VALLEY TRACK TEAMS PEPAR-
ING FOR ANNUAL MEETING
ON VICTOR FIELD.
WINNER CAN'T. Be PICKED
Victor, Having Lost Dowd, Who Won
the Championship Last Year, Is on
League.

Hamilton, April G.-QSpeciai)-The
third annual interscholastic meet of
the schools of Ravalli county will be
held at Victor on Saturday, April &c.
Inc meet will be gwen over to spell
ing, essay and declamatory contests,
with the big field meet held Saturday
afternoon. The declamatory contest
will be held ON Saturday evening.
Much interest has been taken by the
schools of the county in the events
of the past two meets, but it is ex>
pected that yet greater interest will
pc manifested this year. In the past
meets the field meet events have
been parclpitated in by contestants
from the Victor, SteVensville, Corval-
lis and Hamilton schools. Principal
Hoist of Victor, the leading spirit n
the meet, announces that the Darby
school will participate this year for
the first time. In the spelling con
tests for the high school and the
grades many of the smaller schools
of the county have participated with
success.
The officers Of the meet have al
ready distributed instructions to the
various schools of the county. and the
various teams, principally the track
teams, have started active training
Tor the events, Last year the track
meet was won by the Victor team,
its victory being largely due to the
splendid individual work of Edward
DoWd, who is wearing the University
of Montana colors his spring. Wheth-
er the Victor team will spring a man
of DoWd's caliber this season is not
known, but Victor can always be re-
lied upon to SEM a bunch of husky
and capable athletes into the meet.
The Stevensvile team is always a
strong contender in all Of the events
and can be relied upon to worry other
competitors. Corvallis comes to the
meet with a smaller team, but always
mas good short distance The
local team is one of promise. 1t is
still in an undeVeloped state but looks
mighty good in it's crude state. Prac-
tically all of the s%printers of last sea-
sons team are still in school, which
will mean that Hamilton should make
a good record in the track events. Not
so much is possibilities of the team
in the weight n jumping events.
Some good material has reported to
Coach Inbusch, and the next two
weeks will show what it is worth.
Coach lnbusch is not saying much
about the team, but is getting all pos
sible work out of it in an effort to
bring out the ability of the different
candidates.

HIGH SCHOOL BAND
WOULD PLAY
At MEET
HAMlLTON'S SCHOLASTIC MUSh~
CLANS ANXIOUS TO SHOW
SPEED IN MlSSOULA.

Hamilton, April 6.-(Special. )-Why
shouldn't the local high school band
be heard at the state interscholastic
month? This question is being fire.
quently asked here by those inter-
ested in the meet and the and boys.
The meet is an event participated in
by pupils of the high schools of the
state; in other words, it is the pupils
meet. Hamilton enjoys, so far as is
known here, the distinction of main
tanning the only high school band in
the state, an organization capable. of
furnishing good music. With the
band but 80 miles from the coming
meet, it appears to those locally in
terested in the boys as though but
little effort would be necessary to
make real scholastic band music an
enjoyable feature of the meet. The
band has been a musical organiZa-
ton for two years, and is nov
handling entertaining music in a
pleasing manner The band appears
at all local high school functions and
frequently for own events, the kid
musicians always getting the glad
hand. The band furnished the music
at the Ravalli county fair last fall,
also being featured at the state
Eagles convention, held in this city.
sharing honors on Friday with the
Missoula band. The band will be
heard at the Ravalli county scholas-
tic meet to be held at Victor this
month.

Butte, April "a meeting of the
state boxing commission was held to-
day, all the members being present.
The commission cannot organize. I'M
der the law until April Is. but met
today to discuss rules for the conduct
of all boxing contests to be pulled off

Roberts will do the backstopping

fact that the Skipper deserves a Word

more than a split finger. This spring

With the exception Of last january,
when c. Victor Grant of the Charles II.
Grant Granite company informed the
board of trade that there was ledge
OF fine granite near the Vernon road
on the old Howe farm, upon which an
option had been secured, that was
awaiting development to place Brattle-
boro on the map as one of the big gran
tie producing places in the state, but
little publicity has been given to the
enterprise New. however, Il Substan-
tial beginning has been made. Time will
tell whether the prediction of Mr.. Grant
will he fulfilled, but he and others who
are familiar with the situation say that
tie erection Of finishing shed and the
continuing of the development of the
quarry will make the prediction Il
reality.
At the time when Mr.. Grant first in
formed the board Of trade that he had
known Of the ledge five years. had care
fully investigated it and had showed
samples OF various grades of dark gran
lite taken from the deposit, few were

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
EDGAR LITTLEToN THE BAsso.
OF Boston Opera Aggregation That
Will Sing Here Tuesday.

