WORLDS LARGEST rALc CENTER,

Barre. famed for its granite, is not
the States only Largest center in tho
world" Rochester has long been claim.
ing to be the largest center of the tale
industry in the world, and the general
superintendent of one of the largest pro-
ducing companies in the State writes in
proof Of the fact. Moretown. a rival of
Rochester. East Granville. Cambridge,
johnson. Windham and Chester Depot, or
their vicinitfes. also contains substantial
deposits.
What he says substantiates in part
what the Free Press asserted in a frag-
mentary way lately. He writes:
There is no question but that Roches-
ter is correct in it's claim about being
the leading tale center in the world as 1t
has the largest tale mill in the world at
present and the capacity Of this mill
is also the greatest Of any mill in the
world. it's total output being between
$500 and 1000 tons a month throughout the
year.
THE expenditures for new machinery
are constantly being made to the extent
Of probably $4,000 to $4,000 year and the
business is constantly growing.
vermont is second only to New York
In the amount Of tale produced"
The variety Of uses that tale may be put
to will surprise the ordinary reader who
hears Of 1t only in the form of a powder.
Industrial Vermont" says: "Talc is USE
cd in the manufacture Of paper and rub
Der. and in sizing and bleaching cotton
cloth, in the manufacture of toilet pow
ders. soaps. shade cloth and curtains.
water proof paint. gypsum wall plasters.
In dressing skins and leather. in the man.
ufacture Of insulators. and in the ceramic
arts"
It looks as II there would be plenty Of
opportunities In the future of establishing
new factories in the State. to make pro.
ducts of which the chief constituent is
tale.

GRAFTON In military contingency is a
question which will be determined in no
small degree by the attitude Of the mas
tiers Of transportation themselves. If they
adopt public be blamed" policy, then
the people will have to take matters into
their own hands. On the other hand. IL
railroad heads seek to meet the needs Of
the people in connection with this great
public service and provide adequate facili-
ties and satisfactory service, then private
enterprise will unouestionably continue
to carry both the American people and
their freights.

Army Piers in Hoboken, requested
Mayor Griffin 20 have the saloons
closed at 10 o'clock at night, and that
there seemed to be no doubt but that
this order was to go into effect i'm
mediately; that is TO say, last night.
The leading saloon keepers said this
morning that they had received no
request from either the military or
the city officials to close their sa-
looms. They said that they were told
70 be- at the City Hall Wednesday
morning next. when they would be
told why this order Is to 20 into
effect.
The order for the closing has come
upon the saloon keepers like bomb
shell. There are 326 saloons In tho
city, and 1t is the prevailing belief
that the order will shortly bo extend
ed to include every portion OF the city,
making Hoboken the drtest place out
side OF Egypt.
II is stated on the best OF authority
that the saloon keepers will do every
thing possible TO induce the military
officials TO chage their minds. OF the
