CAPT. PEARY LIKELY TO
RETURN TO ACTIVE DUTY
Orders From Navy Department Di-
recting Resumption of Service
as Civil Engineer.

Capt. Robert e. Peary, the arctic ex-
plorer, probably will return to active
duty as a civil engineer in the navy.
His latest period Of leave. extending over
Ave years, has expired. and the order d.
recting him to proceed to a post of duty
is expected this afternoon. Some OF Capt.
Peary's friends thought that the depart
ment would not insist upon the explorer
return to active naval duty, but that he
would be given more time to prepare the
record of his dash for the north pole
and to deliver lectures throughout the
country. 1t seems. however, that the
Navy Department has decided to assign
Capt. Peary to duty with his corps.
The authorities found plenty Of work
which would be offered to any other civil
engineer in the service. but to find some
thing suitable for the explorer proved to
be q difficult matter. Accordingly he
was placed on waiting orders" SO that
more time might be given the subject.

MILK SHIPMENTS WILL STOP.
Farmers in Windham County VIII Stand
by the Producers Organization in De-
handing Continuance Of Winter Prices.

There are no indications that the pro-
ducers OF milk IN Brattleboro and other
towns ana cities from which Boston
secures its milk supply will recede from
their position with respect to the sum-
mer price Of their product, and up to the
present time the contractors who ship
the milk to Boston and dispose OF il
there have not indicated that they in
tend to pay more than the regular sum
mer schedule Of prices. The cause OF
the milk war was stated in The Phoenix
last week Briefly, 1t is that on account
of the high price Of feed and the conse-
quent high cost OF production the pro-
ducers have decided that they will not
make the usual reduction in price May
/, and they demand a continuation Of the
winter schedule whereby they receive
seven cents more for each can of eight
and One-half quarts than they have been
receiving through the summer The con-
tractors have declined To grant the de-
mands of the producers and have made
an effort 10 secure milk from new sources,
but strong organization has been per-
fected among the farmers. known as the
Boston Cooperative MIX Producers COM
pany, which controls over 80 per cent. Of
the city's present supply.
The farmers in many communities
have gotten together this week and
formed local branches OF the central or
ganization. No branch has been formed
IN ibIdlleboIo, out the Shippers IN tliS
town have talked the matter over in
formally and have decided not TO ship
away any more milk after tomorrow. \
similar decision has been reached in
Guilford. The East Dummcrston pro-
ducers met Monday night and decided
TO withhold their milk from the Boston
supply. They delegated Walter r Walk
er to meet the Putney farmers Tuesday
afternoon, which he did. There was a
large attendance at the Putney meeting
and they voted unanimously TO stand by
the association. A branch was formed
there with Mr. Walker as chairman and
Rollin Ranney Of Westminster West as
clerk They voted to send Russell H.
Braley to Boston TO represent them at
a meeting Of the main organization We'd
nesday at 10 O'clock At that meeting
il was voted unanimously TO suspend
shipments Saturday night and Sunday
morning from all districts unless word
had been received before Saturday noon
from the contractors to the effect that
they were willing to pay the full winter
price this summer.
The contractors claim to be in no way
frightened by the threats OF the pro-
ducers, and they say they can obtain all
the milk they desire from the farmers
not affiliated with the producers COM
pany. On the other hand the producers
say that If the contractors decline to
pay the price demanded they will set up
independent depots in Boston and sub
urbs and distribute the milk themselves.
From this It would appear that at least
after the first few days there will be no
material shortage in the citys supply

cludes farmers in Putney, Dummerston,
Westminster, Brattleboro, Walpole and

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Two Log Drives in the River.

The first logs in the annual drive Of
the Interna uonal Paper company arrived
here this week, the drive having been let
into the Connecticut from the Ammon-
oosuc early in the week. The river is in
the best condition as to height, and one
of the earliest and quickest drives of
years is promised. Last year the amount
brought here in this way by the company
was 100000 feet, but this year the
amount put into the streams has been
10000, 900 feet. The company has large
part of last years drive still in its yard
at North Walpole and in addition has
number of million feet Of short wood that
has been shipped here by rail, and from
which large amounts have been used as
it arrived, to save reloajing. There has
been no show of labor troubles here for
some weeks, all machines of both paper
and pulp mills being run in full capacity.
The pay roll of the company here now Is
a little larger than it was before the
strike, indicating a larger force of men.
The Connecticut Valley Lumber com
pany's drive also is making unusual
Roadway, all logs having reached the
Connecticut from the smaller streams
in the north part of Vermont and New
Hampshire Many million feet have
reached the booms at Wells River and
at McIndoes Falls, where they are being
held in order that the International drive
may clear that point first 1t is probable
that the rear of the big drive will be
here within three weeks.

THE KU KLUX KHAN.
Were Abroad In The Land On Friday
Night OF Last Week

Some of us older people recollect the
time, when the papers We're full of the
dark doings of the Ku klux Khan, or
night riders in the south some years
after the close of the war. On Friday
night of last week, some of the school
boys and the other young men, played
the Ku KluX game on a picnic party
south of town. 1t seems that the soph-
omore class of the High School arranged
for a bonfire picnic, and asked Miss
Cook, the instructor in Mathematics to
go along as chaperone for the young
ladies. While they were having good
time around the fire, they were scared
to death by a sudden attack of braves"
who rode down upon them yelling and
firing their guns. The boys of the class
were set upon, and two of them carried
off down to Hamlin. it is said, as tro-
phies of the successful raid and surprise
they had made in the dark hours of the
night, upon the weak and unoffending
tribe of the sophomore class. When
Miss Cook demonstrated with them,
they rudely informed her it was none
of her business. Such action by pres
ent and former members of the High
school, might be a recommendation in
some places but we consider it dis
grace to this community, and it is time
that quietus should be put upon such
wild and Woolly West perform
ances.
