Ash is one OF the best of woods for
this purpose, because of its tough. phi.
able fbers. which lend themselves SO
well to being bent into various sharp
angles and curves. But other wood,
such as maple, chestnut and birch, are
also used.
The young trees are planted just
as any one would plant trees to sell
Tor gardens. but at the end Of the first
year after being planted they are cut
back, rather short. which causes
shoots to put out down around the bot
toms. Then the lower branches are
cut, and only a plume of leaves left
on the tops of the trees.

which are applied at different times.
There are two sets of brakes on
these cars, the service brake. which
is band brake of contracting type
acting on the rear wheels of IS inches
diameter. The emergency brake is OF
internal, expanding type, also acting
on the rear wheels and controlled by
a long lever. This is new feature,
and one which will, no doubt, be fol-
lowed by all the other truck makers
and viii be recognized by any body
who has ever operated truck. Pre-
vious types of brakes have been div
ided between the jack shafts and the
rear hubs, which is very objection
able feature. The brake which acts
on the jack shafts becomes absolute
~ useless in case that a driving chain
breaks or jumps of the sprockets. II
the heavy loaded truck were proceed
ing down the Pail and a chain should
jump OF. or break. ii would leave
the driver absolutely dependent on
one brake only, while in the case of
the G. NJ G. truck, the breaking of
chain would have absolutely no inter-
ference with the usage of both brakes.
The steering wheel is of the left
hand type and is constructed OF the
screw and nut type, with large lever
ages. It is equipped with large
spring shock compromising connec-
ton on the cross rods. This is q new
type of steering gear which is not
only the most accessible steering gear
which has ever been installed on an
automobile truck but is also the sim
plest in its construction.
A new feature in the g. NJ. C. truck
is the construction of the side MEM
bers of the frame These members
are brought straight forward in adj
vance Of the radiator and connected
In front with the large bumper which
protects all the front parts Of the ra-
diator. This enables the installation
OF new side member with very great
ease. The whole car, itself, is very
noiseless on the road and its speed is
controlled by the automatic governor,
which gives 1t maximum speed OF
is miles an hour on the high gear.
This truck is built exceptionally solid
and considerably heavier than any
other truck OF this tonnage, and shows
q great study of all conditions in
road hauling.
These trucks are being sold in Ho- |
nolulu at an exceptionally reasonable
price, which brings them within the |
reach of any small or large dealer or |
contractor These machines are
equipped with solid tires all round,
with S4x5 inch tires on front and 36x5 |
inch tires on the rear.
There has been an enormous de-
mand for a truck OF this tonnage at |
popular price, and the G. M. C. has
come as a great boon to transporta-
lion This truck seems to fill the bill
and will certainly be the most popular
'ruck on the market for the coming
season.
Not one single feature in the whole
of the truck has been neg
ected and the essence of the whole
seem to be wonderful

Greater Vermont Notes.

The Crop Improvement Committee of
the Council of Gram Exchanges writes
that, if other states would become as
active as Vermont in the movement to
secure county agricultural experts,
this country would again take its place
as great exporting nation. -
The following organizations have be-
come members of the Greater Vermont
Association, Montpelier Board of Trade,
Springfield Board of Trade, Hartford
Forward" Newport Board of Trade,
and the Business Mems Associa tion of

Under the leadership of the Fair
Haven Chamber of Commerce crusade
to secure an agricultural agent is being
conducted in Rutland county. Meetings
are being held throughout the county,
and every effort is being made to quail
ify for the aid from the fund disbursed
by the Crop Improvement Committee of

A Middl ebury Collesei Professor
Work.

A tardy recognition of scientific work
done by a Middlebury college professor
may be found in two reports that have
been recently published. The first is
Report of the Geology and Mineral Re-
sources of the Chbougamau Region,
Quebec, by the Department of Coloni-
cation, Mines and Fisheries of the
Province of Quebec. The report is
descriptive of the work of a scientific
expedition in the region north of the
Height-of Land in the summer of 1910
and contains above 200 pages. Four
pages are devoted to brief account of
the expedition led by Professor McFar-
land through the region that year. In
speaking of their own work the director
of the Canadian scientific party gives to
Prof. Phelps N. SWEET the credit of
establishing for them, and for future
geographers, the exact location of the
Chibougamau region. The report
states, 1.-THE position Of the whole of
the Chibougamau region has been ma

