WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Deserved Tribute to Nh. Lewis.

The Palladium is pleased to present
this week a portrait of North TrOy's
leading citizen, Hon. John l.. Lewis,
delegate at-large from Vermont to
the Republican National Convention,
and a staunch supporter of President
Taft. The Missisquoi Valley is parti-
cularly honored in the choice of Mr..
Lewis, it being the first time that the
west part of Orleans county has ever
furnished a delegate to a Republican
National Convention.
Mr.. Lewis was BON in Berkshire in
1858. He attended the academies of
Westfeld and St. Adams. After leav
ing school he studied law in the office
of the Hon. H. G. Wilson of North
Troy, and was admitted to the Orleans
county bar in 1877. Twelve years
later he withdrew from practice be-
cause of the many and constantly in
creasing cares of his large and va
ried lumber, mercantile and general
business enterprises. Mr.. Lewis was
postmaster at North Troy eighteen
years. He represented Troy in the
legislature of 1904. and was a member
of the Vermont senate in 1908, taking
a prominent part in the deliberations
of both bodies. Mr.. Lewis is vice
president of the Merchants and Farm
ers' bank of Georgetown, Ca, vice
president of the Barton Savings Banl
and Trust Company, Barton. and
very heavy stakeholder in the Bank o:
Dawson, Dawson. Ca, also a director
of the State Mutual Fire Insurance
Company Of Rutland, and of severa
other corporations. His success
business and political. is in no small
degree due to his native diplomac!
and magnetic personality. He is ont
of the most finished and eloquent ora
tors of he Green Mountain State.-

tached and advertised to sell my
property to pay Nye's debts and then
instead Of selling as advertised ad-
journ1ng the sale-from month to month
for nearly a year or such a matter
That's what caused the comment.
Everybody that knew me, knew there
would be something doing when they
sold that property and as a matter Of
course there was talk about it.

on and have had their experience for
their money

Letter from c. j. Ufford
ALBANY, Oregon, June 1st, 1912.
1itor of the Barton Monitor,

Albany, Oregon, June 1st, 1912.
Editor of the Barton Monitor,
Dear Sir:
wish to beg or buy a little space
in your paper to explain an article
that appeared in it's columns on the
18th day of July, 1909, in regard to the
Nye bankruptcy matter which was
misleading, untrue and wholly un-
called for at that stage of the game.
The scrap had then been going on
more than a year and there had al
ready been several days of hearing.
enough to satisfy any man of any
business renoWn whatever, what the
outcome must eventually be. Every
business man that had his head on and
vas up to his job knew that whatever
interest the Nyes had in the Ufford
property belonged to Mrs. Nye and
her mother, Mrs. Hildreth. Mr..
Hildreth had lately died and left a
nice little estate to Mrs. Nye and her
mother. So much for Mrs. Nye and
Mrs. Hildreth.
Thirteen of the other parties named
as being so deeply interested" had
no interest whatever. The most of
them had had their money more than
a year before, and for that matter
they never had any interest to worry
about, merely clean notes of hand for
value received. all secured by liens and
mortgages, carefully drawn and prop
erly recorded. The one man $50
deeply interested' was the prosecut-
ing attorney, no one else was losing
any sleep. There was danger of the
suit being settled and he was likely
to lose a job. Now it is an easy matter
for an attorney to pick up a string of
suckers and wheedle them along any
length Of time in a law suit but this
was a bunch of good business men
and something out of the ordinary
must be done to string them along.
Hence this bluff and slur on Nye anc
Ufford in the newspaper. Well the
scheme worked and they had that
further proceeding" on that End day
of August and for several days there
after.
They dragged US through the courts
going on four years. through every
court they could get US into in the
state Of Vermont and then took US
into the United States Circuit Court
in the city of New York. They say
that the case has caused a great deal
of comment on account of the size OF
the farm and, the wholesale manner in
which it was carried on Il think they
use the term considerable comment
Well the size Of the farm nor the
wholesale manner in which it was
carried on had nothing whatever to dc
about the comment on the case.
What caused the considerable amount

NEW THINGS.

l am not sure in this era of
new laws, new standards and
new morals whether the fact
that a thing is old Is a recon-
mendation or an Indictment.
There Is evidence both ways.
But my conviction is that age
may have its benefits and even
things that have passed away
may perhaps have been respecta-
BILE. We live too much In the
present. too little in the past,
and I am apprehensive that we
live too little In the future. Our
eyes get centered on a single OBJ
ject, and we pursue it with an
eagerness that seems like fren-
". In our passion to obtain we
neglect to preserve and forget
that there have been and will be
other times than now.-Frank s.
Black.

Terms
GOV. MEAD.

The Monitor wonders what possible
good to the state, to Gov. Mead or to
the papers themselves. can come from
the belittling way in which many
Vermont papers have spoken of Gov.
Mead's candidacy for vice president.
When such a paper as the New Haven.
Conn., Times-Leader praises Gov.
Mead and supports him in half column
editorial it's strange that Vermont
papers cannot speak a good word for
him. There is more real support and
praise for Governor Mead in the edi-
torial from the New Haven paper spo.
ken of above than in all hat has been
said in the Vermont press. One of
our able editors recently spoke of the
need of a Vermont tonic to inspire
residents of our own state to see the
good, the beautiful, and the bright fu'
ture of our state and talk whenever
opportunity offered. The article was
heralded by the entire press as touch
ing the very fundamental trouble IN
Vermont. But on the cry heels OF
this come short editorial paragraphs
from our state papers speaking very
slightingly of Gov. Mead in connec-
tion with the vice presidency.
The Monitor does not see in Govern
or Mead a man who can probably get
the nomination for vice-president be-
cause of various circumstances, but IL
sees in Gov. Mead a man who has de-
veloped a large industry to the beneft
of our state, a man who is entitled
to the respect Of the Vermont press
whether in the capacity of a private
citizen, as governor or as a candidate
for vice-president, and if common
must be made upon the subject he /!
entitled to something different from
what he has received from the hands
of the Vermont press. AS the las
G. A. r. governor in the union, as
man who could fill the office accepta
bly,, would it not be a fitting thing TO
the Vermont press to help instead o
hinder DR.. Mead in looking towar'
the honor, and incidentally grasp tn
offered opportunity to give Vernon
and Vermonters some publicity.
We are not practicing what W
preach. Will this kind of thing eve
make the New Vermont?"

