ter.

The Lee county court house has
been considerably improved during the
past six weeks and even If a new
building is not possible for the pres
ent, at least, the old one has been
made more modern and little more
presentable In appearances.
The first Improvement was the in
stallation of electric drop lights in
the vault in the Office of the clerk Of
the district court. This vault was q
breeder for fires, because attorneys
were forced to rummage through boxes
OF documents and old papers with one
hand while they held faring matches
in the other. When the match burned
too close 1t was usually droppel in a
hurry, and might have caused fire.
Following this innovation in one Of
flce the supervisors decided to change
the lights In the building from gas
to electric. O en- wiring was install
ed in the first and second corridors,
and In the Offices on either side, a
light was installed in the recorders
vault, and lights were placed ii the
court room and in the judges. cham.
Der, and the jury rooms
Conduit work was installed In the
county Jail and that part OF the
building Is now all electrically light
ed.
Following this improvement, ClerA
Curtis M. Hart made some change.
In the arrangement of his ONCE, had
some shelves put in, and the facil
tiles for keeping blanks for various
uses enlarged. 1t was then decided
by the board to paint and decorate
such offices as needed it and wanted
It.

The Dog River Valley Fair.

Preparations are all but completed
for the annual three days fair of the
Dog River Valley association. lndica-
tions point to the most successful ex-
hibit since the fair association first
pitched its tents on the banks of the
Dog and established one of the most
popular places of recreation in central
Vermont. Not in score of years has
the demand for horse and cattle accom-
modations been so large. Even now re-
quests for an unprecedented number OF
stock stalls and pens have been received
and the applications are constantly
growing. The display of horses prom
ises TO outstrip anything that the Dog
River fairgrounds ever saw before.
Track events have brought in a large
number of entries For the 2:50 race,
the racing superintendent has received
no less than thirteen entries. A card of
fifteen horses for the 2:30 class has
been made up and ten and nine horses
have been entered for the 2:20 and 2;l5
events. Fair folks this year will be
treated to something decidedly novel in
aviation stunts. The Thor Aviation Co.
is sending one of it's best operators to

NEW CLAIMANTS FOR

Three Alberta Trarpers Say They Dis

Stefansson.

Edmonton, Alberta, Aug. 30.-Three
Fort Simpson trappers, G. /. Descham'
ault and Joseph and William Hudson,
who have Just returned from long
Journey to the far north, deny the claim
of Vilihalmur Stefansson, the arctic ex-
plorer, that he is the discoverer of the
tribe of blond Eskimos. They declare
that in penetrating the wilds of the far
north with an Eskimo guide, they heard
stories of strange tribe and that,
guided to the camp, they found Eskt'

have spent years in the cold and winds
of the far north. They say that they
spent three weeks with the tribe. which
numbered 800 and obtained valuable
skins. When Stefansson arrived, they
declare, they were already there and
the members of the tribe then told of
other and larger tribes similar to them
selves on the shores of the arctic. The
trappers claim to have pushed on north

their return to civilization.

BELGIUMs NATIONAL DEFENCE

War at Any Time.

Brussels, Aug. 29.-Belgium's con-
binued activity in adopting certain well
defined measures of national defence and
protection keeps alive in every ones
mind the alarming ideas that aremd cor

The government does not divulge what
It believes or fears; it quietly goes

The people to speculate as they will.
The Belgian army has been increased

precedent; never before has the coun-
try had so many men under arms in
times of peace, and Antwerp, on the
Scheldt, already one of the strongest
lortresses in Europe, is rapidly being
strengthened evidently with the idea of
making the city as near impregnable as
possible. Belgium has gold reserve of
s4s,O00,000; this is the national treas
nre. In order further to ensure its safe
ty large part of this money has been
moved from Brussels to Antwerp. the
reason given being that the latter city

FRANCE CHEAP PLACE TO LIVE
Comfortable Farm Houses Rented for
$50 a Year.

