In ExceIsis Gloria.


This carol is from the Harlean
manuscripts in the British museum.
The date of the manuscript is sup
posedt o be about the year 1900:
When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem, in that fair cite,
Angels sang there with mirth and glee
In Excelsis Gloria
Herdsmen beheld these angels bright,
To them appearing with great light,
Who said, Goods Son is born tonight
In Excelsis Gloria!
This King is come to save mankind
AS in Scripture truths we find,
In Excelsis Gloria!
Therefore this song have we in mind
Then, Lord, for thy grace,
Grant us the bliss to see thy face,
Where We may sing to thy solace,
In Excelsis Gloria!

to correspond, and with mild

in good shape. Mr.. Beal has
spent over 20 years out there in
the great plains country. While
settlers are going in and driving
the ranchmen out. still there are
some of the customs in force that
have been in existence as far
back as the oldest cowman can
remember. Some people who
live in a country where there are
groves of timber and hills occa-
sionally, would feel strange out
there on those broad plains, "
said Mr.. Beal. Il suppose per-
son could ride all day or perhaps
several days, and not see a tree,
except perhaps a small bush here
and there in the yard Of some
settler. Timber grows there very
fast when il is started, and the
settlers are setting out trees, but
so far we have no timber And
! imagine that within the next
20 years a great change will be
shown, when groves OF timber
grow up over the country. Cow
chips still furnish as with fueI
out there on those plains. Along
in the fall they are gathered uI
and piled away in sheds from the

Acreage In Panhandle

In the modest ambition 10
make itself understood The
News usually succeeds. How
ever, we seem to have failed ut
terly in commenting, a week or
so ago, on TIE subject Of the
Panhandle's wheat acreage.
Coming across an item in the
news columns Of a contemporary
stating, on the authority Of an
official Of the Fort Worth and
Denver Railroad, that the Pan
handles wheat acreage is 10 per
cent greater this year than last,
we expressed unfeigned surprise
as well as incredulity, wiereup-
on we went on 70 argue that it
must be, not less. but considera-
bly, more. We observed among
other things, that there have
been enough newcomers to the
Panhandle to make'that increase
even if the men who grew wheat
there last year had not increased

last years. That shows what
they know about it. The farm
ers about here know that it is
nearer 400 per cent" And the
secretary of the Commercial
Club of that virile little city also
seems to have read as he ran, for
he writes US, to say. among
many other things, that he wish
es to disabuse the impression
that may obtain credence over
the State through the reading of
that editorial in which the infer
ence is left that the Panhandle
has increased its wheat acreage
this year only 10 per cent He
advises us that we may in safety
swell our estimate of increase to
100 per cent. We don't estimate
crop acreages in our editorial
columns; but we will repeat. even
with more confidence than be-
fore, that the wheat acreage Of
the Panhandle has been increas-
ed more than 10 per cent and

greater pleasure that come with

their acreage in any degree
whatever. They probably have,
and considerably, wherefore it is
equally probable that the increase
is more than 10 per cent. " We
do not believe we are capable Of
expressing dissent to the 10 per

was done in that passage. New
ertheless it has been subjected
to a great deal Of criticism more

Of it all being that we dom

For instance, our namesake at
Dalhart says we have accused
the people Of the Panhandle "of

apprehension, though with more

Gov Prouty's Start.

G. H. Prouty, Bert" the present
Governor, having finished his busi-
ness education, was sent to KnoWl-
ton, Que, in 1881, to acquire practi-
cal experience in the management of
the mill there. In 1885 he and Fl. II.
his brother were admitted to partner
ship in the firm but the latter only re-
manned two years. He sold his inter-
est to his brother and in 1887 went to
Portland. Ore.
J. A. Prouty died in 1900 bat two
years before that his sons E. J. and
w. R. had succeeded to his share in
the business.
| In 1892 the firm took an important
step, buying the yards of the Taunton
| Lumber company at Taunton and
Brock ton, Mass. They later sold the
yard at Taunton, but still operate that
at Brockton and a smaller yard at
Holyoke. This gave them a direct
opportunity for disposing of the prod
uct of their mills.
Canadian Timber and Land Bought.
The next important move was the
purchase of large mill at Victor,
Que, and what is known as govern
ment limit, or about twenty miles of
timber land, on which they have been
operating ever since. The growth on
this land is Quebec spruce, and lumber
sawn from that is more valuable
than that from any other variety OF
spruce. The land has of course been
we'll cut over by this time, but there
is still remaining enough timber te
keep their mill in operation, though
it is only run in summer.
In 1903 they brought out the Crock
erton Lumber Company at Blgelow
Me-, and an entire township of tim
Der land. The product of this mill i.
sold direct, but that from Victor i!
taken in the rough to the mill a
Newport and dressed there.
In addition to the product of it,
/ own mills the firm has had the entir,
cut of the big Megantic mills for thu
last eight or ten years.
Large Timber Holdings.
, In addition to these holdings TIL
+ company has tracts of timber land il
= different places aside from what i
; owns about the shores of Lake Mem
phremagog. The principal supply o
, logs for the Newport mills is tn
territory about the shores of the lax
