Farrant, the florist, is making ex-
tensive changes and repairs on his
greenhouses. The one to the south
has been taken down and a new one, in
shape of a. leanto addition to his
dwelling, has been built. This new
addition will be heated by the same
plant as the other, thus saving fuel to
a large extent.
The Memphremagog Yacht cldb will
suspend operations and close its club

The moving of the Stewart house
and consequent obstruction of the

lage trustees to remark that whoever
moves building through the streets
hereafter will have to sign contract
governing his actions while perform

moved sidewise it occupied nearly the
whole width of Main street and the
public had to execute all sorts of
stunts to get'by it.
The recent fire at st. Johnsbury
with the resulting loss of life suggests
the possibility of such calamity in
our own community. We have a fire
company second to none in towns OF
this size, and our water system will

be made upon it, but while this is as
it should be. it is inadequa tie protection
unless our tall buildings are provided
with fire escapes. placed in the
right positions. While many telephone
and other wires are underground
there are still enough strung overhead
to hamper hook and ladder company

BOY IS USED AS TOOL IN
OSTRICH FEATHER SWlNDLE
Wholesale MiIliners Report to Police
That Forged Order Was Pre-
sented by Youth

A clever sWiudling scheme Was re-
Nealed yesterday when a. BIOdm K CO.
wholesale milincrs, 10S East Eleventh
street, reported to the detectives that
they had been defrauded of four yalu-
able ostrich plunas by means OF a
forged order presented by boy about
15 years Old.
According to their report to the po-
lice, a Well-dressed lad appeared at The
store at o'clock Friday afternoon and
handed to a clerk AN order for two
ostrich plumes. This order bore the
name of Mrs. j. A. Parish, proprietor
of a millinery store at 62l South Broad
day. who is good customer of the
wholesale house.
The clerk, wishing 10 please Mrs
Parish, gave the boy -four plumes and
told him that Mrs Parish could select
the two plumes she wanted The lad
hurried away, and nothing more was
heard of him.
Yesterday the Wholesale firm tele-
nhoned to Mrs Parish and asked her if
she had selected what rlumes She want
ed, and if they were satisfactory Mrs.
Parish replied that she had ordered no
plumes. The order was taken to her
and she pronounced it "a forgery.
The detectives say the lad evidently
is the tool of a clever band of swindlels,
and are exerting themselves in trying
