Since going into office he has been fought by
many interests and will have opposition from
them. not only because they don't want him but
also because he is union man. On the other
hand he will have the support OF a number OF
elements that will go the limit for him and they
are quite strong. He has placed many members

my old friend Frank Frucauff, president Of the
Denver Gas and Electric company who arrived
in the city this week for stay OF several weeks
While here he will take up many matters relating
to prospective improvements in the properties Of
his company. Mr.. Frueauff is now located in New
York city, where his duties in connection with the
Denver company and the interests Of allied organ

to note the progress of men like Frucauff who
started in as boy with the local company and bv

Compare the Results

When newspaper gives you a lot
of free advertising in order to boom
some enterprise or project in which
you are interested, keep track of the
lines that are printed week by week
and multiply that number by the
regular advertising rates of the
paper. Compare the result with the
actual money value of any favor that
you get from any other business con-
Germ. Then take into consideration
the fact that advertising and circula-
ton are the only two things that 8
newspaper has to sell. Now, in
these days of higher prices, how
much do you think it ought to give
away?-Exchange.

Alleged Arson Case

AS the result of third degree
probe into the origin of the fire in
the Caldbeck block, Sunday night,
M. J. Seligman, tailor, in whose
shop the fire started, was arrested.
fortunately the fire was discovered
in time to avert a catastrophe. The
block is two-story structure in a
congested part of the main business
street, and at IL o'clock when the
blaze was discovered, many OF the
business places were still open.
1t was at first thought that the
fire might have been caused by an
explosion Of gasoline; but it is said
that suspicion pointed to Seligman
and following an investigation by the
states attorney and sheriff, war
rant was issued for his arrest.

BradStreet'S Report

Bradstreet's Burlington, VT, of
fee reports general condition sur
rounding the manufacturing indus
tries are a little brighter for the
week altho' no marked changes are
noted. Manufacturers of maple
sugar apparatus state the demand
for that class of goods is better than
it was for same period of year ago.
Manufacturers of furniture note
some new business received as re-
suit of the recent furniture exhi-
billions but that the export market
remains quiet. Jobbers in the .vari-
Gus lines, who in the past have done
considerable business among the
merchants in the southern section of
the country, reporS new business
from that source is slow, while bust
ness from western points is coming
in well. Certain garment manufac-
tuners are operating full time and
force while others are operating
with a reduced force on full time.
Lumber operations are delayed by
the lack of snow and SEINE hardship
is noted. The snow fall for the
month is considerably below normal
and this has tended to effect trade
IN the country towns. Jobbers in
cigars and tobacco indicate a quiet
trade. Food stuffs are moving fairly
we'll although the buying of grain,
flour, ETC., is said to have slowed off
since the increase in prices, particu-
larly the flour.
Manufacturers of granite are fair
ly busy although the outlook for the
near future is more or less uncertain.
Building operations do not show
much movement. The retail merchant
in clothing and dry goods reports
fairly active attendance at the clear
ance sales that have been held.
Buying for the future is character
lied as conservative. General col
lections show no Improvement. No
failures were reported for the week
just closed.

State Boundary Decision

The report Of the New-Hampshire-
Vermont boundary commission was
made public last Wednesday. The
commissioners are J. H. Albin and
Judge William M. Chase of Concord
and Charles j. .O'Neil of Walpole.
The commission finds that since
Feb. %, 1872, the west bank of the
Connecticut river has always been
regarded and treated as the bound
airy line between the states of New
Hampshire and Vermont. Supreme
court decisions have been to the
same effect. Also the Windsor
county, Vermont, court has held
that way, the line being considered
at the place on the west bank, where
vegetation ceases.
In the November, 1880, session of
the Vermont assembly a resolution
was passed authorizing correspond
ence with the governor Of New
Hampshire on the subject Of the
boundary, but nothing ever was
done in the matter.
In three cases adjudisated by the
United States supreme court, where
boundary lines were on the banks OF
streams, the court has held the high
water mark of the river as the true
boundary line. This has been the
New Hampshire contention in the
present case. In concluding the re-
port the commissioners say: We
believe the boundary established at
the southwest corner of New Hamp-
shire and the southeast corner oil
Vermont on the Massachusetts line
should be extended for the entire
length of the Connecticut river and
indicated by suitable monuments or
markers which would give to New
Hampshire the entire river in ats
natural and normal condition and
that the claim thereto should be
recognized and enforced by New
Hampshire,
1--WE are informed that surveys
are now being made along the Con
decticut river looking towards early
development at and about the Fiftser
Mile Falls so called. We believe
that immediate steps should be taker
to locate the boundary line at these
points so that the true location car
be determined and the rights of New
Hampshire protected. After change
have been made in the riv er bank b.
improvements made in the river, /
will be difficult to ascertain the loca
ton of the high water at these points
and New Hampshire might be tn
loser thereby"

vile last Sunday morning shortly

while attending services in the Uni
versalist church.
She became unconscious in church
and was removed to her home. Her
husband died from shock received
in 1900. Mrs. Whites nearest sur

Get Ready for the Tourist

When the summer tourist starts
out next summer he will not care to
go to Europe. There certainly is
something just as good among the
Green Mountains for him to see if
he but knows it. There will never
be better time to advertise Yer
mont as the place to spend asummer
vacation than now. If the people in
our state will but take advantage of
our opportunity there is no reason
why at least a few of the millions
usually left in Europe every sum-
mer cannot be left here this year.

Trapping SparroWs.

In England sparrows are trapped
with a sieve, one end held up by a
short stake to which g long string is
tied. The trap is baited with bread
crumbs, oats or wheat. The birds are
permitted to eat the bait until num-
Der have gathered under the sieve
when the cord is pulled, removing the
stake and allowing the trap to fall
over the birds gathered under the
sieve.

How We Get che News

Day before yesterday a perfectly
nice lady called US up and with tears
in her voice reproved US for not
mentioning the fact that she had had
friend visiting her last week. We
told her that she had not let us know
that she had 9 visitor. Then she
said, We'll, you should have known.
/ thought you were running a news
paper" Wouldn't that rattle your
Stats? Some people think that an
editor ought to be cross between
every Argus and Anna Eva Fay.
They seem to think that our five
senses are augmented by sixth,
which lets us know everything that
happens, even if we see, hear, feel,
taste or smell it not. Dear lady,
editors are only human, or at least
almost human. If you have a friend
visiting you, if you are going away,
or have returned from visit out-of-
town, if Johnnie falls and breaks his
arm, if your husband chops his toe
instead of stick Of wood if anything
happens that makes you sad, happy
or mad, call us up. Tell US about it.
That's the way to get it into the
paper.
