SERIOUS YEAR FOR WRECKS.

New York, April 1.-THE year 1913
has proved thus far the most disas-
trous three months that shipowners on
both sides of the Atlantic have eXper-
fenced in nearly 80 years. Correct
estimates of the loss caused by the
series of storms that have swept the
coasts of Europe and America are diff
ficult to obtain, but one authority who
based his figures on the Lloyds reports
said yesterday that the damage to
deep-sea vessels alone would amount
to $1,000 900. This does not include
the loss suffered by the coasting trade
eral millions. During the month of
January alone one agency reported
the loss or partial wreckage of 1913
sailing vessels and SO steamships.
January was the month of the largest
number of wrecks. The estimate of
$1,000, 600 for the total damages to
deep-sea ships was obtained after de-
Quoting probable salvage from the
Lloyds estimate of losses. One result
of the years storms has been the
humiliation of many of the few wooden
schooners left in the American coast
ing trade. American shippers, it is
SAID will have to depend hereafter
largely upon barges and steam freight
ers. The price of all ocean vessels
has risen. A member of the Mari
time Exchange said yesterday that it
cost almost twice as much to buy a
ship now as it did three years ago.
This increase is due in part to the ad-
vance in the cost of shipbuilding ma
terials. The rise in marine insurance
rates, which was started by the loss of
the Titanic, has received additional i'm
pulse from the large number of recent
wrecks.

BARS MUSICAL AUTO HORN
French Judge Says Law Requires
Single Note.

Paris. April 1.-THE musical auto
mobile horns which threaten to fill
the main streets of Paris with snatches
of popular or classical airs instead Of
the usual "honk, honk" have come to
quick finish in France.
A test case was brought against two
motorists of Douai, who enlivened the
night trumpeting the leitmotiv of
ode Walkure," and it has been de-
cided that these instruments are illegal
here. The decision brought out a
judicial definition of the word "horn, "
which had hitherto been rather widely
interpreted.
1.-The latter" said the judge, must
be for the purpose of sounding an alarm
and be used to warn the public, not to
amuse it. 1t must give forth single
note which should be grave, ever
sinister, in order to call attention to the
impending danger.

MORGAN ESTATE 500, 900, 600.
New York State will Receive be-
tween 100000 and $4,000
900 in Inheritance Tax.

Albany, N. y, April 14,-New York
State will receive between $1,000, 900
and 81, 600, 600 in inheritance tax from
the estate of the late j. Pierpont Nor
gan, according to preliminary estimates
made by attaches of the State comp
troller's office today.
The estimate was based on a report
that the total estate will be about $780,
600, OOO The tax is expected to be one
of the largest ever paid.
The graded inheritance tax law, en-
acted in 1910 and amended in 1911, pro-
vides for an increased tax on estates of
this character. 1t imposes on lineal
requests a tax of one per cent. up to
$50, 900; two per cent. up to $3.50, 900;
three per cent. up to $3.50, 900, and four
per cent up to 100000 and over.
The tax is five, six, seven and eight
per cent where the requests are to
collaterals.
A reduction of five per cent. is allowed
if the tax is paid within six months
after the estate is appraised.

which Mr.. Morgan was interested it will

Chicago, April II. Frank James, a
farmer from near Des Moines, Ia, who
is here attending the First National
Conference on Marketing and Farm
Credits, had an experience last night
bordering on the ludicrous, in so far
as the purposes of the meeting is con-
cerned. He attended a theater, max
ing the trip to the playhouse in cab,
and before starting drank a bottle of
milk and changed his room at a hotel.
Then he made a comparison as to
where the farmer falls short in not
getting his share of the ultimate price
paid by the consumer in the city by the
following
Four blocks trip in cab, equivalent to
four bushels of rye.
Tip to bell boy, equivalent to two
pounds of butter.
Bottle of milk, three times what he
was paid for it on farm.
Trip to theater, equivalent to price of
one sucking pig.
THAT Just shows us what we get
back when we have to do the buying
instead of the selling" he said, after
the experience.

VERMONT'S NEW COMMISSIONER
OF AGRICULTURE.

