Rutland County Fish and Game
Banquet.


The Rutland County f ish and Game
league held their annual banquet at IL
Bardwell hotel in Rutland Thursday
evening and was the most successful
affair ever given by the league. There
were 265 plates laid, and the spirit of
good fellowship seemed to animate the
large gathering, which represented al
most every calling. Men prominent in
the various professions in business and
in politics were present from all over
the state, and there were several dis
tingui>hed guests from other states,
including DR.. G. w. Field, state fish
and game commissioner of Massachu-
sets, and P. S. Farnham, special repre-
sentative of the National Association
for the Protection and Propagation of
Fish and Game.
The dining room at the Bardwell
hotel was tastefully and appropriately
decorated. The pillars were swathed
with evergreens, and the greens were
distributed elsewhere, making de-
cidedly pretty effect. Hunting tro-
plies ornamented the walls, among
them magnificent stag head, a stuffed
wildcat, two alligator skins, and stuffed
bears and other wild animals. The
rooms was lighted with red, white and
blue electric lights, and small American
flags were very much in evidence.
The postmaster, Thomas H. Browne,
president of the league, called on the
following men for speeches. DR.. Field,
P. S. Farnham, Harry Chase, ex-county
fish and game warden of Bennington;
Frank Howe of Bennington, speaker
of the Vermont House of Representa-
tives at the last Legislature; Henry
Preston of Fair Haven, Frank L. Fish
of Vergennes, M. F. Barnes of Chimney
Point, DR.. P. M. Williams of Rutland,
Fred Smith of Addison, John w. Tit
comb of Lyndonville, state commissioner
of fish and game, Rev. Joseph Reynolds,
and others.
The league voted unanimously to
join the National Association for the
Protection and Propagation of Fish and
Game, on the motion of B. H. Stickney.
The speeches were for the most part
terse and witty, and full of political
illusions appreciated by those at the
tables, as evidenced by the loud APP
plause. Mr.. Chase and Mr.. Farnham
made able and more serious addresses.
Mr.. Chase thought there were enough
laws on the statute books TO adequately
protect the fish and game.
Music was furnished by the Woman's
orchestra during the banquet and rem
dered a number of very fine selections
which brought forth merited applause.
Those who attended the banquet from
this vicinity were: County Game War
den George H. Chaffee and Norman s.
Foote of Middlebury, Hon. Frank l..
Fish and John H. Donnelly of Yer
gennes, and Fred C. Smith and Willard
Barnes of Addison.

Three-Year
Homestead Bill a

On June 9th President Taft
signed the bill which has been
passed by the House and the Sen
ate permitting homesteaders to
prove up on their land after three
years residence. The term of res
idence required of the entryman is
seven months out of each year
and the cultivation necessary is
reduced from eighty to tourty
acres.
When signing the bill he did so
IN the presence of several western
senator's and after doing so he
turned to the gentlemen present
and expressed his pleasure in do
ing this for the people on the land
and particularly those of the
west as there is where the major
ity of such land lies today.
This is great victory for the
homesteader and the west in gen.
eral and when the bill passes now
pending in congress for those who
live on government reclamation
projects to receive patent upon
final proof it will be complete in so
far as the main obstacles having
been removed from the man on the
soil who desires title thereto.

Opens Campaign
for the safety of
Hotel Guests.

Following is the bulletin which
has been issued by State Com
missioner Wallace:
To the keepers OF Hotels and
Rooming Houses:
Because of the fact that no less
than seven hotels have been des-
trOyed by fire since the new hotel
law went into effect, attended in
one case with loss of life, | have
decided to commence the strict
enforcement of the provisions of
this law and have given instruc-
tions to deputies now in the field
to compel the keepers Of all hotels
and roOming houses to equip
their establishments with proper
fire protection as specified in the
law, or close up such places.
This includes fire escapes, fire ex-
tinguishers, fire gongs, fire escape
signs and stand pipes. 1t is an
offence to conduct a roomlng
house or hotel without a licence,
and all licences will he revoked
where hotels or rooming houses
are found deficient in fire protec-
ton. The hotel law has been IN
effect a year last May, and that
should be plenty of time for own
ers or lessees of such places to adj
just themselves to the new condi-
tiOns.
Inasmuch as the hot season is
approaching, attention is direct
ed to the fact that the new law
also requires the screening of all
bed rooms and dining rooms, and
the absence of such screens will be
sufficient cause tor prosecuting
the owner or lessee of any place
where such screens are not found
The same with reference to metal
ash containers, with which to
take care of the ashes of hotels
and rooming houses.
There have been a few prosecu-
tions of hotel keepers who insist
on having the common roller
towel, and these prosecutions
will continue whenever such vio-
lations of the law are found.

Committees At
Work on Julv
4th Program.
WILL HAVE GAY TIME.

The generalcommittee appoint
ed for arranging a suitable pro-
gram for July 4th met Wednesday
at one o'clock and prepared a
general outline to be followed by
the subcommittee in making
out program for the fourth of
July which is now being prepared
in detail and will be ready for
publication in short time.
The general plan outlined pro.
vides for the usual salute in the
morning by the firing of artillery
and the raising of stars and
stripes at sunrise. This will be
followed by the serenading OF
the Oakley Silver band. A first
class program is being worked
out by the subcommittee and it
is the intention of the general
committee to have one of our
state officials here to partiscipate
in the program.
The park grounds are in fine
condition and afternoon sports
are being arranged that will
make it interesting to all.
AS soon as the parties having
the work IN hand gets all details
carefully worked out they will be
published in due time for the oc
cassiOn.
An invitation had been extend
ed by the Burley people to joir
with them in celebrating the 4tt
with them and they in turn
would return the visit on the
Oath of July but the committee
felt that inasmuch as the people
had met and appointed them tC
provide a program they could
not well do otherwise than &c
ahead without calling another
mass meeting to act upon the
matter.
1t is likely however that they
will be invited to come here anC
join with Oakley in the celebra
tion where shade is plentiful fol
the hot days that are on hanC
about tdat time.

Given Welcome.


On very short notice the citi-
zens OF this place gave warm
reception to the visiting officials
of the Oregon Short Line who
were making a tour OF the towns
along their lines on Monday
morning last when hundred or
more people met about eight
o'clock IN the morning to welcome
the guests who arrived in a spec

Manson, Asst. Gen. Manager, d.
S. Spencer, Asst. Gen. Passenger
Agent and ]. A. Reeves of the
Traffic department together with
representatives OF every depart
ment of the system were heartily
received by the people of this
place and given short but spicy
en- entertainment on the Hotel w or
thington lawn. Pres. w T. Jack
who was in company with these
gentlemen called upon Judge
HOwells to act as chairman OF
the meeting. He made brief
speech of welcome announcing
later that Mayor Lowe would
give a speech as soon as he arriv-
ed. In the meantime Mr.. D. S.
Spencer made a brief talk, view
ing in a few moments the work OF
the railroads and the part they
had taken in the development OF
the country. Expressed a desire to
do the right thing in their deal
ings with the people through
whose country they traversed
and also invited their friendship
and good will, because through
that means and that only could
both parties prosper in the land
and be of service to each other.
Mr.. Manson, Reeves and Others
of the officials also responded to
requests and they spoke along
similar strain, emphasizing the
work done by the railroads in
the redeeming of the desert by
making it convenient for the peo
pie who were the direct instru,
ments in this herculean task.
