 Mine May Change Hands.
 Their examination of the Mann moth mine completed. A. c. Bement, Howard Poillon, j. W. Whitehurst and R. I. Grider left for New York Tuesday, leaving behind strong intimidation that a favorable report will be rendered the American Van adium company, and that the purchase of the mine at price re- ported to be s200.0O0 will be com pleted at an early date. The mine is now held under a o0-day option.
 Negotiations are also being made by the company, it is understood. for the purchase of the old Yuma mine, which is about l6 miles from the Mammoth and was an extensive producer some years ago.
 Looking forward to the acquisi- ton of the Mammoth mine, the rep resentatives of the New York com pany took up tentatively the pur- chase of machinery. Some of this may be secured from the Mohawk mine.
 Government Wants Ranch.
 The second chapter in the con test between the United States In- dian Service and the Pima Land and Water company for possession of the old Berger ranch which has been occupied for several years by the government as headquarters for the San Xavier Indian agency. came to light with the filing of a suit in the United States district court in Phoenix Monday, entitled the United States versus Maria Berger and the Pima Land and Water company The object of the suit is to compel the first named defendant to carry out an agreement with the govern ment and to have declared void a oeed to the ranch executed to the Pima Land and Water company. This action closely follows a suit recently filed in the superior court in Tucson by the Pima Land and Water company against the acting lead of the Bureau of Indian AT fairs and others to secure possession to the Berger ranch and for dam ages alleged to have accrued in the form of unpaid rent.

Protecting Small Towns
The loss of power by the small
towns in case a direct primary law
should be passed has been effectively
shown by some of the Vermont news
papers and it will have a strong in
huence on the representatives of
tue small towns. The real issue on
this matter is whether towns in
huence in governmental affairs |
should be determined by the number
Of voters or the acres of back pas
ture it possesses. There is something |
to be said for each but we think 1t |
would be hardly safe to give the peo-
pie of the larger towns power to vote
against the interests of the smaller
towns. The small towns of Vermont
are valuable feeders to our business
,enters and any damage to them will
eventually reach the larger towns
llso.-St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN.
What the contemporary says re-
yarding the Importance of safe
guarding the interests of the smaller
owns is decidedly right. They are
yital factors in the growth and pro-
yress of the whole state and it is the
,art of wisdom and good public pol
cy to shape legislation with this idea
n view.
The editor of the Randolph Herald ,
nd News suggests the following fea- :
ures for incorporation in the law rel i,
tive to direct nominations, features
hat might give the smaller towns :
he protection to which they are en-
tiled:
"A direct preferential vote at the
rimaries or caucuses on the candi-
ates for all the offices before the b
arty constituencies; not statewide

For Development Of Vermont
The industrial development Of
Vermont through conservation and
development of its water power re-
sources was Interestingly discussed
before the Greater Vermont associa-
ton last week by Clarke c. Fits of
this town. Mr.. Fits beIieves that
the only way to secure desirable in
dustries for the state is to make IL
advantageous for them to locate here,
and in his opinion this advantage
can best be brought about by putting
an abundance of cheap power at their
disposal. According to Mr.. Fits ap-
proximately 100000 horsepower
can be developed in Vermont, an
amount that would require 10000
600 tons of coal year If IL were pro-
duced by steam. He would make
possible this development by the
construction of huge reservoirs at
the headwaters of various streams
for the purpose of storing the flood
water and thus equalizing the
streams flow throughout the year.
Mr.. Fits believes that the state
could well afford to appropriate ST.
100000 to be spent for this purpose
under an arrangement which would
insure the annual return OF enough
TO pay the interest on the Investment
and all operating charges. He
would require waterpoWer owners on
4 stream to guarantee a sum large
enough to meet this expense before
he reservoir at its headquarters was
quilt. There are large number OF
streams In Vermont on which such
developments could feasibly be
made and there is no doubt that the
benefit to the waterpower
lsers would be sufficient to make
hem readily agree to shoulder the
interest and operating expenses. The
lower developed in excess OF that al
eady used would find a ready mar
.et, and the loss that comes through
of power any great dis
ance would make sites close to the
evelopments particularly attractive
D prospective customers. Thus scores
f communities in Vermont would be-
ONE fertile fields for Industrial de-
elopment through their nearness to
heap power and the entire state
rould benefit in consequence

of the friends of Miss Powell here
learned of the anniversary date and
the charming young woman was over

She is an exceedingly popular young
woman, withal modest, and as an

rank. A brilliant future stands be-
fore Miss Powell, and she will be fol-
