GRAVE FEARS ARE
 FELT FOR SAFETY
 OF 2 SEWARD MEN

Itis now believed that Ben Sweasy and Bill" Weaver were drowned in the recent storm which swept around ke- mai Peninsula or else are arooned some place down the coast
 Friends of both are today inclined to believe that the two hunters are dead although they have hopes other wise
 The grub basket the two took with them, and a smashed dory which is thought to be theirs have been found These are the recent developments in the case and these incidents called for the sending out of searching party which left this morning.
 Last night U. s. Deputy Marshal Mossman, at An cborage wired U. S. Deputy Marshal Evans of Seward asking if Weaver had gone hunting from Seward and stating that grub basket marked Weaver and Revel" had been found Elizabeth Island and brought to An chorage.
 When the Evans arrived in port last night Mrs Whorf reported that w. T. Ludy had carried information to Sedova that badly smashed doy had been found anc it's description answered that of the the two missing men left in when they went hunting
 These two facts were sufficient for Marshal Evans tU immediately arrange for searching party.

FEARS ALL HER RELATIVES LOST
Bereft. apparently. of all her family
circle at a single blow. Mrs. Walter
Morgan Of East Barre Is hoping against
hope that later returns from Halifax,
Nova Scotia, will bring tidings of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Aud, of her grand
mother, of her two sisters, and her two
brothers, all of whom lived on the same
street in the stricken city. AS soon as
she learned of the holocaust, Mrs. Nor
gan wired to Halifax for information.
She received no reply and when the sus
pense became uncomfortable, she sent a
message to the chief of police. His
reply furnished the information that the
street where the Aud family lived was
obliterated and that all the residents per-
ished. 1t develops that the street was To-
Gated on hill some distance from the
water front, and that the shock of the
explosion, after ravaging streets nearer
the harbor. passed over valley and
wrought havoc on the highlands. In a
final effort to obtain news of her rela-
tives, Mrs Morgan has telegraphed her
aunt in Moncton, N. B., who has kinsfoll,
living in and about Halifax.

SOLD APPLES At RIGHT time
Vermont Growers Got the Bet
ter of the Bargain.
scarcity Of Sugar Materially Le"Sen'
the Demand for the Fruit In the
Markets Of the Big Cities.

That the Vermont farmers VINO SOU
their apples last fall got the better OF tne .
bargain is the opinion Of those VINO pougnt
| apples throughout the State, the chiet
reason why the large apple packers are
sick of their deal being the scarcity Oh
sugar.
The sugar plantations of the South ana
the apple orchards Of New England are
far removed but when the two products
get into the big markets each exerts a
marked influence on the demand Tor the
other. The scarcity of sugar mas 80
lessened the demand for apples that IN
the past two weeks the price OF some
grades has fallen Off 81 per barrel, and all
of the packers are selling apples for at
least so cents per barrel less than they
did before that time.
II. N. Rowley has returned from New
York and closed his seasons work for
Il. p. LOOMS & Co.. one Of the largest
concerns in the business. The firm this
year bought about $4,000 barrels In Ver-
mont. This is not as large quantity as
usual, and in some years they have
bought as many as $1,000 barrels. The
price paid varied between $3.50 and "a per
barrel. The concern usually handles about
10000 barrels so that a loss of 81 or Sc
| cents per barrel is considerable item In
the years income.
The demand for the apples was good
during the early part Of the fall and the
packers were selling at least the normal
amount at a profit based on what was
paid for the fruit Then came the scarcity
of sugar and the market wen. to smash.
| Where the sugar comes in principally
Is In making apple pies. There are thou
sands and thousands of apple pies con-
sumed daily in New York and one Gus
toner who was getting so barrels of apples
per day from the Loomis people suddenly
stopped the manufacture of pies. Scores
Of other pie manufacturers did the same
thing and the delivery wagons were sud-
denly idle. Even the grocery trade fell
off remarkably. for baked apples are a
favorte dish in the cities and they take
sugar. Apple. sauce also disappeared from
the hotel menus and the apple market was
stagnant
With hundreds of thousands of dollars
tied up in apples it is necessary to keep
on getting rid of the goods. If possible, and
the consequence was the lowering of
prices. Relief In the sugar season is
promised in the cities the first of the
year and If this takes place of course the
apple packers will come through after a
fashion. By that time. however. the boxed
apples of the West will be on the market
and there will be keen compel ition, for
those apples. which We're formerly ex-
| ported. will now be used for domestic con-
sumption. as there is no foreign market.
Whatever happens, the packers cannot
make up for the thousands Of dollars lost
on account OF the scarcity of sugar.

THE VERMONT "HIRED MAN.

(By Daniel l.. Cady)
The hired man we knew of yore
Deserves to come to life once more;

And show. IL not his knightly grace.

A dozen hired men a day:
I've seen him hunted up and hired,
I've seen him fused at, fit and fired;
I've seen him rise to some renown
And get to represent the town;
The STAFFORD Free Will Church began
Through preaching by a hired man.
With him I've wheeled the woodpile ir
And fished where fish was awful thin
! knew his boots, knew his cough,
I've touched the pay that payed him off

And own a bed on which he slept,
The which, now scraped of much japan
Would quite enrich that hired man.
I've also seen him disappear
That time the sheriff's gig drew near.
I've went with dad that very night
Beyond the woods and left light,

But no: he scorned our helpful plan

But most of them was straight and neat
And paid their bills and scraped Their