Tent Caterpillar Pest.
June IA, 1912.
Dear Editor:
Whereas the tent caterpillar has
made it's appearance in great numbers
in the state this spring, it is of the ut
most Importance that every land own
err take immediate action against the
pest by cutting and burning all scrub
vegetation infested with the pest
along the roadsides.
Where the worms take refuge in
valuable fruit trees ! would recon-
mend thorough spraying with Paris
green or the application of a torch. /
would also urge that where highways
pass through uninhabited territory
the town officials take such action as
is necessary to hold this insect in
check.
Only a few years ago this same pest
made it's appearance in the state and
did damage to the maple trees from
which that industry has never recov.
cred. and it is each mans duty to con-
slider himself personally obligated to
the state and to assist in Kidding the
state of this pest.

No Need for Fear as Dam Is Safe.
DESTROYS of allaying the fears of
the residents of the Deerfeld River
valley and adjacent territory, Govern
or John A. Mead Of Vermont and
Alfred R. Noble, the eminent engi-
neer of New York city, inspected the
huge earth dam being built by the
New England Power company on the
east branch of the Deerfield river in
Somerset Tuesday and after careful
examination Mr.. Noble stated that he
thought the people need have no fear
that the dam would not stand up to
it's test and hold back the enormous
supply of water behind it. The dam
will be about 2202 feet long when
completed, 102 feet in height. 600 feet
through at the base and 100 feet al
the top with a 20 foot driveway
across it. The upper side of the
dam will slope at a ratio of one
foot to every three feet of rise, and
the lower side will slope at a ratio
of one foot to every two and one-haIt
feet of rise. The pond formed will
come within 10 feet of the top, the
water will flood about 1000 acres,
. making a lake averaging IS feet ir
F depth, and 2.4O0. 900, 900 cubic feet OF
water will be held in check. 1t is
J expected that the power plant will
generate 5000 to 10. 900 horse power
t for 10 hours. and it's capacity prob.
ably will be increased. At present
the scene is one of busy activity. ST,
locomotives, 70 dump cars and two
heavy steam shovels are in use an(
225 Italian laborers are at work. Tht
cars travel back and forth over 4
miles of trackage. Every 10 hour.
J 1000 cubic yards of earth are dumped
2 on the dam and washed down by the
streams from several lines of hose.

The Monitor exhorts senatorial and
representative candidates to read the
proposed republican platform pub
lished in this issue. If you cannot
stand up on it tell your constituents
wherein you cannot agree to support
it. This is to be published in every
paper in Vermont and if legislators
do not support the platform later. or
tell us why they cannot now, they
may expect some rough handling
from their constituents later. 1t is
needless to add that any man who
does not take some state paper and
who does not read this platform is
not fit to enter the Legislature in any
capacity.

A SAORY OF THE SEA

The mate Of a bark which was
sailing southwestward across the
banks of Newfoundland was in the
cabin working out the vessels
course when he noticed a man sit
ting at the other end Of the table
busy writing on a slate. Thinking
he was the captain, he paid NO
further attention, but pres. n!ly,
looking up from his calculation he
saw the man suddenly disappear.
Startled, he went across, picked
up the slate and found written on
it, "Steer to the nor'west."
He called the captain. The
writing was certainly not that of
any of the crew, and eventually it
was deci led to obey the strange
order. The vessel was put in a
nor 'esterly course and a man
stationed at the masthead to keep
sharp lookout.
In few hours they sighted ice
and among it, in an almost sinking
condition, a big ship. They
reached her just in time to save
her people.
Among them Was passenger
whom the. mate recognized as the
stranger who had written the
direction on the slate.
According to the other pas
sengers. this man had been in a
deep sleep or trance at the hour at
which the incident had taken
place. Exchange.

WESTERN PACIFIC
ENGINE EXPLODES

Monday as we were about clos.
ing the forms we learned of ter
rible accident on the Western
Pacific and made brief mention of
it. Today we learned the foil ow- :
ing particulars:
Engine No. 40, an oil burner,
drawing eastbound freight train
No. 81, exploded at Antelope at
2:58 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The boiler was thrown across the
track and FIVE freight cars we're
derailed.
Engineer Casey. Fireman Reader
and Brakeman Crosby were Instantly
killed. Their bodies we're terribly
mutlated and pieces of flesh were
found 1000 feet from the track.
The telegraph wires were blown
down cutting off comm unication
with the crippled train. AS soon
as Superintendent Oglivie learned
of the accident the wrecking train
was ordered out and by $3.50 it was
on its way to clear the track.
This was accomplished by 5 O'Clock
this morning and trains are run
ming as usual. The cause of the
accident is not known, but it
probably resulted from lack of
water in the boiler. The engine
only recently left the railroad
shops.
The dead trainmen all lived in
Winnemucca. The body of
Engineer Casey will be taken to
st Paul, Minnesota, for burial. He
and Fireman Reader we're not
married.
Brakeman Crosby leaves a wife
and one child at Winnemucca.
Mrs. Crosby is cousin of Mrs. j.
A. Mcbride of Elko.

ployes Of the Western Pacific and

lives has cast a gloon over their
