Walton,s Vermont Register.

This reorganized edition of Walton S
Vermont Register has been complied
with the single purpose of making a
ready-reference yearbook containing
everything which any one may desire to
know about Vermont and Vermont af-
fairs, and no attempt has been made to
include material outside the scope so de-
fined.
At the outset, an extended investiga-
ton was made to determine the kind of
publication desired by the people of
the state with special reference to the
two types of Register issued within re-
cent years, and the result showed an
almost unanimous sentiment in favor of
a return to the original form "as estab-
lished by Walton This has been
done, but there are also included all the
valuable features of other editions, to-
gether with much other material cal
culated to render the book adopted to
modern demands and the growth of the
varied interests of the state.
The work has been more new COM
pilation than revision, and the time
allowed for so extensive a task has not
permitted the completion of many plans,
but they will be perfected and carried
out in future editions. No pains OF
money have been spared to make the
book as accurate as possible. All the
material has been obtained from the
most reliable sources and in the case OF
matter relating to the state, the copy oil
proof has generally been revised by the
respective officials. Many corrections
have also been made while the work has
been passing through the press. II
must be remembered, however, that ir
so extensive a mass of material changes
are constantly occurring.

Weekly

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
show manufacturing plants are well en-
ployed generally. Wholesale firms in
food stuffs report demand normal: hard
ware and building material reasonably
good. Retail merchants complain of
late seasons and unfavorable weather

ers, plants are well employed and good
demand for work is reported. Granite
manufacturers also report favorably re-
garding volume of business on hand.
Machine industries are employed full

good. An improvement is noted with
furnitu manufacturers. Wcolen mills
note demand is light and stocks of man
ufactured goods accommodating. Reports
from country districts show hay crop
will be good one, but excessive rains
have delayed planting generally and it
is feared that by the time the soil is in
condition for crops the work of harvest

lands are still wet too veto be work.

STAY in Vermont

Concerning the exodus of New
Englanders to the new lands in Canada,
an exodus which has been steadily in
creasing during the past few years, the
Free Press of recent date says:
Canadian authorities are making
strenuous efforts to attract settlers.
An active campaign is now being car
ried on in New England and hundreds of
thousands of American citizens have
left this country, taking millions of dol
lars with them. In some States the
exodus has assumed such proportions
as to occasion alarm and the authorities
have instituted remedial measures to
stay the flood of emigration. In few
of the States land boards are conducting
real estate exchanges and are making
laudable effort to acquaint homeseekers
with the advantages and opportunities
with their own agricultural districts.
In spite of the tremendous efforts
made to lure our enterprising farmers
away from US, attracting in many in
stances our best blood, the fact remains
that host of people are being impress
sed by the fact that splendid opportuni-
ties are afforded right here in Vermont
without the necessity of Drawing the
stern realities of frontier life, with all
its deprivations.
Its gratifying fact that many people
are coming from neighboring States as
well as from the extreme West and are
taking advantage of the opportunities
to secure a good home and acquire a
competence right here in Vermont.
They avoid the extremes which are eX-
perienced in the West cyclones and
great droughts and terrific floods are
spared US, and year in and year out
there are few States in which there is
more enjoyable climate than in the
Green Mountain State.
With present prices for produce and
the close proximity to splendid markets
for farm products of all kinds there is no
reason why farmers who apply intel
ligence and industry should not make
money, and the demand for all kinds of
meat products is growing at a pace
which makes the prospect particularly
inviting"
The Free Press well says that there
are plenty of opportunities here in Yer
mont, in fact greater opportunities than
in many sections of this continent to
secure good home and acquire COM
petence. And it is probably fact
than the intelligent, energetic far
mer who has not "a decided antipa-
thy to sustained effort, can make him
self independently wealthy just as quick
and with less privation as in new
country such as the immigrants are
going to. In fact, some of the richest,
most productive farm lands in the
world are in Vermont and the other
New England states. If one-half the
energy and money were expended to
cultivate and improve our naturally
fertile valleys and uplands as is expend-
ed in the endeavor to reach some fan
distant land of promise, not only the