Few bassos in the world have the
brilliancy of tone combined with the
deep, rich quality that makes Edgar
Littleton stand out as the one great
hasso in America. In every city
where he has appeared in concert his
triumph has been distinct. and in the
tour by noted stars of the Boston
Opera Company his personal triumph
has been exceeded by none of the
more famous artists, including such
well known stars as Umberto Sacchetti,
Giovanni Gatti, ,Nikola Oulanchanoff
and Romeo Malpica. 1t has been said
that there are more great male singers
in the aggregation than have ever
been putt into a touring company
before, aud local music lovers will
have aphaneeeof Judging the truth Of
this statement ON Tuesday evening
next when the company comes for the
second time to sBfattleboro.
Mr.. LittIeton does not sing in the
opera .CavalleEia Rustieana. which is
presented in complete form, but in the
concert program he sings arias that
thrill and delight every listener. His
II Laceato Spirito. from Verdi 5 Simon
Bocanergra is always a hit, as are his
arias from Ernani, Philemon ct Baucis,
and The Heart Bowed Down from The
Bohemian Girl.
The aggregation a 4 whole is larger
ana better than last year. according
to newspaper reports from cities
aleadv visited Mines. Maria de Gabbi
and Gertrude Hutchinson are the prima
donna sopranos. Miles. Ernestine
| Gauthier and Frances Woodwine the
prima donna contraltos. and Mime.
| JoseGna Roudera is the Spanish mezzo-
soprano who sings Mama Lucia in

with the depth.
It has not been all outgo with no in
come, by any means, for some - car
loads of rough stone have been shipped
from the quarry for use by the Hol-
brook, Cabot & Rollins corporation in
their railroad work III this locality and
fine granite for the making of half a
dozen monuments has been taken out
and several Of them have been finished
and placed in cemeteries.
Some of the pieces taken from the
quarry. which have been polished at the
c. H. Grant Granite company s plant
on the Island show that the granite
from this quarry takes a very dark pol
ish giving a stronger contrast between
the cut and polished section than any
other stone quarried in this state,
which makes the lettering and fine or
namental work particularly distinct
This quarry at Vernon is in a vein
a few hundred feet la width and about
half Il mile in length and III this respect
resembles the veins in the famous quar-
ries at Westerly, r l., which are gen
orally less than 100 feet in width and
some of them mile long.
The option which the granite com
pany has at Vernon covers some 50 acres
! and thus far it has been proved beyond
! question that the stone varies from Il
medium coarse grain. somewhat similar
to the coarser grained stone found at
| Barre, to a granite as fine a. any quar-
/ ried ut Westerly.
! Vermont leads all of the states of the
| Union in the production of high-gradt
stone and produces more granite than
any other three states combined. Most
of the monumental stone comes from
the Barre quarrics. while the grant,
building stone comes principally from
the quarries at Hardwick, Woodbur,
and Bethel.

They hold that sedementary rocks Iill

formations were the principled rocl
surface OF the earth and that grant
came to be near the surface when dun
ing some upheaval OF the earth whe
the uppercrusts were broken and fl
sured, il forced It's way upward in
molten state, filling the gaps and creN
ices and in some places Overlooking.

This would account for the difference
in the formation of the granite intru
sions at Dummerston, where it is a
wide ledge en- the surface and at Yer
non, where it is merely a vein. luci
dentalIy it may be mentioned that this
same Brattleboro Granite company has
an option on large section of granite
formation at Dummerston and it Is by
no means beyond the possibilities tina
this may be developed in the near flu
turc. The Dummerston granite is o.
light color.
From l. to IS men have been working
steadily at the Vernon quarry since
May, and if the coming winter is a
open as was that OF last year, they may
work the greater part Of the cold
weather, although the stone is supposed
not to break So well if frozen. 1t is not
a paying proposition to work quarry
after snow has fallen to any depth.
To make a quarry like this nj Yer
non pay to the greatest advantage
! finishing shed is TN essential, and il wa
/ the plan Of the company when organized
! providing the quarry developed as Mr.
/ Grant predicted it would and rs il has
since done, to erect such a shed on prop
crty across the road from the quarry. II
is in these properly equipped sheds that
the rough stone is prepared fer the mar
ket. 1t is not unlikely that a large
granite finishing plant to employ a large
number CT men viii be erected here in
| Brattlchoro, to finish stones from both
the Vernon and Dummerston quarries.
There are very few dealers in stone
in the country who maintain their own
finishing sheds. BY building modern
finishing plant on the property con
trolled by the concern the Brattleboro
Granite company would have an advan-
tage over most similar concerns by rea
son Of better facilities The plan Of the
new company is TO take over the Grant
Granite company : equipment.
In the first place the matter OF trans
portation OF the rough stone to tn,
finishing plant would be rraet ie"llz
nothing. Electric power in large guam
tity is TO be had near 1T hand ANA ther,
, is an abundance OF water power clos,
by, while there is ample room for tn,
, dumping Of all waste stone for man,
: years to come Furthermore. the fac
a that the quarry and finishing plant vii
+ be close to the railroad would make i
a feasible to crush the waste stone ma
r terial into trap rock for roul buildin;
and similar purposes.
