REPORT OF
VERMONT

&st Wv
Reports to Bradstreet's in sum-
marizing trade conditions for the
first month of the present year state
that trade has been peculiar and pos
sibly has accentuated the fact that
snow is needed in this state for the
full development of seasonable trade.
Furs and heavier clothing and gar
ments have moved slowly; retail
coal trade has dropped some 20 per |
cent over what was reported for the
same month last year; sleighs have |
not moved and those that have been
sold have remained at the reposi-
tories; warm weather has made the
ice dealers uneasy, for some but in
sheltered cases and smaller bodies
of water, there is no ice. No the
other hand labor has been we'll en-
ployed, the clearance sales that have
obtained have been reasonably we'll
J attended in cities and reduction Of
stocks accomplished boot and shoe
dealers have had a good trade and
furniture stores report that not
Withstanding that January is gen
orally quiet month, buying has been
active. Country trade has been
light and buying for immediate de-
livery has also shared the same way
although for future delivery mer-
chants are reported as having placed
fairly good orders. Lumber dealers
report good demand but the sur
plus stocks are low and not as large
as is usual for the period. An in
creased price is reported on both
soft and hard wood. Some well
favored lumbermen are able to get
logs to mills but as a whole the
movement of logs has been delayed
| by lack Of snow. Granite manufac-
turers report the months business
has been larger than usual but that
work at the quarries has been less
satisfactory. Reports from the
farmers show some work has been
done in pressing hay andthe ship
ments of domestic hay have been
good but the lower market price as
compared with that of a year ago,
has not invited them to dispose of
the heavy stocks on hand. Some Of
them are inclined to hold for a pro-
spective better market later. The
movement of Canadian hay into the
state thus far this year has been
small, because of similar reasons.
Wholesalers report collections are
below normal. Included in the fail
ure reports for che month were one
compromise and six voluntary bank
rupticies with total liabilities Of
$66, 661 .35 and assets Of $43, 1902 las
against four failures for January of
1872, with total liabilities of $27 ,423.-
20. This years liabilities was the
largest of any year for the past
seven years except 1910 which gave
for that month, nine failures with
liabilities of $88, 269.31. There were
seven failures in January, 1911, but
the aggregate liabilities was less than
one half as large as that of months
reported. Damage done from nine
fires affecting thirteen mercantile
interests with a total damage Of
SCI 200, as against eleven fires af-
fecting fifteen firms in January,
1912, showed the smallest number of
fires affecting mercantile interests,
for January, except that number re-
corded in 1909, of any Of the past
seven years, but the damage done
was the largest during that period,
for any January save 1910, which

SUPREME COURT KILLS
 MANY STATE STATUES
Hands Down Decision on Carmack Amendment to l. C. C. Law
 Gripping State Laws.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHI

WASHINCfTON, D. C.. Jan. 6-The powers of the states over the rail roads and the express companies sui fered a hard blow today when the supreme court held that since the passage of the Carmack amendment to the interstate commerce law in 1906 the states ceased to have the right to annul contracts between the railroads and the shippers. limiting the liability of loss in interstate ship ments. Another serious blow was delivered when the court held that states. since the passage of the in terstate commerce acts, particularly the Hepburn law of 1906 had no power to penalize the railroads for failure to furnish cars on interstate shipments In this connection the court declared unconstitutional the Minnesota reciprocal demurrage law, authorizing the recovercy by shippers ot a dollar per day for every day in which the railroad failed to furnish a car for removal of freight.
 The court pointed out today that previous to the passage of the Car mack amendment, the court had up
  a contract limiting the damages in case of loss has been annulled the Pennsylvania case in which it was 1 held to be the public policy of the state to be opposed to such contracts. | As a result of the passage of the Car | mack amendment, however the court, | speaking through Justice Lurton, held | congress had manifested an intention 1 to deal with the subject of carrier | liability for interstate shipments and 1 that being the case. the state laws must give way. Consequently the de- l cision at once annulled the Kentucky l ard Nebraska laws holding each that
 contracts are void. The court not
 only annulled the state laws which
 geek to regulate liability but held
 that the federal law, as expressed
 in the Carmack amendment, dealt
 with the damage to the railroad ship
 ments and did not prohibit con-
 tracts limiting the liability of return

