In National affairs the country
newspapers of the States of Montana
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Oali
fornia did their full share in the pas
sage of the amendment to the Inter,
state Commerce Act, which guranteei
to every shipper the right to be heart
before his rate can be advanced. A
stable freight rate is as essential ia
the manufacturer as a stable currency.
In the~passage OF the Borah irriga-
tion bund bill, providing for the issu.
ance of $50 900 900 of bonds to COM
plete the National irrigation projects
in the West Senator Borah will bear
testimony to the invaluable service of
the country press. Irrigation means
more to the lumber business of the
West than to any other single indus
try.
In this brief cursory review of some
OF the mesures which the country press
has aided, the writer speaks with au-
thority, as it came to his hand to help
create the sentiment which made DOS
sible the enactment Of much Of this
legislation.
When labor troubles come-and
they come unbidden like a plague of
locusts--the l. W. W. hor le swept all
before them for a time. The country
press, always conservative, counBelled
the men to remain and work. and dis
ooufaRed the movement in every way
possible. Il
Iu financial crises in many q COM
munity the personal equation of the
editor Of the local newspaper. -Often
scarcely known and little appreciated.
has helped them stem the tide of dis
aster. But why continue?
What can be done by the lumber
industry to repay an, continue to de-
serve the support of these brave coun-
try newspaper men-who with often
only hatful of type help fight the
battles? One word tells it all: Ad-
veItise and advertise literally. See
that every man jack around the mill
and Office subscribes for the paper.
Have your job work printed by the
local press, wherever possible. If
the local newspaper Offices are not
equipped to do the work, let them
handle the order. The big printer in
the city will paw commission and in !
time, as the community develops, the J
local plant will be prepared to do the /
work: but give him chance first.
We are hearing great deal these
days Of what the retail lumber dealer
owes the local newspaper This is
doubtless true-but the manufacturer
of lumber owes more. He owes the
very creation of just laws which help
him to do business. This means more
than anything else to manufacturer.

come the associations deciding not TO
stand In the way Of the desired de-
Veiopment and they decided such land
as was necessary to the New London
northern Railway company. which is
loased by the Central Vermont road,
ana received checks in payment there
Tor from the Boston & Maine company.
rms manner Of acquiring the property
was adopted under an agreement
whereby the Central Vermont IS to
g've the Boston & Maine trackage and
yard room between the present tracks
and the river on the east. the Boston
Maine to acquire and give to the
Central Vermont enough land on the
west side to offset the amount taken
on the east side.
The construction will take Off Cros-

We congratulate the two railroad
concerned as we'll as Brattleboro upon
the prospect OF speedy adjustment Of
this whole difficulty to the satisfaction
of all parties directly interested. A
double track railroad will unquestion
ably Accommodate all tho trafnc in the
Connecticut valley for a long time to
como. and provision OF more than am
pie facilities would Internationally
fall upon the patrons Of both roads
as II usually the case. A reasonable
adjustment In cases involving public
transportation Is contamination
therefore. greatly to be desired and
we hope that similar situations in d.f.
ferent parts Of Vermont may be work
ed out 10 similar advantage.
