CATCHING HORRIBLES.
Fourth Of July Committee On The
Alert For Any Good Feature
For Celebration.

The special committee arranging
for st. Jihnsbury's Fourth of July
celebration is busy these days and
any good attraction is not allowed
to escape them. There are to be some
contests of real merit on that day.
The firemen are training for the hose
races and it looks now as though
they would gain such proficiency that
they may go into the state 6renen S
association. In addition to these
there will be fire drill by the whole
department.
A tug of war always interests a
crowd and they have agreed to pick
a team out of the great numIer OF
employesaat Speewell Farms to pull
against the best aggregation St.
Johnsbury can secure and that will be
pulling some.
All the fraternal orders are res
ponding well to the invitation to JOIN
the parade and the boy scouts will
make a display. There will also be
a fine showing of decorated automo-
biles.
For fireworks something very novel
is planned. The old days of sky
rockets, have gone and there will be
some of the greatest explosions that
ST. Jonnsbury has ever seen.
Everything is looking favorable to
a successful exhibition and everyone
who wishes to celebrate will find the
opportunity here.

PRODUCTION OF COAL
SHOWS AN INCREASE
Output for 1910 Hampered Only
by Strike of Miners in
Several Fields.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-The production
between 475. 1000 900 and ass 900. 900 short
tons. considerable increase over the out
put OF 459 97l5,704 short tons in 1909 and
near the previous record Of 4s0. 1863. .024
tons produced In 1907.
This estimate was made by Edward w
Parker from reports received by the
United States geological survey from coal
mine operators and others familiar with
the industry.
THE most important factor influencing
the coal mining industry In l910.' says
Mr.. Parker, was tho prolonged strike In
Illinois and the southwestern states. This
strike. or suspension. which started on
wage scale. w not settled until Sep
tembcr Is. and a.tcr that much time was
lost in puttiug The mines into condition
for operation, that the period OF Idle
ness was fully six months.
"The settlement was IL practical sur
render OF the operators to the demands OF
| the miners, with an increase OF 5.65 per
| cent In wages.
| "a similar increase was granted In other
| states. either before che strike or during
| the suspension or subsequent 10 IT. Dur

were on strike in Illinois obtained en-

FROM AERIAL CONTESTS

LONDON. Jan. 2.-Robcrt Lorraine. the
actor. who has also been doing something
In the way OF aviation during the last
year. has withdrawn all his entries in
the flying contests for the coming year
Lorraine last September tried to cross the
Irish channel from Holyhead. He had
almost reached the irish coast when his
aeroplane fell into the sea and he SWAN
ashore.
In an interview today on the frequent
fatalities attending aviation, Lorraine
said the distressing feature was that
most of the accidents were due To some
form of carelcssness on the part OF the
aviator. He considered the worst dan
ger was over confidence and that eternal
vigilance Is the pilots price OF safety.
"Abovc ALL" he added. "aviutors must
resist the tendency To allow the control
OF the machine 10 become automatic. lie
explained that his own withdrawn had
no direct connection with the heavy
death roll but was due to private rea-
sons.

THE HARVESTER LOWERS
EIGHT HARNESS RECORDS

NV YORK, Jan. 2.-As result
of the harness racing season during the
year Just drawing TO a close, the world 3
championship tables have undergone
tweuty-nine changes, of which twenty
four arc for trotting and FIVE for pacing
honors.
The greatest of the years champions
is The Harvester, who has lowered
eight records, five of which were held
up to this year by Creseus for nine
wears. The performances of The Har.
vester have now completely wiped off
the name of Creseus from the cham
pionship lists, the last of his marks to
be lowered being that for two miles.
The old mark of ALT is now replaced
by 4:15h.
The oldest record to go by the board
is thata of Arion (2;10M), as two
vear.old trottng colt, mark WHICH
Justice Brooks reduced To e;0e1a. The
fastest record OF the year Is, of course,
that of Uhlan. who trotted mile IN
l:5S& at the North Randall, o., track,
and who set the world s record below
the two.minute mark for the first time
without the assistance Of wind shield
or q runner in front.
