LEG AMPUTATED ABOVE KNEE.
Emery A Melendy Undsrgoes Opera
ton Probably Will Be Able to
Walk Better than for 80 Years.

In Memorial hospital Monday morn
ing DR.. G. Il. Anderson amputated the
right leg of Emery A. Melendy, town
representative of Londonderry and
station agent at South Londonderry. On
November l Mr.. Melendy fell from a
step ladder, badly fracturing the bones
between the knee and ankle. The bones
were so badly splintered that it was
necessary to remove them for dis
lance of an inch and half at that
time. He was brought direct from his
home to the hospital a short time af-
ter the accident happened.
In boyhood Mr. Melendy badly in
iured the knee of the right leg, so that
he has walked with difficulty ever
since. The operation Monday was made
above the knee in the hope that Mr..
Melendy may eventually be able to
walk better than at any time in 30
years. II was slater that afternoon that
the operation had been successfully
performed and that the patient was
resting comfortably.

MORE PAY FOR STEEL WORKERS,
Increase for 100000 Men Means an
Added Payroll of s2O,OOO,OOO for U. S.
Steel Corporation.

The United States steel corporation
announces an increase of 10 per cent
in wages of the employees of its steel
and iron companies, effective December
10 next. Wage and salary advances in
other departments of the corporation
also will be suitably adjusted, it was
stated. The increase affects, in all,
about 100000 employees and probably
adds nearly $20,000,00O to the corpo.
ration s payroll.
Total salaries and wages paid to the
company's l9l,l26 employees in 1915
aggregated $l76,S00,S 1854. Since that
time the number of employees has great
ly increased and several wage ad-
vanccs have been made 1t is estimated
the payroll of the steel corporation at
this time is between $4,000, 900 and
5000, 100000, which implies an increase
of approximately $2o,000,0oQ under the,
! higher rate of pay.
The average wage or salary per en-
ploy in 1915 was 1922 day an in
crease of four cents daily over the
previous year. The advance to take
effect in December will raise the aver.
age wages and salaries to the highest
level in the history of the corporations

HOUSE AND BARN TURNED.
Fire in Spofford Destroys Howe Place
Owned by Fletcher Estate.

A bad fire which started in hay i'll
the barn, destroyed the house and barn
on the Howe place, owned by the late
Charles Fletcher and occupied by Harry
Burnham, near Spofford, n. H., village,
Tuesday forenoon.
The fire was discovered about 10
o clock and is believed to have been
set by children playing with matches in
the hay. There were few men about
and although the Spofford fire depart
ment tried manfully to check the
flames, the fire had made such head
way before the alarm was given that
it was impossible to save either the
barn or house. The house was a two
tenement frame structure and the barn
was of good size.
The furniture was all taken out, but
10 tons of hay belonging to Nelson
Ball, which he had stored in the barn,
were burned. There was no stock in
the barn.
Mr.. Burnham, whose father died in
the Brattleboro Memorial hospital Sat
urday, had been gone from home about
an hour, being on his way to another
state with his fathers body. Mrs.
Burnham and their children were alone
a. home.
The house is situated on the road
leading off the main Chesterfield road
and is on the outlet to Spofford lake.
No other house is very near. 1t is said
that the loss is fully covered by in
surance.

PORTER "MooNSCAPEs."
Son of Vermont Has Interesting Arti-
Gle in Two Magazines.

