Local Man Kills Bear

A large female bear, weighing close
to 200 lbs was shot by VIM. Boulds and
his companion Dolf Bailey, in the Lewis
Mts. last Wednesday noon. Mr.. Bouds
wes within Is feet of Bruin when he
heard a snarl, with which he let drive a
shot. The bullet came from the rear,
broke 8 ribs and back bone, penetra ting
the mouth and tearing out some teeth.
Mr.. Bailey took two more shots to make
sure.
The fortunate hunters were in town
Friday showing the carcass to their
many friends who thought that prettier
and nicer prime black bear would be
hard to find They left two cubs and a
father bear for some other Jealous
hunter. Mr.. Boulds made out pagers
for the bounty which is offered on all
bears shot.

An attempt at burglarizlng the store
of George Allen on East Alien street
Winooski, was made Thursday night,
but owing to the blinds being immovable,
the miscreants were foiled. The burglar
or burglars had cut the glass in the
back, door, but their trouble came when
they tried to unfasten the wooden blinds
which were fastened to the inside. This
is the second burglary within the week,
as E. r. Crandall' store was entered
Sunday night when small amount OF
cash was taken together with smoking
supplies. The police department has
no clue to either case.

CONDITION
OF TRAD:
IN VERMONT

Reports to Bradstreets are more pro-
nounced in stating thaC labor is well
employed This is true of all nanufac-
turing intere.rs except those which are
involved in laEor difficulties. Reports
from the knit goods manufacturers show
business in that line is improving, al
though plants are not as well supplied
with orders as they We're a year ago.
Manufacturers of knitting machinery
and supplies report larger business than
for the same time of year ago. Among
the lumber dealers statements indicate
supply of lumber on hand is less than
usual and that there is a shortage OF
some grades and the tendency is toward
an increase in prices The collar and
cuff aud garment manufacturers report
new business is coming in well AMI out
look for future encouraging. Manutac-
turefs of waxed paper products state
there has been gradual increase in the
demand for this article and the amount
of new business on hand is larger than
usual. Farmers complain Of shortage
in amount Of hay and are taking adj
vantage of good pasturage. They have,
however, in some instances been forced
to pay large prices for hay for domestic
use where the amount harvested last
year did not hold out as well as expected.
The farmer has been delayed with his
planting owing to rains and wet con
dition of soil. Grass is growing well
and outlook is for heavy crop Of hay
Retail trade has moved slowly and some
reports from wholesale houses indicate
the turn over of stocks has not been as
was expected. Among certain lines OF
merchandise sales have commenced
collections are still reported unsettled
with the tendency toward the slow side.
Burlington iobbing and wholesale
trade speak well of existing conditions
and consider outlook for future good.
Continued unsettled weather has affected
retail trade. Rutland reports labor un'
usually we'll employed. The retail mer-
chant speaks we'll of present trade and
is optimistic regarding the future. The
manufacturing interests at st. Albaus
report plants well employed and new
business coming in well Rural trade
has been light and city trade delayed
on account of weather conditions
Swanton mills are employed to capacity
and the manufacturers report new bust
ness is coming in we'll. The retail lner-
chants at St. Johnsbury report good
trade considering the general conditions
Labor is in demand in nearly all lines
Montpelier and Barre granite manufac-
turers report but little change in their
line of business although money is COM
ing in a little better. Brattleboro man
ufacturers speak well of the amount of
new business received and the retail
merchants note some improvement in
sales. AT Bennington the retail mer-
chants state goods are moving little
better. Owing to unsettled condition
of labor the volume of business and sales
of building material has not been as
large as usual.

Collector of Customs Charles II. Dar
ling of Burlington reports collections
have been dropping off IN that district
the present month, after being unpre-
cedentedly high for about year. The
decline is said to be owing to the fact
that the importation of hay from Que
bee has ceased, large amount having
been bought in during the last few
months owing to the scarity here, cou
dition now overcome by the new grasi
crop.

TEAM
DEFEATED IN
FIRST GAME

The Island Pond Base Ball Associa-
tion played their first game of the
season yesterday against the Berlin team,
and were defeated in fast and inter-
esting game. Derby Line was scheduled
to play, but owing TO the inclement
weather the game was called off at 8
o'clock; at ii o'clock a telephone message
was received from Berlin asking for a
game, and, as a good many of the fans
were clamoring for a game, Manager
Wilcox acceeded to their demands and
booked them for the afternoon.
The showing of the local boys against
regular team that has been playing
fast ball for several weeks was encourag-
ing. Although ten errors were made
behind Riley most of them were caused
by the slippery condition oi the ball.
MAYNARD Stevens showed to good ad-
vantage behind the bat and the work of
Morse on first was a revelation, picking
them ont of the dirt like veteran
The best batting of the local team was
done dy Bailey, who also played nice
fielding game. Seymour, Lougee and
Danforth ordinarily fine fielders, had an
off day; but with little more practice
a fine team can be developed. Mgr
Wilcox has booked games with Derby
Line next Saturday and Coaticook for
the following Saturday, both games to
to be played here. There will probably
be games here most every week and all
persons are requested to turn out and
help support the team as there is con-
siderable expense attached to having
teams appear here.
The result of yesterdays game:

after purchasing tickets for North

after going some little distance they

the worse for their experience.

The officers of the Warsaw Poultry

The officers of the Warsaw Poultry
Association in their efforts to encour-
age poultry raising in this vicinity
deserve the thanks of the public, for
there is no reason why Warsaw
should not be headquarters for poul-
try, eggs, and everything that per-
tains to the successful development of
this industry. Just below the dam :,
she may in a comparatively short
time be called on to help feed the
coming thousands that will settle
around here and help build up the new
Pittsburgh.

for her annual product exceeds in
value, every year that of all the grain
raised in the United States. The hen
