ARBOR DAY MAY 9Th.
Governor Prouty Makes His Annual
pracInmatinn TO That Effect.

Governor George H. Prouty has is
sued his Arbor Day proclamation
setting aside May 9th as tree planning
day. The Governors proclamation Is
as follows:
I'm the early days of our State
one of the most valuable of our nat
ural resources was our great crest
are. The tall pines, the fragrant
spruce, the beautiful maple and the
stately birch all combined To form
covering for our hills and valleys
that was of great value not only ~
commercial product but one that
greatly assisted in conserving the wa
ters. causing more even distrlbu-
ton throughout the season and pre-
venting floods and droughts. For va
rious reasons large portion OF Tie
most valuable of these forests have
been cut off and the hills that we're
once the admiration of all who over
! looked upon them are low showing
scars where the woodsman has cut
away everything in the shape Of a
tree, and black patches caused by
fires, that in most cases might have
been prevented stand out as blNta on
our otherwise beautiful landscape.
I'VE of this generation are not to
be censured for what has been done
in the past but must bear the respon-
sibility for the present as well as fer
the training which the children shall
have in the future. The conserving
of our forests and the planting of
trees on the hill sides and barren
places throughout the State are sub
jects of vital importance and should
be studied in a serious and compfe-
Intensive way.
Let us teach the children to love a
tree not only as a commercial asset
but as a beautiful part of the land
scape, to be cared for and respected.
ITO assist in carrying out this idea
l hereby designate Friday, May the
sixth, A. D., 1910, as Arbor Day, and
earnestly recommend that on that
day appropriate exercises be held in
the public schools which shall III
struct the youth of our State in those
matters essential to the carrying on
of forestry. That the officers OF the
different towns and cities unite in the
observance of the day and that trees
be planted for the purpose of beauti'
flying our streets, lawns and oar%s
so that the day may be one of great
profit to all

THE GRANITE INDUSTRY
Journal Reporter Investigates the
Situation In This City and Barre
and Finds Things Very Satisfac-

tory.
The stone sheds of this city are at
present working all the men they can
get and would use more If they were
to be had. One manufacturer stated
yesterday that he thought the total
of cutters at work in the city and
Barre to be greater at this time than
for some years past. AS an idea of
the condition of the trade it is inter-
esting to note that the Consolidated
Lighting Company and the Vermont
Power and Lighting Company is car
rying 1000 horse power heavier load
at this time than at any other time
in their history and this too without
taking many new customers.
A trip through the stone sheds of
the city found every shed busy and
when interviewed the managers stat
ed that they were working all the
men they could secure. Most of
them had a number of orders which
were taken during the late trouble in
the trade and these, with the current
orders, are enough to work the sheds
to the limit. On the other hand, most
of them reported that they are esti-
mating on very few orders and that
there is not a great deal of business
in sight. This is the month of the
year when the business is best any
nd xrrif1, t1aA lot nd
from the strike period the prospects
are that the sheds will be running
well until late in June, by which time
there is likely to be a loosening up
of the money market, which Will help
the granite business. Probably no
other business better reflects the.
condition of the money market than
the granite trade. Monuments are a
luxury and are not purchased when
money is scarce.
The reports were similar from ev-
cry shed, there being no especial
difference between them. c. p. Gill
and Company have just shipped a
large private monument job to par
ties in Missouri The stone is in ten
pieces and stands % feet high On
base eight feet square. The die is
surmounted by an eight-foot figure
of Hope, holding an anchor. A large
amount of elaborate carving appears
on the shaft and the figure is a fine
piece of work. The job required two
cars to carry it. This was one of the
jobs which were caught by the strike
causing delay Of three months in
delivery. The total time spent on
the job was ten months.
Another large job recently shipped
was from the shed of Dillon & Ha-
ley. This was for private parties in
Indiana. This stands % feet high
and is capped by a marble statue.
| This, with several other pieces of
marble work about the stone were
cut elsewhere. The die is squared
with column panels on the sides.
There are i pieces of stone on the
completed monument and two cars
were required to carry it. This firm
also has a large spire job in the shed
at the present time, the shaft being

Perch and Pike Found.

The angler who seeks only a pan
of fish, or the camper who desires
an addition to his menu more than
sport will find the humble yellow
perch something not to be 1espi5ed.
Most of the ponds about here are fed
partly by springs so that their waters
are cold and the flesh of the perch
remains firm and hard all through
the summer months. Properly dressed
and cooked the perch is a delicious
morsel and some even prefer 1t to
the trout. 1t is plentiful in all the
ponds excepting those inhabited by
trout, is easily caught, and while it
cannot be ranked as a game fish it
stands high as a table delicacy.
Greenwood Lake in Woodbury., and
some other waters have been stocked
with fry of the pike perch, or wall
eyed pike, from the Government
hatchery on Lake Champlain. None Of
these have yet attained to large size,
two pounds or little more being the
greatest weight recorded of any yet
caught, but they are thriving and
ought soon to be plentiful, rs The
supply of fry is continued. The pike
is a commercial fish in Lake Cham
plain and is esteemed for it's tooth
someness. AS regards flavor and
edible qualities it might be called the
cod of the fresh waters.
