MAY NOT OPEN SEPT. 1a.
Local Schools May Not Start Until
Sept 25, Because of Valley Fair.

The date of the opening of the
Brattleboro public schools has not
yet been definitely determined, and
in all probability will not be until
the return the latter part Of the
week of Rev. L. @. S. Osgood, chair
man of the prudential committee.
The fact that the Valley fair comes
Sept. 10, 20 and p makes it doubt
full whether the schools here will
open Monday, Sept. IS, the date re-
Gently set by the state commissioner
of education. Teachers have been
notified that the opening has been
postponed at least until Sept. IS,
and there is a possibility that they
will be told later that the opening
has been put off until the 25th.

fBy cable TO The Tribune
Paris. July 10.-Juggling with the
taxes on alcohol was expected to
produce l5O,OOO,0O0 francs increase
in revenue; the government has
reaped, on the contrary, 80, o,ooo'-
600 francs deficit. The Minister OF
Finances now advances a project
based on the direct taxes instituted
in 1871. called the four old taxes.
They comprise land tax on property
built and unbuilt, tax on doors and
windows, a personal tax and one on
personal property and licenses.
Rbot has proposed to double these
taxes. except the one on doors and
windows, hoping to obtain from
them 275,OOO,OOO francs. The Bud
get Commission has declared that
this sum could be obtained by an
other system of direct taxes. The
result the commission obtained with
the alcohol tax ought to make 1t
modest.
| have said that the amount OF
stocks loaned to the state had
reached a billion francs. 1t has now
passed that amount. Owners OF
such stocks who have them depos-
tied in the United States can have
them delivered in New York without
sending them from France. 1t suf-
fees to authorize the transfer, and
the owners will continue to receive
directly interest and dividend by
means of a check sent from New
York, as in the past, as well as
% per cent bonus, which will be paid
in Paris.
American owners can also profit
by the facilities for the loan of
stocks deposited in the United States
and thereby do an advantageous
business. It will suffice that the
American banks receive the stocks
or bonds as a loan to France; and as
the loans will be anonymous the
French Treasury makes no dlstlnc-
tion between French citizens and
neutrals.

We have in course of
preparation a booklet on the
ANACONDA COPPER
MINING COMPANY in
which we shall describe at
some length the new and
interesting Developments
connected with the wide
application of electric power
tothe company separations,
the improvement in pro-
ocsscs, and the installation
of new metallurgical meth
DDS which have brought
about a New Anaconda.
AS the booklet discusses
these subjects quite thor
oughly, illustrates them
with many photographs, and
describes their bearing on
Anaconda's future outlook,
it will necessarily be rather
elaborate, and the number
to be printed will be limited
TO the number inquired for.
In order TO determine the
number of these booklets
desired, we are requesting
those who wish TO obtain
copies to write us to that
