A strike vote is to be taken this week
by the $500 conductors and trainmen IN
the employ of the Grand Trunk railway
in Canada and $500 men on the Central
Vermont railway. In negotiations which
came to an end Saturday night the
Grand Trunk offered to give the men
the rates recommended by the board of
Cancellation. The committee, however,
refused to accept the rates and also re-
iected the suggestion by President
HAYS that the wage question be re-
ferred to committee of three practi'
cal railway men for arbitration, the
finding to be binding on both parties.
The men demand the eastern standard
scale which, they say, has been adopted
by the Canadian Pacific railway.

spectators, a majority of whom were
women and children. and many personal
friends of the young aviator, the
Wright biplane on which he was flying,
fell suddenly with terrific speed from
a height of 100 feet. 1t struck the
ground close to the crowded grandstand,
smashed into tangled mass, and be-
fore the doctors and their assistants
could reach the spot, Rolls was dead.

POWER LINE ACROSS COUNTRY.
Rights to Erect Towers Being Secured
from Vernon TO Hoosac Tunnel.

Rights are being secured from Yer
non. VI, TO the Hoosae tunnel, 10 erec'
line Of steel towers. and wires carry
ing electric power, by the Connecticut
River Transmission company. Thes'
rights are understood 20 have been
secured across Leyden and Colrain, and
the purchasers have been working IN
Heath this week.
The company secures warranty deeds
from the land owners, giving them the
right to erect line of steel towers also
secondary line of poles, the latter 20
be used 10 distribute light and power
along the route. The people living near
the line are hopeful that this will give
them the chance TO buy light and power
cheaply. The purchasers have the right
10 patrol the line which touches the
north line of Bernardston and crosses
Leyden north of the Center.
Land owners have secured anywhere
from small sum up TO over 5000 each
for these rights, dependent on whether
the line crosses rough pasture only, or
goes through woodland OF other valu-
able property.
There is of course endless speculation
as TO what the interests back of Deer.
field river development propose TO do.
Some people think that this line across
Franklin county is TO supply power for
the electrifeation of the Hoosac tunnel,
and that if the line is secured at a rea-
sonable cost, the development of the
Deerfield river will not proceed at pres
ent.
The Boston News Bureau says in re-
gard to those projects:-

initial half.year of oper

hydro.electric project in the United
States east of Niagara.

STILL LOOKING ron LIoHT.

Our friends on the Montpelier Journal
81. Albans Messenger and Bennington
Banner thus far have had nothing to "a,
in reply to our request for enlightenment
concerning their attitude toward Ut
Mead before and after his nomination iol
governor. They haven't offered single
word in explanation Of their "erow'eaiins
net" as someone has frankly termed u
This is a matter on which, in our opinion
there is need OF much light. We think
there are a large number Of independent
republicans in Vermont who are really
anxious TO know the truth about these
charges so freely made against DIR. Meads
campaign methods. They want TO know
whether those charges were made up out
of whole cloth for the benefit OF Dr..
Mead's opponents, or were based upon
facts which il now seems expedicnt 10
overlook for the sake Of party regularity,
II the charges were pure political bun
combe it is outrageously unfair to DIR.
Mead to allow them to go unreiuted; IN
fact, we should think he would be the
first man to demand their retraction, Tor
a govcrnorship nomination is mere
trihe compared with ones reputation Tor
square dealing. On the other hand, if the
charges were not groundess how can the
editorial brethren OF st. Adams, Mont
pelier, Bennington and certain other
towns swallow them at one gulp and lend
their support to the man against whom
they were made. The Mortified News,
a staunch republican organ, says 1t would
like to know why in the world those
neighbors failed to mention the extremely
desirable qualifications Of DR.. Mead, to
which they now so frankly allude, previ
Gus to his nomination. If they didnt
know Of them, how in time did they dis
cover them so quickly after the doctor
had won out?' We are bit more in
ouisitiye than the News, because we want
not only an answer to its pertinent ques'
ton but to the following
II the charges made against Dr. Mead's
campaign methods are not true why don't
the makers come out like men and admit
it SO that no stigma shall rest on the
name of the man whom the republicans
of the state are supposed to elect governor
this fall
If the charges against DR.. Mead's cam
paign methods are true how can the men
and newspapers who opposed him previ'

support him now? ,

Vermont's Maple Sugar.
burlington News.)

It would not appear that Vermont
maple sugar makers are in much danger
from Canadian competition. 1t appears
from official statistics that last year out
of total production of two million
dollars worth Canada exported maple
products to the extent Of only 10000, Of
which $4,000 came from the United
States. No great danger here.
The estimated maple sugar output OF
Canada during the last season was up 10
the average, and approximately 100000
pounds were produced. The bulk is made
in four Provinces, Quebec, Ontario, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Province
of Quebec leading by approximately TO-.
100000 pounds. The st. Johns consular
district, with what is known as the east
ern townships, is the center of the sugar
producing section of Quebec province.
The greater proportion of the output is
consumed in Canada, the prevailing price
being 81 per imperial gallon for syrup,
and ten cents per pound for sugar.

The republicans of Lamoille and Frank
lin counties are deserving of commenda
ton for their attitude toward the direct
primary idea as expressed in the platforms
of their recent conventions. Both came
out squarely in favor of placing the nom
nation of state and county officers direct
ly in the hands Of the people, and the
Franklin county platform requested the
representatives of that shire to favor the
enactment of such law. The prelimi-
nary draft of the state platform contained
an extremely mild endorsement of the
direct primary idea, but even this was
more than some of the political rulers
could stand, and at the direction of some
one in authority-was it Senator Diling-
ham ?-even this was eliminated Wind
ham county republicans failed in their
convention to act on the direct primary
idea further than to endorse the state
platform which contained no reference to
it. However, the censorship of the state
