BIG IMPROVEMENTS
AT POWER PLANT
Great Plant Being Hurried to
Completion
Machinery Arriving and Ready to Be
Placed When Building is Ready
Big Force Of Men Have Been
Employed for Months.

Very few of the residents of Am
Z erican Falls realize the magnitude
OF the work that is going On at the
new pJMe" plant of lie al Con
solidated Power company Worl
@ has been progressing night and day
since early spring, a large force
OF men employed all the time. A
diversion dam, eighteen feet high
at the lower end and extending past
the railroad bridge, is one of the
most noticeable of the improvements
entailing a great amount of labor
and the use of great quantities of
Gem ent, yet it is but small part of
the work that has been done. One
must go below the works, over them
and through them, to gain an idea
Sof their magnitude.
Only one of the three units of
the new power station will be COM
pleted at this time, yet it will quad
ruple the amount of power that the
TWO old stations are now developing,
and provide a surplus that will meet
0rdinary requirements for several
Years. When more power is needed
additional units can be constructed
At comparatively small cost, be-
cause all the excavating and a good
part of the cement work is included
IN the building of the first unit.

Suggestion for the Improve
ment of Schools

1t is generally agreed that the salaries
of teachers should be higher then they
aIe now in most places in Vermont. 1t
is also agreed that in order to keep
abreast of the educational progress of the
times the teaching force should improve.
Would it not be a simple business PROPOSE.
ton to make the increase in salary condi-
toned upon the Improvement OF the
teacher? II other states plan has been
irifd with great success. The school of
hcels say to the teacher, prepare yourself
better ana we will pay you more" The
teacher who can take year off and at
tend college or normal school may re-
turn to her position and receive better
pay. Few teachers can afford to do this.
The next best thing to do is to use the
vacation. A teacher who spends six
weeks in school is worth more to the
community. She is usually glad to i'm
prove herself if she can afford it. If the
district can raise her salary would it not
be advantageous to offer her one or two
dollars week more if she will spend six
weeks in summer school for teachers ?
The community thus gets immediate re.
turns of the outlay, aud the teacher gets
A recompense for the time and money

Absconder Arrested in Texas

The arrest in Mars lall, Texas, of Mark
Foster, the abscondIng town treasurer of
Hardwick, ends one OF the most spectac-
uar' man hunts which has ever taken
place in Vermont or within the province
of the Vermont officers.
The evening of April 10, 1908, Foster
sent word to the woman who assisted him
in the treasurel's office that he was going
TO Montpelier. The town auditors were
to 90 over his books the next day and on
making their examination they found his
acc UNITS SO tangled that it was decided
to wait for Fosters return to straigbten
out what was supposed at that time to be
merely careless bookkeeping.
The next day nothing WAS heard of
Foster aud inquiry showed he had placed
his team in il local stable, saying he
would call for it on the following day. His
failure to call for the team or return tn
Hardwick caused the officials of that
town to again 90 over the accounts, a
shortage of $500 being found. Foster
was indicted by the Caledonia county
grand jury and the hunt for him began.
Expert accountants were put at work
on the books and found town and private
accounts mixed in almost hopeless tangle.
1T required some time for bills to be turn
ed, both private and town, and finally his
bank account was checked up and with
everything accounted for there was a
shortage Of $4,000
According to the detectives Foster
went from here to Montreal and doubled
back to New Y Ork, later returning tn
Montreal. Chicago, Kansas City and ST.
Louis were included in his wauderings
until lie opened hotel in Nebraska. A
travelling man, who put up at the hotel
one night, came so near letting the cat
out of the bag thai Foster again moved
on, trying frni5 raising iii California and
finally settling iD Florida. He next l0ca-
ted in New Orleans for a time later going
to Texas.
FOSTER CONES WILLINGLY
II. w. Morgan Of the Wood Morgan
Detective agency of Boston made the
arrest. Governor Mead was informed OF
the capture and wired request for ex
tradition, but Foster waived his rights
and is on the way East
Foster is A years old and a native of
Brooklyn, n Y. His father was music
teacher and the SOP is an accomplished
Violinist and singer, u fact which added
TO the clues found by the officers in trac-
ing him. He came to Vermont when
about 1G years old and married at an
early age in Calais, later removing To
Woodbury.. He was employed as book
keeper by the Woodbury. Granite com
pany and also Lowell. He went to Hard
wick in 1897. He was man who made
friends and soon had a wide acquaintance
in the village and was elected town treas
urer, So great was the confidence IL him
that at the first rumors of his defaIcaFion
many people in the village charged that
it was an attempt Ia make trouble for
hin and it was not until several months |
had elapsed and experts had shown the
amount of his shortage that some of the |
leading people of Hardwick lost faith 10
him.
1t is probable that the indictment
against him will be taken up at the spring
term of Caledonia county court and that
Foster will plead guilty.

longing to his little island home
in Caprera. He had been abb
sent for two years, fighting the
battles of his country, and he
sought rest and quiet in his lit
tie cottage among the rocks.
When he approached his home
everything looked strange to
him. He saw no object that he
could recognize instead of the
rough and tangled farm he had
left, there we're elegant grounds,
splendid roads, lawns, gardens,
flowers, shrubbery and paths
everywhere. In the place of tine
humble cottage ne had LEFT
stood beautiful villa, all fur.
nished spick and span within
and without. he was very much
asto1ished, and could not i'm

this, until in one of the rooms
