Senator Villas INDICATED.

Senator Villas takes the Professions
al Knocker TO task for commenting
on an item which stated that the Bur
lington Windiammer 1.-THE term is not
ours) talked so long at a recent
meeting in Swanton that the band did
not have time to play In letter
to his home paper, the Clipper, the
Senator says:
POSSIBLY, it may be worth my
while to state, first that never
spoke in Swanton in my life and sec
ond. that | never spoke Nearly two
hours on any subject anywhere,
e Without any additions or explana-
lions, such terse and unanswerable
correction would deserve to be con-
sidered classic, but the Senator
must needs explain that undoubtedly
the reference was confused with an
affair in Enosburg Falls, which sad
event he describes as follows.
Il spoke on the public park in Enos
burg Falls in the evening upon the
League of Nations under request OF
tho local board of trade or organiza-
ton of similar nature that | speak
there instead of in the hall where 1t
had been arranged. AT the close OF
the speaking, two ministers, who dis
agreed with my views, asked me from
the audience a number of questions
upon the subject and made state
ments of their own This discussion
occupied approximately half hour
and prolonged the entire program to
Nearly two hours During these
questions and answers a number of
the audience, most of whom were
standing, left"
AS an explanation this is one OF
the most mournful things we have
seen in print for some time. 1t does
not deny that there was band, as
the Clipper notes in rebuttal. 1t does
not deny the fact that the windjam-
ming stopped the band. It admits the
two hours of oratory. The one miti-
eating circumstance in the Senator's
favor is that two ministers were par

WONDERFUL ESSEX RECORD
Performance Excels Ability
LARGE and Costly Cars.

Large and Costly Cars.
The Essex car locked in high gear
with shifting lever removed, now be-
ing publicly operated under official
observation, has already made rec
ord for consistent and economical
performance under the most severe
conditions that none but those most
intimate with Essex cars believed
possible.
The extreme amount of confidence
placed in this wonderful car by Mr.
Williams of The Bennington Garage
in starting such a test has been JUS
tilted. To undertake feats OF hill
climbing that the most powerful cars
in the world with monster engines
would hesitate to try, with a car hay-
ing motor that can be registered at
eighteen horse power when those
feats are accomplished, is clear proof
of wonderful advance in motor de-
sign.
This car has been running from
eighteen miles to twenty-one miles on
a gallon of gasoline under conditions
far from most favorable to gasoline
economy. 1t has now run three hun.
dred miles without the addition OF
oil and but perceptable receding of
the oil indicator on the oil reservoir.
There has yet been no water added to
the original supply in the radiator and
the work done would have required
many filings of the radiator in cars
with less efficient cooling system
The same strong rugged balanced
crank case, the long connecting rods
that go to eliminate vibration in this
motor and help its development of
power also go to make it the longest
lived motor of its type ever develop
ed. These are some of the reaosns
why the motor runs as smoothly at
fifty miles per hour as at twenty and
why the motors in cars having run
eight or ten thousand miles in custo-
mer's hands run as smoothly or more
so than the new ones.
The Essex is a fast car but note
from the observers comments on the
performance of The High Gear Essex
that the same power that gives it
speed enables it to climb hills that
other cars can only make on high by
rushing them at speeds below fifteen
miles per hour. Note report by Mr..
w. A. Gilbert of Brattleboro on the
climb up the widely known Shelhurn
Mountain More. than a normal road
speed of twenty to twenty-five miles
per hour was not required for the car
TO make the mountain climb Adv.

Clearly Senator Villas has establish
ed defence. He did not speak for
two hours; he merely spoke for one
hour and 80 minutes. The remainder
of the time was devoted to talking
down the two reverend hecklers who
disagreed with him. Singular thing,
is it not, that the average minister
can no more sit still and listen to the
other chaps argument than an edi-
tor can without mental agony let a
contemporary get away with any
thing"
We move that the complaint
against Senator Villas be withdrawn
and that the plaintiff be given per-
mission to file an amended document,
setting up-say one hour and forty
nine minutes as the duration of the
crime and making the two ministers
co-defendants.- Rutland Herald.

