In the states of the union, Washing

its dairy industry. All that territory
west of the Cascade mountains is being
recognized as one of the great dairy
regions of America.
Recognizing this condition, the Fair
has enlarged the premiums in the dairy
classes and provided two great barns
for dairy cattle. The activity in Wash

their best heards for competition and
to match the cattle of the two states.

Reported for THE HERALD by Colby Stoddard.
The Legislature of 1910 has had a
most profitable week since its Thanks
back in Montpelier full of wish bones
and full of hope. Many people thought
the time of meeting was fixed at 7.30 on
Monday evening so that members could
draw pay for that day, but the amount
of business done the first evening after
the recess was proof that the members
are willing to work and willing to permit
matters of Importance to come along fast
enough to suit the most fastidious. AT
ter cleaning up routine business on
Monday evening the report from the
judiciary committee recommending the
passage of Mr.. Amey's Capital Punish
ment bill was taken up. Mr. Amey
spoke Interestingly and feelingly for the
bill and ia a very logical argument
showed wherein the passage of the bill
would be step forward in the admin
istration of justice. Bills of this nature
have been introduced at nearly every
session of the Legislature, but it has re-.
NAMED for Mr.. Amey of Brighton to
bring about its passage, The bill does
not abolish capital punishment in words

DEMONSTRATIONS
The House has reconsidered two bills
during the past week. Early in the
week bill compelling towns to keep a
separate fund for the making of snow
roads came in on favorable report
from the committee on highways. Mr..
BatteIl of Middlebury made stirring
speech about the independence of small
towns and succeeded in killing the bill
without anyone getting in word of de-
fence for the bill. Before the next day
Bates OF Derby and other members of
the committee got busy and on the fol-
lowing day the bill was reconsidered
and Mr.. Bates made his first speech of
the session. Bates does not pretend to
be speech maker but he is worker
and he knows his business when it
comes TO road making and keeping, aud
after a short speech from him the House
passed the bill as it came from the COM
mittee. A bill to tax certain fraternal
insurance companies who have a place
of business outside the state but do BUSH
ness here by correspondence was report
ed favorable by the committee of in
surance Mr.. Babbitt of Rockingham
opposed the bill and showed up certain
conditions wherein the bill would work
hardship and it was killed. The bill
has now been reconsidered and may
have chance. 1t is understood now
that it is a bill drafted by the Commits
sioner of State Taxes and the prestige
thereby gained will probably pull it
! through.

The Governor has made some changes
in the municipal judges throughout the
state. At Brattleboro he appointed
Kittredge Haskins in place of +. W.
Gibson in Orleans County he has APP
pointed F. D. Thompson in place of H.

II. Dale has been appointed to take the
place of Herbert Blake, resigned. The
appointees are all good Mead men, but
no one questions their fitness for their
respective positions
The Senate has passed an Employer
Liability bill in mild form.
The bill permitting railroads to ex
change mileage for advertising ha'
passed the House>wthout dissenting
vote. This was the bill,given so muct
publicity recently by reason of an at
tack upon it by Mr.. Redmond. An
amendment has been adopted which
makes it satisfactory to all concerned
and the lion and the lamb can now Ii
down together.
There is another fight on abou
changing names. The people of Milto
wish to change the name of Arrowhea

Why don't they change it? The Legi

that the better grade of peaches, the