Russell w. Porter, one of Springfield s
distinguished sons and at present pro-
fessor of architecture in the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, has
an article on what he styles Moon
scapes in the October number of Pop
ular Astronomy and in the November
number of the Review of Reviews. Last
winter James Hartness showed to the
Cosmopolitan club a water color pic
ture of the moon made by Mr.. Porter
from Is views of the lesser luminary
taken when the sun S light shown upon
different sections. BY combining these
views the artist was able to give what
is believed to be quite an accurate rep
resentation of the satellite s entire sur
face. The article in the Review of Re
views reads as follows:
1.-THE surface of the moon as field
of exploration has attracted an astron-
omer at Port Slyde, Me-, Mr.. Russell
w. Porter, who contributes to the De-
tober number of Popular Astronomy,
published at Mortified, Mimi, several
drawing of moonscapes made to rep
resent the moon S scenery as it might
appear to an observer from some era
ter-lp or the vast expanse of one of
her sea floors.
Mr. Porter has spent many years
above the Arctic circle and in his OBJ
servatiOn of the moon through l6-inch
reflector, he was struck by the likeness
of the general aspect of lunar scenery
to that of our own polar regions. One
of his moonscapes reproduced i'll the
'article) seems to show a counterpart
of the long reaches of the foes in the
polar ocean traversed by immense
ridges and tidal cracks. Moreover, the
effect was heightened, as he says, by
the dazzling wilderness and clear-cu
shadows, the desolation and the lone
illness.
Although the main features and the
heights were plotted by the rules of
perspective, Mr.. Porter claims for his
moonscapes no great degree of accu-
racy. In fact, he is willing to have
them regarded as flights of fancy
They do, however, represent what the
telescope revealed to him. The height
of the eye was assumed arbitrarily, as
we'll as the Direction and height of the
sun.
Gas compared with the CHASTITY
whiteness of the moons surface, Mr..
Porter has developed a fuller apprecia-
ton of our own atmosphere with its
softening haze, clouds and color. Lu-
mar scenery, on the other hand, is
made up of masses of intense white
against an inky sky.'

NEW NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Thirty eight Acres in Alaska Include
Indian Village and Relics.

As result of recommendations
made by the secretary of agriculture,
the "Old Kassan National Monument
consisting of 3S acres within the Ton
gass national forest, Alaska, has Just
been created by presidential proclama-
ton. The tract embraces the we'll
known abandoned Haida Indian village
of Old Kassan, situated on Prince of
Wales Island in southeastern Alaska,
about 30 miles west of the city of
Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by tho
Indians about 10 years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about 80 Indian totem poles, fveyor six
of which are classed as exceedingly
good specimens. In the deserted viii
lage there are also eight large square
buildings which were originally con.
structed according to the peculiar plan
or the Haida Indians, and which, it is
stated by those best qualified to know,
represents the best specimens of Haida
architecture that now exist. The
largest of these buildings is approx
matcly 40 by 90 feet in size and is
made entirely of round and carved tim
bers. There also remain a number of
SidNto With lIt tNplCdi SHluil
grave houses erected by the Alaskan
Indians.
Kassan is said to be the Indian
word which means ga pretty town, "
and all reports agree that the village
was well named. The fact that the vii
lagc was occupied by the Indians for
many years explains the local name
cod" Kassan, by which it is widely
known.
Since the village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into a state of dilap-
idation and decay, and a certain amount
of vandalism by tourists and souvenir
hunters renders some form of protec-
tion essential. An examination of tho
area was made jointly by representa-
tives of the forest service and of the
interior department, and reports strong
ly urging the establishment of a nation
al monument was approved by the see
retaries of both departments. The
Smithsonian Institution strongly en-
dorsed the proposition for the estsb-
lishment of n national monument. The
new national monument will be protect
ed and administered by the forest ser
vice, as is the case with all monuments
located within the national forests. Fl.

RUMANIANS HARD PRESSED.
Their Fate in the Western Wallachian
District Hangs in the Balance.

Monastir an important city in South
ern Serbia, has been captured from the
Germans and Bulgarians by the French
and Serbian forces. 1t is said that a
large part of the city is in ruins.
There have been no important devel.
opments along the Somme front. Air
battles have been frequent and both
sides have lost several airplanes with.
in the past few days.
The Rumanians are hard pressed. The
capture of Craivona sewers railroad
communication, and the fate of the Ru-
manian armies in the Western Walla-
chan district hangs in the balance.
The ambassadors of the central DOW
crs have been forced to leave Athens.
The crown council of Greece has re-
fused to surrender arms and ammuni.
ton to the entente allies, as demanded
by Admiral Du Fournet, commander of
the allied fleet.
The British hospital ship Brittanie
has been sunk by u submarine off the
coast of Greece. The Brttanic is one
of the largest ships ahoat. She was
ready for service when the war broke
out, but instead of being put into
commission for trips between New
York and Liverpool was Communicated
MS a hospital ship. The first dispatches
stated that there were | 900 wounded
soldiers on board when she was at
tackled, but later reports indicate that
members of the crew were all the per-
sons she carried, and that the loss of
life was small.

