Special Correspondence or The Star.
NEW YORK, January 2s. 1911
The stock market appears to be draw
ing toward the end of its protracted
waiting period. Many things upon
which market action hinged and develop
ments that were pending are about to
take form and action and presently there
will he no further excuse for delay. Very
important railroad expenditures have been
long held in allegiance awaiting the action
of the interstate commerce commission on
freight rates, and awaiting Supreme
Court decisions in trust cases, the ap-
plication of which bore on industrial as
well as transportation problems. These
things are now nearing a conclusion and
within the next thirty or sixty days the
great captains of finance and enterprise
will know where they are at" and what
lines they will have to hew to. They have
had a long wait and their souls should be
schooled to patience.
Dependent upon judicial and cemmis-
sion decisions of the next few weeks are
developments of the very greatest inn
portance to the business world. 1t is not
SO much that decisions must be found
favorable to the corporation and merger
plans as it IS that uncertainty be re
moved and that men and capital may be
able to adjust themselves to known con-
ditions, and to established rules and lines
of policy.

HUMANE WORK FOR APRIL.

Agent Fuller spent three days last
month in the service of the Washing
ton County Humane society, visiting
Waterbury, Montpelier and Barre. He
reports their campaign against cruelty
as having been eminently successful.
Tho quarters Of the city horses at the
capital and the care taken of them
are said to be models for general imi-
tation.
In this county, Colchester, South
Burlington and Mallets Bay were Wis
tied, Essex Junction and Winooski

from work to rest. One day was
mostly given up to visitation Of the
larger stables of the city as several
cases of distemper had been reported.
Twelve small animals were humanely
destroyed. One Of the horses the
death OF which has long been earnestly
desired, after a season OF rest and re-
cuporation, has changed owners for

after like considerate treatment. has
been sold for s25 This conservative

WAR ON PORCUPINEs

The latest enemy of the national for
ests on whom war has been declared
by the forestry service Is the fretful por-
cupine. The quill-armored rodents are de-
stroying hundreds Of fine trees and the
biological survey has sent experts to Col
orado from Washington to study and de-
wise some way to exterminate the pests.
The destruction of timber by porcupines
is claimed to BIO the worst In the Routt
National Forest
The animals are herbivorous, their food
consisting mainly OF grass. shrubs and
roots, but the heavy SHOWS In the noun
tains cover all this substance, compelling
the little animals to seek other diet. As
consequence they go to tho higher alti-
tudes and eat bark from the Englemann
spruce and the lodge pole pine, circling
the trees with their sharp teeth. and
eventually causing them to die. Various
methods of poisoning have been tried, but
with little success. and 1t IL now ND to
Uncle Sam to find a real remedy.

transported to the markets at the cost of
by water. Recently discovered mines in
northern New York showed that millions
Of dollars worth Of iron ore are stored in
the hills, but at present 1t is difficult and
expensive to get It out.
The barge canal which is being built by
the state Of New York at the expense of
millions will be able to take barges of
$500 tons capacity and other appropria-
lions are being made to put the Hudson
In a condition to handle the business.
Ninteen million dollars is also being spent
in that State upon terminals, which will
revolutionize the handling of freight.
These barges are, however. at the pres
ent time unable to reach ports on the
lake and II they could there Is not a
harbor which could be used unless It is
that of Burlington
Mr.. Hadley urged that a committee
of representative citizens so to Washing
ton and interest the Vermont members
in getting an appropriation for the work
at the ''Narrows" at once and also turn
their attention to the development of
the harbors and terminals.
MUST SHOW WHAT CAN Be DONE.
Lieut.. Black then arrived with the party
with whom he had been inspecting the
Burlington brealiwater. He plunged at
once into the business at hand and said
that from his investigation, he would
say that the Strengthening and deepen
ing Of the "Narrows' so that barges
could 90 through would cost about $500. -
600 ana even then a number Of points and
turns would be left. Just how much
should be done should be decided upon

OF An individual. II the saving and in
creased business would make good re-
turns on the investment. then the money
would be forthcoming.
One OF the first things to be done. he
said, was to look into this matter and n
committee was appointed at the meeting
for this purpose with Instructions to send
In the report by the latter part Of tho
week
Lieut. Black then in an Informal way
went into the different problems of the
successful handling OF the waterway. Ter
minals are important and he cited in
stances OF where water routes were OF
detail had been overlooked. burlington is
fortunate in that the railroads are stu
ated along the lake front. as this would
mean large saving In transportation.
personally he thought there were grand
possibilities which could be realized with
deep waterway but could say nothing
cfficially on that subject
There is still an unexpended balance for
work on the breakwater. The original
idea in making the appropriation is to
lcngthen 1t TO the distance of several hun
dred feet In each direction as this would
give protection to large part of the lake
front which now is Of no use in times of
storms.
After an Informal discussion, which con-
tained much explanatory matter, the
party was taken about the city by num-
Der OF citizens and later went to Fort

automobile. leaving later in the day for

night.

The Pittsburgh Press of Monday
contains the following story which
alludes to Miss Bessie Wills OF Lafountain
street instead OF Miss Wells. The Bur-
linston police notified the Plattsburgh
officers so that the girl was taken
care OF.
Bessie Wells. n 16-year-od girl whose
home is in Burlington. spent Sunday

this morning be sent back to her mother
in the Queen city. while the man who
induced her to come to this city. and who
was until Saturday evening In the employ
Of the Champlan Transportation COM
pany, Is now seeking n new job.
BESSIE. who is little more than a
child, left hor home Saturday after
noon for tho purpose Of going to a
store to purchase a dress. Her mother
was at home In bed sick, and after maxi
ing her purchase the girl went to the
steamboat landing to witness the de-
parture Of the steamer Tlconderoga for
this city. one of the deckhands while
wheeling freight on the steamer asked
her If she was going to Plattsbure-i and
she replied in tho negative Each time
he passed her with his truck he spoke to
Iler anu uTEeu HtI To make the trlD.
When the last of the freight had been
loaded this man stepped off the boat and
taking the child by the arm led her
on board. The boat had hardly left
the wharf when the girl realized that
she was being taken from home and
went crying to the stewardoss and told
her story. The lady took the girl in
charge and also informed Captain White
Of what had occurred
THE girls mother had soon after the
boat left Burlington learned that her
daughter was on board and n message
was sent to Chief Corners to take her
in charge as soon as the steamer arrived.
Patrolman Liberty was detailed for this
duty and the girl gladly accompanied him
to headquarters where she told her story
as related above.
Captain White lost no time in dis
charging the man who was guilty of so

BUSY TRIP.
The three men are busy most of the
time during the journey. Mr.. Ferguson,
who was through this country year ago
with the Munsev tour. takes a map and
what is known as the text along the
route. The text consists Of explanato
matter and with the distance, taken from
the odometer he makes the directions

out for scenic beauties and when he dis
covers one. the machine is stopped until
ie has taken the pictures. A mecca for
Inn was the river road between Burlng-
ton and Montpelier.
NAY SPEND THE NIGHT HERE.
When questioned as to whether or not
Burlington would be the stopping place
over night, Mr.. Longstreth sal. that II
possible the run between Boston and
Montreal would be made in two days. II,
however, the run and the condition Of
the roads was considered too hard a trip a
c!rcuitous route would be taken and Bur-
lington would be the resting place This
viii probably be decided when the party
