BLIZZARD IN EAST
THE MOST SEvtRE
OF TWENTY YEARS
Philadelphia Suffers, Too, and
Blockade of Railway Traffic
Is Widespread.

The Christmas blizzard the &C.
verest storm experienced in the
east in 23 years, tied up local traf-
fc this morning in cities from
Pennsylvania to Maine, and dis
arranged train schedules through
out half q dozen states.
Conditions, however, are rapidly
improving and railroads and mu-
inequalities are today bending
every effort to move inter city and
local traffic. There is reason to
believe that conditions will be
normal by Tuesday night, when
another storm is expected from
the west.
A number of persons have met
death through exposure or acct
dent, five in Philadelphia and 10
in New York.
Fifteen deaths are reported in
New England, IL of them through
the wrecking Of the fve-masted
schooner Davis Palmer, off Boston
harbor.
In Philadelphia general business
this morning was practically at a
standstill. All through trains were
late, only one street car line was
running, and the city is suffering
from q shortage of milk.
Washington did not suffer Sc
verely, but communication with
Boston is maintained only with
difficulty. The storm in New Eng
land seems to have been worse in
the vicinity of New Bedford, Prov
!idence, Fall River, Newport, Paw
tucket and Woonsocket.

Grand List Returns for the Year

In the grand list returns for the year
mont, just received at the office of the
Hon. Guy w. Bailey, secretary of state,
Montpelier, in one particular only, two
towns are remiss in that they have not
reported any offsets These towns are
Groton in Caledonia county and Water
vile in Lamoille county.
The totals for the state show 5,24S,-
sos acres of taxable land, with an ap-
praised valuation of Sal 800, 051. The
personal property listed for taxation ag-
pregates $43,s97,747 and the total
Der of polls is 92,57S. These figures as
increase in land valuation of 81 1897 ,104
$527,7S3 In the same period the total
offsets have decreased $360,431 and the
number of polls has increased by S2S.
While personal property has increased
one and two-tenths per cent, offsets have
decreased one and thirteen-hundredths
per cent This argues that listers on a
whole have found more personal estate
and, also, that in the state as whole
tax-dodging through the offset privilege
is decreasing slightly rather than increas-
ing.
Taking the number of polls as COM
pared with the number i'll the last census
year, 1900, as basis for showing the
growth in population since that date,
the present population of the state should
represent an increase over the population
of19OO of six and a half per cent. Such
an increase would give Vermont a pre-
sent population of 366, 149, or an in
crease of % sos since the last census. If
the increase has been as large as this, it
exceeds every ten year increase since the
period between 1920 and 1880, it being
slightly in excess of the growth between
1910 and 1850 1t will be interesting to
see when the results of the census to be
taken next year are known how far the
increase in population approximates the
figure suggested by the increase in polls.
The total grand list of Lamoille county
for the year 1909, by towns, giving the
valuation ofpolls and appraisal of real
and personal property, is as follows:-

PRESS COMMENT
Ex-Gov. Charles ]. Bell
Boston Globel

Boston Globe
There is felt everywhere the sincerest
sympathy for the people of Vermont In
the death of one of their foremost citizens
Elk Gov. Charles ]. Bell.
Boston Record
Ex-Gov. Bell of Vermont was ever q
kindly soul and amiable in manners, des-
pite his intiexibility toward criminals,
and he is lamented by not a few Massa
chusetts men who knew and esteemed
him, and believed Mary Rogers was as
rghtfully executed as any murderer OF
the other sex.
Barre Times
There was nothing of the spectacular
in the life of Elk. Gov. Charles j. Bell OF
Vermont, which was ended so suddenly
in New York City on Saturday. Rather
was it the life of the steady-going New
Highlander, passing from one stage of
action to another with almost mechanical
precision, until it finally reached the
height of chief executive of the state, fol-
lowed by retirement into private life
during the last few years. Governor
Bells carer was that of the middle
class type, guided by more than the aver
age Yankee common sense and actuated
by natural ambition to seek official pre-
ferment among his fellowmen. He was
essentially man of the plain people,
never seeking to be otherwise although
he had been raised to Office of note. 10
all he was the same Charles j. Bell that
people had known years before he at
tanned office. He carried the honors con-
ferre5 on him easily and without osten-
tation, and when it became evident that
he had served his fellowmen long enough
he accepted the situation with phyloso'
phical composure and quietly left the
stage of public life to the more reposeful
realms of the plain citizen. In ali his
career from volunteer citizen in the Civil
War, through various phases of public
life to the position of Governor of Yer
mont and then into retirement, he gave
the best that was in him; and no man
could do more. He leaves no marked
signs to differentiate his record as govern
or from that of the average executive of
Vermont, but those who were privileged
TO know him will bear testimony to his
fidelity to duty, his ruggedness of pur-
pose, his kindly nature and his clean life.

Press Comments on the GovernOrship

Sensibly enough, The ST. Adams Mes
senger urges stop to this talk about
the clothes which the candidates for gov
ernor of Vermont wear, saying:
| LET the candidates clothes alone.
| Let us look to the character and capacity
| of the men themselves. Are they fit =?
Do they deserve? Will they do?"
Really, the clothes don't make the
governor of Vermont.-Barre Times.
"At last we have the spectacle of Fred
erick G. Fleetwood running Generally
he pleads not guilty to the athletic exer-
ton. barre Times.
Yes, and he is leading by several laps
in the race for the governorship prize and
will not be winded either.-Burlingt
Clipper.
The Hon. Frederick G. Fleetwood is
certainly making those who aspire to
the next Governorship honor decidedly
uneasy. The announcement that he
would be a candidate has met with
warm reception. The younger Republi-
can workers of the State are taking a
decided interest in the Lamoille county
candidate, which means that his corps Of
workers will be active. The boys know
| how to win out.-Waterbury Record.
In the course of an article on the gov
ernorship campaign the Rutland Herald
says:
1.-THE Fleetwood factor is interesting,
and the pleasant hammered eX-secretary
of state is entitled to felicitation on the
score of his many friendships and tSe
number of his we'll wishers. If he carr1tss
out his program of direct appeal to the
voter by way of public speeches, he may
make a dent in the situation that will be
amply visible"
The Banner is inclined to believe that |
the Herald and some Others of the State
papers are not taking Mr. Fleetwood's |
candidacy as seriously as the facts war
rant. The editor of the Banner a few
days ago, out of curiosity mostly, inter
viewed Ia men who usually take an inter
est in State politics as to their choice for
governor. Of the men seen ten live in
Bennington, two in Pownal, one in
SALISBURY and one in Manchester. Six
of the II said they had no choice or had
not made up their mind Seven of the
other eight said they would like to sup
port 0. M. Barber of Bennington if he
would be candidate, but with him elm.
mated five of the eight preferred Fleet
wood, one Mead, one Merrill and one
Gates. The Gates man was for him any
way regardless of Barber or ANYBODY
else. This of course is only straw and
there appears a tendency, especially
among the younger men, toward Fleet
wood. Anybody who figures that Fleet
wood has no strength is deceiving him
