The Dennisons' Adventure

in the woods of the Dixvile Notch
country, will be read, doubtless, with
interest by nearly everybody The af-

its picturcsqucness. Here are two peo-

next day they 90 on, vainly seeking to
escape from the forest labyrinth, sub

And all the while, only a few miles
away is the great hotel, where their

which searching parties have started

An anonymous correspondent asks
The Reformer whether the statement
is true that the late Justin S. Morrill,
served longer in congress than any
other American statesman. 1t is. When
Senator Morrill, died Dee. %, 1898, his
tenure of office as representative and
senator had covered period of A
years, lacking only &c days. He was
in the house II years before he was
chosen to the senate. In the house he
attained prominence rapidly, although
when he first took his seat, at the
age of A, he bad never had legisla-
tive experience of any kind. The only
other man who served in congress over
10 years was the late Senator Allison
of Iowa. His combined terms aggre-
died in August, 1908. Allison was in
the house eight years and in the senate
30 years, being member of the latter
body longer than any other man. Mr.
| Morrill, 8 service was continuous, while
there was a break of two years be
| tween the time when Allison left the
house and entered the senate In thi,
connection we wonder whether any
| Windham county student can tell from
memory the name of the only man chos

parts of the country-the states of Yer

Vermont "a Great Tale State.

That the town of Rochester in Wind
sor county is one Of the leading tale
mining centers III the entire country is
perhaps realized by few people, even in
Vermont; yet we have the official sta
tistics of the government and recurring
news items to bear out the claim. We
read recently Of the requirement Of two
farms and the mining rights on third
farm in that town, the property being
secured for the purpose of extending
the tale mining operations already I'M,
der way. Moreover, we learn from the
government statistics that the states of
New York and Vermont produce 80 per
cent of all the tale mined in the United
States, with the former state leading
with % per cent and Vermont having
81 per cent Outside Of New York. Yer
mont produces far more than all the
other states combined. The time nav
come when Vermont will be the leading
state, as it Is in the production of gran

where the mines are located, the PEG

that Vermont is going ahead rapidly

The experiment of stocking West
river with steelhead trout will be
watched with interest by all anglers
in Windham county. West river is
in the main a shallow stream, but at
various points fine pools are found.
Black bass at present furnish the main
sport in the river, but they are not
caught to any extent above the Brook
line bridge. Years ago West river, in
common with other large streams
hcrcabouts, furnished salmon fishing.
The water is not polluted to any great
extent today, and many good sports
men in this part of the state believe
that fine fishing may be provided in

as his only reason for supporting the
latter the fact that Mr.. Sinnott and

Tumulty saws:
