CURRENT COMMENT
Charles H Thompson.

There is irony in the fate OF Hon
Charles H. Thompson, who on the 18th
instant was deposed as the Vermont
member of the Progressive national com
mittee. He had stumped the state for
direct primaries. He stood for the direct
vote Of the people" in making nom
nations in the recall of public officers,
in initiating legislation, in referendums
ad libitum. To him, more than to Rev,
Fraser Metzger, or the Hon. Ernest w
Gibson, we believe is due that "emphat-
c' 20 per cent demand" for direct pri-
maries Now he is recalled" by the vote
of a mere executive committee of YER
mont Progressives. For the sake Of fair
play he is entitled to go before the en-
tire Progressive party, if that party is
true to its professions, and ask it to re-
view by popular vote this violation of
Progressive principles. We are glad to
see that Mr.. Thompson is to be received
by the Progressives of Montana as a
spellbinder in their coming state cam
paign. If without honor in his own com-
try there are other places where he is
preciated.-Windsor journal.

Opposition to Dillingham; Dwindling.

The opposition to Senator William p.
lDillinghams return to the u. S. Senate,
where he has been an active and hon.
ored member for many years, seems to
be dwindling, The fact that Senator
Dillingham; was not swayed by every
fad and fancy stirred up good deal of
opposition to him in some quarters, es-
pecially among those who wish TO see
things done TO suit themselves regard
less of the fact as to whether it is right
or wrong. II is we'll for the nation at
this time that such men as William p.
Dillingham; are still in the Senate. Any
one can jump in and follow the crowd,
but it takes a forceful man to stand
out for what he feels to be right when
popular sentiment wishes it otherwise.
out of the stand Mr.. Dillingham; took in
the Lorimer case, but The Journal has
always admired him for the stand he
took although it was against our per-
sonal wishes in the matter. We would
have preferred to have seen Lorimer
thrown out of the Senate bodily if pos
sible, but Mr.. Dillingham; voted accord
ing TO the evidence produced at the
trial, knowing full we'll when he did it
that he was not playing upon popular
string. 1t was easier TO follow the
crowd than TO make political enemies,
but in this as in all things, he acted on
the evidence presented. II he is a re-
dictionary, etc, for doing such things we
only wish there were more of them

II was reported to the convention OF
the Vermont State Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, which was held at Bellows
Falls this week, that great deal of
civic good has been done during the past
year by the various clubs in their re-
spective communities. We guess that is
SO; we know it is So Also we shudder
to think what some communities would
be were it not for the influence of the
women banded together for concerted
and united effort in behalf of the high
err interests OF their cities and towns,
for it goes without saying that the wom-
en- see chances for improvement which
the men would overlook and, moreover,
they have the energy to follow up the
chances for improvement. Many town
and city, in its general appearance and
tone, bears silent testimony to such keen
powers of observation and such energetic
power of accomplishment.

THE LATE GEORGE H. B1ckFoRp.

|
Leaving out of the present considera-
ton the more intimate grief and sense
of loss which, of course, is left to the
family and other immediate relatives, it
may be said safely from the standpoint
of the general public that no death in
recent years in Vermont has caused more
widespread regret and impelled greater
degree of depression than that of George
| H. Bickford of Hardwiek, who died on
! Tuesday after brief illness. This as
sertion is based on the recognition that
Mr. Bickford represented very accurate
! ly that type of progressive Vermonters
to whom the state looks for its develop
ments along many lines, chiefly perhaps
industrial, although to large extent in
civic, political, religious and educational
life. A Yermonter by birth and Yer
monter by inclination and choice, he
brought to the upbuilding Of the COM
monwealth tremendous energy, keen
administrative ability, broad culture
| and as those who knew him will say, q
strong personality. Therefore, he was
in an unusual number of ways pro-
nounced figure in the state, albeit his
Discrimination to politics had kept him
from winning that degree of attention
that is foreordained to the high Office
holder; and, indeed, he seemed to be just
approaching the height of his career
when stricken down by the hand of
death. He was, most truly a man whom
the state can i'll afford to lose.
1t was chiefly through his efforts that
the Woodbury. Granite company was
brought to its commanding position as
the largest building granite concern in
the United States, having repute all over
the country and even in other lands.
Sharing in the prestige of that great in
dustrial concern, at least three Vermont
communities have raised above the ruck
of their fellowtowns in Vermont as re-
CARDS industrial life. Hardwicll, Bethel
and Mortified testify to that which Mr..
Bickford did for them through the me-
dunn of the Woodbury. concern; and, in
quickening of its industrial life through
the same agency. This was due to the
indomitable energy and keen perspicacity
of the man at the head OF the concern.

