The desirabilty and the necessity Of

RADsTREET'S WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
continue to emphasize the lack OF snow,
some cold weather has obtained during
the week and this has had some bene-
fetal effect on trade but as a whole re-
tail merchants report heavy weight goods
are moving slowly. Labor is well en-
ployed which holds out prospects for a
reasonably good trade. Reports for the
month Of January regarding amount of
building work permitted in the United
States showA total of over 100000
which is an increase of l01: per cent, over
the amount permitted during January OF
last year, In the 9S cities reporting. This,
however, was a decrease from the amount
permitted the month previous. In this
State the demand for building material
holds up well. Manufacturers of veneer
state new business is coming in well and
that they have some two months bust
ness ahead II they can obtain logs. There
arc plenty of logs cut and in the woods
but lack OF snow has made 1t difficult to
get these logs to the mills Lamoile
county appears to have plenty of snow
but in other counties there is not much
snow to do work we'll Reports from the
farmers show sales of hay during the
week have been heavy. In certain sec
tons ST. is received per ton while in 9TH

authorities on the subject to seii the
property to the city for $4,000. the
sum fixed at the condemnation near
ing as a fair valuation for the prop
erty.
Tho purchase also includes the land
directly at the foot of college street
which has been the source OF htlga-
ton, and one effect of the transaction,
when ratified by the board OF alder
men, will be to eliminate the cases
now pending in the courts In relation
to the property in question.
This stretch of lake shore has
frontage of 145 feet, and depth OF
ninety feet In time to come this Ian
will have large value for the people
of Burlington in connection with lake
transportation. 1t can be treated as
was the property just north by the eX-
tension of a wharf out into the lake,
like that occupied by the Lake Cham
plain Yacht club, or it can be faced
"''N viz 'irN' bolbpIu III h'S''S ~ -
dredged so that the entire frontage
can be utilized in that way under the
enabling act passed by the Legisla-
ture a number Of years ago empower
ing the city to construct wharf at
the end of any thoroughfare III Bur
| lington.
1t will be recalled that the railroad
company were to receive S27,50o for
| the yacht club wharf under the prop
| ositon submitted to the voters num-
| Der of years ago. but the actual front
age on the lake shore was very small
as compared with that secured in the
present deal.
| We take II for granted that every
bo1y in Burlington will rejoice ovei
| the success of Mayor Roberts in Sc
| curing the contamination of this ar
rangement with the Central Vernon
| for tho purchase of the land In ques
ton and it goes without saying tina
the transaction will be approved -
the aldermen, especially as it will no
be necessary to develop the Wharfage
at any particular time.

POLAR CONTROVERSIES.

1t is a sad commentary on human
nature that the humiliating contro
yersy which followed the rivalry Of
peary and Cook in connection with the
discovery of the north pole, bids fair
o be paralleled by bitter alteration
over the expedition to the south pole
in which Captain Robert f. Scott and
his companions lost their lives. 1t is
went into the Antarctic did not push
south vigorously enough to relieve Cap
tain Scott, DR.. f. A. Wilson, and Lieut..
II. r. Bowers, the last three to die,
only eleven miles from abundant sup
plies. The assertion is made that
these gallant men could have been
aved with a proper degree of energy
tsplayed by the rescue expedition.
The statement prepared by Captain
Jcott as last appeal to the public
ontained, it will be recalled, emphatic
sference to an unaccountable supply
# fuel at the depots, and the fact that
the supporting parties deny that they
made any undue use of this fuel sup
ply may afford some hint of the source
of trouble.
bustion can hardly have occurred, and
there was nobody else about to use up
the fuel provided for the Scott party
on it's return from the dash for the
pole. Indeed, references in the Scott
statement leave a number of things to
be explained to the satisfaction of the
public as well as the scientists con-
cerned in this work.
The discovery by Scott of the land
marks set up by Amundsen at the
south pole showed him that he had
ost in the race for the south pole, and,
While his writings showed that he was
dominated by a brave and generous
spirit, 1t is not difficult to picture the
heaviness of heart that must have been
his on his way hack toward civiliza-
ton.
