GOVERNMENT TO USE SHEEP
AS ERADlCATORS OF WEEDS

Spokane, Wash, March 25.-Five
hundred head of sheep and an expe-
rienced herder will be employed this
season in an endeavor to eradicate
thistles and weeds on the banks of
the Sunnyside canal, a federal gov
eminent irrigation project in central
Washington. The animals will go over
The ground three times during the
growing period. Afterward the banks
Will be seeded with white clover and
bluegrass
Stephen o. Jayne of Spokane, whose
Investigations for the United States
department of Agriculture, include the
maintenance and operation or irriga-
tlon canals in this district, said in
making the foregoing announcement
mat 1t cost the management of the
Sunnyside project several thousand
dollars last year to destroy weeds and
growths along the canal right-of-way.

COAL MINE INSPECTOR
MAKES ANNUAL REPORT

Olympia, March 25.-During the
year 1910 the total output OF the coal
mines of Washington amounted to
3,979,569 tons of 1000 pounds each.
|as compared with 3,59O,639 tons in
1909. The value of the coal output
last year was $10,266,399, which is
more than $1,OOO,O00 greater than the
value of the 1909 output. In addition
to this more than $4,000 tons Of coke
were produced The value of the coal
at the mine was s2.57A per ton, which
was quarter cent increase over 1909.
Forty-three Men Killed.
During 1910 there were forty-three
men killed, as compared with thirty
nine men in 1909. In 1910 eighteen
wives were made widows and twenty.
six children made orphans, while in
the preceding year twenty-five became
widows and sixty-one children or
phans.
One man was killed for every 3d.
900 tons of coal mined and 108 men
were hurt, or one for every $4,000 tons
of coal produced.
Each man produced an average of
661 tons in 1910, which is a greater
average for the SOFA men employed
than in any year since 1903, when
each worker produced 674 tons OF
coal.
These figures are made public by
D. C. Betting, state mine inspector,
who has just filed with Gov. Hay his
report for the two-year period ending
December 81, 1910.
He pays particular attention in his
Seattle and hopes before long to have
bosses better able to test the gases
in the mines so as to prevent acct.
dents.
He states that the year 1910 would
have made an excellent showing, ex
cept for the Lawson mine disaster at
Black Diamond, in which sixteen men
were killed. Five of the bodies have
not been recovered.

Dom ManueI's scrappy Dog.

Two ladies walking in Richmond
Park, London. about week ago were
Mortified to have the little black and
white terrier that accompanied them
suddenly set upon by fierce and very
much in earnest bulldog. The ladies
shrieked and the master Of the bull
dog appeared at once and proceeded
to separate the combatants, using .
whip freely and pulling his dog away
from the smaller animal.
When the terrier had been restored
to his owner the young gentleman
raised his hat and apologized humbly
for the trouble his dog had caused and
expressed the hope that the little ter
rier would not suffer from his rough
treatment and that the ladies would
recover from their alarm. Whereupon
the two ladies discovered that the pal
lid young man who was 80 very cour-
teous was none other than the de-
throned king of Portugal. Dom Man

The Chinese newspapers, which are

Japan and France will not be long in

Now, Miss Helen had never seen
that man before in her life. His name

man and a wealthy man, and with
it all he was a man of cheek. Not an
impudent, impertinent man, but just
cheek. Pure cheek isn't a half-bad
thing. Many persons suffer from not
having enough Of it. Brix and friend
were strolling on the street and caught
sight of Miss Helen. It was under

in cash by Duveen Bros. he would rec
ommend that the government drop the
civil action for $5,000,000 against the
firm and release the seized art goods
now held. This also would release
from civil liability all purchasers from
the firm.
AS the firm made the proposition to
settle for $1,2O0,000, the government
officers expect they will, in few days,
deposit the cash as required by Mr..
Wise. This settlement will not in any

Dr.. Sterns Retires from Business

DR.. Isaac Sterns, who for 21 years
past has conducted the Park Drug store
on Main street in this village, has sold
out his business to John L. Slater of
Bradford. DR.. Sterns has been one of
Middlebury's most foremost and con-
scientious business men and his depar-
ture from business life will be deeply
regretted by his many friends and busi-
ness associates. DR.. Sterns is at this
time undecided as to his future plans,
but he will remain in Middlebury for
some time. He came to this village
from Rutland and opened the above
mentioned drug store, which he has
conducted ever since. His successor in
business is one of Bradfords most
prominent druggists. Mr.. Slater ex-
poets to take possession in about ten
days or two weeks and will move his
family here as soon as he can close up
his business affairs at Bradford

FRESH AIR CHILDREN.
More Money Needed to Pay Ex-
penses of Little Ones.

Middlebury applied to the Tribune for
eighteen fresh air children and received
twenty-four. On examining the tickets
it was found that four of the children
were intended for Salisbury. This in
creased number has more than used up
the money in hand. Twenty-Five dol
lars and fifty cents has been received,
but S12 so more is needed, as seven
children must be paid for for the two
weeks. If, by any chance, this S12. 80
should be doubled, the extra money
will be gratefully received and no ques-
tions answered as to what is done with
it. See? Early responses are desirable
as the children return to New York
