YEAR. The letter came IN the form OF
IN inquiry a. 10 who had been appointed
administrator Of the estate Of the late
Mr.. Julia X. Plummer. who died in Brat
tlcborO April 20 1905. Mr.. knight was n
brother oi Mn. Plummer and a few weeks
ago read IN an old copy Of the Springfield
Republican that his sisters house on
North Main street had been sold 10 Mr..
Shumway Meeting james Smiley, a form.
er BIaitlchOro man. on the street in Chi
cago he inquired about his sister 10 learn
for the first time that she had been dead
nearly two years. He has been advised
that George G. Averll is the administra.

Mr. Knight viii inherit a quarter of the
estate The other heirs are Mrs. Henry
Pitman OF Troy. y. V, Lewis Lawrence
Of Kansas City. Kan. and two heirs by
he name OF Wood in Connecticut. The
two latter heir win inherit each an eighth
Of the estate.
Whether Mrs. Plummer knew Of the
Of her long.abscnt brother is
not known, hut an intimate friend with
whom she talked often during the last
years Of her life says that Mrs. Pummer
was not aware OF the seriousness OF her
ast lines, until il was too late TO attend
10 matters TO which she would have given
attention had she known that she was
lbout to die. The friend says that Mrs.
Plummer said shortly before her death
hat there were several matters which she
wished to attend TO il she was going to
lie and il is believed that she had some
of the whereabouts OF her
brother in the west.
The letters received last week from Mr..
Knight show that he is employed evident
Y in a clerical capacity in one Of the po-
ice stations in the city OF Chicago. When

The Work of the Grange.

In calling attention to the recent growth
of the grange throughout New England,
the Boston Transcript says: There are
now more than 56,23O grangers in good
standing in Maine, nor is it the only New
| England state in which the Patrons of
Husbandry can be at will powerful civic
force. New Hampshire had quite recently
number OF grangers almost equal to one
in every incorporated community. Through
out central Massachusetts,, the order is
strong, and there are powerful contingents
in Connecticut and Rhode Island Yer
mont grangers spoke for themselves few
years ago, in the election of Governor Bell.
Though New England has recently had two
granger governors, nevertheless the order
lives pretty closely up to its claim of not
being more political than the interests of
agriculturists demand. We hear compare
lively little of the grangers, compared with
what We heard twenty years ago, but in
the rural districts their activity is con-
tinuous without being spectacular. The
grange and the Pomona are the two CEN
ters of social commingling in many New
England inland town, and they undoubt-
edly make for 'uplift.' Probably the grang
ers are today more effective for the ad
vancement of farming interests than in the
era of their more spectacular influence of
legislation. Nevertheless, the rural politi-
clans find the Patrons of Husbandry wor-
thy of observation, and keep their ears to
the ground about the grange halls"
The Vermont grange now numbers up
wards of 10000 members, considerable
number having been taken into the organ
ization during the past year, and the organ
ization seemingly is in very prosperous |
condition. As an organization, it does not |
dabble very much in politics, but now and
then it expresses its likes quite forcibly, as
in the case of Governor Bell, when he ran
for governor Its chief work lies in the
line of improvement of the conditions of
the farming class of people, and it is un-
doing a fine work in Vermont,
furnishing many of the intellectual and So
,ial requirements of the people of the more
communities. If the influence of
he grange is waning anywhere in the
country, it certainly is not on the decline
n Vermont.

Judge Martin is making a record in
New York, not only for efficiency but for
courage and justice He has made no at
tempt to RAILROAD" the sugar thieves to
prison, but has gone along the course of
justice in an orderly manner to the punish
ment of the crime. In order that there
might be no injustice done to the criminals,
Judge Martin decided to break off his
church-going habit for one Sunday. 'In-
stead of going to church," he said Il ex-
amined these briefs in the application for
new trial. The only question raised to
which I had not given due study in the
course of the trial was as to the admissi
bility of the pink books as evidence. While
have been impressed by the argument, I
do not think there are sufficient reasons
for rejecting that evidence The motion
for a new trial is therefore denied"

Franklin County Power Sites Expensive.

1t is believed by those familiar with the
situation, says the Shelburne Falls CORE
spondent of the Springfield Republica.
that the project to develop the water
power at Shelburne Falls and higher up on
the stream, which was started last sum
mer, will have to be abandoned on ac
count Of the big damages claimed by land
holders for the diversion of the water OF
the Deerfield river The men interested
Vernon, Vt. Thorough surveys have been
made of the Deerield river from the
Greenfield line to Wilmington, Vt. One
of the plans was to tunnel the hill from
point near the so-called Scott's bridge,
above Sheburne Falls, through to the
river above the village, somewhere near
the place known as the dugway, where
power plant would be established. From
Scott's bridge to the dugway the rivers
course is nearly like the letter "S." In
order to get the full force of the water it
will be necessary to cut tunnel through
the hill eastery from the bridge dis
tance of about half mile. A dam would
be built not far from Scott's bridge. -
By the tentative plan agreed upon last
summer the water rights of the Larnson &
Goodnow Manufacturing company were to
be taken over and more fully developed,
the cutlery being guaranteed sufficient
power for its needs. 1t is pointed out by
some of those interested in the develop
ment of the water.power on the Deerfield
river that in order to interest capitalists
n the project it is necessary to be able
to show that it is a paying one, and that
n order to accomplish that end the ex-
)enses for water rights as well as for other
,hings will have to be kept within reason
lble limits.
