life of service to ones fellow men.
The Indian scene was the feature OF
the play. over 90 braves and squaws

by Weather Bureau.

The instrumental shelter. peculiarly
known as weather kiosk. which local
Forecastor John K. Hooper hopes to in
duCe the United states government TO
erect in Burlington, will If lie succeeds,
be located on the east side OF City Hall
Park. directly opposite the Stannard Me
mortal building. This site was chosen
last evening at meeting Of the Bur
lngton Commercial club. Mr. Hooper
stated to Free Press man that there are
only two kioslts in New England like the
one lie proposes to erect in this city, they
being in Boston and Hartford.

everything but the site, although it is
presumed that the city will have to pay

To secure the location. written permission
will have TO be secured from the board
of park commissioners.

than last year Is the opinion of Mr. Eddy.
How do the butter-making interests look
,pon the wholesale selling of milk to the
city milk deaers?" Mr.. Eddy was asked.
Naturally" was the reply. they do not
look favorably upon It,"
Mr.. Eddy is of the opinion, however,
that the farmers who are selling milk to
the interests in Boston and New York are
rot in danger of being squeezed by such
dealers. lie thinks that If tho city mill,
dealers lower the price given to the farm
ers the latter could Immediately retalatc
lv selling their milk to creameries. The
condensed milk people, he said. are tho
cnly ones who make the farmers sign con.
tracts.
From what Mr.. Eddy hears the hay crop
this season will not be UP to the standard,
although In some parts of the state 1t is
reported as normal. The small hay crop
may affect the price of butter in the win
ter, he agreed, although II Is considered
doubtful.

RAILROAD WANTS 1T.
Stearns Property on Lake shore WOu''
Give COmpnny More Yard Room.

Unonicially Il has been learned that
the Rutland Railroad company, so that
it can extend its yard trackage, is
making an effort to purchase tho
Stcarns property on the lake shore.
As several movements have been made
by citizens to have the city purchase
this land for wharfage, park and
sewer disposal purposes. the alleged
movement on the part of the railroad
company has created more than ordi-
nary interest
Tuesday evening, at the meeting of the
Commercial club, Chauncey W. Brown
oil, who has been interested In having
the city purchase this property de-
clared that he understood that the
Rutland railroad was trying to secure
the property 50 that it might extend
its yard trackage and have more lake
front property.
The rumor is given special signih-
canoe because of the fact that IL is
known that the New York, New Haven
&, Hartford railroad interests, now
concerned with the Rutland railroad,
are trying to arrange for the running
of trains over the Central Vermont
track from Montpelier to Essex juno
ton. When road has been built from
Essex Junction to this city by the New
Haven corporation. as has been pro-
posed, it would give it n through route
from its Montpelier & Wells River di-
vision to this city. The new road
from Essex Junction to Burlington
would make its entrance 10 this CITY
by the south. This would practically
mako the ownership OF the SteGrns
property a necessity, it is said.
It is thought thot added impetus
will be given Immediately to the prop
ostion to have the city purchase the
