over the inQuisitorial features of the
bill, which were at first stricken out,
but which were under discussion when
the committee adjourned, on a motion
to reconsider.
Those who favor giving the commits

that a measure of such authority will
be given. The committee will meet
again Thursday. and ii Is expected the

THE FORT GUNNER MILLS.

A picture of the Fort Drummer Mills
cotton factory which Is being erected on
land just south of Morningside ceme-
terry is published herewith. The work
of construction is well under way, in
charge OF the contractors, the b. F..
Smith Construction company of Paw
tucket, r. l., and while the mill, as
shown in the picture, will be complete
in every way, it is designed so that an
addition may be built to just double its
capacity. Edward G.. Chace of Provi-
dence, r. l., treasurer and general man.
ager of the Fort Drummer Mills corpora
tion, has been in Brattleboro this week
and says the corporation has an idea
that in due time it will be necessary to
build such an addition.
The mill now being built will be 324
feet long and 100 feet wide, and from
the ground to the ridgepole will be so
feet. About 10000 bricks will be used
in erecting the building, also a large
amount of lumber. a boiler house 40
feet square with steel and wrought iron
chimney will be built for heating pur-
poses, and on Fort Drummer Heights a
reservoir having a capacity of 100000
gallons will be constructed to provide a
reserve supply of water for the sprinkler
system of fire protection.
The capacity of the mill will be $4,000
spindles and 6iS looms, and it will be
equipped to its full capacity. The con-
struction work will not be as far adj
vanced by Aug. 1 as was expected when
the contract was let, on account of the
difficulty in securing skilled labor, but
Mr. Chace expects that he will be able
to start a few looms by Nov. Is. The
machinery is being built largely in
Rhode Island, in the cotton mill cities,
but some of it will come from England.
The first of the machinery will be ship
ped to Brattleboro within a few weeks
Mr. Chace plans to come here about
the time the machinery begins to ar
rive and to remain here permanently.
Practically all of the brick work on
the first two stories has been completed
and the elevator shafts at each end of
the building have been built up to the
second floor. In the woodwork the best
quality of Georgia pine is being used.

today is beginning to set back toward a
return to the farms of the East, in which
movement Vermont is already beginning
to share and farming lands in this state
are steadily increasing in value. The
state has never been very popuous be-
cause constant expectation OF some of it's
best Drawn and brain kept the figures
down TO a comparatively low average.
But vermont was raising pretty good
stock all the time, because it is only the
hardy and Daring that emigrate and
pioneer in new and strange lands. YER
mont was lying off the principal beaten
paths Of travel and trade during this ear
ly Formative period OF national develop
ment and was not abe to invite and at
tract so many strangers within her
gates as some of her neighbors have
done. But this, too, is changing as the
active minds in the outside business
world are beginning to see for themselves
some of the industrial and commercial
possibilities IN this state. Then, besides
AL that, Vermont great outdoors in
cludes the most charming summer resort
region in all the East, and people are
gust beginning to find it out.
1t is an unfortunate thing that Mr.
Rossiters figures and the graveyard sig
mitcance that has been attached to them
ishouid nave been given such circulation
ias they have. 1t Is an unfortunate thing
that In the Transcript should have
imagined that his sorry jest about the
young man in Vermont who failed In
everything until he took up the under
taking business, was fair and honorable
resort in painting a faithful picture of
conditions under which neghboring New
England kinsmen live. Vermont has her
faults, her people have many improve
ments to achieve, some betterments con-
stanhy to struggle for; but the conditions
OF life and living here are snug and com
PORTABLE, the people are socially ambi-
tlous' alert. and hopeful, there never was
such a tempting time for the Young YER
moHter to s1ay In his native state and
grow up Win it, and the future holds
out great promise for prosperity and
progress the state has never realized be-
fore.

is a gloomy" statistical picture, isn't

is a gloomy" statistical picture, isn't
it?
Relative size and wealth considered no
state in the Union is more generous in
it's appropriations for the care and ed
ucation of the deaf and dumb, the blind
and the feeble minded. Two great mod
ern asylums for the insane, one owned
by the state, and numerous private re-
treats and sanatoriums testify to the
quality of Vermonts humane policy in
this respect, state sanatorium for the
treatment of tuberculosis, orphan asy-
lums, homes for the aged, up-to date To-
cal hospitals and decent local and county
almshouses scattered all over the state
tell another side of the same story,
while humane societies and kindred vol
unteer philanthropc movements extend
the roll of credit.
Within these same ten years Vermonts
penal system has been thoroughly mod
ernized in many respects and the work
of evolving a still better system is going
on today. Many of the hdeous and de-
grading practices that were a customary
part Of prison discipline in olden days
have been abolished and a very high
minded public purpose now designs that
these institutions shall be as much re-
formatory as punitive in plan.
Such articles as this cannot take into
detailed account the everyday social
the high standard of intelligence. the
lofty conception of public ideals; and the
eleVating quality of social intercourse
generally that are characteristic of them.
But some idea of these conditions may
be inferred from the record of govern
mental achievement that has beeA only
partially recited. There is something of
depressing rural isolation in parts of
Vermont, to be sure, as there is in every
state, but it is by no means the fear
some thing that g. weaVes out of
Mr. Rosster's figures. The Vermont
farmer today often lives under more
prosperous conditions and with more
snug physical comforts than many of
his village neighbors. He has telephone,
electric lights. and all manner of do
mestic conveniences that his ancestors
never dreamed of, while Uncle Sam s
rural free delivery brings the mail to
his doorstep daily. On his table will Of
ten be found a larger assortment of cur
rent literature and high-class reading
matter than most people in Boston think
they have time to glance at.
The tendency of population in Vermont
to gravitate from the countryside to
the villages and cities need not to be
emphasized by MIR. Rossiter or anybody
else to the states discredit or to nten-
sify any statistical picture Of gloom.
Precisely the same thing is going on in
every state in the union Right now in
Massachusetts the press has been dis
GUESSING the very identical problem in the
Bay state. The tendency TO leave the
fields and buiId cities Is as old as the
story of the human race. 1t has brought
upon Europe a tremendous economic
problem that her wisest craftsmanship
has not solved. 1t will do the same
thing for America unless we prove our
selves more gifted with wisdom than
any of the human family that hare
lived and died before us. Why single
out Vermont, then, as a horrible ex-
ample?