Amalgamation Not Favored.

Acting under instructions from the
chief Progressive of the country, the
members of that party in Vermont and
other states have declared against ANAL
gamation with the regular Republican
party, and propose to go it alone in as
stout campaign as they are able to in.
augurate and carry on.
So it seems that those Of us who have
been regarding a Republican as Re.
publican and indulging in a belief that
mere differences as to policy could and
should be amioably arranged without

JEWELRY ROCK Is FOUND
IN BULL CANYON NINE

A strike of gold-bearing quartz
has been made by James JObe in Bull
canyon, north from Balm, in a prop
erty owned by himself, M. Fl. Breen
and Charles Osterlund and on which
he has been prospecting for some
time. The strike shows several inch
es of high grade rich in gold and
specimens sen in by Jobe to his
partners a only be classed as jew
elry rock. Breen and two compan-
ions, one of them a mining engineer,
went out on the train this morning
to visit Bull canyon and will return
Tuesday afternoon.
Little of the particulars of the
strike are known at present, but II
the high grade streak carries much
of the ore like the samples sent tc
Ely the owners are to be %cOngratu-
lated, as the ore is very rich and
ought to make the property a pay

EFFECT OF WAR ON SUPPLY OF
POTASH SALTS OF THIS COUNTRY

Deep drilling for saline residues has
been done at Fallon and, during the
past year, in Columbus march and
Black Rock desert, Nevada, and will
be continued in Black Rock desert
this year. CD Natural and artificial
brines and bitterns have been col
lected at all the salt-making estab-
lishments in the United States and
a great many other localities, and
examined. (3) Deposits of alunite
and other minerals, containing po-
tassium have been investigated in
Utah and other states. (4) Certain
occurrences of igneous rock known
to contain considerable quantities of
potash salts have been examined.
Much work has also been done by
private initiative along practically
all the lines mentioned above. The
bureau of soils of the department of
agriculture has investigated the
kelps. The work is not yet finished
and will be pushed with increased
vigor, provided the necessary funds
are supplied.
To all those interested in the sub
ject, the geological survey will be
pleased to send free of charge the
available reports which have been
issued on potash salts. Inquiries
should be addressed to the director,
U. S. geological survey, Washington,
d. G.
The imports of potash salts. listed
as such in the reports of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
include the carbonate. cyanide, chic
ride. nitrate and sulphate, caustic
potash, and other potash compounds.
The importation of the above salts
in round numbers in the last three
years has averaged $4,000, 900
pounds in quantity and $1,000, 900
in value. These figures. however,
represent only a part of the potash
salts entering the United States. as
they do not include the imports of
kainite and salts which are
used as fertilizers. The quantity of
this class of materials imported for
consumption in the United States
during the last three years has aver
aged about 100000 tons. valued at
$4,000, 900 annually. Thus it is APP
parent that the annual importations
Of potash salts exceed $4,000, 900.

ACTIVITY IS SHOWN
IN EGAN DISTRICT

In spite of the threatened demon
alization of the mining industry al
Cherry Creek through the suspen-
sion of operations at the Star mine,
and the failure of the Nevada Star
company to meet it's obligations, the
old Egan district is not affected by
the general ~stagnation.
The properties of George o. KEEL
sey, which adjoin the holdings OF

a ton. Mr.. Kelsey is confident that
a large quantity of ore of the same
material will be extracted from the
ground.
