Portland comes in for severe
criticism in the current issue
of the Underwriters Report an
insurance paper printed at San
Francisco. for alleged negli-
gence in failing 10 prevent fires.
or for failing TO remove causes
of fires.
After paying its respects 10
the Portland fire bureau. which il
declares "far from perfect" in
handling fires that gain great
headway. the article i'm question
proceeds in this fashion to ar
raign the city officials and the
people generally:
I'm this. however. the fire de-
partment only reflects the gener-
al apathy of Portland city off-
cials in a perfunctory observance
of totally inadequate building
laws and restrictions designed
TO prevent fire waste. The down
town or congested section of
Portland is filled with number
less frame shacks, which are
fire breeders of the most OBJ
jectionable sort. Relics of the
village days before Portland
grew into a great city, they are
maintained through the greed of
their owners and because Port
land has never realized their |
menace to surrounding property. |
Insurance men have grown
hoarse protesting 10 the authori-
ties against their maintenance |
in the downtown district.
Another reason for a rate in-
crease in Portland is the appall-
ing growth and eXent of incend-
iary fires. For several years the
arsonist has made the Oregon
metropolis his home and the in
surance companies have had to
bear the burden. "-0regonian.

Whenever any project for the

mittee or by some society or

properly paved for the real work

work of the REAL local paper,

ward helping along these public
enterprises. But later on, after
the editor man has given several
columns of good space (Which
is his stock in trade) he is again
visited by the committee and
asked "How much of a donation
can we put you down for?" All
right. If the editor has the
cash to spare and is of the right
spirit, he will give what he can
afford. But take it on the other
hand: If a merchant were TO
donate an amount of merchan-
disc to the value Of the space
which had been donated by the |
printer would the soliciting COM
mittee still expect him TO donate |
the same amount of cash as the |
man who had not given mer-
chandise?
And one thing more, while we
are on the subject Of what people
generally expect from the local
newspaper. The matter comes
up Of giving a dance or other
entertainment for the benefit of
some needy citizen or other
charitable purpose. The news
paper again receives the frs
visit. Publicity is wanted and
is freely given. Later. hand
bills. tickets and programs are
wanted. and the job is turned
over TO the newspaper again.
The date for the affair arrives
and the entertainment or dance
is pulled off as per schedule.
and as IL is for sweet charity's
sake. the editor does not feel
like asking for complimentary
tickets. so il he attends he digs
up the coin. After the affair is
over the committee in charge
pays the landlord the usua'ren-
tai for the hall, and If the affair
happens 10 be a dance the orches-
ira is paid their regular price for
the music. Then the committee
again visits the editor and asks
him 10 insert a card of thanks

SHEEP IN VERMONT.

The Breeders Gazette, the lead
ing paper of its sort in the country,
has been studying the subject of
sheep-raising and here is its wise con-
illusions:
That New York can produce mag
nifcent sheep is plainly evineed by
many eminent flocks. There would
seem in the near future to be no pros
pect of cheap mutton. The western
ranges steadily shrink, and their tioeks
decrease. High prices for corn cause
cornbelt pastures TO be plowed up. The
logical place TO increase the sheep
stock in America is in Pennsylvania,
the Virginias, New York and New
England.
The same paper calls attention to
the fact that suitable sheep pasturage
is abnormally cheap in this part OF
the country. Why is it, then, that
more sheep are not raised in Vermont
There is money in the wool and money
in the lambs and money in the mutton
1t looks "dead easy. - The only ex
PLANTATION that is offered to inquirert
IS that dogs are too. plentiful anC
shepherds too scarce 1t really seem

Governor Blease of South Carolina
has freed another batch of convicts,
among whom were ten murderers
serving life sentences. This brings the
number of convicts pardoned or par
oiled by him up to ,488, record un-
approached by any other executive in
the country. South Carolina is unique
in many ways, but fortunately other
states will not take it as model. The
system of pardoning by Gov. Blease
if generally adopted, would spell an
archy for the nation.

Building operations in Barre for
1914 involved an expenditure of ap-
proximately 100000. This seems like
a large sum in a year of depression,
but is explained from the fact that
three notable projects-the new City
hospital, the new hotel and the Spauld-
ing high school annex-cost $245,000.
Barre is a progressive community at
all times, with wide-awake, energetic
citizens who are looking for business,
and when the general industrial re-
vival comes it will no doubt again take
its place as the most rapidly growing
