Cold Storage Fish Plant.

Announcement that arrangements have been concluded with a large United States packing concern to es- tablish and operate five cold-storage plants in Newfoundland, for fish and fish products. has been made
 The company proposes to erect these plants at it's own expense within the next five years. Each plant will cost s100,0 or more and one year is to be built and started, the whole to be op- erated for 15 years. The company proposes to erect within the same pe- riod five smokehouses, five fish pack ing factories, two glue factories, and two guano factories, whereby they will be able to utilize the by-products of the main industry. A packing house and smoBehouse are to be erected each year, and glue and guano factories every two years.
 Provision has also been made for a floating plant, instead of 8 station on land, which can be moved around the coast from place to place, and thus avail of the fishery possibilities of the northern section of the coast, which is icebound for part of the year, and

COMPULSORY PROHIBITION.

ft is wonderful how arbitrary gov ernnent has become up among the Green Mountain boys It is sup posed that when a community votes for license anywhere fin New England that it's will must be respected. Not 90 In Vermont. West Rutland voted license and finds prohibition the rule Complaint was made 10 the Rutland News and this Is what The News says about 1t:
 The voters are certainly not to blame. They voted to have license. The selectmen are the only ones who can be held responsible for failure to have the wishes of the people carried out But it is doubtful whether the license majority can do anything about it further tbsn to take it out of tho selectmen b. telling them the uncomphmentarv things they think of tirem. It is doubtful if the seleetmen can be removed for their carelsssness lt would be difficult to show that the town had been damaged by the fail- ure to have license even when rbe people wanted it"
 Some people think they are doing better for the town by disrespecting fhc will of the people than they could co by respecting it. Every old tyrant of the past has thought this same thing. The will of the people is the thing to abide by 1T we prize freedom. Anything contrary to this is taking the wrong road.

fish, They all taste the same. A cat fish tastes just like trout, and a trout tastes like a. shark When a fish is alive it spends all it's time in the wax q aud so the flavor gets washed cut, and when you cook the blamed thing it tastes like a piece of pine scantling Pork and mutton and beef are had enough, but fish is worse. Don't ever mention fish to me again if you want my trade Why don't you go somewhere and kill an elk or a reindeer? The other evening was reading a story about some hunters out in the wilderness, and how they cooked some Nenison steaks over a fire. Well, sir. the description of those steaks made me hungry for venison, and ] called up every meat market in town and tried to get some, and couldn't.
 Now, just consider that state of af- fairs. There's something wrong when hunters out in the wilderness can have luxuries that money won't buy here among the skyscrapers.
 ssPll bet horse that those hunters would have been glad to trade their whole stock of venison for a couple. of pounds of porterhouse steak.
 Well, you'd lose. The book said explicitly that the hunters went into the wilderness in order to get away from the beef and mutton and pork butchers. They stood beef and mutt ton and pork until patience ceased to be virtue. A man from Texas told me the other day that the peccary makes fine eating when properly cook ed. Why don't you send to Texas and get peccary for your exhausted cus- toners ?'
 If I did the customers would be putting bombs under my residence. Suppose you try one of these spring chickens P

MINERALOGlCAL COLLECTION
 GOES TO TRINITY.

Through the generosity of Mrs. John H. Caswell of New York Trinity college has recently come into pos session of the valuable collection of minerals gathered during his lifetime by the late George Henry Caswen. Mir. Caswell was graduated from Co., lumbia in 1865. and during the three following years studied at the old Mining academy at Freiberg in Ger many Here he became an enthusias- tic and intelligent student of miner alogy. and on his return to the Unit ed States took the position of assist ant in mineralogy in the newly organ ized Columbia School of Mines. This position he held for a number of years, and during this time was en- gagged in making for the United States government a microscopic xamination of the rocks and minerals which had been brought back from the Black Hills.
 The collection as it now stands lifetime of enthusiastic collecting by a scientist. It contains about 1000 specimens scientifically arranged and illustrates very completely the typical crystal forms and their variations for large range of mineral species.
 Among the specimens of more gen. eral interest are the following: A large crystal topaz weighing 16.1 ounces which was considered so re- markable as to be photographed by Tiffany & Co.,; several large crystals of the transparent pink tourmaline from Pala, Cal; large boulder of jade from China weighing 16 pounds; specimens of the rare mineral kunzite named after George F. Kunz, the gem expert of Tiffany & Co.,, and used ex- tenstvely by that company as gem stone; and fine specimens of groups of na tural crystals of native gold.
 The collection has been received at the college but is not yet on public exhibition

this also provides against a possible shortage of fish in any vicinity.
 An option has already been secured on the whaling plant at Lark Harbor, Bay of Islands, where the company will erect it's first establishment. This plant was constructed several years ago, at an outlay of $40,000, and. as an immense herring trade is done in the vicinity. the outlook is most prom fsing.
 The company asks for free entry of machinery and equipment and for grants of free Crown lands for fac tories. timber areas for box and bar rel making, and water powers for op- erating and lighting. The colony is to be asked to guarantee one and a half per cent. interest annually on the buildings and plant, up to $500, ,0o0. and to make up any shortage in a 5 per cent. dividend on the operations of the concern.-Consul James S.

| WORKMAN WHO WAS APPREcI-
 ATED.

Obeying orders is something the average workman will not do to the letter; but one of the qualities prized by men who employ help is a strict interpretation and execution of in- structions of all kinds. We print the following story from the pen of The Saunterer' of the Worcester Post, as an illustration of what may happen in a corpora tion
 "'Hey. you! Get out of this eleva- tor. You can't So up in this,' declared a crusty looking man to an innocent looking individual who had stepped into one of the freight elevators in 3 big manufacturing plant not far from Union station There was some argu- ment. and the elevator man at last fairly pushed the man out of the eleva- tor, declaring that it was orders, and he wasn't going to take any chances. The man who had been ejected pulled his necktie into place and adjusted his coat, and then with a smile passed up a flight of stairs that led to the general managers ofice. Say, Bill said fellow employe who had seen the incident, to the elevator man. that sguy you threw out of the elevator was the president of the company-so you might just as well hand in your res ignation.' l was curious enough to visit the building again in about q week afterward, and to my surprise saw that the elevator man was still on -his job, and upon being questioned Said that he had received a g raise in his weekly pay"
 This is rather a rare case of merit; but it shows what may happen to a man who takes his orders straight and executes them. The soldier on picket duty doesn't have to recognize the general in command; and why should the elevator man be expected to know the president of the company? The president may have ordered his pay raised.

The Best is the Cheapest

From at least one grocery store in Bennington butter brought from Illi- nois is being retailed. The proprietor of tn. store states he finds it impossi- ble to buy enough first class butter in this section to supply his trade. It is rather strange commentary on the farming industry in dairying state like Vermont that it is found necessary to send hundreds of miles away to get butter when the price of that product is as high as it has been during recent years The same dealer also states that of the butter made in this section a considerable part will not bring a first class price owing to the inferior quality. Every producer of butter should learn first that it costs no more to produce high grade butter than it does to produce low grade and if he finds he is not getting the best price he should not sleep nights until he discovers why and cor rects his mistake.-Bennington Ban ner.
