A Handsome Booklet.
With Information.

White River Junction, Aug e.
The Vermont State Fair commission
has just issued a handsome premium
list book, setting forth the many at
tractive features of the Vermont
State Fair, to be held on the State
fair grounds here Sept. II, IS, 10
and 20. The cover design shows,
products of the farm and the drawn
letter effect is very pleasing.
A strong feature of this years fair
VIII be the track events. Ten trot-
ting races have been arranged. includ-
ing five pacing events four trotting
events and a free-for-all with a 1000
purse. five horses to start. Entries
are being made in large numbers and
the largest starting of trotters ever
seen on the State fair ground track
is sure to appear in the several races.
The large number of entries is made
possible from the fact that the races
will be held in conjunction with the
international circuit of Vermont and
Eastern Canada, and the Green Noun
tain circuit.
Every effort will be made TO take
care of the large crowd sure to at
tend the state fair this year. With
three large hotels and practically ev-
cry house in White River Junction
open for the accommodation of visit
crs there is no reason why al! should
not be accommodated. The White
River Junction Board of Trade will
have residence accommodations well
in hand, and these may be secured in
advance by writing the secretary. or

A Question Of Value.

OF course, nobody expects anything
different but still everybody was
glad to see that the Republican state
convention renominated the Hon.
Guy W. Bailey of Essex for the office
of secretary of state. And when the
Republican Messenger says every
body" il feels very confident that ev-
en- Mr.. Bailey's friendly rivals on 9TH
er tickets are willing to admit the
truth of it to themselves.
Secretary Bailey's office is not a
partisan bureau. Nothing that he
does or can do, officially, has any
bearing upon the political policies
that differentiate the various organi-
cations in the state that are Compel
ing for place and power He is an
administrative officer, he carries out
the laws that other men make, and he
has done il so we'll and so faithfully
that the idea of any change for an
other man has not seriously occurred
TO anybody.
The office of secretary of state. like
that of auditor of accounts. for in
stance. has been steadily growing in
importance IN lne past lew years
since the people have begun to de-
mand more and more governmental
attention to affairs of life and living
that was formerly left to the respon-
sibility of the individual. The Sec
retaryship of state. in the days of
DR.. George Nichols. was a pleasant
post. with no very serious and not
long absorbing duties. A good man
like the doctor could easily combine
its functions with a general business,
for instance. and give public satisfac-
ton at that. But today the people
are demanding that the office shall
be kept busy looking after a good
many things. constantly increasing
list of things, that they are too busy
TO look after themselves.
OF course, he will be reelected,
but il will not be simply because
Vermont apears to be overwhelming
ly Republican. He will be reelected
because he deserves it, and. il The
Messenger is not mistaken. this will
not be the last time. either.-St Al.

ALONG RIVER HARD HIT BY
SCHEME JUST REVEALED.
COMPANY IS ORGANIZED
VIII Pay Royalty To the State--Or-
ganization VIII Also Charge Small
Companies by Yard.

Sand and gravel companies opera
ting in the Arkansas river at Tulsa,
Muskogee and intermediate points
have been sorely hit during the last
few days by lease that the state
has granted the Builders Sand and
Gravel company of oklahoma City.
1t is charged that by the terms of the
lease all the sand and gravel beds
in the Arkansas and Grand rivers are
placed at the disposal of that COM
pany to the exclusion of all others,
who will be charged at per yard
rate for all gravel and sand taken
out.
Under the terms of the lease from
the state the gravel company will pay
a royalty of 2 IL cents per cubic yard
for sand and l-2 cents for gravel.
w. A. Ledbetter, W. l, Gilbert, Judge
c. G. Stuart and others are interested
in the Buffers company.
The sand companies at Tulsa oper-
ate on a large scale and take more
sand from the Arkansas, probably,
than any other one firm in the state.
These concerns are trying to find out
II they have been virtually put out
of business by a sand and gravel mo-
nopoly authorized by the state.
II has been mildly suggested that
other gravel plants now operating
would be charged 1out 10 cents>per
yard for the gravel they are taking
out "a little matter of 1-2 to 7 IL
cents profit To the big COMPANY II
is estimated that there is on an aver
age about 200 car loads of sand and
gravel being taken out of the two
rivers every day 50 figure for your
self what a neat little profit would
accrue at or cents per yard to the
Builders company
1t seems to be about as neat a piece
of financing as has been put across
in the state.

The publication of the new 20-cent
rate on refined oil for export in yes
terday's World came as a surprise to
some of the best-posted oil men, in
Guiding the pipe lines. The rate is
a new one to even the best-posted
railroad men in Tulsa but is in effect
just the same and has been since the
18th of February. In this connection
ii should be mentioned that fuel oil
has not yet been placed on a par with

The new Diesel engines are bound
to reveolutioniZe the motive power OF
the world. Amundsen, on his trip
to the Sopth Pole, used a Diesel en-
gine and returned home with enough
fuel on on board to make another
trip. These engines furnish cheap
er motive power than electricity gem
Grated by water power. In the mo-
tor boat show held the other day in
New York City they held the center
of the stage and We're the most in
terestng feature Of the years exhibit
The new motor boat Defender will be
equipped with an American heavy oil
marine engine, and one of these en-
gnes was on exhibition at the Madi-
can submarines have been equipped
with this type of engine, and manN
immense ocean going ships are now
being constructed and equipped with
The Diesel engine.
1t may he a mouted question
from the oil mans point of view
whether or not this new economical
as much fuel oil per horse power as
would be used under boiler in gem
Grating steam, will help him the
more.
The Diesel engine will develop one
h. p. an hour on 4-1O of pint of
crude oil. and crude oil can be had
on the seaboard anywhere at not
more than ? II cents a gallon.
\ gasoline engine would develop
one horse power an hour on 1 pint of
gasoline, and gasoline costs from II
to 20 cents a gallon, varying in differ
ont parts of the world.
st. Louis is installing an immense
plant to build the Diesel engines. The
new plant will cover an area of nine
acres and immense buildings will be
used.
These new engines are bound to
revolutionize the motive power Of the
world. Oklahoma has the crude oil
to sell and gladly welcomes the new
oil-burning engine as a great help
to the oil market.

OIL NEWS AND COMMENT

pipe lines may see the necessity of
making a uniform pipeage charge to
compete with this new rate, as the
pipe lines are now charging SO cents
per barrel and only in large quantl-
ties at that. With all Oklahoma
crude bringing the same price there
is no necessity for a large shipment
to be made at one time to get a reas-
enable rate from pipe lines. Alto
gether the outlook is exceedingly
bright for oil men, for refiners and
for everyone engaged in any branch
of the business.
