time nearly all Of the foreign Powers
had recognized the Huerta regime.

was recalled his resignation to take
effect in October the embassy being

step was the sending Of John Lind of
Minnesota to act as adviser TO Mr.
O'Shaughnessy. Mr. Lind arrived at the
Mexican capital August 10.
Mr. Lind and Senor Gamboa, Foreign
Minister in the Huerta Cabinet, en-
tered upon series OF negotiations
which resulted in nothing definite. The
Mexican dema nded recognition as a
preliminary, and Mr.. Lind insisted upon
the holding Of a constitutional conven-
tion and the assurance that Huerta
would not be candidate for office.
Meanwhile the revolutionary leaders
We're making 1t hot for Huerta. The
rising in the north OF the so-called Con-
stitutionalists, led by Nenustiano Car
rama. was gaining ground and there
were numerous dissensions in Huerta's
official family Gen. Felix DlaZ. who
put Huerta into power. disagreed with
the dictator and finally left the city.
Early In November President Wilson,
through Charge dAffaires OShauGh-
messy. made a demand upon Huerta for
his resignation. No attention was paid
to this nor to the earlier demand that
no election should DE held under
Huertas supervision. The dictator pro-
ceeded to carry out his original inten-
tion, the new Congress was convened
Mr.. I.ind's final proposals were rejected
and Huerta assumed an attitude of de-
fiance.
ON November IL DR. william Bayard
Hale, one of President Wilson's unofficial
agents. had long conference with Car

which did not result In any special ad-
vantage. The Administration policy Of

BUILDING IN ST. JoHNsBURY.
Approximately $4,000 Was Expended in
Homes During Present Season.

st. Johnsbury, Aug. 26.-Word is
passed along that comparatively few
people in this village realize the extent
OF building operations which have beer
going on during the present year. TC
the end that the public may have some
approximate idea of this particular in
Commercial club has gathered the fol
lowing data. The houses are either in
process Of erection or practically com
pleted Most OF them are erected for
rental purposes, thus supplying a long
felt want in st. Johnsbury for the influx
OF people who come here to gain liyeli-
hood.
Charles Stanley leads off with his two
tenement house on Spring street, APP
proximate worth $4,000; Miles Hoyey,
tenement house, $500; Mrs. Ella
Harvey, Concord avenue residence, 49,
500; st. Johnsbury Realty Co, three
cottages near Fairbanks village, cottage
style, $500 each; st. Johnsbnry Realty
Go. has sold a lot to Frank c. Sherburne
in Summervile, and it is understood
that he viii build a house there soon.
This same company has holdings OF real
estate near the oil tanks, where it pro-
poses to erect three houses right away.
George Bclanger has a wo-tenement
house on Orchard street, $4,000; Arthur
Godding. a three tenement house on Mt.
Vernon street, $500: Charles Young, a
three-tenement house, $780, Arthur
Cook, two-tenement house on Mt. Yer
non street, $1,000; Fred Chabot, one
tenement house near underpass, $1,000;
Harry Chesley, one-tenement house on
Mt. Vernon street, 81 600; Frank For
sythe, house, $500, and Ernest Brown,
house on Green street, - 500; Solomon
Chckering is building a house on Web
stcr street, approximate value, $500
John Gale is also building a house
in Paddock's village and Robert Lewis
has begun to dig his cellar for small
block on Eastern avenue.
This information does not comprise
the houses built by the Fairbanks Scale
nor does it have to do with
the extensive building operations which
have been going on at the Fairbanks
factory during the year. There have
been several houses torn down and re-
built, making practically new construc-
ton. which is not contemplated here.
Doubtless there have been more build
ings erected which the writer knows not
Of, which would swell the aggregate sum
Of money spent in this enterprise. SUI
fee it TO say, however, that conserva-
tive estimate would reveal $4,000 in
building construction about the village
and that mainly invested in simple, cosy
cottages and tenements of great utility
for people of moderate means.

their individual forest problems with the
state forester.
In the evening Of September 3, the
meeting will be held at the town hall
There will be an illustrated lecture by
State Forester Halves on Forestry Prae'
tice in Vermont" and a talk by his
assistant, b. A. Chandler, on Making
the Woodlot Pay Better" Opportunity
will be given for free discussion.
The following forenoon the conference
will be continued in the woods (place
to be announced at time of evening
meeting). TIE foresters will take up
local forest problems and will explain
the best methods of planting forest
trees, thinning out young woodlots, and
harvesting mature timber. Timber es-
Inmates will also be considered. If time
allows, the fOresters will mark the
trees which should be cut in the woodlot
for the greatest profit. In other words,
this conference is brief forest school,
which is open to all without charge.
In other parts of the state, owners
of woodlots are taking advantage of the
work of the foresters, and both MIR.
Halves and Mr.. Chandler go more often
than in years past to consult with own
ers among their own trees. 1t must be
remembered that this state forest serv-
ice is for everybody, and it is the hope
of the foresters that they may yet show
the boys Of Vermont well-managed wood
lands in every farm locality, that are
increasing in value, coming up rather
than going down or being cut off reck.
lessly. In a land where woodlots and
farm fields are gaining in value, there is
more to interest young people in owning
or managing land. The word that the
foresters are passing along to us is more
revenue from our lands.

which recently passed Brattleboro are
having much difficulty with the drive be-

Power company's dam at Vernon. In
stead of moving the logs forward, they
are losing ground by reason of the
wind, which is blowing the drive back
toward Brattleboro. Thursday the logs
were within three-fourths of mile of
the dam but in the afternoon the wind
changed. A light boom had been con

what ground had been gained, but the

the boom broke and the logs started up
