progress Is slow at the best. The maple
production in Canada for years was on
the decline owing to the fact that the pro

government took hand and forbade the
making, selling or labelling Of adulterated
goods with q maple" label War condi-
lions in Canada forced the sugar ana mo-

WASHINGTON COUNTY
MONTPELIER.

The snow storm of Saturday night fol-
lowing by a wind Sunday morning raised
havoc with the train service In this part
Of the State. All of the Central Vermont
trains coming to the local station were
late The paper train was over an hour
late, due to connections south Of White
River junction. The milk train was also
late while the southbound New England
States Limited was 30 minutes late. The
engine on branch passenger train was de-
rallied at Barre during the night An en-
CINE from Montpelier Junction was used
to pull the train for the morning express.
The Montpelier G. Wells railroad ran its
snow pillow for the first time this season.
AS a result Of an investigation the local
fuel committee, Of which G. L. Blanchard
is chairman. has ascertained that Mont
pelier is better supplied with coal this
year than a year ago. that Is to say more
coal has arrived here at the same time In
the season as compared to like time last
year and more Of the homes have been
accommodated than at the same time last
year. The board will leave the matter Of
| cooperation of the churches on coal con-
servation largely to the different churches.
The present plan is that the vestries Of
the churches be used instead Of trying to
combine services In one church. If this
plan Is followed. more than two-thirds Of
the coal supply will be conserved. or
enough to carry the churches through
next year. Each has enough coal on hand
to carry 1t through this year even IL the
auditoriums were to be used.

William Henry Walker. n. known in
the entire world Of engineering and
science, who died in New York recent
ly. was a native OF Middlebury. He had
only a common school education and
suffered in his youth from the handi-
cap of being a weakling physically.
After working in Hartford, Conn, and
in China he conducted a Photographic
store in Rochester, N Y, where he be-
came acquainted with the Eastmans of
Kodak fame. Their mutual interests
soon led to a partnership that resulted
in great profit to both. Up to the time
Of Mr.. Walkers entrance into the bust
ness the whole workings Of photogra-
ply had been complicated. The plates
and papers were unsatisfactory and the
mechanism of the cameras very COM
plicated and not adaptable for use by
amateurs.
Mr.. Walker soon showed remarkable
inventive powers which led in q short
time to great changes In the industry.
Mechanical improvements were made in
the operation of cameras and the chem
ical branch was SO greatly improved
that the camera came into common use.
About 80 years ago, Mr.. Walker went
to London where he organized the Eu-
ropean branch Of the Eastman Kodak
company. He remained there 20 years.
having charge Of all the business In
that section OF the world. Hardly
town or city of any size can be found
in the known world to-day that does
not unconsciously pay a tribute to his
business and executive ability.
Mr.. Walkers inventions brought him
several millions, and he devoted a large
part Of his income to philanthropic
work. Among his recent gifts were
100000 to Stevens Institute, $4,000 to
the Red Cross upon the entry Of the
United States into the war, and $4,000
to the Mechanical Institute OF Roches-
ter. N. Y.

company 10 years ago and since then
had built up at Great harrington. Mass.