FinedItor Contempt in Water Case

FinedSfor Contempt in Water Case
Judge Alfred A. Hall of st. Adams,
has handed down a decision in the con-
tempt proceeding instituted by the state
board of health against three Mendon
property owners on the ground that they
violated an injunction restraining them
from polluting the Rutland city water
supply. Two of the defendants are adj
judged in contempt and a third is dis.
charged.
Judge Hail decides that Mark E. Ten.
ney and George w. Sawyer were in con.
tempt of court, but, because they have
apparently shown a desire to live ur
to the injunction since the proceedings
were begun, he has made the fines only
S25 each. The third defendant, NJ. f
Rooney, is discharged as it did not ap
pear that he was the owner or had con,
troll over the premises named in the petit
ton as being occupied by him.
The fines imposed are the first decisive
step taken during ten years fight be
tween the city of Rutland and farmer.

TWO CHAMPLAIN MEMORIALS.

The outcome of the long discussion
over the proposition to erect great
Joint memorial representing Vermont
and New York is that there will be two
permanent Champlain memorials on the
other side of Lake Champlain, one at
Crown Point in which Vermont will be
represented and the other at Bluff
Point. The New York commission has
about $65, 600 available according to a
member of the commission of that State
and S25, 600 of that sum and the $13, 900
or $14, 900 of the Vermont fund will be
used to erect a lighthouse or some other
form of memorial at Crown Point.
The New York commission will use the
balance of $50, 900 not needed to make
its report in the erection of an heroic
statue of Cha mplain at Bluff Point.
Some of the members of the New
York commission We're ready to join in
the erection of two memorials, one of
which should be on this side of Lake
Champlain, but the matter was finally
threshed out as stated. Burlington has
an enduring monument in the success
which crowned its expenditure of over
$40, 600 to help celebrate the Champlain
tercententary in fitting manner, and
we congratulate the people in the vicin-
ity of Crown Point on securing memo
rial which will be fitting tribute to the
great discoverer. Burlington Free

The announcement from Mr.. Roose-
welt that he will accept no favors from
the Custom House is a refreshing one,
and his example is one that all other
good citizens would do well to follow.
1t sounds as if the former President had
not forgotten about the square deal
while in Africa chasing lions and while
in Europe hobnobbing with Princes and
Kings. 1t is the more impressive when
one recalls how numerous are the appli-
cations to the Treasury Department for
special consideration.
More than this, there comes every
day or two the reports that wealthy
people have tried to smuggle goods
through the Custom House, either at
New York or some other port. Either
because this practice is on the increase
or because the customs authorities are
more vigilant, discoveries of instances
of this kind are more and more fire.
quent. 1t is kind of petty theft that
is all too frequently condoned.
! Mr.. Roosevelt's pronouncement that
he wants no favors and that he expects
to pay duty like other citizens ought to
help curb the business of smuggling by
passengers. 1t is not that he deserves
any particular credit for paying the
government what he owes on his bag
gage, but that he is affording an exam
pie of the only course open to the honest
and upright citizen. The customs laws
should be enforced impartially, on high
and low, from the sugar trust to the
man with only one suit case. -Bostor

C. F. Smith of Morrisville, Master of
the State Grange, evidently believes in
modern methods on the farm. He is
having installed at the Laport Dairy
farm eight milking machines which will
milk two cows at time, to be operated
for the present by gasoline engine.
Mr.. Smith will put electric lights in the
farm house and the barns as soon as
possible, also two horsepower electric
motor to run the churn and washing
machine, three horsepower electric
motor to run the milking machines, and
seven horsepower electric motor for
running the ensilage cutters, etc. I'm
provements will be made in the stables
which will enable him to tie between &c
and 80 cows in one stable. This is what
might, perhaps, be called intensive
farming. Mr. Smith is one of the most
progressive farmers in the Lamoille val
ley and also in the State, so it is not
remarkable that he is adopting these
modern appliances.

The Windsor Journal remarks that
"every high school and college through
out the United States will soon send
forth into active life thousands of young
men and women whose duty it will be
to assist in doing the worlds work. "
All of which is very true, but it remains
to be seen if the young graduates are
