! Another water power bill, the Ferris
Bill, relating TO the public lands anC
National Forests, was in the main a
good bill as il passed the House. A.
reported TO the Senate, it encourages
monopoly by permitting Il corporation
to take rs many public water power
sites as it may please. Under it the
corporations could not even be kept
from fastening upon the Grand Can
/ yon, the greatest natural wonder on
his continent This bill takes the
care Of water powers on National For
ests from the experienced and com
petent Forest Service, and gives it to
the Interior Department, thus entail
ing duplication and needless expense
In my opinion, :here is undue care
lessncss as to the disposal Of public
resources at present in Washington
The water power legislation now be
fore the Senate is too favorable to the
men who, as Secretary Houston's adj
mirable recent report shows, control
through Is corporations more than
one half of the total water power used
in public service throughout the
United States. The water power men
charge that Conservation hampers de-
velopment The Houston report shows,
on the contrary, that the most rapid
development is in the National For
ests, where conservation is best en-
forced. On the other hand, 120 public
service corporations own and are hold
ing undeyeloped and out of use an
amount Of water power equal to four
ffths Of all there is developed and in
use by all the public service corpora
tions in the whole United States
As | said in an open letter of Janu-
airy 90 to the President:
Natural resources lie at the foun-
dation Of all preparedness, whether
for peace or for war. No plan fo@
National defense can be effective un-
less it provides for adequate public |
of all the raw materials out Of
which the defensive strength Of a ma
ton is made. OF these raw materials
water power is the most essential be
,ause without electricity generated
from water power we can not manu-
racture nitrates, and nitrates are the
oasis of gunpowder. There are no
great natural deposits of nitrates in
he United States as there are in
chill. 1t would be folly TO allow the
public water powers, which can supply (
his indispensable basis of national de-
ense, to pass out Of effective public
A concerted movement is on foot to
freak down the Conservation policy.
Feeble resistance or none at all is be-
ng made by official Washington. I'M
ess the press and the people come to ,
he rescue, the power interests are
ikely to win. This is a public matter |
wholly removed from political parti, |
anship. Your help is needed, and :
hat of your paper. For nearly ten t
ears this fight for the public water {
overs has gone on. We ought not to i
)se it now. q
Sincerely yours, '

BILL" BROWN

Back in the fifties there came tC
East Dorset one "Bill' Brown from
Old Concord, Mass. He was connected
in the lumber business at the forks ol
Mad Tom with Captain Wood. The
mill was a small water power, rotary
saw mill and only ran in the spring
each year at high water and employed
! but three men.
Bill Brown had general supervision
of the mill and hauled such lumber
away as would not float down the
spout two and one half miles to East
Dorset. For hauling this hard wood
lumber he made a sled, an OK affair,
very long and rigid, and to this he
hitched his young, spry oxen, and
loaded on a thousand feet Of green
birch boards. The boys at the mill
advised him that he better not, but he
told them that "Old Concord" (as he
called the big sled) would do j., and
it did. The road was steep, narro#
and crooked. Away down this road
went Bill, oxen, sled and boards.
Less than a mile was made when the
big sled and load went over the bank
and would have landed in Mad Tom
so feet below but for a big yellow
birch tree that grew slantng in the
bank below the road. The oxen went
each side of this birch tree, the pole
of the sled and OK yoke sliding up the
tree and hanging both oxen up where
they choked to death before help
came. They represented all of Bills
wealth and he felt so bad for the oxen
and the loss of all tina: he cried.
Now Bill was a nervous, hard driver
of men, but he had big heart and
much sympathy for distress. One
Alonzo B. worked for him as lumber
shower in the mill and in the yard.
Bill was want to get fractions and
boss Alonzo B. around pretty freely
so one morning when Bill went up to
the mill and found some lumber shov- !
ed down .he chute from the mill that !

words passed between them. Bill, /
rushed up into the mill and tackled /
Alonzo with the result that Alonzo /

Bill crawled out Of the brook, went up

hand and said: "You are a better man

FOR STATE-WID PROHIBITION

o voters of our Commonwealth,
A foe is robbing you by stealth
A foe more deadly than you think
The trade in alcoholic drink.
0 men who hold within your hand
The mightiest weapon of our land,
Weld it this year against this wrong
And let each stroke be swift and
strong.
This cause of many an evil, strike,
Which curses high and low alike,
Which crushes out the hopes that
bless,
And robs the home Of happiness.
Redeem the manhood Of our State;
Save womanhood from the sad fate
That falls upon the drunkard's wife;
Save childhood from blighted life.
Take from your boys-your neighbor's
boys
The glass that lures and then destroys
And put temptation from their way
By closing the saloon for aye.
Take from Vermont's now tarnished
name
Completely in crime and shame,
And let il once more Rlistcn bright
With true devotion to the right
Yc stand before q Judgment bar
Not in the mist5 Of time afar,
But in the present, here and real,
And present acts your sentence seal
With greater power than Of a sword
Your ballo. speaks its eonquering
word.
Q every man in every town
Arise! Cast the drink-demon down,
Celia II. Reynolds.

Women are too likely TO think OF
economy only in terms of dollars and
cents. In comparing the cost Of different
garments the time element is often neg
lected. To one woman ready-made
garment seems expensive because she

material In n garment she herself makes,
while she considers an article on which
she has put hours OF time cheap IL the

life of a garment, the satisfaction gained

first place, but II is a poor investment II