"The best farmer in all Vermont, " is
the way in which Vermont's new and
progressive young Commissioner of
Agriculture is referred to and it's
true.
Ebert S. Brigham was born October
10, 1877, on the farm where he now
lives and which has been in the family
for four generations. He was educated
in the local schools, graduating from st.
Adams academy in 1898, then going to
Middlebury college where he graduated
in 1903, carrying off the highest honors
of that institution. He is a member of
the Phi Beta Kappa society and also of
the d. X. E. fraternity.
Mr. Brigham was president of the
Vermont Horticultural society in 1905
and '06 and is president of the Franklin
County Farm Bureau. He was married
in 1906 to Miss Anna S. Hazen of East
Wallingford.
Gov. Fletcher named Mr.. Brigham as
Commissioner of Agriculture on Feb
ruary 16, 1913, and the Senate promptly
confirmed him.
Mr.. Brigham Immediately upon the
completion of his college course, begar
active farming operations upon the ole
home farm. He began to specialize If
potatoes and soon attracted the atten
ton of the Department of Agriculture
and for several years has been working
in collaboration with this department
testing many varieties of European anC
native potatoes, and incidentally de
veloping a large and profitable business
in seed potatoes. The reputation of hi
stock has become so great that the en-
tire crop is always sold at high price
long in advance of its planting.
Mr. Brigham is making an earnest ant
exhaustive study of agricultural con
ditions throughout the state and witt
his splendid ability and genius is sure t.
raise the standard of the profession t.
the top notch.
Brigham has eyes and he saw a wa,
of putting more and better eyes int
potatoes, and his eyes are making hin
rich. Every other farmers boy has tn
same-yes-and much opportunity
Cor they can profit by the new com
missioner's advice and experience.

BIG SLIDE AT PANAMA.

Washington April II. "A great Shout,
der of rock that for the past few years
had prevented a mountain of earth
from slipping into Culebra cut on the
Panama canal at last has given way
and according to official reports re-
ceived today, the slide has moved into
the canal distance of 80 feet and is
still travelling.
A battery of steam shovels is now
tearing away at the earth and rock.
At the end of March 80 of these engines
were working in the canal prism at that
point and beside this many other
shovels were engaged in terracing the
banks and in miscellaneous operations.
AS result the obstacle has been sc
far overcome that the excavation has
reached grade in all but 5000 feet OF
the ten miles length of cut.

The proposition of the United States
government to purchase 1900 acres OF
timberland on the western slope of Mt
Moosilauke in New Hampshire directly
interests Vermont and other states
having connection with the Connecticut
river, because the western slope of the
mountain is a watershed for the river.
If the denuding of the mountains OF
their forests is one great contributing
cause to the huge floods of the present
day, as confidently asserted, then the
preservation of the timber on Mt. Moosl-
lauke is of concern to all the New Eng
land states bordering on, or traversec
by the Connecticut. From the stand
point of beauty of White mountain
scenery and from the standpoint OF
tree preservation, too, the proposition
commends itself as good. Barre Times.

PLANTING PINES IN STATE
TRACT.

State Forester A. F. Halves is In
Townshend experimenting the planting
on the State tract, bought short time
ago, of 10000 white pine trees and
5000 Scotch pines. More pines are
expected later. The present planting
is being done on the old abandoned farm
land.
The white pines, which are three
years old, were raised in the State
nursery at Burlington, but the Scotch
pines came from Connecticut. The
State has several hun dred thousand
3-year- old white pines which are selling
at S. thousand, and orders have been
received for a quarter of million
plants,
The planting will continue from year
to year until the whole tract is covered
Next year the planting will be done or
cut-over land This work is made pos.
sible by the recent appropriation by the
legislature and is similar to that on the
State forests in Lyndon, Plainfield

BANK BOOK VERIFICATION.

The laws of Vermont require that
each fifth year the trustees of banks
shall call in the deposit books for
examination and verification, and cause
the same to be examined and verified
by some person, other than the treas
urer or his clerks, employed for that
purpose and approved by the bank
commissioner. Under the operation of
that law it becomes necessary in the
year 1913 to verify deposit books, and
State Bank Examiner f. c. Williams of
Newport has designated the month of
May as the period during which such
books shall be returned to the banks
for verifcation. He is now passing
upon the qualifications of verifers Sc
lected by the trustees of banks.
The only way in which a bank S
liabilities can be thoroughly examined
by the bank commissioner is to have a
thorough verificatiOn of the deposit
accounts, and Mr.. Williams asked the
last Legislature to amend the law sc
that the bank commissioner would have
authority to change the methods OF
verification, but the house committee
on banks were not willing to give the
commissioner any more authority ir
that direction. Mr.. Williams is now
urging the banks to make this vertical
ton as thorough as possible and they
are all cooperating earnestly in that
direction.
