Everybody interested in the prosperity
of Brattleboro is glad to know that ar
rangements have been made whereby the
office of the secretary of the Holstein- Erie
sian Association of America will remain in
this town. The modern, fireproof building
which will be erected by Arthur B. Clapp
for use of the association means that its
large and rapidly increasing business will
be transacted here for a period of at least
ten years, and probably longer. The
growth of the association during the past
ten years has been little short of phenom-
email. A person doesn't have to be very
connected with the secretarys office was
transacted IN one room in Hooker block
Now there is work enough to keep some
thing over 100 persons actively employed,
with every prospect that the number will
have to be increased steadily to keep pace
with the associations development The
new building which Mr.. Clapp is to build
will not only ensure the retention in this
town of one of its important industries,
but will add appreciably to the towns
business real estate and greatly improve
the appearance of lower Main street For
these reasons alone there ought to be a
disposition on the part of the voters of
the village to help along the project by
authorizing the sale of the old South Main

There are only two things on earth
the reporter is afraid of-the city edi
tor and the libel laws. If the reporter
had his way, the city editor would be
removed from our midst and obliged
to work at some honest occupation. One
of the most trying things that can b fp-
pen to new, self-possessed reporter is
to turn in long palpitating story that
sounds like sharp solo and nave an
illiterate, beetle-faced city editor tear
everything out of it except the facts.
The first thing the reporter is eau
toned against is the h bit of libeling
people who have paid in advance or
are good for half-page in the Sunday
issue. Tho surest way to obtain riches
and escape being ibeled in some vital
spot is TO become a steady advertiser
and live life beyond reproach.
Reporters are born, not made, which
should prevent people from becoming
embittered and stopping the paper
while still highly delinquent.

Capt. E. w Gibson generously shares
with the business men Of the town the
credit for putting Company I on its pres

deny that the major part of the work of
recruiting the company has fallen ON Cap
tain Gibson personally and he is entitled TO
much commentator for the Jealous way
he has handled it. Recent developments
in the Mexican situation no doubt have
been a factor in arousing interest in mill
tia service just at present there is some
thing more than a possibility that militia
regiments viii be called upon to assist in
the work which Uncle Sam has undertaken
across the Rio Grande. In fact, it would
not surprise many people if the Vermont
regiment along with other New England
volunteer troops We're sent south for ser
vice along the Mexican border within
comparatively short time In view of this
situation the advantage of having the local
company in condition to bear it's share of
the burden is especially apparent
byproducts continues to increase the time
will come when sawmill owners will utilize
the waste with which so many of them now
lcontaminate the streams Trout fishermen
hope that the situation win develop along
these lines; indeed, they wish that sawdust
would acquire such value that not even
the owner of temporary mill would think
of letting it run to waste. And it isn't too
much to expect that this may come about.
Right here in Windham county there are
millmen who dump sawdust into the
streams for the simple reason that they
always have done so, not because that
method OF disposing of it is more economi-
: cal If they could only be shown that a
cessation of this practice would not inter
fere with the profits of their business there
would be no need of prohibitive legisla
ton.
If there wasn't something about specu
lating on the weather that aroused popular

A COMING
THEATRICAL EVENT
The Famous Columbia Stock COM
pany Will Be With Us Soon.

In few weeks from now we will
have this clever company with us
again, for week, presenting : all
new plays, with some new scenery,
and a few new faces, but the odd
members of the company that were
so we'll liked here last season are
still with them.
During the past summer the Co.
lumbia Stock Company has been To-
Gated at a park in Pittsburgh, Pa,
and they were as well received in
Pittsburgh as they were here in
Cambridge, showing that the judg-
ment OF the Cambridge people was
not at fault when they claimed the
Columbia Stock Company to be a
clever show, for Pittsburgh, on ac-
count of the number and variety of
shows that are to be seen there al
ways, is critical, to say the least,
nevertheless, the patrons there were
as delighted with the work of this
company as the people of Cambridge
were.
They have a dandy lot of new
plays, which will be announced later,
but we might mention their feature
play, 1.-THE Rosary" in order to give
their friends here in Cambridge a
chance to read the novel, from
which the play was taken, if they
have not already done so, for it's a
well-known book. This time the
company will be seen at the Audi
torium,, on account OF previous book
ings at the Grand Opera House. The
Columbia Stock Company will be
with us the week of Oct. 23rd, and
we know this notice will be more
than appreciated by their many

MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR RETURN FROM TEXAS

Eagle Pass, Tex, Oct. 13.-Six-
teen miles in five hours and that at
the end of week of the most siren
uous work, the Maryland National
Guard has ever put in. That is what
the First, Fifth and Troop A did to-
day before they arrived in camp at
$50 o'clock this afternoon at the
end of the eight-day hike. Not a
man dropped out.
The maneuVerS as whole were
successful even beyond the expecta-
lions of the department headquart-
ers. General Sibley, commenting up
on the trip, said this afternoon that
the Maryland regiments had shown
by their behavior during the past
week that they were now fully capa-
BILE of taking the field in active war
fare under trying conditions.
The men had been marching since
early morning under a blazing sky,
with the thermometer playing about
the nineties, but they were in the
highest spirits.
The men lad hardly unslung their
packs when the unexpected and well
come order to fall in for pay was
given, the First Regiment getting
paiu first and the Fifth second Be
yond unpacking the wagons and
Strengthening up camp, the men were
called upon for no work during the
remainder of the day. Tomorrow
the work of checking up the proper
ty of the First Regiment will begin,
preparatory to the return to Mary
land
Tuesday the Maryland boys will
leave for Baltimore. A dispatch
from the railroad officials to district
headquarters informed the military
authorities that it would take at
least that long to get the necessary
transportation here.
1t was announced that the regi-
ment, instead of camping at Laurel,
as did the Fourth, will proceed di-
rectly to Baltimore, and, until the
out, will make its head
quarters at either the Fourth or the
Fifth Regiment Armory.
The work of packing up has be-
gun, the men having plenty of time
to get everything ready to move be-
fore the trains arrive. AS soon as
the soldiers arrived in camp the
quartermaster's department began
the issuance of winter clothing. This
is in accordance with an order re-
ceived from the Southern Depart
ment, and must be complied with be-
fore the troops entrain for home.
