Inauguration
BY WILLIAM H. SEELY.

The inauguration of another Presi-

cerned Governor Fort reached Lake
wood at 1855 this morning, more than
eighteen hours after he had boarded
his special car in the Union station at
Washington. Accompanied by Senator
Oliver III. Brown, of Monmouth Dr.
Bruce Keator, Of the State Board of
Health; DR.. Schauffier, of his staff, and
his son and secretary, Leslie r. Fort,
the Governor left the Washington train
at Philadelphia this morning, and after
a brief rest at the Bellevue Stratford
started for Lakewood Speaking OF the
inauguration he said:
II don't know that there is anything
that can say to interest people as to

dignity about the simple but significant
exercisee attending the iuatgpsation i,s

s'President Taft's address was a calm
judicial and forceful presentation of the
vital public questions of the day as he
sees Them We are to have a Presi-
dent as patriotic and aGle as any of
his predecessors, and the next four
years of the nation will witness in its
executive office a craftsmanship that
will meet the high ideals which the
American people hold"

Somerset Also Gets Theirs.

Two of the best matches of the league
were pulled off last week, and two of the
leaders including the Somersets, who head
the league were handed something in the

three strings and led in pinfall 2121 to

but listen to what the Centrals slipped
across to mighty Somerset on Wednes-

the two opening strings, they rolled the
highest total score of the week and three
of winning team are given places in the

Tried for IntOXicatiOn.

George Peck and Fred Walker were
arrested Saturday night for intoxica-
ton and both were admitted to bail in
the sum of $25 each. The case against
Walker was continued to January 7, but
counsel for the other respondent called
for jury trial on Monday The entire
forenoon was spent in selecting jury
and subp9naing witnesses and it was
not until 100 that the case got into full
swing. States Attorney Robert w.
Simonds was positive that the respon-
dent was drunk as Officer Marden
charged and called seven witnesses to
uphold his contention. Harland B.
HIVE. representing Peck, was equally
certain that his client on the night in
question: was sober and in full posses
sion of his faculties. He introduced ex-
pert medical testimony to prove his
claims, DR.. Allen being called to tell of
the results OF an examination of Peck
while the latter was in the station Sat-
urday night. The witness not only
thought the respondent sober at the time
but he claimed he was unable to find
that Peck had even tasted alcoholic bev.
erages.
In the arguments, che question as to
whether the respondent had been drink
ing was only mentioned casually, the
prosecution setting forth the evidence of
witnesses who claimed to have seen Peck
staggering and using offensive language
on the streets, and the defence basng its
plea tor verdict of not guilty on that
section OF the statutes, which defines
that man is intoxicated and liable to
arrest by the proper authorities without
a warrant only when he gets into such
state that he disturbs the public and
domestic tranquility" Notwithstand-
ing the absolute certainty of the contend
ing counsel as to their respective claims,
doubt seems to have rested in the minds
OF the jury, for after nearly an hours
elaboration they reported disagree.

Drove Family Out.
John Perry Forced Mother to Walk Half a
Mile in Night Clothes.-Was Intoxicat-
ed.-NOw in Jail,

