STATES WILL SETTLE
BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Commissioners from Vermont and New
Hampshire VIII Report to
the Legislatures.

BOSTON, Nov. "Reminiscences
from Vermont and New Hampshire
who met in Boston recently to consid-
er the question of the boundary be-
tween the two states will consult at
their homes before they decide upon
the recommendations to their respec-
tive legislatures.
The point at issue between the two
states is the taxing of property lying
IN the Connecticut river. the most i'm
portant of which is at Bellows Falls
where an island i'm the river and
= made land belonging to the Ameri-
can Paper company are said to be tax
able by the Granite state The admit
ted boundary is the west bank of the
Connecticut. The question to be de
cided is whether islands lying in the
river belonging to Nermontcrs and
land ''made - by them for industrial
purposes is beyond the west bank with
IN the meaning of the original terms Of
the boundary. These cases are few,
but of Importance both to the individ-
uals and to the state in the matter of
taxation.
4 The boundary between the states has
neYer been fixed by any American tri
4 bunal and it is felt that the loose
grants made by British Kings or rovaI
4 governors should not be permitted to
control the interests OF citizens Of
these two states. What is actually TO
4 be decided is whether the west bank
of the river shall remain the boundary
or whether the states shall agree upon
a basis Of division which will allow
further creation Of lands in the river
by Nermonters.
: From the days when New Hamp-
shire and New York were disputinn
over the territory now comprised in
Vermont the Green Mountain state was
a bone of contention because the roval
governors, Golden and Wentworth. de.
sired the fees they received from the
granting of townships, says the
Herald. ITO preserve their own real
estate rights the Green Mountain bows
formed and maintained an indppen-
dent existence, with small regard to
boundary lines until after the Revolu-
ton. BY making concessions to both
New York and Newt Hampshire thcv
for their state Only within a wear
has this new question arisen, hut pri-
waite interests affected by New Hamp-
shire $ claim to taxation rights have
sought protection in legislation.

The Vermont legislature last win
ter authorized commission to meet
with a similar body from New Hamp-
shire, to take up the whole matter

of the boundary dine and to make pro

than 6,oooooo ferns shipped out. Of
the mountains this season the sum to-
tai is easily reached.
ne industry IS comparatively new
and was brought about by the discov-
cry of the florists that the addition of
few ferns as a background for a
box of blossoms added materially to
the value of the purchase in the ewes
OF customer, especially in winter
Since it became known that the ferns
could be kept all winter in cold storage
the business of gathering and retail
ing has increased rapidly until there
are at present many firms i'm New York
and Massachusetts which give it their
entire attention.

 Another repore which lacks some of the features of verification contained in that of the loss of the children is that from seven to seventeen were drowned after nightfa1l.
 Thousands of persons, separated from members of their families tonight, are frantic because they are unable to get into comm unication with their hones Hundreds of fathers, sons. brothers, sisters and daughters left their homes on, the west side of the city this morn ing for work before the Scioto river had reached a flood stage.
 Wringing their hands, weeping and appealing vainly for help, scores of girls are growing as close to the wa ter's edge in the darkness tonight as state troops on duty and policemen will allow them, but It is doubtful if they will be able to cross the stream to their home district by morning.
 It was estimated that 10000 persons are homeless on the west side and that 15.000 are living on the second floors of their homes.
 Only about 10 per cent. of the street cars are able to operate and steam railroads and interurban lines are tied UP.
 The loss by reason of the flood is estimated at millions of dollars.
