Fine New Stone Shed to be Built.
Hooker and Son to Reopen
Clark Shop for Jones
and Shields.

Jones and Shields, wood workers,
who were burned out in the recent
fire, have taken a lease of the old
Clark shop on the north side of the
river at o. v. Hooker and Sons plant
and will establish their business
there. The Hookers will extensively
remodel the Clark mill and build a
new paint shop 80 x40 feet and
three stories high. The paint shop
and mill will be connected by a
bridge and elevators put in each
building. They will also construct
for Jones and Shields a dry house,
boiler room and shaving house
separate from the main mill
thus giving them fully
equipped plant and arranged SO they
can do their business most advan-
tageously They will have 35 horse
power of water power for their use
if they require that much. This
means plenty of power and with this
improved plant and greatly in
creased yard room the Jones and
Shields plant will be a larger and
better equipped industry than ever.
Hooker and Son are making other
improvements at their mills. In
their office building they are putting
in elevators so they can use two more
floors than formerly as ware and
sales rooms. They are adding a
complete line of transmission to
their stock and as soon as their
rooms are ready will carry as large
and varied line of this branch of
machinery as any firm in New Eng
land.
A New Stone Shed.
The st. Johnsbury Electric Com
pany has begun work on a new stone
shed, 80 by 80 feet in dimensions, for
use by the firms which were burned
out at the recent fire. Only one shed
will be built as the three firms doing
business before the fire have COM
bined and are to incorporate and
management in the future. The
three firms are Conley and Vernon,
the Union Granite Co., and the Elite
Granite Co. The shed will be con-
structed on the most modern plans
and will have a travelling crane and
all other equipment necessary in the
conduct of a large up-to-date busi-
ness.
New Building Nearly Ready.
G. H. Cross and Co., who have
been building an addition to their
shop and store on Railroad street,
25 feet wide and 130 feet deep, three
stories nigh in front and two in the
rear, are already moving into the
rooms and expect to be settled in
about two weeks Although the ad-
dition furnishes a large amount of
room they expect to use the whole
of it for office and store as soon as 1T
is ready.

An alarm was rung in Thursday
evening from box So for what was
thought to be serious fire in the o. Y.
Hooker & Sons plant. There was trou-
bic with the boiler and when it blew off,
the escaping, steam, rising to the height
of several hundred feet, so closely re
sembled smoke that it is not strange
that it should have been mistaken for a
fire.
The ST. Johnsbury steam laundry
has been sold by F. J. Babcock to W. S.
Chesley and ]. J. O'Connell of Concord

undecide d.
There came near being bad fire the
same night that the false alarm was
rung in. Mrs. Lena Owen, who lives in
the block on Railroad street owned by
Mrs. Carrie Daniels. was awakened al
one o'clock by the smell of smoke but
neither she nor the other people living or
that floor could find any fire. A tele
phone message brought T. D. Pidgeon
who occupies a store on the ground hooi
and the fire was found to be in the cellar
It is thought to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion in some waste
matter and when discovered the fire had
spread to the woodwork and in a very
short time would have been a serious
matter. Water was used by the people
/ living in the house and a telephone mes
sage to the police station brought chem
icals with which the blaze was quickly
extinguished.
| The National Flooring Co. held its
annual meeting on Wednesday and re

The annual meeting of the Gale
donia Forest and Stream Club will
be held in Pythian Hall on Eastern
Avenue at one O'Clock, Wednesday
afternoon, Feb. /. There will be an
election of officers and discussion
of plans for the coming year.
In the letter giving notice of the
meeting is one calling attention to
the fact that applications for fish to
be planted in 1911 should be pre-
sented at an early date. The neces-
sary blanks can be obtained of John
w. Titcomb, commissioner, and pres
ident of the club, Lyndonville, and
also of the u. S. Bureau of Fisheries,
Washington, d. G.

pared to distribute brook trout fry
and fngerlings, as well as lake trout
and handbook salmon for the larger
lakes. These will be sent out from
May to October. The United States
Bureau of Fisheries will distribute,
probably in April, wall-eyed pike and
yellow perch. Later in the season
this bureau will be in condition to
ship brook trout, handbook salmon,
large and small mouth black bass,
wall-eyed pike and yellow perch, all
suited TO the waters of Caledonia
county.

Looks Like Direct Tax.