tain astronomical observations by Prof.
Phelps N. SWEET of Middlebury college,
/ Middlebury, Vt, who in company with
Prof. Raymond Mcfarland and DR.. T.
C. Brown, also members of the faculty
of the same college, undertook an expe-
dition to Mistassini during last summer
| 0910). Part of the work accomplished
during the progress of their journey had
for its object the securing of informa-
ton in regard to terrestrial magnetism.
The necessary data was secured by
Professor SWEET, under the direction of
the Department of Terrestrial Magnet
ism of the Carnegie institution of Wash
ington. 1t has been thought advisable
to adopt the position as ascertained by
Professor SWEET, and to include
the whole table of fixed points as deter
mined by him.
In a publication by the Carnegie In
stitution of Washington entitled Land
Magnetic Observations, 1905-1910,
Professor Swett's work as magnetic
observer again receives recognition.
This volume is record of a magnetic
survey of the world made during the
years indicated. The results of Pro-
fessor Swett's observations are tabulat-
ed along with those of other observers,
and in list of three specimen observa-
lions and computations selected from
many hundred is full statement of a
set of observations made by Professor
SWEET in connection with the expedition
of 1910. Only those who are familiar
with the technical knowledge and skill
necessary to secure this scientific data,
and the physical Inconvenience often
necessary to undertake observations in
the region beyond the Height-of-L Land
can fully appreciate the value Of Pro-
fessor Swett's records.

will be clear-cut because the land is
more valuable for agriculture than for
forests. Stump land in the same
neighborhood sells for as high as $40 or
$50 an acre; sometimes even more. While
the present stand of timber on the best
land within the forest service, in gen
eral worth more than the land apart
from the timber, the annual returns
obtainable from farm crops make agri-
culture the best form of use for this
land.
To open to homestead entry land with
from S., 900 to 81, 600 worth of timber on
each homestead unit, as is the case on
many homestead areas on the Kaniksu,
tends to put premium on its entry by
timber spectators. From the specu-
lators they go to lumber companies, and
the lumber companies may hold back
agricultural development either by keep
ing the timber intact for long period,
or by cutting the land clean and then
holding it at a price which the pros
pective home builder looking for cheap
land to develop con not pay. Therefore
the government does not open to entry
heavily timbered agricultural land on
national forests until after the timber
has been cut off.
In this instance the federal govern
ment will receive about $3.50, 600 for the
timber, of which sum 1925, 600 will go to
the benefit of the state for public
schools and good roads, and the rest
will be covered into the treasury. All
told, the yearly receipts from the ma
tional forests have been about 81, 900,
| 900, of which timber sales have con-
tributed about one-half, but the forest
service reports that the demand for
government timber is now increasing
rapidly. Since July l twice as much
timber has been sold as was sold in the
entire preceding twelve months, and
while the timber will be paid for only as
it is removed during a term of years
the forestry officials expect to see the
timber receipts mount up fast each
year during the period Immediately
ahead.

Boston. March 10. The Boston
Journal was sold today by Frank A.
Munsey to Matthew Hale, national
committeeman for Massachusetts and
State chairman of the Progressive
party. The price Of the paper, it was
announced tonight, is again placed at
one cent. A week ago Mr.. Munsey
raised the price to three cents as an
experiment to determine whether Bos-
ton would support morning paper at
that price.
Mr.. Hale assumed management of
his property tonight, the change in
price becoming effective at once. In
announcing that the Journal would
continue to support the cause of the
Progressive party, Mr.. Hale said it
twill fight any entangling alliances be-
tween the Progressive and other
parties.

The Ca pture of New York.

Captain Paul B. Malone, of the
United States Navy, has written for the
April Century sketch in which he
shows that New York City, the key to
the wealth, commerce, and industry of
this country, could easily be captured
by a foreign power before there was
time to concentrate enough trained men
there to protect it; and that this cap
ture would cripple the nation more than
the combined taking of Boston, San
Francisco and Washington.

An Appreciation fiJoaquin Miller

In many respects this poet of the
forests, this self made student of the
life of the Western plains and noun
tains, was unique. He was not the
representative of class but class
in himself. He drew inspiration from
his surroundings as they were, he
lived close to the great throbbing
heart of nature, and then stringed
his Tyre in harmony to interpret the
story she had to tell. He sang of the
mountains and the valleys, the back
woods and the camps, the rivers and
the forests-in word, the life and la
bors and pastimes, the joys and the
sorrows of the Western people-in a
cadence which thrilled their hearts
he touched the chords of their nature
and. enrapt in wonder, they listened to
the strains he evoked. He was typi-
cal of the mighty West in all its
moods and lenses; it was his first
love and it was his last; he never for
got the home ties, nor wished to cast
or the early influences which called
forth the splendid gift of song which
was to make his name known and
loved not alone in his own land but
wherever the English language is
spoken.
True he was a wanderer at times,
but his heart ever turned to the early
associations which gave bent to his
native genius. He was not a great
poet in our modern acceptation of the
term; he scared to no great heights
of fancy nor did he attempt any
sublime epics. All his life he was a
man of the people and he became a
poet of the people, loved for his sim
plicity and the homely themes he
treated. Christian Herald.
