Reciprocity Campaign In Canada.

The opening gun in the campaign

iprocity pact between the United states
and Canada was fired at Ottawa, ont,
Sunday by the liberal leader, Sir VIII
frid Iaurier 1t was in the form of an
open address to the Canadian people
and in 1t is set forth very clearly the Is
sues involved in the present campaign
The question at issue is not a new one,
Sir Wilfrid asserts, reciprocal relations
with the United States having been
sought by both parties for over half
century. The present conservative par
4y. he declared. is seeking to reverse
{ Ais lifelong policy of its leaders of the
ybast. The enactment of the agreement
the premier predicts, would further I'M
nrove the friendly relations existing be-
tween Great Britain, Canada and the
United States. and would be an impor--
tant factor in bringing about general
treaty of arbitration

BIG DERRICK AT STATION FELL.
Guy Wire May Have Been Cut by Dis
charged ltallan-Estey Plant Forced to
Return to Steam Power.

The breaking of a guy wire on the
derrick on the ledge opposite the rail-
road station Monday morning about s
o'clock stopped traffic on the Brattle-
boro street railway line until after
o'clock caused the Estey Organ plant
to be shut down several hours and blew
out a transformer in the power station
at the Vernon dam. The workmen en-
gagged on the job on the ledge had been
at work about. an hour and were trying
to dislodge a heavy piece of stone with
the aid of the derrick. Without warn
ing one of the guy wires broke and eX-
erted an extra strain on the others and
they snapped one by one Some of them
crossed the power wires from the YER
non dam and the short circuit on the
line burned out the smallest of the
transformers in the power station. The
Estey organ shops receive their power
from this transformer and the wheels
stopped moving there. the street cars
stopped and the employees of the Twin
state Gas & Electric company and the
Connecticut River Power company be-
gan to hustle around to start things
moving.
There was enough water in West river
to allow the power station in Dummers-
ton to generate enough current to run
the electric cars and supply electric
light service to the subscribers here,
out not enough 10 supply power at lic
organ shops. When it was learned
there that no power would be available
for several hours fires were built under
the boilers and enough steam made to
run part Of the machines but not all
of the plant could be operated and some
of the men went home. About 8 o'clock
the electric cars began running trips on
schedule time. The derrick was not put
in position until Tuesday and the men
in charge found it difficult to get it
raised. None of the laborers were in
the path of the derrick when it fell and
nobody was injured, but while it was
being raised the Italians kept watch of
the tall pole and were prepared to run
at the least sign of danger.
1t is said that G. NJ Norbert and L,
G. Howell, who have charge of the work
on the ledge, have received letters from
discharged Italians threatening to do
damage at the scene of operations on
the ledge, and it is thought that be-
tween Saturday night and Monday morn
ing a discharged Italian may have gone
to the ledge and cut guy wire partly
in two, thus weakening it and causing
it to break when a heavy strain was
put upon it. When the guy wires fell
across the electric wires there was a
display of electricity that lasted several
minutes.

Section Of Green Mountains Rarely Visit
ed Except for Business Purposes-Re-
glon Of Charming Scenery.


with all the interest that is being
centred on the Green Mountains of Yer
mont at the present moment, there is a
section OF these mountains, away from
even the three valleys that radiate from
Burlington, to which comparatively few
travellers ever get save those having
business relations with the district or
towns, the extreme southern portion.
Here the mountains rise to nearly four
thousand feet with mazes so intricate
in their secluded valleys that the rail-
way has not yet dared penetrate them.
In this region rise Haystack, Somerset,
Glastonbury and Stratton, the peers of
Equinox, itself not much inferior to
Camers Hump or Mansfield. From the
south from Massachusetts at the Hoosac
Tunnels mouth, there penetrated some
years ago little railway to Readsboro,
extended in these later days to Will
mington and now reaching out its fin
gers to grasp Haystack, but even this
has a struggle for physical existence, for
the cliffs and the river dispute the right
of way, and a stone dropped from Pulpit
Rock and falling almost plumb it's thou
sand feet will miss the railway entirely.
Here is a region of charming woods,
picturesque cliffs, alpine roads on which
one must look directly down to see the
horses, for the power of the automobile
is here set at naught, where there are
IlOatlnB ISLANDS IN the pOndS giant DOul-
ders in the woods, and sad to relate,
whole deserted villages on the hills.
Nottingham has thus mounted guard
above the Deerfield this thirty years,
with ministerless church, scholarless
schools, tenantless houses, all of them of
serviceable quality, because the railway
made to the valleys beyond a quicker
and more profitable route, The busy
mills of Wilmington hum beneath the
shadow of Haystack, the sister peak of
Greylock, often taken for the latter in
the distant view from the summit of
Washington. From the east this county
is accessible from Brattleboro and the
Connecticut river by climbing first at
Ames hill or Higley to the great ter
race that to the east has no barrier to
its prospects and includes in its marvel
Gus views the peaks from old Monad-
mock to the Presidential Range. Here
there is as yet but little to mark the in
fluX of the summer horde, although such
transformations as Ray Pond to Raponda
suggest that some of the Vermont Bar
kisses are wiling.-[The Mountaineer, by

Vermont National Guard Waning?

Is it a fact that the ardor of the YER
mont National Guard is waning? If it
is, can it be wondered at in the light
of the inadequate provision the state
makes for armories? The Bennington
company is practically upon the point
of being disbanded while Company II in
MONTPELIER is striving nightly to retain
its full quota which can only be kept
up by recruiting outside the city.
Barre's experience with her fine Com
pany e is being duplicated and a serious
condition menaces the state. There
should be enough interest taken by the
state in whether she Is to retain an
available national guard as to induce the
authorities to provide suitable armories
for housing the equipment of the various
companies and for drill purposes These
are indispensable to the maintenance OF
an effective military force.-lRutland
