BUSY week
FOR LOCAL
POLICE OFFICERS

The local court has been rather
busy the past week, disposing of a
number of cases.
Tuesday, two woodsmen, who were
implicated in the Norton fracas last
week were sentenced, one getting
four months in Rutland work-house
and the other one getting twenty
days at Iuildhall. Sheriff Bemis left
with them Wednesday morning, and
at the same time took along weary
Willie, who had been sentented to
Rutland for six months for refusing
to leave town when ordered to by
the authorities.
Wednesday evening an Epglishman,
claiming Boston as his residence,
started things about town that he
couldn't finish. He stood 6 ft. 7, but
when he was corralled by Constable
Wilcox and Sheriff. Bemis he felt
very insignificant. He was arraigned
yesterday morning before Judge
Palso and plead to a charge of
drunk and disorderly, and paid a
fine of 500 and costs. His chauffer
was taken along with him, but was
let go in the morning.
There is two more cases of drunk
enness awaiting trial.

BRADSTREET'S
VERMONT
REPORT

Bradstreet's Burlington, Vt., Of
flee reports the general trend of
business for the week had been on
the up grade in a small way. The
position of the manufacturers of
machinery has been strengthened a
little but this is attributed to foreign
orders. Manufacturers of knitting
machinery report a small improve
ment in the domestic demand. Organ
manufacturers state a noticeable in
crease in inquiries and an output
gaining. Business done among the
rural sections is better. Cool weather
in the northern parts of the State
has prevailed while the warmer
weather in the southern section has
conduced to some increase in general
retail trade. Lumber manufacture
ers note the stocks of lumber are
increasing the demand and the year
has been poor. Manufacturers of
furniture report domestic trade
shows but little change although
some plants are fully employed. The
condition of export business in chairs
is reported by one concern as fully
as good as ever while others indicate
the demand has fallen, dead from
some points. Manufacturers of
wooden ware report surplus
amount of business on hand and the
output in toys is said large and de-
mand steady. The amount of build
ing work permitted in the State is
noted as fairly active. From Rutland
reports are received indicating con-
siderable building work is being car
ried on. The Spring demand for
paints and small hardware is report
ed as fairly good. Manufacturers
of roofing slate have had a good
business so far this year but the de-
mand for so called mill stock" is
much below normal. New business
at the collar manufacturing plants
is coming in slowly. Manufacturers
OF slow report output so far this
year is in excess of the period. Re-
ports from 1873 cities in the United
States show the amount of building
work permitted for the month OF
April reached $73, ,343, ,918 decrease
of only 7% from that of the same
month year ago. This decrease is
the smallest reported in any month
since August last. For the -four
months of this year the decrease in
amount of building work permitted
was 1919 from a year ago.
Paper manufacturers report but
little change in the general situation
and the demand for pulp has ma
terially been effected in a correspond
ing manner. Manufacturers of knit
goods have a fairly good amount Of
business on hand. There is reported
a little larger demand for granite
for building work. The week JUS
closed recorded one bankruptcy, the
first in seven weeks. Collections
among both the wholesaler and re
taller are still below what they
should be at this period.

MOTORCYCLIST
CRASHES into PLATE
GLASS WINDOW

Losing control of his motor cycle
while trying to make the turn in
front of the Essex House, Tuesday
afternoon, Perley Dudley of Barton,
crashed into one of the large plate
glass windows in the tailoring estab-
lishment of George St. Pierre.
Spectators say that the young
man was going at a terrific pace, and
it is a miracle that he was not killed.
Aside from a few bruises, he was un-
injured.
This accident brings home the fact
of the danger attendant to speeding at
this corner and not only motor cycles,
but automobiles should be made to
go around this corner with raulion.
S o w signs should be posted and
someone should have authority to
arrest and make an example of some
of the drivers who have the speed
mania. Not only at this corner, but
throughout the streets of the village
automobiles and motor cycles tear
around, until it has become a menace
to public safety, and why this should
continue until fatality occurs,
we cannot understand. There
is law regulating the speed of
motor driven machines, and the driv-
ers of such should be compelled to
respect it.
Peter Blanchette, who owns the
building where the accident occurred,
received a nasty cash ia the head
while removing some of the glass, a
piece falling and striking him.
The motor cycle was badly damaged.

GRANITE
PLANTS Open
At BARRE

All agreements with granite cut
ters, tool sharpeners and pollsShe3r,s
in Barre, Montpelier, Northheld,
Waterbury East Barre and Williams
town and the granite manufacturers
association were signed up last Sat
urday night, and granite plants gen.
orally opened up for tool sharpeners
and some few to cutters Monday.
All the granite plants opened
up to the cutters Tuesday morning.
Among the larger sheds to open to
cutters Monday were the Mari q
Gordon plants and the Presbrey- Coy
kendall plant. Mostly English speak
ing cutters, with an occasional Italian
cutter showed up in those plants.
That there might not be no inter-
ference with those who returned to
work Tuesday extra police protection
was provided and there were special
officers on duty in nearly every shed
in Barre, j.,
Conditions in Barre were reflected
to a considerable extent in the other
cities and towns of the Barre granite
belt. Full operations in those places
were not resumed because the gran
ite plants were not ready after their
shutdown of II weeks to permit all
the cutters to go to work. In all OF
those plants that opened the tool
sharpeners and Jumpers were busy
getting the places in shape for the
general resumption Of the industry
this week.

In the corridor before Prof. SAX
ford's room at the normal at Lacrosse
stands the latest acquisition to his his
torical museum, an old Indian dugout
canoe. This canoe is fourteen feet
long, two and a quarter wide and foot
deep. 1t was shaped from a white
pine log, followed out no doubt by
fire and hewed thin by the axe, whose
clippings are plainly visible on the sides
of the canoe. The redskin who dug
out the canoe left braces at each end
30 that the sides might stand pressure
and blows when he shot the rapids.
At the prov was curved head with q
hole through which to pass his tying
