This was decided during the visit of
Henry 0Mally of Washington, in charge
OF fish culture for the United States bu.
reau OF fisheries, and by A. II. Dinsmore,
superintendent of the government fish
propagation in Vermont.
The chief reason for the change Is the
uncertainty of the present water supply

government boats in the river John
Niles, local superintendent, will begin
Monday 20 make arrangements for NOV
ing the building 10 the new site. The
structure will be taken down in sections,
hauled TO West Swanton by boat and
then set up as it stands to-day. The
plant will be near the river and lake
shore fishing grounds, where the pike are
taken in the spring, and the distribution
of fry will be much easier either by wa.
ter or rail. The new auxiliary fish hatch.
cry at Burlington can be better supplied
from this point.

Therefore, the question as to whether
Dr. Adams was suicide or the victim
of another's plotting still remains un-
solved.

was as follows
"The poison from the effects of which
DR.. Celia P. Adams came to her death
has been shown by chemical examination
to be mercury.
"The form in which the poison was
taken. as well as other facts relative to

HELD IN AUGUST

Probably Meet at Niagara Falls
TO Settle Border Dispute.

Mexico City. July 2l.--The details of
Nlexico's proposals for peaceful solu'
tion of the difficulties existing with the
United States were made public last
night by the foreign office when a copy
of the note which was sent TO the Wash
ington government July IL was given TO

mornings edition.
The note suggests the naming of three
commissioners by each government. the
commissioners To meet at some neutral
point for the purpose of discussing the
withdrawal of the American troops now
in Mexico, the drawing up OF an agree
ment providing terms for the reciprocal
crossing OF the frontier by the troops of
either nation. and the investigation OF
the origin OF the parties which have
raided American border towns, for the
purpose of definitely fixing responsibility
for them.
In commenting on the note last night
foreign Office officials said that as the
note had not yet been answered by the
Washington government they considered
il their duty to the Mexican people TO
make it public that Mexicans might
know what effort their government was
making toward 4 peaceful solution of the
pending difficulties.

sources that the conference probably will
be held in Niagara Falls. The names of
the Mexican delegates have not yet been
made public, but it is known that they
will all be civilians, and that the chair
man of the commission will be member
Of General Carranza's S cabinet well known

said woman and four children were

TO DEVELOP POWER.
Swanton's New Hydroelectric Plant Will
Cost About $4,000.

Swanton, July 2l.--At an adjourned
village meeting last evening it was voted
to develop the Highgate power to the
extent of 000-horsepower unit, which
will cost approximately $55,000. This
means that a new powerhouse will be
erected at the foot of the rapids, where
the fall is very much greater than the
present plant, which is located near the
dam. This step has become necessary
owing to the constantly increasing de-
msnd for electricity for both lighting
and motor purposes. The blasting for
the new penstock will begin at once and
it is expected the new plant will be in
operation by next May. This work will
cost around $4,000, so that the total
cost of development for Swanton's new
hydroelectric plant will be around So,
900.

The Way Vermont Does Things.

Some years ago a determined Green
Mountain boy, Ethan Allen, crossed over
Lake Champlain to Fort Ticonderoga and
"in the name of the Great Jehovah and
the Continental Congress" commanded
the English to surrender The memory
of Ethan Allen still lives, as imperish-
able as the Rock of Gibraltar and mon.
ument to Nermont's way of doing things.
When Ethan Allen set out from the
Green mountains he had a fixed purpose
in mind and he accomplished that pur-
pose.
The state of Vermont is still doing
things and the Ethan Allen of the pres
sent day is Guy w. Bailey, secretary of
state. Mr.. Bailey is commander in chief
of the publicity of the state and from
his headquarters in Essex Junction he Is
sending forth a command which should
be as effective as the command of Ethan
Allen. 1t is commanding because it is
SO brimful of courtesy and the spirit
of hospitality that human nature is
quite likely to surrender to the com
manding influence of the invitation.
A little card which is finding its way
into every nook and corner of the eastern
states reads as follows
"The state of Vermont extends to you
cordial invitation to spend your vaca-
ton among its Green mountains, or on
the shores of its beautiful lakes and
streams. The acceptance of this invita-
tion will ensure you a hearty welcome
and hospitable entertainment; and it is
the hope of this commonwealth that your
stay here will be so pleasant that with
the approach of each successive vaca-
ton period you will anticipate with
eagerness an outing in the Green Noun
tain state"
And then. just to show that good fell
lowship is predominant character OF
Vermonters, there is sent also a card
with this inscription:
This introduces Mr.. Anv
courtesy that you may render will be
appreciated by the Vermont publicity /
department.
