Judge Cullen, the court had decided
that article 4 was broad enough to
permit consideration of the Peck in
cident as a basis of a substantive
charge"
No light was thrown by the presid-
ing judge on why the Morganthau
testimony was not included under
the article but it was reported that
the majority held that in view of
the fact that the alleged offenses
which it covered were committed
after the impeachment they should
not apply with article four, which
had to do with the suppression of
evidence before the F'rawley com
mittee.
During the long delay in the morn
ing session the hopes Of friends of
the governor were buoyed up great
ly. They professed to believe that
a deadlock had resulted and that the
enemies of the governor were ex-
periencing difficulty in establishing
their contentious before the court.
The rumored result OF the balloting
seemed to discourage the Sulzer fol-
lowing, however.

new SCHEDULES
WOULD RESULT
IN BIG DEFICIT
Telephone Official Says Rates
Are Fair and Reasonable
MADE BUT 2 P. C. LAST YEAR
Reduced Prices Would Result in In
ferior Service to Subscribers in
Vermont.

Montpelier, Oct 15.-Vice Presi-
dent Hall of the New England Tele-
phone company concluded his direct
testimony before the public service
commission this noon.
He said that he had been endeavor
ing to show thus far that his com
pany's present rate schedules. for
both exchange and toll service, are
fair and reasonable and that they
are both eminently fair to the state
of Vermont; that they have both
been approved after long and care
fully considered investigation by the
public service Of Massachusetts,
where the largest part of the proper
ty of the company is situated.
In summing up, he said that the
net revenue of the New Englands
four subsidiary companies was only
$4,000 last year or less than . per
cent on the investment. That these
rates are well adapted to Vermont is
shown by the development of 1872
per cent which is The highest de-
velopment of any of the four states,
Notwithstanding that the revenue
pc telephone station in Vermont is
only $22.10 in Vermont as against
$2490 in Maine, $26.S0 in New Hamp
shire, and $3095 in Massachusetts.
In Massachusetts he said the com
pany gets 227 telephones in a square
mile while Vermont averages only
Sla telephones per square mile for
the New England company and 81
telephones per square mile if tin,
New England and subsidiaries are
considered Jointly.
If the proposed schedules were put
into effect it would represent a
total reduction of $1OS,942 and leave
a heavy deficit He claimed that
such an order would not only be I'M
fair to the telephone company but
also TO the people of Vermont be.

WHERE WATER is SCARCE

! Sheen ON the Nebo national forest.
| Utah, go four and a half months with
out water except for such moisture as
they get from the dew and the juices
of forage plants.
Grazing sheep on a range entirely
destitute of water is a recent limo
walton due to the increasing demand
for forage and the efforts of the for
est officers to find place on the for
est ranges for all the stock that can
safely be admitted. The area on the
Nebo which has now proved disable
by sneep is high and rocky, a portion
of it being above timber line, and it
has neither springs nor streams of
sufficient lie or accessibility to be
used for stock watering purposes.
The grazing season lasts from June
Is to October 81, and during this per-
iod of four and half months the ami
mails do not get drink.
Under such conditions, however,
the sheep have done extremely well
and last years lambs from this range
had an average weight at the close
of the season of IS pounds on the
Chicago market, which was rather
above the normal weight from that
vicinity. .. 30 E',,

And this warm weather is the de-
light of all who love the glow of sum-

l"It is as if the aged earth was hav-
ing its youth renewed in the eternal
fire of the everlasting sun. With the
caloric waves pulsing the heated air
see what blessings come riding on the
steamy hours: Cherries crimson on
the trees, harvests whiten on the
plain, the perfume rises from the hay,
Sweet Marie, and the corn puts forth
its triumphant tassel and yellow silk
en- hair. Blessed be the beneficient
and benign heat! The whole world
of nature rejoices in the sun bath and
store-houses are filed against what
time the snow and ice type a uniyer-
sal death. The man who complains
about the heat is an ungrateful being,
"a snarly cur that bites the hand that
feeds IT," &
