Disowned Nephew to Share.

1t was also made known that there
would be no protest On the part of any
of the heirs to the distribution Of legal
share OF the estate to Fred Crandell. the
nephew whom Hawley once favored and
later disowned because he married tel
egraph operator employed in Hawley's
office. Crandell, who has been working
as a bookkeeper for the last six weeks ct
a small salary. will come In for one-hf-
teenth of the estate. His share probably
will amount to more than $2,O00,OO0.
The procedure likely to be followed
will be to divide the estate into i've
equal parts. one going to each OF HaW-
sisters, Mrs. Homer Crandell. is now
dead, and her fifth consequently will be
divided between her three children. Mrs.
John H. Page Of Chatham, N. Y; wal

do, but what a thrill of satisfaction

Mr.. Fish has an affinity for.
That is the reason why successful
fishermen carry good variety OF
Trout Flies in their book
That is the reason we have 2Sl
different named patterns and sizes OF

The New Vermont meeting held
here Tuesday evening was one of the
best public meetings held in Benning-
ton in a long time These meetings
arranged by Supt. Stone are one of
the best features of the educational
work in the state and have done an
amount of good out OF all proportion
to the small sum that the state APP
propriates for the purpose. In the
rush of individual interests, the peo-
pie too often forget the state and the
opportunities it offers. Vermont has
never been exploited and over CAPT
talized, so to speak, as have the ives
tern and southern states and at the
present time, there is no state in the
union that offers better advantages to
its young people. There was time
when the young men and young wom-
en- growing up could do better prob
ably, by leaving Vermont, but that
time has now passed, and these meet
ings to bring to the attention of our
own people the advantages and open
ings that Vermont has to offer are
one Of the best things that the state
has done toward making its future
bigger and better than it's past. The
addresses by Supt Stone and Editor
Crockett of The Montpelier Journal
were splendid portrayals of the good
things OF Vermont The Banner re-
grets that it is unable TO print these
addresses in full.

AN ENEMY TO ORCHARDS
The Tent Caterpillar viii be PIentl
ful In this Section This Season

There is every indication that the
tent caterpillar, one OF the worst en-
emies with which the orchardist and
forester have to contend will be very
numerous this year. the heavy web,
or tent" In which the young cater
pillars are just Matching. always loca-
ted In a crotch of some small branch
being very manifest in apple or.
chards or In thickets of wild cherry
almost everywhere In this section
In driving about the country some
orchards may be seen In which there
is scarcely a tree in which one or
more tents" cannot be found. This
means that unless heroic means are
taken to get rid of the pest many
trees will be stripped OF their foliage
and the crop OF apples In infected or
chards will be affected TO say nothing
Of the damage TO shade trees
Foresters say that the tent cater
pillar can be kept In check to a large
extent In low trees. like apple trees
II proper steps are taken in time
Early In the spring, before the leaves
appear their web may be easily seen
and one man with n torch on Ions
stick can burn a lot Of caterpillar
nests IN a half day.
Farmers according to orchardlsts
are too liable TO neglect this impor
tant work until after the leaves un
fold and then the young caterpillars
have left their nests and the mis-
chief has been done.

GATES OF eATUN CLOSED
Great Work at Panama VIII Soon be
Flooded by Lake Water

Great Work at Panama VIII Soon be
Flooded by Lake Water
Washington, May 1S.-Tourists to
Panama have had their last chance
to see the great engineering work in
its completeness before the water is
turned on Reports received at the
war department today stated that on
the first of this month the steel
sluice gates on the Gatun spillway
dam were closed and the lake began
to fill up.
The level of the lake was then a
little over sixteen feet above sea
level. II has since been rising at
the rate of eight and half inches
day. The gates will be kept clos
ed, unless there should be a flood
until the water has risen to fifty feet
above sea level. 1t is expected that
the lake will reach this point about
August /. All dry excavation through
the channel in the Gatun Lake has
been completed except a short piece
still under contract near Juar
Grande.
Two pipe line suction dredges at
work on the lake side above the dan
at Gatun will be used to remove
some of the flood deposits in The
channel near Gambo and run over
the entire channel to get out any
wash or gravel that may have beer
carried into the channel.
The culverts in the center and side
walls of the Gatun locks are beinl
closed with temporary steel bulk
heads. These culverts will carry OF
the water in the operation of the
lock when the canal is completed
The bottom of these culverts is 2
feet above the sea level The gen
eral level work at Culebra Cut wher'
the greatest amount of excavation
had to be done, is now seventeen
feet above the final grade and eX
tends for about two miles at thi
mark.
The north end of the canal is praC
tically finished so far as excavatini
is concerned and at the south env
the excavation is to grade for owe
a mile, with about two miles remain
ing between Gold Hill and Empire L
be taken out. To avoid the DANCE
of slides, work is being pushed {

CANTON FLOATER
NOT FERRIS MAN
Relatives Satisfy Themselves That
Missing Man Is Not the River
FIoater
Especial to The Gate city ]

Especial to The Gate City,
FERRIS, H., April 22.-Ferris rel
atives have satisfied themselves that
the floater found at Canton, Mo-, a
few days ago, is not John Flynn. a
prosperous farmer of this place who
disappeared about month ago.
While the description of the body
found at Canton tallies in some re-
spects with Flynn, there are discrep-
ancies which, upon investigation. sat
isfied Flynn's relatives that the re-
mains were not those of Flynn.
Flynn left here about month ago,
with $500 in his pocket. He was going
to Missouri to buy some mules. He
went to Keokuk and that was the last
heard of him. When the body was
found near Canton, the relatives be-
came alarmed and were fearful that
Flynn had been murdertd in Keokuk
for his money and the body thrown in
to the river.

We are still harassed in this locality
with the wind-tips of general storm
which has covered territory reaching
from the lower lakes northward to

we are now experiencing are behind
the general storm which has passed

days longer and then may come mild

There have been heavy rains down
in Arkansas and along the lower Mis-
