FOREST TRAILS NEAR BREAD
LOAF,

There is more activity just now in
blazing forest trails in the Bread Loaf
section than ever before. For some
distance north and south of the Ripton-
Hancock road the Long Trail" along
the crest of the Green Mountains is
very plainly marked. Neat metal ar
rows nailed to trees indie ate the trails
to Silent Cliff and Lake Pleiad. To the
latter the Bread Loaf Inn management
is constructing good wagon road. The
little lake is one of the most beautiful
sights in the mountains, surrounded on
all sides by the Battell virgin forests.
Several pilgrims of the long trail have
stopped in at Bread Loaf Inn as con-
venient break of their journey Among
them was Prof. William S. Monroe of
the Montclair Normal School, an ex-
perienced mountaneer, who was loud
in his praise of the Long Trail.
Bread Loaf is having a successful
season, the number of guests exceeding
any previous year. Several are consid-
ering the erection of new cottages.
The Inn is caring for good many tran
sients who come by automobile, the
road up the mountain being in very
good condition.

PANAMA-PACIFIC STOCK EX-
HIRITS.

From September 80 to December 8,
the Panama Pacific International Ex-
position at San Francisco will be the
scene of succession of live stock
show S, which, it is believed, will sur
pass any ever held in the United States,
or even in the world. From the list of
those who have already sgnified their
intention to participate, it is assumed
that in all the shows animals and poultry
of the finest quality, and in large guam
tity, will be represented. Almost half
million dollars have been appropriated
for the live stock features of the ex-
position. The exposition itself has APP
portioned $3.50, 600 for cash prizes for
live stock and horse show; forty-five
breed record associations have set aside
500, 327 for special premiums and the
commissions of various States have APP
propriated total of $50, 230 for par
ticipation of live stock from their
respective regions. The quarantine has
been raised in practically all the States
and stock shipments can now be made
without restriction.
During their stay at the exposition,
the various kinds of stock will be housed
in stalls and pens constructed along the
most improved lines of sanitation and
convenience. There will be no charge
for stall or pen rent, but there will be
a nominal fee for receiving, coping,
benching, feeding, exhibiting and re-
turning poultry, pigeons, dogs, cats
and pet stock. The exposition will pro-
tect exhibitors from overcharge by
providing them with feed at cost price.
Special live stock trains will be sent
from Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha,
and other central points direct to San
Francisco

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA.

The most convincing reply to the anti
prohibitionist' revenue argument comes
from Petrogl ad. In statement to the
finance committee of the duma Minister
Barck pointed out that while, as was eX-
pected, the national revenue had de-
creased 5000, 600, 600 during the past year
because of the suppression of the sale of
vodka, the report of the Russian savings
banks up to July showed increase of
deposits of about the same amount. He
seeks authorization, so the dispatch
says, to issue State securities amounting
to 5000, 900, 600 beyond the sum at
present allowed. By its sweeping pro-
hibtion edct, Russia loses nothing
financially and gains immeasurably in
the efficiency of her citizenship.

MORGAN HORSES AT STATE FAIR.

Interest in the breeding of Morgan
horses in Vermont, the home of the
Morgan, and in several other States has
grown perceptably since the organiza-
ton of the Morgan Horse club of
America. Annually, under the auspices
of this club, an extensive exhibit has
been made of Morgan horses at the
Vermont State fair at White River
Junction and this year on September
Ia, Is, 16, and II, the dates of the
State fair, the Morgan exhibit promises
to be more extensive than ever.
Prizes in money aggregate nearly
So, 900 which does not include many val
liable cups and trophies.
Morgans will be shown from many
States, and the number of Morgans
from all over Vermont will greatly eX-
coed that of any previous year.
Horses of nearly every breed will be
seen at the State fair. 1t is anticipated
that the horse department will be
a greater feature than ever, including
all standard bred horses, draft horses
and ponies.
There will be horse back riding
tournament, each rider to carry lance
six feet long. On the track, 100 feet
apart upright posts with an arm eX-
tended are to be placed. On each arm
will be ring three inches in diameter.
The rider securing the greater number
of rings while driving at top speed will
be given the first prize, a silver trophy.
There will be drawing competitions,
a 15-mile race and everything in com
petition that horses can do.
For several years this New England
stock judging contest which includes
students from the agricultural colleges
of Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
Vermont, have been held at Brockton,
Mass, fair, but as there is to be no
cattle exhibit at the Brockton fair this
wear the contest must be held elsewhere
At Brockton these stock Judging con-
tests have brought together a large
number of students from the agricul-
tural colleges of the six New England
States and competition between the
students has been keen and enthusiast
tic. These contests have proven a big
feature at the Brockton fair.