Constable w. H. Worthen and Deputy
Sheriff F. s. Hartman were called to
East St. ,Johnsbury about one o'clock
Thursday morning to subdue John
Perry, who it is alleged had driven his
family out of the house under threat of
killing them all. He arrived home from
Lyndonvile about II O'Clock Wednes-
day night in beastlv state of intoxica-
ton and thoroughly frightened his aged
mother, his brother and sister by his
ugly threats. They took refuge IN
another room and locked the door, hut
he smashed the door and forced them to
flee to the home of Frank Hovey, about
half mile away. His mother made the
entire distance in the snow with no other
protection from the cold than her night
gown. Mr. Hovey at once got into
communication with States Attorney
Simonds, who ordered Worthen and
Hartman to bring the man here to the
Jail. When the officers arrived Perry
was as ugly as ever and refused to sub
NIT to verbal persuasion. Other and
more forcible methods were employed by
the officers and Perry was soon brought
to see the futility of resistance
He was landed in the county Jail and
Friday was given hearing before JUS
tice Worcester. Bonds were fixed at
$500 for his appearance at the June term
of county court and in default of bail he
is still considering the situation behind
the bars
The charge upon which he is being held
is breach of the peace, but this will prob
ably be changed to a more serious one
before June. 1t was claimed that he had
a gun when he started the trouble, but if
so he safely disposed of it before the ar
rival of the officers.
Perry is about 26 years old and a
powerful man as both Mr.. Hartman
and Mr. Worthen can testify, being over
six feet in height and tipping the beam at
1877 pounds. The family came to East
st. Johnsbury from Colebrook N. H.,
last summer and John has sinced worked
as farm hand for Rev. E. E. Grant.
Since his arrest Perry's mother, sister
and brother have returned to their form
er home in Colebrook.

100000 Christmas Trees.
Yield the Farmers 100000 and Cost the
Consumers s.. 900. 900,


Upwards of four million trees from the
spruce, fir and balsam forests through
out the country were cut this year to
supply the demand for Christmas trees.
In the evergreen forests of New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Maine, and in Michigan
and Oregon the work of cutting the
available young trees or taking the tops
off the larger ones has been carried on
steadily since the first of the month. and
every little station and siding in the
woods has shipped trees on the railroads
to the markets in the large cities. The
Christmas tree industry is fourishing
one. The total cut of trees yields the
producers about $4,000 it is estimat-
ed. For the same trees the "consum-
ers" pay about 100000. The farm
er or land owner receives an average of
a few cents apiece for his trees, but the
buyer pays from 25 cents up to three
dollars. The trees which find the read
lest sale are from five to seven feet in
height and proportioned symmetrically.
Spruce is favored most and constitutes
two thirds of the entire Christmas har-
vest.
New England contributed nearly $780,
600 Christmas trees this year; $4,000
from Maine, the greatest number in the
country, it is believed, 100000 from YER
mont, 100000 from New Hampshire,
$1,000 from Western Massachusetts, and
about half that jointly from Rhode
Island and Connecticut. Maine is the
principal tributary to the New York,
Boston and Philadelphia markets.
Maine trees, too, go as far west as
Cleveland ! all the way down the
Atlantic coast to Florida. About half
a dozen schooners were employed for
three weeks carrying trees from Maine
ports to New York city.
In some states, notably Vermont, the
extensive cutting of trees for Christmas
use has been termed slaughter" by
opponents of the forest conservation
idea. 1t is asserted that considerable
denudation of the spruce forests impairs
the water supply. This has led to a
suggestion that this country. as side
venture to the general policy of conser-
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-12-29

walton of national resources, take upon
itself cutting of spruce trees for the
Christmas trade exclusively. This is the
policy in Germany, it is stated.
Boston and its suburbs use about
100000 Christmas trees annually, as
well as tons of holly and laurel wreaths.
Maine contributes the greatest number
of trees to.this market averaging about
1850 each year, Vermont sends down
about $4,000 spruce trees, and New
Hampshire 100000 Most of these are
shipped by rail.

Complaint Of Bad Roads.

Editor County Record
Does any one in the county realize
what bad roads mean? There are GER
tain portions of the roads in the lower
part of. Anderson township that
the people fully realize what it is tc
try and travel public road that is
mud and mire for miles. The road
leading from Barton branch to
Harmony church is almost beyond
a passable condition and it is time
for our road engineer to get busy and
help put these roads in better con-
dition, so that the people along this
road can get doctor in time Of
sickness, if nothing more.
Some time ago the road engineer
promised to let this road out on con-
tract, but up to the present time We
have not heard of such being done.
1t will greatly please the people to
know that immediate steps are taken
to better the condition Of these roads
and thereby help the community
at large.
Yours truly,
NJ NJ POWELL.
