Shell, N. D., March IL.
Mr.. Editor:
l have read with great interest the
article "A Whack at Truste." True in
every particular but what is the use,
these things are we'll known to every
one. No one doubts the fact that our
public servants stand ever ready to
fill the trough with public plumber
for these porhne individuals. No po-
litical party is to blame for 1t; the
Socialist party would probably do
even worse. You can't change old hu.
man nature. Gods laws remain ever
tho same. Continuity is the most
striking feature. We have gravity
and centrifugal, light and darkness;
heat and cold each working against

that everv poultry keeper should use
all the various foods that are on the

Killington Peak and Conserva-
ton

The State of Vermont, with half a
dozen mountain peaks within her
grasp as holiday gifts, may well he
gin to take fresh interest in conser
walton. 1t is time the State did so.
Conditions compel conservation in
the matter of Mr.. Battell's offer of
Camel's Hump for park, string
on his gift which is not Objectionable
though it will be unfortunate if he
insists on changing the name of that
conspicuous lookoff to Mount Ethan
Allen"
For this section of the State, Kill
ington, 424l feet in the air, has
special interest, and since the Otta-
quechee valley has won victory for
conservation, that concerns its wood
ed slopes-which one may hope will
be more than temporary-the people
stand in the position of a sort of
guardian and they should be alert in
its protection.
1t is suggested that perhaps M. E
Wheeler of Rutland, who owns Kill.
ington peak, may be disposed to give
it to the State. How to save more
than the bare rocks at the summit is
another question, though perhaps
Mr.. Wheeler's ownership may extend
farther down the Rutland side of the
mountain than it does on this. On
the eastern side a paper company is
eating its way through the woods; it
owns large tracts on the mountain
side, which it is not likely to give up
and there are evidences of tremen-
dous waste of timber in its domain.
The New York Sun, which shows
much interest in conservation here
and some geographical knowledge
says Of the Killington sgroup-Pico,
owned by the Proctors; Mendon and
Shrewsbury mountains, ETC.;
Nowhere else in Vermont is there
such community of mountains or a
wilder country. Numerous streams
rise in the gorges, and the whole dis,
trict is heavily wooded. 1t is still
the home of the bear, and in the
Black River and Ottaquechee valleys
beyond challenge the most beauti-
full in Vermont-deer share the pas
lures with cattle during the closed
season."
