Automobiles In Vermont.

There is an automobile owned and OPP
Grated in Vermont for each 100 innabip-
ants. The amount thus invested probably
is about 100000. This investment pays
taxes on a horsepower basis, but PROP
ably the aggregate taxes are In excess
of what they would be If the same cap
ita was invested in any other property
The automobile tax all goes for improv-
ed highways. Undoubtedly the Vermont
ratio of automobiles to inhabitants is
high. and If that means progress, Yer
mont is "going ome."-[Rutland News

In the last ten years city population
of the United States increased 34S per
cent, and country population 112 per
cent. The area of improved land per
capita declined slightly, and is now $50
per head. This would explain the ris-
ing cost of foods, but there is one coun-
teracting cause and that Is increased
yield per acre. This Is very slight, but
II will soon be seen, as the value of
land rises. The country's production of
grains fell 10 bushels per head in the
last ten years and has reached the point
where the home demand, outside of the
production of the Pacific coast just
about equals the home production. The
wheat crop now growing will all be con-
sumed here, except as noted, and in a
few years we shall be importing wheat
and probably corn, too,

from church in Marlboro Sunday after
noon, June 49, bear about half grown
crossed the road near him, about a mile
from his home and not far from the
Brattleboro line. His horse was some
what frightened but no damage was
done. Is this the same bear which was
seen two weeks ago in Guilford or are
bears becoming so numerous as to rem

which clerks work.
Mr.. Waiter exhibited letter file
in which he said he had 500 letters
from mail clerks reporting unsanitary
and unsafe mail cars and said the
positions of the authors would be
jeopardized If the names were pub

"It is a remarkable situation that
this gag law of the department should
keep congress from getting at the
facts" said Chairman Moon. I'VE can
subpoena these men but we cannot
protect their jobs if they testify"

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Gov-

had made no statement in Washing

denomination of Mr.. Taft. The gov
ernor said the story to the effect that
he was favorable to Mr.. Taft was
printed during the Washington visit,
referred to by the correspondent of a

over the matter before leaving the ma

said, defended his action by saying
he had not quoted Governor Hadley,

NO COERCION WAS USED
MR.. BULLARD KNEW OF NO IN
STANCE WHERE ANY PERSONS
WERE INTERFERED WITH.

Kansas City, Jan. 24.-Further tes-
timony designed to refute the states
allegation that the Yellow Pine Man
ufacturers' association fosters a sys-
TEN of sitting competition and fixing
the current prices on lumber was in
troduced by the defense today at the
resumption of the hearing of the ous-
ter suit against 26 lumber companies
transacting business in Missouri.
w. C. Bullard, a retail lumber dealer
of Omaha, testified that in 1908, when
the suit was brought, he controlled
six retail yards in Nebraska and that
there was unrestricted competition
among dealers in yellow pine at that
time He said he got daily quota
tions from travelling representatives
of lumber companies and prices were
absolutely controlled by supply and
demand. There were fluctuations in
prices from day to day, he said, ana
there was no discrimination ip favor
Of members of the Yellow Pine Manu-
'acturers' association. He said the is
suance of a price list by the associa-
ton had no effect upon the market
price of pine but that the price list
was a convenience and benefit to the
wholesaler, retailer, builder and all
others interested.
Mr.. Bullard said the association
never tried to coerce wholesalers or
retailers and never made any effort
to drive anybody out of business. w.
C. Scarritt, representing the lumber
men, protested vigorously when AS
sistant Attorney General Atkinson,
cross-examining the witness, tried to
bring out that a gradual increase in
prices was shown by the price lists
issued from 1904 10 1908.
"The state by inuendo is trying to
create a false impression here" he
said. "The state has introduced in
evidence market reports which show
chat the market fell five different
times during the period mentioned. y
Mr.. Atkinson disclaimed any inten-
ton to misrepresent the evidence al
ready introduced.

Steel TRUST FROzE
OUT COMPETITION
DEALER ON THE COAST TELLS
COMMITTEE HOW 1T MADE HIM
SURRENDER A contract

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Stanley
steel trust investigating committee to-
day descided to suspended hearings
until the arrival of the presidents of
some of the subsidiary companies of
the United States Steel corporation.
Several Of them may appear next
week.
Richard H. Gray, a San Francisco
dealer in iron and steel products, tes-
tilted today that after he had obtained
a contract in 1906 to supply seamless
tubes for the gunboat Bennington,
subsidiary companies of the steel cor
poration refused to sell to him. He
declared the refusal was based on the
ground that the Shelby Steel COM
pany, a concern subsidiary to the
steel corporation, had been a bidder.
He read long list of firms to whom
he applied for tubes and declared that
they all referred him to the Shelby
company and that his correspondence,
in spite of his protests, was surrend-
cred to that concern.
Mr.. Gray endeavored to prove that
an understanding existed between the
companies named designed to stifle
the business of the independents. He
said he was compelled to surrender
the Bennington contract because he
could not obtain materials.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Aafter con-
ferences lasting many hours, White
House and state department officials
were sufficiently brushed up on pre-
cedents" today to announce some of
the details for the reception of the
Duke of Connaught by President Taft
tomorrow afternoon. Although striv-
ing for informality, the White House
determined it best to receive the duke
like a new ambassador.
Major w. A. Butt, as the presidents
personal aid, will meet the duke at
the Union station and will act as
his official guide when he is not on
the acre or two of British territory
covered by the embassy.
No soldiery will accompany the duke
from the station to the embassy, but
from the embassy to the White House
a troop of cavalry will form an escort
of honor.
President Taft will receive the duke
probably in the blue room and Major
Butt will be the only person present
Later the British ambassador and the
dukes aide, Colonel Lowther, will be
presented.
/, Following the formal reception Mrs
Taft will serve tea, probably in th'
state dining room. Wives of cabine
members and possibly a few friends
of Mrs. Taft may be invited to thi
part of the reception.