In response to a request from Mr..
Wall of Dorset that the ways and
means committee make a statement
to the House as to the present sta
tus of money to be appropriated by
the present Legislature, Mr.. Fletcher
of Cavendish reported that of the
100000 on hand available for
special appropriations by the pres
ent Legislature, already $350,000
had been appropriated. This does
not include appropriation bills that
have not passed both houses, and
been signed by the Governor. In re-
gard to additional revenue he said
the only thing in sight was the di-
rect Inheritance tax, and the fate of
that bill is still pending in the SEN
ate Should this become law he
thought the State could probably
get along without a state tax if no
further appropriations were made.
The general committee of the
house has introduced a bill which
provides that counsel and agents
who are interested in the bills before
the legislature must register with
the sergeant-at-arms, give the name
of their employer, and the bills in
which they are interested. The bill
carries a penalty of not less than
500 and not more than 81, 900 for
noncompliance.
Constitutional Changes.
The house has adopted the nine
proposals of amendment to the
State Constitution.
Proposal one was rejected by the
Senate
Proposal two requires a two-thirds
vote to pass a bill over the COVER
nor's veto.
Proposal three provides for the
State election in November and the
Legislature to convene the first We'd
nesday after the first Monday in
January.
Proposal four provides that five
members of the House and one of the
Senate shall be necessary to de-
mand the yeas and nays.
Proposal five takes away from the
Legislature, their power to commute
the death sentence.
Proposal six makes members of the
Legislature ineligible to office by
election in the body of which they
are member.
Proposal seven provides that no
special charter be granted by the
Legislature.
Proposal eight changes the title of
judges of the supreme court to JUS
tees.
Proposal nine requires that the
General Assembly pass laws COM
pelling compensation for injuries.
Proposal ten provides that the
judges of the supreme court re-
write the constitution Incorporating
these amendments when they shall
be finally adopted.
May Adjourn January 20.
The joint committee on final ad-
iournment made its report last week
recommending that the two
houses adjourn without day at eight
O'Clock Wednesday morning, Janu-
ary 25. This report was made in
both houses and was ordered to lie,
but it is thought the business of the
session can be completed by that date.
The House killed without blush
the bill providing that the pay of the
members of the General Assembly
shall be $500 for the session. The
bill was adversely reported by the
Joint committee on state and court
expenses. At 81 per day the pay of
the members of the present legisla-
ture already exceeds $500.

HAD SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
Caledonia County Fair Association
Has Reduced Indebtedness.
Directors Reelected

The Caledonia County Fair was
fortunate in rounding out its year
with profit of slightly more than
one thousand dollars. A complete
financial statement is submitted be-
low for the benefit of the public, with
whom the Fair Ground manage
ment considers itself in partner
ship. The result of the 1910 Fair
would indicate that the public
thought it was good show, and
such it undoubtedly proved. The
constantly increasing interest in the
development of Vermont's agricul-
tural resources means much to this
and other fairs. The possibilities of
the Fair in the way of instruction to
the farmers, and the spreading of
ming to be- grasped. 1t is not mere
ly a huge public picnic, but an educa-
tional institution, and as such
should be encouraged by the state
and patronized by all the people.
The annual meeting of the Fair
Ground Company was held in the
Merchants National Bank on Janu-
ary 18th. The old board of direc-
tors was reelected: T. r. Stiles, w.
L Powers, T. N. Vail, A. j. Higgins,
H. A. Stanley, J. D. Stevens, T. A.
Meader, Joseph Fairbanks, George
C. Cary, w. A. Kicker, Charles w.
Ruiter, but no meeting for organiza-
ton and election of officers has yet
been held.

SHOREY AN ORATOR.
Made Effective Speech Before Leg
isIature. Work of the Past
Week.

Both houses of the legislature met
Monday evening after the Sunday re-
cess. The feature of the session in
the house was the maiden speech of
w. A. Shorey of Lyndon on House
bill providing that railway corpora
tions shall not hire for locomotive
engineers men who have served less
than three years as iremen. Mr..
Shorey is locomotive engineer of
80 years experience and in favor of
this bill spoke. Incidentally, he drove
Mr.. Ives of Mount Holly into his
boots by refuting the argument of
that gentleman that a man could
easily learn to run an engine from
schools and books. The bill was
passed.

Victory for Normal Schools.


The normal schools won an over
Whelming victory in the house Fri
day, when a substitute measure was
ordered to third reading by a
strong vote The bill in its present
form provides that the State shall
erect at Johnson a dormitory not to
exceed in cost $4,000, provided the
town of Johnson contributes the
site, that the State shall lease all
normal school property at Johnson
for SO years; the village of Johnson
to furnish the dormitories with wat
er and electricity free of any ex-
pense to the State. The amendment
carries an appropriation of $4,000
for the support of the Johnson
school. 1t also provides for the pur-
chase by the State of the normal
school property, real and personal,
at Castleton at an expense not to ex-
ceed $4,000, and makes an appro-
priation of $4,000 annually for the
Castleton school.
