of the council seemed tc
be that the ''dear people" would
} have to get along without those sil
street lights hereafter.

methods of use.
at Is generally realized that a
certain proportion Of land must
always be used for forest growth,
just as for other crops. Christmas
trees are one form of this crop.
There is no more reason for an
outcry against using land to grow
Christmas trees than TO grow
flowers"

Christmas tree custom, but recog-
nizes at the same time, that the

failed ingoriously in their task,
! The first day of the flight of the

icend because of mechanical difficult
ties, before they were well under
way.
/ Wilbur Wright made three sensa-
tional flights and Curtiss made one
brief, though successful spin of
thirty seconds duration. Baldwin,
with his dirigible. landed in the
Hudson river less than an hour after
the start, while Tomlinson, after re-
naming in the air from 1896 until
1870, came to earth near White
! Plains, n. Y, twenty-five miles from
! his starting point. Neither of the dir
igible pilots was injured, nor was
! either craft seriously damaged.

were turned toward Governors is
land, where the aeroplane flights
were held, and toward Fulton Flight
square at One Hundred and Nine
teenth street and Riverside drive,
the starting point of the New York

Curtiss was first to leave earth,
and at a time when dawn had hard
ily broken. He spent the night on
/ Governors Island, and at Z o'clock
rose. but only for a brief flight.
Two hours later Wright made his
first ascent, encircling Governors
island and remaining in the air for
six minutes and thirty seconds, at
tanning a speed estimated at fifty
miles an hour, with glorious sweeT
out over the bay passing entirely
around the great emblem of liberty
on Bedloe's island to the northwest
Not content with these spectacular
features, Wright made another
flight at $50 in the evening before

that time had assembled on the is
land, attracted by the news of hi
early ascent.
He did not attempt to fly owe,

great height, but executed two com

commented on the ease with whicl

Wright's action in circling tn
