Fair Grounds a Gift to the
State.

The State fair commission has ust
received from the Billings family Y OF
Woodstock a deed conveying to The
State of Vermont the fair grounds ut
White River junction The grounds
contain 90 acres.
When questioned regarding the
Billings gift, one of the State fair
commission said
while it is difficult always to
estimate the value of such property,
it is safe to say that the grounds and
buildings could not be duplicated
for fifty thousand dollara. Not only
is it. a splendid thing for Vermont
family to have given to the people
of the State such a generous gift,
but it sets n great precedent for the
future and shows what can be accom-
plished in little state like Vermont
when the mountain line is forgotten
and sectionalism and selr-interest
are cast aside and the whole State
pulls together in the interest Of any
State enterprise.
There is no question but that
the public spirit which prompted
the great gift of the Billings family
was largely due to the interest taken
in the State fair by the people of
Vermont and to the fact that the
undertaking was made possible be-

WASHINGTON, June s.-.Two hun
dred and ifty-onc pulp mills IN the
United States used 1896, LOG cords OF
wood, and made 2,IlS.911 tons of pulp
last year. Spruce has always been the
leading pulp wood, and ii furnished "a
per cent of the total quantity used
The rapid development of the WOOD
pulp industry in the last ten years has
rendered the domestic supply of spruce
insufficient to meet the demands upon
it, and consequently importations from
Canada have been heavy. In 1905 our
pulp mills consumed nearly one and one
half million cords of domestic spruce:
and over $4,000 cords Of imported
spruce, making the imports OF spruce
40 per cent Of tho domestic supply,
Next to spruce. the most important
pulp wood is hcmlock: J69, li3 cords OF
ii were converted INTO pulp last year,
All the hemlock used was Of domestic
origin. and most Of il was produced IN
the lake states and Pennsylvania. Al
though now used in less quantity than
spruce and hemlock, poplar has long
been standard pulp wood, small
quantity of poplar is imported, but by
