Chamber up the ladders at peril OF their
lives, perhaps. Because Of the delay in
getting ladders against the burning
building, the loss on the property was
larger than it would have been had the
fremen been given reasonable assistance
from street lights, assistance that would
have been valuable in permitting them
to work with greater rapidity.
Therefore, it seems to us that the
city owes it to the fire department TO
render whatever assistance it can in the
hazardous and very important work Of
protecting property; and it can lend that
assistance by providing street lights for
longer period of each night, and in no
other way. Private citizens may be left
TO founder about in the darkness, break

contact with sides of buildings, and Wis

white River functions Great Loss.

Is there any other building in YER
mont with which more people are fa-
miliar than the so-ealled Union station
at White River Junction, which was
destroyed by fire yesterday For White
River Junction is the news capital of
Vermont. From other states the news
comes with either the date line of the
capital, or of the chief city. But when
the September elections roll around each
alternate year, and the country is list
ening for the verdict of Vermont, 1t
bears the date line white River juno
tion," and actually comes from the old
station which went down in flames yes
terday. For this is where the railroads
and the wires converge from many di-
rections. 1t is this very conveyance
which has made the station well and
widely known to the travelling public.
An incidental title to fame is its near
ness to Dartmouth college. In time an
electric car line from Hanover, four
miles away, will give the college town
the benefit of the superb railroad con-
neetions of this junction point instead
of leaving it dependent on the accom-
mediation train tout of White River,

Value of Apple Grating.

In recent days the Vermont papers
have much to say in advocacy Of apple
growing in the state and they one and
all urge the Vermont farmer 10 plant
more trees and continue the work by
careful and intelligent cultivation, all
the while assuring the aforesaid Yer
mont farmer that there is good mon
ey" in the investment and labor.
A few moons ago The Landmark told
of farmer here in the White river
valley who, four years ago, found a
little wild sapling apple tree on his
land and grated the same to the Nc
lntosh Red. In the four years the one
single scion let live, has grown from
the point at which il was grated to a
height of ten feet and two inches and
the diameter of the spread of its
branches is in excess of six feet. This
season, the first of its bearing, the tree
produced and matured 2S apples, and
every one beauty, large, high colored,
and free from blemish and now stored
away 10 the farmers cellar for Christ
mas eating.
The site of the tree in question is
waste land that is, land not wanted for
cultivation. No expense, save the work
of grating and two applications OF
ashes. has been incurred in the care and
growing of the tree. On one occasion
in the past summer its owner said that
come another two years and the yield
OF the three would be at least a bushel
Of apples. The 2s apples the tree pro-
duced this season were of the kind that
the Boston consumer is paying at the
rate of SO per barrel for in these pres
ent days, that the Boston retailer is
paying for at the rate of So per barrel.
That the Vermont farmer receives only
from $l.50 to $l.75 for these same APP
plies, is wholly his fault, and IL il
condition in eompletest harmony with a
lot of other things that he permits to
be erammed down his throat, and viii
continue to be until he musters the
gumption 10 read the riot act.
Some one is saying that the apple
tree is poem. If it is such anywhere
II is in Vermont, for here its blossom
is most brilliant, and as respects the
Mcintosh Red tree and apple are alike
full of beauty and symmetry. The lit
tie tree of which we are speaking was
a season long source of pleasure to its
owner, not because of the money value
of its apples but because Of the genuine
pleasure he found in observing the
growth of the tree, the development of
its first crop Of apples and the solid
satisfaction that came from the anti
cipation Of future seasons OF bloom
and bearing. In fact the tree and its
owned were Of the same household.
But the question We would ask Of
those Of our contemporaries who are
preaching apple culture is this: Did it
pay in the instance Of this little wild
sapling apple treef Please answer.

1t is quite rarity for sheriff to oecu-

believe If any man succeeds in bcttcring
humanity the pulpit is very hitting
place where he should impart his experi-

has more experience with men than
sheriff? Sheriff Tracy has gained CON
siderable notoriety by simply treating
prisoners as if they were human beings

success in this direction, not only to

WINKING AT COLLEGE DEPREDA-
TI0NS.

The people of the college town of New
Haven have the faculty of slurring owe.
the misdemeanors Of the college youth
with remarkable degree of equanimity
The case at hand is a riot among stu
dents, police and theatre management,
in which the students succeeded in doing
hundreds and thousands of dollars dam
age to property Of others, followed by
the arrest of few who were allege,l
to have been partly responsible for the
performance. Now on top of all that
comes the information that the cases
will probably be dropped, for some rea-
son which is as yet shrouded in mys-
terry If the alleged offenders were not
members of an almost sacred college
community, one might wonder that the
accused should 90 scot-free without tho
semblance of trial Other college towns
have occurrences of this sort, but few
of them take the offenses so much a
matter of course as New Haven does. II
seems that New Haven people must re-
solve at the opening OF each college year

for the exuberanee' of the youngsters
who come into their midst to spend four

How Theodore Roosevelt Upset Black
Coffee on Mrs. Senator La Follette's
Gown.
In the course OF his autobiography in
the December American Magazine, SEN
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin relates
his earliest impressions OF Theodore
Roosevelt, and tells an amusing story.
Following is brief extract from the
autobiography:
1T was during the speakership fight
between Tom Reed and Mckinley In
which the interest of the country was
intense, that first met Theodore Roose-
welt. He was at that time civil service
commissioner, and was much interested
in the success Of Reed liked him. /

getie man, but think no one then real
lied the power of growth that was in
him. We were about the same age, we
were both interested In Reeds election,

OF our meetings. Ii was at reception
given BY Secretary Of Agriculture Rusk.

little group which included Lodge and

Roosevelt grew Enthusiastically ami
mated about something he was saying,
and in gesticulating he struck the cup

Years later when | came to Wash

AN INJUSTICE TO BARRE FIREMEN
AGAIN.

AGAIN.
The experience of the Barre iremen
at this mornings FIRE illustrates anew
the unwisdom OF the city's street lighting
policy, which DEGREES that after midnight
the city shall be plunged into darkness.
The alarm was rung in at three o'clock.
At that hour the community was in inky
darkness, relieved here and there by
some private lights, which were kept
burning through the kindness of individ
uals. Fortunately, however, the run of
the apparatus from the central station
to the scene of the fire was not long,
so that the firemen were relieved o.
part Of the handicap of responding to
fire alarms after the midnight hour;
they were not forced to drive through
streets which were little better than
dense wall of blackness.
But on arrival at the scene of the fire
they met with the usual handicap in
working without light. It was com
paratively easy to find the hydrants be-
cause the fremen have the location Of
them well in mind so that, even if blind
they could go to them with reasonable
dispatch. In dealing with the fire itself,
the conditions were different. The chief
trouble was perhaps with the many pub
lie service wires which line South Main
street at that point. The fremen at

themselves in a tangle at once, as it

CURRENT COMMENT
Straight Fare of . Cents Wanted.

The drop in the price of mileage books
on the Montpelier and Wells River road
to two cents per mile will be apreciat-
ed, of course, by people who travel that
way. But it ought to be two cents
per mile, straight fare, on every rail
road in Vermont; and II would be, if
the legislature had the courage of its
convictions Such move, we believe,
would result in not an atom of hardship
for any of the railroads and il must
come, some sweet day.--Ludlow Tribune.
