LOCAL Fishermen
PLANT $4,000
FIN6ERLIAGs
Large Consignment Received from
Plymouth, Mass, Hatchery
DISTRIBUTED IN MANY STREAMS
Warden Higgins and Members Of
County Association Met Shipment
at North PownaI This Morning ]

One of the largest and finest con-
signments of brook trout fngerlings
received in Bennington county in
years arrived early this morning from
the Plymouth Mass, hatchery and
were planted in streams in this vici-
nifty by County Fish and game War
den Edward S. Higgins and members
Of the Bennington County Forest,
Fish and Game association.
There were about $4,000 young fish
in the 20 cans which left Boston at
II o'clock last night in charge Of
hatchery messenger. In order to fa-
cilitate the distribution and to be able
to plant the fish in the shortest pos
sible time after they left the hatchery
the consignment, at he suggestion OF
Warden Higgins, was shipped over the
Boston and Maine railroad to North
Pownal
When the train arrived at North
Pownal about O'clock this morning
II was met by the Warden and his as
sistants. The automobiles and auto
trucks we're backed up to the door OF
the baggage car and the cans were
quickly loaded and On their way to the
mountain streams.
The warden was assited in the dis
trlbution by Samuel Hawks, President
n. +. Greenslet and Secretary VIII
liam II. Wills Of the county associa-
tio, Tnhp ID Morricnox- aud LdnvpJ
Lafranchise. The party was equipped
with two automobiles provided by Mr..
Hawks, one car owned by Mr.. Wills
ana two trucks, one from the Perry
B. Gardner garage and the other be-
longing to Hichey & Weeks.
The fingerllngs were divided and
distributed in Mill brook, the Redfeld
brock, Deep Hollow, the Robinson
brook, the Chapel brook, the Furnace
brook. the South stream, the Dunville.
Glastonbury, Bickford Hollow and
He'll Hollow.
The fngerlings were not only large
and well developed but they came
through to North Pownal in excellent
shape. In some cans there were only
| one CT two dead fish. They were dis
tributed so quickly and at such an
| early hour in the morning that they
| were in the streams before the sun
/ was at any height and no loss was
| sustained in the process of planting.
The manner in which the warden
and the members of the association
handled the consignment again demon
straees that bennington and Benning-
ton county sports men are doing more
| for the maintenance of the trout fish
ing than is being accomplished in any
other section OF the state The war
den is not only an efficient and en-
| thusiastic Official but he Knows that
he is supported by an aggregation Of
real sportsmen. The excellent fishing
that has prevailed in this section dur
ing the present season is proof enough
that results are being accomplished.

ui Nothing Il clearer than the fact that
the system OF landholdlng In the most
ancient races was communal. Private
right In land was FOR long time un'
known. the source of life being held In
common between the members of the
tribe. Not only land, but all property
that in any way had to do with the
general welfare, was looked upon as
belonging to the whole tribe In cont
mon. no individual having the right to
call Il his own. Gradually and after
very long time, under the old regime,
the right OF private ownership began
to creep In until at last Il became the
recognized rule pretty nearly every
where.

GERMANS DENY DEFEAT
Say Their Enemies Send Out Lying
Claims.

London, Tuesday, July lS.-The
German General Staff has issued an
appeal to the people of Germany for
confidence In the conduct OF the war,
according to Rotterdam dispatch to
The Daily News.
Never has the world experienced
so stupendous as the present battles, -
says the appeal. Never has an army
braved what ours has braved.'
The appeal adds:
"The enemy is sending out every
few hours claims to have taken vii
lagos, woods, and thousands of pris-
oners, in reports that are no longer
couched in the language of soldiers,
but are fantastic hymns of victory
that mock truth, in an effort to under
mine German confidence"

vermont-New Hampshire Controversy
Puzzle for Supreme Court.

vermont-New Hampshire Controversy
Puzzle for Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court OF the United
States has on hand a difficult Ques.
ton in the settlement of the boundary
line between New Hampshire ana
Vermont, says the Boston Transcript.
Arriving somewhat late on the
scene, the new state OF Vermont had
to accept, in 1871, the boundary which
the King of England had accommodate
ingly set Tor New Hampshire, namely,
the western bank OF the Connecticut
rive.
The fixing of the bank Of any
stream as a border, instead OF the
middle of the main current. wherever
that may flow, is always productive
of trouble and dispute, for the hanks of
streams often change, and the ques-
ton must arise whether the boundry
changes with them
All islands In the Connecticut, oppo-
site her territory, belong to New
Hampshire But islands have become
joined to the Vermont mainland.
DO they by this process become
part OF Vermont? The current has
shifted so as to convert into an island
what has been part OF the Vermont
mainland
Does that shift the territory into
New Hampshire? Land has been
made on the Vermont side. and costly
mills have been built there, on which
both states have attempted 70 collect
taxes.
To which do the taxes belong? A
great industrial dam has flooded Yer.
mont meadows in and above Vernon
| and Brattleboro Does that flooded
land now belong to New Hampshire,
and will It go back to Vermont again
as soon as the water is drawn on?
Questions like these all Of which
are founded upon actual conditions or
occurrences, suggest the imrossibility
of maintaining that kind of bound
airy between American states.
No doubt the Supreme Court, being
governed by scrupulous respect FOR
the letter of the law. will be inclined
to defend the authority Of the dead
hand of England's king. but It viii Ger
tainly deyolye upon the court to pro
vide, IL possible, some other sort oI
