History of Waterbury

A history that is a history is that just
issued by Editor Whitehill of the Water
bury Record. 1t is a history of Water
bury and ranks among the best towr
histories in Vermont. The writer of the
history is Theodore G. Lewis and its
pages show deep research and careful
study 1t is written in a style that is
thorough and interesting and will prove
valuable reference book. Other towns
would do we'll to initiate the example set
by Waterbury.
We append review of the book by the
Rutland Herald.
The book is respectable quarto OF
nearly 400 pages, bound in red board and
embellished with number of excellently
imprinted half-tones, the subjects being
identified with the history of the town
and village.
fine contents are unanimously tabu-
lated, covering six periods. The first be-
gins, not only with the charter of the
town in 1868, but actually with the rec
ords of aboriginal trails and the murder
GUS expedition of de Rouville, who passed
down the Winooski valley in 1704 to muir
der, rapine and pillage in Deerfield, Mass.
The second period begins in 1900, with
Ezra Butler and his activities as promi.
nent feature. The third extends from
1880 to 1850, decade crowded with event.
full history, and the Dillingham; family
and their services to the town and state
as features.
Down to 1876 the history deals with
pertinent local matters, with the echoes
of the Civil war, the services of brave
soldiers and the post-bellum up build
ings graphically told. From 1875 to 1900.
the history is practically contemporary,
with the Mount Mansfield railroad, Soma
tor Dillingham;, the state hospital and
the village incorporation as factors in the
story.
The final decade and a half brings the
history to 1915, with the address of Sena-
tor Dillingham; at the unwilling of the
Soldiers monument, May 40, 1914, as an
appendix. The book is something of a
model in care of compilation, scholarly
phraseology and succinct, but complete
narrative.
Mr.. Lewis has certainly made his title
clear as Vermont historian, as the his
torial references to state affairs and prog
ress show a research and familiarity with
our commemorative spirit and accom-
plishments which suggest his fitness for
greater work.

Much Gold Overlooked.

The sequence of events so often OBJ
served in the history of gold-mining
camps has been repeated in the Will
low Creek district, Alaska. The
earliest prospectors, in 1897, were pri-
marily interested in the search for
placer gold, and having found it, were
too busily engaged in mining to trace
the stream gold to the veins from
which it originally came. 1t was near
ly ten years later that the first of the
valuable quartz veins that now yield
most of the gold mined in the district
was discovered. Since 1906, however,
quartz mining has progressed steadily
and has rested upon a substantial
basis.

American Shippers

Among the alleged conspirators who
have been Indicted by Federal grand
jury for plotting against American in
dustries and American neutrality are a
Congressman, an Elk Congressman and a
former Acknowledgement of Ohio. Others
entrapped in the same net by the United
States Secret Service are less known and
appear to be small fry
The alleged offenders who are appar-
emily the leaders in this reasonable con.
spiracy to aid foreign nation at the ex-
pense of the United States were identified
with a so-calleo peace society which is
alleged to have been in the pay of the
| German government and whose chief
purpose was to fomeut labor troubles in
plants making war munitions for the
allies.
The indicted Congressman some time
ago read articles of impeachment against
the United States official who had charge
of the prosecution ofthe American snipers
and he now declares that the charge
against him are framed up. They lsay
that, as the coils tighten around them,
blu, for the honor of the House of Repre-
sentatives it is to be hoped that this par
ticular defendant will be able to prove his
innocence.
The presence of American snipers, oper
ating from behind the linesin this country
for a price, is anything but pleasant
spectacle to Americans, and that one Of
the accused should be a national law
maker sworn to uphold the laws of the
country, makes the indictment still more
shocking.

he obtains the benefit OF the fertiliz-
ing material left in the manure.
Practically all of the nitrogen phos-
phorus and potash which is in the
feeds is recovered in the manure.
When the grain or hay is shipped to
some far distant city these elements
are irrevocably lost. All those
who engage in agricultural pursuits
should be keenly conscious of this
fact and employ methods of manage
ment accordingly.
II is well known fact that the
animal uses the nitrogen. phosphor-
us. potassium and other elements Of
the feedstuffs to build up the body,
carry on the work of the body, and
to produce milk, work, flesh, wool,
etc. At the same time we must re
member that all all these processes
involve the building up and break
ing down of body cells. and the com
ponent parts OF these cells are
thrown off as waste matter
In this waste matter we have the
same elements as were in the feed
consumed. Except in cases Of grow
ing animals whose bodies are increas-
ing in size, practically the same
amount of nitrogen, potassium and
phosphorus are voided in the man
nure as were contained in the feeds
