ton from the waste and oil common to
such buildings or may have resulted
from pipe or cigarette smokers
match or an engine spark.
The thermometer was lowering
around ten below zero, and tlN firemen
found it anything but pleasant to fight
the fire. Many Of them were soon
drenched and the water in their clothing
was frozen stiff One line of hose had
been hastily strung across the tracks
and train of freight ears east of the
building, which was drawn away to
avoid the fire, ran over the hose cutting
it in two.
Along towards six o'clock the fire was
drowned out. The roof and interior OF
the round house were found to be total
~ destroyed, and the cabs on the three
engines, two freight and one passenger
were burned while the steel part was
thoroughly soaked. just what the dam
age to the engines will be is difficult to
estimate. II is probable they can be
repaired. All three were steamed up
when the fire broke out The loss to the
building itself, is not so great, as it con-
sisted simply of brick walls and roof.
The loss, however, will probably reach
several thousand dollars.

John B. Taylor, who has resigned as
night editor Of the Burlington Free Press
to enter the banking business in Burlng-
ton, has given his employers II years Of
faithful, efficient service. His successor
is to be Harold Z. Somerville, who has
been growing up with The Free Press
so to speak, and therefore is in posi-
ton to know the system of that paper
quite we'll and to give excellent service
His fellow-newspaper men throughout

to him in his promotion, as well as to
Mr.. Taylor who has been known largely
through his work as it appeared from

cause Mr.. Stone holds high rank Imong
the newspaper writer's of Vermont and
has had long and varied experience in
the phases of newspaper making that
viii prove of great value in shaping the
newspaper. Moreover, Editor Stone is a
keen, thoughtful man not given to rash
utteranees and not apt to rush in where
angels fear to tread. Thus the men who
recently incorporated under the laws of
Vermont to issue a newspaper devoted
largely to the interests of the Progress
siye party were very happy in their
choice. If any newspaper man in YER

without a doubt is the former editor
of the st. Johnsbury Caledonian and
recently postmaster at st. Johnsbury.

1t is a severe misfortune that has
come to Plainfeld in the loss of its hotel
structure at the corner of High and
School streets, as the hotel was.the only
one in the village and it was serving its
purpose well as stopping place for au-
tomobile tourists in the summer months
and as a commercial house in all sea-
sons of the year. As country hotels go,
it was above the average in furnishing
the comforts of travelling life, and it,
therefore, will be missed by fairly
large number of patrons. In fact, the
demand for hotel in such place as
Plainfeld is so large that it is hoped
that the structure will be rebuilt or
some satisfactory arrangement made.
Meanwhile, the people of Plaintield
should not be disheartened over the lack
of success in their first good test after
providing some means of fire protection,
for the conditions were rather unfavor-
able for fighting fire on such a morning
as was New Years day with the mer-
curry below the zero point, and the more
so because of the location of the first
outbreak of flames in the upper part
of the interior, where the fire was not
easily accessible.

ENLARGED WORK FOR A FINE
CHARITY.

The success which attended the efforts
of the Home for Destitute Children in
Burlington to raise $4,000 in order to
secure a gift of like sum from Mrs.
Fletcher d. Proctor, widow of the former
governor OF Vermont, is a matter for
congratulation throughout the state, as
the institution is one of the few of its
kind in Vermont and it is serving II
good purpose in caring for young people
in various parts of the state who may
be left as orphans or who may be lack
ing in the support which they need.
The addition of $4,000 to the endow-
ment of the institution will enable it
to do more and better work along the
lines for which it was established many
years ago, and thus it will become a
greater agency for the betterment of the
state through training Of the young and
the removing of them from distressing
and depressing surroundings until such
time as they are in a position to care
for themselves. Mrs. Proctor's gift, cou-
pied with the lesser contributions which
made it possible, is one of the finest do
nations of the past year.

The possible re-opening of the slate
quarrying industry in Mortified is q
matter of considerable interest to PEG.
pie in this section, for there are large
deposits of slate on the hills bordering
Mortified and said TO be of good quality.
If slate quarrying should be resumed
and be put on paying basis it would
supplement the granite industry in a
way to increase largely the prosperity
of Washington county. If the indus
try is to be resumed it demands compe-
tent supervision, for the hazards of the
business seem to be greater than in the
quarrying and finishing of granite. II
is hoped that this may once again be
classed with the industries of the county.
