Senator Dillingham; viii Meet Manchesers Citizens at Union
Opera House This Friday Evening

The National Magazine for May
contains the following tribute to Sen.
ator William P. Dillingham;, writer
by its editor, Joe Mitchell Chapple:
Extending back over century
Vermont, as the first state admitted
to the Union after the thirteen colo
MES had united, has had a long anC
distinguished line of men in the Sen
ate.
ut was Governor Paul Dillingham;
who appointed George +. Edmunds tc
the Senate. The name Dillingham; has
been indissolubly associated with the
history of Vermont for many years.
Anyone visiting the United States
Senate today can observe the son of
Governor Dillingham;, Hon. William
Paul Dillingham;, senior senator from
the State of Vermont, who is one of
the ideal legislators in the Upper
House of Congress having every quail
fication expected from a member Of
that body and rejecting honor and
distinction upon his State.
Senator Dillingham; served as Yer
mont's State Attorney, in both houses
Of her legislature and as Governor of
the State in the same conscientious
and dignified manner that has charac-
terized his career in the Senate.
When he was elected to the Senate, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Justin S. Morrill,, a veteran whom
every Vermonter will remember with
pride--he continued to maintain the
uninterrupted distinction that the
Green Mountain State has always held
in the United States Senate.
"0f distinguished appearance, tall
and dignifed, Senator Dillingham; in
his simple habits, modesty, thoroughly
tested ability and answering integ-
rity, is an influence in the Senate to-
day which it would be a national
to lose. With unfagging
fidelity and broad views upon living
questions, he enjoys the esteem and

confidence Of his colleagues, regard
less of party. As the leader Of six
important and hard working commit
tees. the Senator has well earned the
distinction that will raise him to
greater en1inence should the wheel of
political fortune again bring his
party into power. But whether he is
in power or out of power, his courtesy,
equanimity and spirit of justice has
always given his public duties con-
scientious service, reserving nothing,
When he speaks, his arguments are
forceful and effective, especially when
matters of Importance to the nation or
his home state are under discussion.
He never shirks duty or seeks popu-
larity by dramatic effect or demagogic
appeals to position or interest, but is
the embodiment Of true old New Eng
land zeal for righteousness and just
legislation, and the people of his own
State can scarcely realize his import
ant work in the committee room, be-
ceuse it has been done quietly and
without the blare Of trumpets. With
the courage of his convictions, and the
Spartan spirit Of typical New Eng
land legislator, he reaches conclu-
sions through the consideration of ev-
idence and facts, never thinking Of
personal, political or partisan inter-
ests when a question of right or
wrong is involved.
"That is why Senator Dillingham; is
so much admired at Washington, and
by those familiar with his
work and his long term Of loyal SER
vice. Firm as Plymouth rock and as
stalwart in his ideals as in his physi-
cal stature those who know him well
hold that no one in the Senate can
compare with him as a man who
stands firmly by the n1oorings Of rep
resentative government, such as the
State of Vermont, once an Independent
republic and commonwealth that has
never known the rule of king or poten-
ate, holds most sacred"

Of that country was one Of his most
prized recreations.~
But the wonder grows as one turns
to his last letter published in The Troy
Times, which was just week ago last
Saturday, and stops TO think that this
was written by man 81 years old
and was one of a series which had
been continued for nearly half cen
tury and which was produced in his
last years--and only because The Troy
Times and himself regretted TO sunder
so long a connection and to deprive the
readers Of this paper Of department
which they had learned to enjoy-by
dictation, when his eyes would no
longer properly fulfill their functions,
for his wife's writing, as did the blind
Milton to his daughters.

miss the kindly, the informing, the
suggestive and often the brilliant let
ters Of this remarkable man, and viii
congratulate themselves that they
have known and valued for SO long
a time their acquaintance, even if only
through the medium Of types, with a
hermit who, while satisfying himself
with that title, was reyered by many
with the respect which Is given 70 the
sage and 10 the saint.--Troy Times,

VERMONT RECEIVES A
NEW STATE FOREST

The Vermont Forestry Department
announces that it has just received a
donation of over one thousand acres
of forest land from Messrs. C. C. Put
nam and Ralph Putnam. This ex-
tensive area lies on the mountain
range in the western part of Wor-
cester, and is, therefore, in Washing
ton County. Much Of this tract had
belonged to the Putnam family for a
great many years, and had been lum-
bered by them. Other parts were re-
Gently acquired by them at tax sale.
In 1903 one Of the worst forest fires
ever known in the State swept over a
considerable part Of the area, and did
an immense amount of damage. Al
though there is not, therefore, very
much timber upon the tract, the soil
in most parts is suitable for forest
growth, and under State protection
and Improvement it should make, in
time, very valuable forest.
The c. c. Putnam and Son Lumber
Company, has been one Of the most
progressive in adopting forestry prin-
ciples, having planted large number
of trees during the past three years,
and improved their methods Of cut
ting.
The acquisition Of the Putnam State
Forest makes the total area of State
Forests about $500 acres, distributed
in the order Of their size, in Chitten-
den, Washington, Windsor, Rutland,
Windham Bennington, and Caledonia
Counties. 1t is hoped that the next
Legislature viii make adequate pro-
vision for reforesting the waste areas
on these various tracts.

WHAT ARE OUR

This ia a question to which many,

answer; for in the end il means ntiliz-
alton Of much power now going TO

such power the answer involves funda-
mental means Of determining how
much money may be wisely expended:
in purchase Of land for site, in con-
struction Of dams for immediate con-
trol, and Of reservoirs for storage, as
well as in wheels and accessories for
transformation and distribution.

Germs the volume Of water passing,
and, given the cross section Of the
stream, this volume will vary with the
current and the depth.
As those are continually changing,
really useful information involves
record for period Of years. The read
ing Of current meter or depth

TO repeat that reading the thousands

and experience has shown that the
work so done is far from reliable.
The attendant difficulties have led to
inventions adapted TO overcome them

computer but for accuracy in his re-

and they need attention once in a week

Vermonters have until recently

make their green hills and valleys so
beautifully attractive; but gradually,
in cooperation with the national gov
ernment, the state and its people are /
taking stock. They have learned Much |
within the past few years and are
planning to learn more. Among the |
means used is the self-recording /
gauge, which registers hour by hour,
day by day, the depth of stream.
The latest installment of such gauge
is in Northfeld, on the Dog river, a
tributary of the Winooski. The gauge
has been placed by Norwich Univer-
sity, as means of contributing to the

New York has sprung free tolls" for a class of
American ships through the Panama canal. The
democratic platform of 1912 had four-lne para
graph which reads: "We favor the exemption
from tolls of American ships engaged in coastwse
trade passing through the Panama canal"
The matter was not discussed in open conven-
ton and little or no notice taken of it at the
time the platform was adopted. AT the close of
the convention, in his speech of acceptance, Wood
row Wilson said: 1--WE are not building the canal
and pouring out millions upon millions of money
to establish water connection between the two
coasts OF the continent important and desirable as
that may be particularly from the point of view of
naval defense. 1t is meant to be great interna-