Paris. Aug. 30.-One of the cheapest
places to live in all France, and at the
same time one of the most attractive
to lovers of the open country, is the
sunny village of Trepied, in picturesque
Picardy. This little town is close to the
very fashionable seashore resorts Of
Paris PLACE and lie Touquet, where
prices have scared to the skies, but
nevertheless il remains the simple viii
lage that Carrot first discovered nearly
a hundred years ago.
Carot painted some of his well known
canvasses near Trepied, and the beauty
of the surrounding country makes an
equally strong appeal to artists to-day,
for the Piscardy village has been fire.
quented of late years by group OF
American and English artists, many of
whom have become famous. To mention
only few there are Frank Brangwyn,
Sir Alfred East, Hughes Stanton, Henry
S. Hubbell, Frederick Frieseke, II. O..
Tanner and Dudley Hardy; indeed there
lis hardly an American painter who hos
studied in Europe but has spent one or
more summers painting the silver sand
dunes and pine woods along the coast,
or the stately poplars and rich pasture
inland. Trepied soon became too small
and the artist visitors flowed over into
the fishing town of Etaples and the
famous old walled city of Montreuilsur-
Mer, made famous by Victor Hugo and
Laurence Sterne.
Life is cheap within the boundaries of
the colony. Comfortable farmhouses,
with gardens and barn studios may be
rented for fifty dollars year, and there
is an excellent market thrice weekly
at Etaples at which the gossip of the
colony is exchanged. At Paris PLACE
and lie Touquet gather many persons of
wealth and fashion and there is golf
and polo; but the two wards meet only
at the annual summer picture exhibi-
tion which, started six years ago in the
parish room attached to the church at
Paris PLACE, is now one of the finest
art shows in the French provinces.

RURAL LETTER CARRIERS.
Hold Their Annual Convention in
Montpelier.

The ninth annual state convention of
the Vermont Rural Letter Carriers as
sociation opened yesterday afternoon IN
the memorial room OF the Montpelier
city hall and had an attendance of about
35 carriers. Joseph g. Brown, the Mont
pelier postmaster welcomed them to the
city and Rev. Albert II. Spence, jr., gave
the invocation.
Mayor James b. Estee also welcomed
the guests to the city, giving few sta
tistics in regard to the extension of the
rural delivery system. According to his
statement, there are about 10000 car
riers, covering something over l,OO0,OoO
miles day.
j. J. McCuirk OF East Wallingford re-
sponded and Miss Hazel Huffmire Of
Rutland gave two recitations. J. I'll.
Beckwith Of Bethel, state president,
spoke principally in regard to the condi-
ton of the association The speech OF
the afternoon was by Mason $. Stone,
who spoke concerning the deserted sec
tions of country over which the car
riers pass on their daily trips He laid
this condition to the failure of the far
mer to learn the best methods of pro-
ruction and distribution The farmers
in Vermont have not learned to cooper
ate as they have in the west and for
this reason butter, potatoes, etc, can be
brought here from the west and sold
cheaper than produce grown in the east.
1t seemed to Mr.. Stone, however, that a
reaction was coming and the trend was
again toward the country.
AT the evening session, on account OF
the absence of Charles Mcbride of Essex
Junction, one of the speakers, those
present enjoyed an informal discussion
concerning the relative merits an an au-
tomobile and horse in delivering mail.
A. H. Stewart of Wallingford, delegate
to the national convention at Nashville,

of Thetford read paper on "The In

REVOLT FORCES
NEW INCOME TAX
Conservative Senate Democrats See NC
Way but To Humor the Radical
Forces.

Washington, Aug. 30.-It was admit
ted Yesterday by conservative senate
Democrats that they would be obilged
to make some concessions to the radicals
who are insisting on higher rates OF
taxation on incomes from great fortunes.
But while they will yield to some ex-
tent. they are not prepared to go to the
lengths of the La Toilette amendment,
which would impose tax OF lo per cent
on incomes over 100000. The situation
is such that bitter fight is fully eX-
pected when the Democratic caucus
takes up the matter of revising the IN
come tax provisions.
Conservative Democratic leaders are
sore at the radicals for kicking up row
over the income tax. Senator John
sharp Williams of the finance commit
tee, who is in charge of the income
tax provisions of the tariff BILL said
the rebellion by Senator's Vardaman and
Ashalrst excited only disgust in the
minds of most of the majority mem
bers.'
Senator Williams said, however, the
committee on finance would probably
suggest to the caucus two or three new
classifications which would impose a
heavier rate on incomes above S250,00O
year, but otherwise it would recon-
mend the rates remain as they are.
Senator Vardaman said the La Fol-
lette rates were none too high, and he
would do all he could to get the caucus
to adopt them.

Earl, three year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.

not hear the little fellow get out OF
bed She was awakened by the crack
ling of flames. She was just in time to
save herself and the other children and
to arouse the family of n. w. Sherman
in the upper tenement. Mrs. Goodricf's
nightdress caught fire as she rushed ont
of doors through the kitchen, the others
leaving by windows. She was not
severely burned. The interior of the
kitchen was gutted but the fremen
saved the rest of the house. Earl was
back in bed fast asleep when his mother
discovered the fire.
