Developing Vermont Agricultural
College.


The action of the trustees of the Uni
versity of Vermont and state agricultur-
al college in appropriating $4,000 an
nually beginning July l, and, ultimately,
SS,400 annually for the further extern
sion of the agricultural county agent
system in Vermont, was cited in last
weeks issue. They have also taken
steps to increase the efficiency of the
agricultural teaching on the university
campus by providing for the erection of
stock judging pavilion l00xl20 feet,
the conversion of space in two buildings
aggregating $500 square feet into room
for use in instruction in farm machin-
cry, and by extensively remodelling and
undermining the farm buildings. Fur
thermore, they have directed Professor
F. B. jerks of the chair of agricultural
education to undertake a thorough over
hauling of the course of instruction. The
present eourses--three in number-along
lines of plant husbandry, of animal hus-
bandry and in preparation for teaching
agriculture, were formulated four years
ago, and have not been greatly modified
since their inception.
The revised courses will be submitted
for trustee action at commencement and
doubtless go into operation with the new
collegiate year. Professor jerks was for
several. years the agricultural college
specialist of the United States bureau
of education. He has visited, inspected
and studied the courses of instruction of
almost every college of agriculture in the
land. On this account, and because he
now has had years experience in Yer
mont and among Vermonters and in Yer
mont schools, he seems eminently fitted
for this task.

FOREST FIRES DIVERT STREAMS.
Wallace, Idaho, Water Supply Said to
Have Been Affected.

Residents of Wallace, Idaho now
claim that results of the disastrous for
est fires in northern Idaho in 1910 are
being made evident in the changed flow
from watershed then burned, over
which furnishes the water supply of the
city. This basin included an area OF APP
proximately two thousand acres and
was formerly well timbered with trees
from 80 to 200 years old. These We're al
most wholly destroyed by the fires OF
1910. From this watershed the city gets
its supply not only for domestic pur-
poses, but also for the development of
electricity for power and light, so that
the maintenance of considerable flow
is essential 10 the city.
1t is stated that before the fires the
flow of the stream at its lowest stages
was never below one thousand miners
inches. the unit of measurement which
has been used. But since the fire, the
records show that the minimum flow has
fallen to about $50 miners inches and it
is now necessary for the company which
furnishes water, light, and power to ex-
pend considerable amount of money
each year in developing power from
steam and to use considerable part OF
this power in pumping water. Records
of the weather bureau at Wallace show
that the precipitation for the years since
the fire has been about normal for the
region. This seems to demonstrate to
the townspeople that the unevenness in
the flow must he due to the destruction
of the forest cover of the watershed
and not to any change in climate or pre-
cipitation.
In view of the situation, the forest
service has undertaken to reforest the
denuded watershed. Some planting has
already been done and eventually all of
the watershed which is included within
national forest boundaries is to be re-
forested. The people of Wallace are
taking considerable interest in the work
and express themselves as thoroughly in
sympathy with the effort that the service
is making. The experts of the depart
ment however. point out that the
planting will probably have no imme-
date effect, yet it should influence run
off as soon as forest conditions are re-
stored, and re-established eventually
more stable stream flow. In the mean
time the forest officers are taking meas
urements of the stream in connection
with the records of precipitation, to de-
termine Just what relation exists, and
what results will follow reforestation.

Young Boy Gets Into Serious
Trouble

Juvenile officer Purcell and Sheriff
Woolison apprehended young boy,
residing in the north end of the city,
Oh Sunday for stealing watch from
Miss Hobbs, tenter at Camp Sychar.
Miss Hobbs and the Misses McCalla
of Mt. Vernon have been occupying a
tent at Camp Sychar. Sometime Sat
urday night the tent was entered and
a gold watch, valued at $35, and six
dollars, all belonging to Miss Hobbs,
were stolen. The officers were called
and on Sunday at north end resi-
dence they apprehended young boy,
who confessed to the theft. He stat
ed that he spent the money. 1t ap-
pears that he took the works out of
the watch case and then attempted
to file Miss Hobbs name off the case.
Failing in this he threw the case into
vault at an outhouse. On Sunday
the officers made the boy get down
into the vault and secure the watch
case, which was turned over to the
owner. No charge has yet been filed
against the boy, but this will be done
within short time.

had regained consciousness and Mil
ler's ambulance was hastily summon
ed, and Wilson taken to the Mt. Yer
non hospital. A careful examination
revealed that the unfortunate mans
back had been broken in the fall.
It is assumed that he had gone to
sleep and, in turning over, had pre-
cipitated himself into the stream be-
low. In endeavoring to extricate him
self, he had rolled over from his left
side onto his stomach and in that
position, had become unconscious, his
head dropping into the stream. A
minutes delay on the part of his res
cners would probably have cost him
his life then and there as the water
was rapidly filling his lungs, quite a
large quantity flowing out when he
was picked up. Wilson stated Sun
day that he didn't know himself how
the accident had happened.
1t was deemed best that Wilson be
taken to Columbus to ascertain what
means would be best for the preserva-
tion of his life. Accordingly, he was
conveyed there on the 1908 Penn
sylvania train Sunday and further
examination revealed that an opera
tion was necessary and the same was
performed at o'clock.
Wilson had been employed recent
ly by the Keifer meat market. His
mother died when he was but two
years of age and his father went to
Michigan, no word having been re-
ceived from the latter since. He was
brought up by his grandfather and
from him he acquired the pseudonym,
Jones. AS young man, he had his
left arm mangled while hopping a
freight and the same was amputated.
His only known relatives are an
uncle, Mr.. Frank A. Jones, who resid-
es on North Mulberry street and con-
sin, Mrs. Walter George of South
Rogers stret. He had been living at
the George home before the accident
occurred.

FIRE
Of Mysterious origin Destroy
ed The Home
Of David RGGdeF, East Of
The City
F|RF

A fire of mysterious origin broke out
in the home of David w. Reeder In the
Kelly addition east of the city, Sunday
morning at 2 o'clock and completely
effaced the home and all that 1t con-
tained.
The Reeders were tenting at Camp
Sychar and the household goods in use
there are all they have left.
The fire was discovered by Wilbur
Bickel, who resides next to the Reeder
home. He Immediately sounded the
alarm and the entire neighborhood
turned out, but the fire had become so
large that it was necessary for each
man to protect his own home from
confiagration. AS there is no means
of fighting fire in the addition, the
home burned completely to the ground.
Insurance partially covers the loss.
The cause of the fire is unknown
Mrs. Reeder visited the home Saturday
morning at o'clock and noticed that
no lights or fires were burning at the
time. The windows were closed and
the only means whereby the house
could have caught fire would be that
some one entered it and set fire to it
during the absence of the family.
The house was built only four years
ago. Active operations for the con-
struction of new home have been
started.