CENSUS OF LUMBER PLANNED.
Yield in 1916 to Be Determined by
Forest Service Each Sawmill in
Country to Make Report.

The census of the lumber production
of the country for 1916 will be under
taken by the forest service in co-opcra-
ton with the National Lumber Manu-
facturcrs association. The informa-
tion to he obtained by this work, it is
stated, will be of immense benefit to
the lumber industry, the forest service
and other branches of the government.
II is estimated by the forest service
that there are more than 10000 saw
mills in the country and it is planned
90 have the investigation reach every
sawmili in operation. Each of these
will be asked to make detailed report
Of its production. Information is
sought as to the total quantity Of each
kind of wood sawed, the number of
lath and shingles manufactured and
the average mill value for each species.
Printed schedules designed for use in
different regions of the country will
simplify the collection of the figures
and make it easy for each mill man to
send in a complete report. The work,
il is stated, will be directed by the of
flee of industrial investigations of the
forest service in Washington, but the
WcSttI0 part OF inc country Will Dc
covered by the district offices of the
forest service located in Missoula,
Mont, Denver, Colo, Albuquerque, n.
NJ, Ogden, Utah, San Francisco, Cal,
and Portland, Ore. The officers in
charge of these districts, being nearer
and thoroughly familiar with the scene
of operations, are able to secure re.
turns and compile results in less time
than if the work were all handled from
Washington.
1t Is intended that preliminary state
ments showing the production Of the
principal species, such as yellow pine
Douglas fir, white pine, and oak, and
also the production Of the leading
states, will be issued as soon as the fig
ures are available. The Importance OF
these annual statistics, forest service
officials say, is apparently not fully
realized by all of the sawmill men
since past attempts to gather similar
data show large number often fai
TO reply promptly, or neglect to make
any report. A better response hal
been received from the lumber trade
in late years, and the officials il
charge of the work believe that will

tai production can be announced b,

WILSON VICTORY CELEBRATION
Eight Hundred in Winchester Hear Elk
Gov. Walsh of Massachusetts,
light Parade Before Speaking.

The Democrats of Winchester, Hins-
dale, Swanzey, Keene, Marlboro and
Troy, n. H., celebrated Nov. l6 the re-
election of President Wilson with rous-
ing torchlight procession and address
in the town hall in Winchester by ex-
Gov David ]. Walsh of Massachusetts.
A special train was run from South
Vernon to accommodate those in the
towns down the valley, and ut the con
clusion Of the evening s program was
run through to Keene to convey those
who came down on the regular train
earlier in the evening.
Ex-Gov. Walsh was met at the sta
ton by the reception committee, which
consisted of Messrs. j. II. Dickinson,
Representative elect L. f. Qualters, +.
p. Kellom and b. G. Merrill. He was
escorted to the hotel by the band.
The procession covered the princi-
pal streets of the town, and was partic
ipatcd in by about 300. Torchlights
by the score were in the hands of en-
thusiastic Democrats and red fire and
Roman candles burned all along the
line of march. The local band and two
drum corps furnished music.
When the doors of the hall were
opened at $50 there was a mad rush
for seats, and fully 500 persons listened
to Ex-Governor Walsh 8 address of 40
minutes duration. b. c. Merrill, chair
man of the local Democratic club, pre-
sided.
Mr.. Walsh congratulated the town on
its patriotism and exceptional enthusi-
assn as evidenced by the parade,
and said that while he was proud of
Massachusetts he was prouder still of
New Hampshire for declaring its lib
erty" at the last election and giving
the electoral vote of the state to Presi-
dent Wilson. He said the celebration
was not only local in character, but Gel
ebrated an important event in the his
tory of the country, the vindication Of
President Wilson and his policies.