PORT HENRY PROSPEROUS.

The European war and the maufac-
ture of munitions and army supplies in
this country has brought about a sudden
change in business conditions in the
iron business across the lake. The
sharp rise in the price of iron ore and
pig iron has caused great revival of
activity in Port Henry, after a nine
months period of dullness.
The Northern Iron Company has an
nounced that its blast furnace would
resume operations on or about August
20, giving employment to $50 men.
The iron ore mines of the Witherbee,
Sherman & Co., and the Port Henry
Iron Ore Company at Mineville are now
operating full time, after having been
on part time the last nine months. Two
hundred more men are expected next
week.
The Lake Champlain & Moriah Rail-
road Company is sharing in the in
creased business.
1t is said the Cheever Iron Ore Mines,
in which C. M. Schwab has an interest,
will resume operations very shortly.
This will mean work for about 300 men.

LAND BIG WAR ORDERS.

Burlington and Winooski are feeling
the effects of the European war in the
impetus given to at least two industries.
A few weeks ago the Hickok Lumber
company received large contract
from the Russian government to sup
ply it with shrapnel and cartridge
boxes, an order that will keep the mills
going we'll into the winter with almost
double force on full time. The Ameri-
can Wooden company has just received
large contract for army blankets. The
mills at Winooski are not only working
full day capacity, but big force have
been summoned for night duty. Fully
1900 hands will have plenty of work in
these mills for many months and bust
ness generally will be greatly improved
in consequence.

GREATER VERMONT NOTES.

One of the most attractive features
of the Greater Vermont exhibit at the
State fair will be the pictures, maps
and charts which illustrate the develop
ment and work of the Vermont National
Guard.
On Thursday, August 18th, the
Merchants Association and the Board of
Trade of Springfield, Vermont, went on
a Greater Vermont Better Acquaintance
tour to Rutland where they lunched with
the Rutland Business Mems associa-
ton and afterward visited the marble
quarries and the Howe Scale works.
The Commercial Organizations of
Franklin county met at Maquam on
Wednesday afternoon, August IL, for
Grand Roundup of Fun, Friendship
and Feed with Good Speeches. "
On the posters announcing this event
was featured striking picture of the
Lake Champlain Sea Serpent, of
which Maquam is said to be 1.-The real
and only home" There were about
$50 business men present.
August will be the get-together
month for two other organizations of
Vermont. The Newport Board of
Trade has the most elaborate plan for
Better Acquaintance tour that has ever
been made by Vermont organization.
A printed announcement describes a
three days tour to the west as far as
Burlington, to the south as far as Rut-
land and White River junction. The
Brattleboro Board of Trade is extend
rounding towns for JOY day in Brattle-
boro with free shows at the moving
picture theatres, free baseball games,
free concerts by the First Regimental
Band and free trolley rides. The posters
close with the words 1.-The treats on
Brattleboro this time; come and be cen
WINGED that it appreciates its neigh
bors"
Two valuable additions have been
made to Vermont's equipment for
mountain hospitality. On Monday,
August 10th, the Bennington section of
the Green Mountain club dedicated its
new permanent camp in He'll Hollow,
five and one-half miles from Benning-
ton. Earlier in the season Deers' Leap
Tea House was opened, located on the
Rutland Woodstock stage road, nine
miles from Rutland. The house is only
five minutes walk from the Long
Trail, so that pedestrians can make it
/ eadquarters when they climb Pico and
Mt Killington. A speciality is made of
catering to motor parties who can make
an easy run from Woodstock or from
Rutland into the heart of he mountains
in Sherburne pass. Reasonable rates
for meals make this a very attractive
proposition both for pedestrians and
motorists.

Londonderry to commit piece of folly.
He purchased a motorcycle of Floyd
Clark of Jamaica, paying for it with a
note for $llO signed by him and bearing
the Endorsements of W. D. Howard and
H. C. Williams. The note was cashed
at the bank here, but it soon transpired
that the Endorsements were forgeries.
Jones Was arrested, pleaded guilty,
and was fined. He was placed on pro-
bation and is now back at work, and
probably is wiser youth.
