Some months ago Prof. G. r. E. Story
OF the State university in conversation

mouth. Mass. spoke OF the need Of a good
Ayrshire bull for constructive breeding
in the university herd. Through the
efforts Of Mr.. Stockwell, a young bull

the generosity Of r. r. Butterfield of
Derby Line. While at the national dairy
show ut Springfield. Mass. Professor
Story met Mr.. Butterfeld and the bull
was formally presented to the State uni
versity. Mr.. Butterneld has developed
this young BULL during the past few

FLOOD IS FEARED.

The heavy rain Friday night and Sat-
nrday and the thaw Of the past few days
have begun to take effect on the White
and Connecticut rivers both of which
streans rose over two feet Saturday
hight and Sunday morning. The thick
ness Of the ice in both streams at White
esiver Junction has reached from % to
'b6 inches and considerable apprehension
lis felt as to just what will happen II it
all moves at once. Little fear is felt for
the four bridges which span the river as
they are all Of steel and very substantial,
Ithe one over the White river being new
flour years ago. There Is considerable
speculation as to the probable result OF
continued thaw on the dams at Sharon
and Hartford villages. 1t is understood
that protective steps will be taken by the
oBharon Power company and the wooden
mills at Hartford to insure the safety OF
both dams. Although the water has not
risen to the high water mark of last year
| II seems certain that it will as there is an
immense amount Of snow in the woods.
Farmers from the rural districts around
the village report that there is from three
ITO four feet Of snow in the country and
that the roads are almost impossible.

CANS AND BOXES NEEDED.
Other Industries Should Follow Coming
of Chocolate Company.


The building Of the Vermont Milk Choc-
olate company In this city, which when
the first unit is completed will mean the
employment of about 300 persons, all OF
whom, with the exception of about q
dozen, will be drawn from this vicinity.
may result in the introducing Of
at least one new industry in ad-
dition to the candy factory, and
the charging Of several others. OF
course when the three units have been
completed there will be three times as
many persons employed by the company.
The new industry will be that which will
turn out tin cans. The chocolate COM
pany will demand for use each day from
10000 to 5000 tin cans to be used as re-
tanners for the cocoa. one OF the products
which will be manufactured by the COM
pany. It is the desire Of those interested
in the company that these retainers be
manufactured in Burlington and a Bur-
lington industry which could supply the
demand would be given preference over
all others.
From twelve to fifteen thousand PASTE
board boxes will also be needed each day
after the plant has been put in operation.
This would mean that the Paper Tube &
Box company would have to develop it's
plant 80 as to manufacture about three
times as many boxes as can at present
be turned out there This company is al
ready taking steps to purchase the equip
ment which would be required to manu-
facture this increased number Of boxes.
The number Of wooden boxes which would
be demanded by the company would be
large enough to keep one good-sized mill
busy all Of the time.

suit of extensive investigations on the part
Of Clyde w. Ketcham, a lawyer Of Kala-
mazoo. Mich, who has been in Rutland,
1t develops that Civil war veteran by
the name Of Wallace L. Long. who is now
In the soldiers home at Grand Rapids,
Mich. will share the $500 with Mrs. ia
