VERMONT LOSES A GOOD FRIEND

VERMONT LOSES A GOOD FRIEND
News of the untimely end of Maxwell
Evarts of Windsor and New York city
comes as a great shock to many people
in the two States in which his activities
have been carried on for many years,
and particularly to the many friends he
has made in his adopted State of Yer
mont, where he was gladly welcomed
because of the urbanity of his manner
and his undoubted interest in the up
building of the State in many ways.
Although a native of New York, his in
terests largely centered in Vermont and
chiefly in the section about Windsor.
He was largely instrumentalint the State
fair at White River Junction and during
each year of the existence of that or
ganization he was foremos figure I'M
til the present year, when i'll health
forbade him to give his customary at
tention; but he was permitted to see
his ambition bear fruit in the form of a
stupendous exhibition which has few
superiors in New England. Then, too,
in the industrial development of south
eastern Vermont he was much con-
cerned, being vce-president of the
great machine shops at Windsor, as
well as being the heal of one of the
large banking institutions there. In the
revival of interest in Morgan horse
breeding in Vermont, where once Nor
gan horse fame rivaled that of Ken
lucky, he was most enthusiastic, and
that interest has resulted in great up
building of that branch of the State S
activities. Agriculture also got a con-
siderable impetus from him, as he put
into practical use some of the best ideas
in scientific farming. So in all these
affairs, Maxwell Evarts gave much to
Vermont. In return for these services
it is to be hoped that he received nc
small satisfaction in his residence il
Vermont and in noting the hearty CO.
operation which was accorded him by
the State and by the people of the
State. Barre Times.

ESTIMATE OF TIMBER
ON THE STATE FORESTS.

One of the tasks laid on the State Of
ficers by the last General Assembly,
was the presentation on July /, 1914, of
an inventory of all State property. In
order to have ready an accurate esti-
mate of the State Forests, an assistant
has been employed by the Forester. in
going over these lands in a scientific
way. The following four forests have
been completed: Joseph Battell Forest
in Huntington and DuXbury; L. X.
Jones Forest in Painfeld; George
Aitkin Forest in Mendon; and the newly
acquired tract in Arlington. The total
area of these forests is approximately
3, 1000 acres; and it is estimated that
there is about 1900, 600 feet of lumber;
1000 railroad ties; and 5000 cords of
wood on them. The lumber is chiefly of
spruce, balsam and birch; the railroad
ties chestnut and oak; and the wood of
birch, beech and maple. Over half
of the lumber is on the tract, which
was given the State by Col. Battell,
and which is being used more and
more as park by the people of the
State and from abroad. There I'M
doubtedly should be a good trail up
through this timber, which is some of
the best remaining in this State. The
present trails, both from Bolton and
Duxbury, are almost entirely in un-

FRIDAY. OCTOBER II, 1913.
The Middlebury Register:

The Progressive party is planning to
put into the field next year in the State
of Vermont full ticket including can
didates for all State and County officers;
also Congressional and Senatorial candi-
dates for the United States House and
Senate and we propose to push vigor-
GUS campaign from now on. The Pro-
gressive party is not planning or has
not planned for a fusion movement,
with either of the old time parties.
Any information which has gone into
the press, based on any resolutions by
our State Committee, which were passed
simply for the purpose of inviting peo-
pie to support our platform and candi-
dates, should not mislead any one to
think that we have contemplated fu-
sion. We propose to conduct clean
campaign with our own party platform,
and with our own party ticket, we are
planning to hold meetings within the
next month in both the First and Second
districts, with the Hon. Victor Murdoch
of Kansas as our speaker.

Although thrown beneath an automo-
bile, Hugh Morash, q years old, of 1l6
Summer street, WATERFOWL, and his in
FAINT son, Walter, escaped injury on
Common street, WATERFOWL, Monday
night. Physicians who attended them
said last night that the child, who is
but five months old, suffered no i'll eff
fects from being hurled from his car
riage.
The automobile, owned and driven by
A. S. White of 81 Knowles street,
Watertown, and containing his wife and
two daughters, was descending the
steep grade on Common street, and
when the glare of the searchlights
brought Morash, his wife and the baby
carriage within sight, White sounded
the horn. Mrs. Morash ran to the side
of the road, but her husband, evidently
confused, turned back and walked d.
rectly in front of the machine.
White threw on his emergency brake
and when the crash came was moving
slowly. The baby was hurled 10 feet
forward, landing on the cushions of his
carriage, and when the auto came to a
stop, was beneath it. Morash was be-
meath the machine, but made his way
out unaided. White, with the assist
ance of DR.. E. A. Andrews of Newton
Centre, who was passing, lacked up the
car and eXtricated the infant. -Bostor

interesting burned areas.
1t is the plan of the Forestry Depart
ment to develop the other three forests
as models of good business manage
ment, similar to the forests of Germany.
The inventory, such as that just made,
is the first step necessary in any bust
ness. The European plan is to derive
an annual income from the forests by
Gu ting the mature and inferior lumber,
thus making room for better and faster
growing trees. No more is removed,
however, in a given period than grows
during the same period. AS soon as
studies, now under way, by the YER
mont Agricultural Experiment station,
are completed, it will be possible for
land owners to accurately determine
the annual growth of timber on their
lands. No trees are cut on any of the
State Forests except those marked
under the direction of the Forester.
These are either sold standing, or are
cut under contract. AS it is often diff
ficult to sell stumpage under restrictions
of this kind, more usual way is to
have the lumber and wood contracted.
On account of lack of funds, no opera
tons of this kind can be carried on at
present, and the forests cannot serve
their full demonstration purpose. II
money is made available for this pur.
pose, it will, of course, be returned tc
the State Treasury with profit as soor
as the material cut has been sold.

DEATH AND DAMAGE.
New England Coast is Swept by a
Near Hurricane that Kills
Two Men,

New England's entire coast line was
swept Tuesday by violent storm that
left death and ruin in its wake.
Many small fishing schooners, caught
miles from shore when the storm broke,
have been lost, it is feared. Large YES
sells were reported Tuesday in distress
almost everywhere along the coast, and
some of these will probably be pounded
to pieces by the giant waves.
Tuesday night only two deaths had
been definitely reported that of Gun
ner's Mate H. A. Clarity of the U. S.
S. Paulding, who was drowned only a
week after his marriage during the tor
ped) f1otillas war game, and that Of
Capt. Sears Perry of Provincetown,
drowned off Scorton Beach. 1t will
probably be many days before the full
cost of the storm can be definitely fixed.
Many stories of thrilling rescues came
from points all along the coast. High
waves and heavy winds made it almost
suicidal to venture in small boats, yet
seamen put out in dories without a
thought of their own danger to aid the
crews of vessels in peril.