DUTY IF WATER
 HAS INCREASED
More Acreage Served With Same Amount of Water: Elevation of Storage at Roosevelt Expected to Break Last Record

The duty of water in the Salt River valley has increased by almost half in the six months or less since the new system of water rent assessment went into effect Of course that refers to the figures hoWn by comparion of the acreage i'll cultivation with the amount of water used for irrigation in the last year. The real duty of water is said to be even less. The duty" of a sec Ond foot of water is the number of acres it will irrigate.
 On the South Side a second foot of water in December 1911, served TO acres and on the North Side 197 acres. The average was then 183 acres to the second foot. In the same month of the year 1912, in which the new sys- tenn of water rent was put into effect, 1t was found that second foot would irrigate 301 acres, an average taken from both South and North Sides Ordinarily that would mean the reservoir would contain more water this year than last. But on top of the above facts must be considered this: There were nearly 10000 more acres | using water in 1912 than in the year | pTeCtulnS, IIt figures DtlnS, lSlI, ! 1O5,811, and 1912, 11fG54
 Added to this fact that almost no
 water has run off the basin of the
 Salt and Tonto streams, and there has i been so much cold weather the snow
 in the hills has never melted, it is nc wonder there is a deficiency of sever feet in the water elevation in the reservoir. But when thme snow does come down and the spring rains which will undoubtedly be heavy, ado
 their share, it will soon be apparent 1 the water level will go even above that of last year and the year before The highest point reached so far was about 177 feet last summer, early, anC l arguing from the fact that the we

FOREST NOTES.


The national forests OF Chile cover
about 100000 acres.
The forest service OF India has
demonstrated that teak wood grown
in plantations is just as strong as that
grown in natural forests.
Even the well-protected forests OF
Germany are by no means immune
from fire, and the Prussian fire pro-
lection system makes use of lookout
towers and telephones.
Much of the so-called silk nova
days is made OF wood. Germany pro-
duces more than one million pounds
of this cellulose silk, worth $1,500,-
900. A ton of wood worth $40 yields
celluiose worth $50. and this cellu-
lose yields silk worth $3.50.

WALLA WAlLA man
KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Linotype Operator and Aged Father
Struck saturday Night: Father
Being Fatally Hurt.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Aug. A.
Thomas e. Mason, linotype operator
employed on the Morning Union. was
seriously injured and his father
Thomas p. Mason, was almost instant
ly killed by bolt of lightning which
struck the Mason barn on Garden City
heights, about 545 Saturday after
noon during the height of heavy
thunderstorm which swept the valley
Mr.. Mason and his father were en-
gagged in building an extension to the
barn when the storm came up. AS
the storm broke and 1t began to rain
Mr.. Mason called to his father to come
inside but the latter replied that he
would first drive in the family horse
which was out in an adjoining aIfal-
ia field.
Mr.. Mason said the horse would be
all right and his father started for the
barn. AS he stepped inside the door
way there was binding flash. Both
men were knocked to the floor and
the barn was set on fire. Mr. Ma
son was stunned by the bolt and could
not move, although he made an he
roic effort to drag himself to his
fathers side in an effort to save him
from the threatened fire.
Mrs. Mason who was in the house
a few rods distant was partially stun
ned by the flash, but quickly recover
ed and called to Mr.. Mason. Not
getting any response she ran out to
the barn and found her husband and
the father lying on the floor. She ran
to a neighbours, e. Stewart, for help.
Mr. Stewart unaided carried the elder
man to the house and then helped
Mr.. Mason to his room. A telephone
message to DR.. Suttner quickly
brought him to the Mason home
where every effort was made to save
the elder Mason, who was uncon-
-cious. He died about half hour
after being struck. Mr.. Mason was
given medical attention and last night,
although suffering great pain from
burns about his waist and legs was
able to give a coherent account of the
tragedy. The shock affected his hear
ing somewhat and partially paralyzed
his lower limbs but the attending ply
sician stated these effects would soon
pass away.