Peterspence or Peters pence was the

value was 30 pence. In England this

Coal is decidedly improved by a
repose of many years under sea, for
marine salts enter it's porous exterior

for both domestic and industrial
uses.
Pig iron has been salvaged after a
stay of 100 years in the farthest
depths. Rails are brought up in good
condition also. Copper bars, brass
and all sorts of machinery are recov-
cred in good condition, for although
every metal has different life, the
sediment in the water forms coating
over the materials and preserves
them. If copper and steel are near
each other in a cargo, the copper will
eat the steel and destroy it. so strong

Missoula, Mont.-WOrd has been re-.

only the wind can prevent that town
being swept by forest fires. The town
was saved Thursday only by a sudden
change of wind. st. Regis has several
hundred inhabitants.
Stark, village in the hills in this
county, also was threatened with de-
struction by fire.
Congress was asked Wednesday by
Secretary Lane for a special appropri-
alton of 100000 for fight forest fires
in Montana, Idaho and Washington.
Latest reports from Idaho, he said,
declare the fires ''cannot be extin-
guished save by heavy rain, of which
there is no immediate prospect"
To meet the emergency, the secre-
tary was authorized the use Of $4,000
appropriated for the land office field
service, but not intended for forest fire

buildings of the James Carey. near Nc

fire, which jumped the control lines
in one place. New lines were being
established.
The Mission creek fire, which re-

was within mile of the boundary,
but had not crossed to the American
side, it was stated.
The Round Top and the Boulder
creek fires in the Kaniksu forest we're
still growing, and the Blue Lake fire,
In the same reserve, was burning in
good timber. Other fires in that yicin-
ity were quiet Friday. A new fire was
burning over twenty-five acres west of
Priest lake.
In the Occur d'Alene forest, the Bear
creek fire was burning over 1900 to
13OO acres Friday and was being
fought by 1875 men, with fifty more be-
ing sent to help them. 1t broke con-
troll Friday and burned over 200 acres
additional since then. Because it is so
nigh in the hills it is not doing much

The report. dated November 1, 1918,

"The plain truth is" the report said,
that there is nothing about the case
to produce feeling of confidence that

'There is nowhere anything resem-

patchwork Of homogeneous makeshift

TWO ARE MURDERED

ing velopment.-TroubIe Over
Property Possible Cause.

Ogden, Utah.-The charred bodies OF
John. Henry Winslow, Jr., and his
brother, Ruben Winslow, were found
in the smOuldering ruins of the cabin
on the Winslow ranch in the Jackson
Hole country, Wyoming, by ranchers
returning July from an Independence
Day celebration, according to word re-
ceived in Ogden Friday. Sheriff Oak
ley of kemmerer was called, and an
examination of the bodies disclosed
bullet holes in the backs and breasts
William Sewell, a neighbOring rancher,
who is said to have made deadly
threats to the WinslOw brothers, was
arrested and is confined in the KEN
merer prison, awaiting investigation.
The bodies of the victims were remOv-
ed to Wilson, where an inquest was
held. The murdered men were the
sons of the late John Henry WinslOw,
ST., Of Ogden canyon.
The Winsl0w brothers were last seen
alive on July by friends going to the
Fourth of July celebration. When
found on the morning of the fifth the
bodies were so completely burned that
recognition was impossible, and identi-
ficatiOn was effected only because in
the trousers pockets that were next to
the ground, and thus escaped burning.
were found articles known to have
been carried by the murdered men.
Bullet holes in the backs and breasts
gave evidence that the victims were
attacked from behind. 1t is presumed
by those who made the investigation
that the men were shot down without
warning, their bodies dragged into the
cabin and the building set fire. The
murderer evidently chose July for
the crime, as on that date most of the
ranchers were in town celebrating.
The fact that the Winslow brothers
had made filings upon the most desir-
able land in that section of the coun-
try. and had not yet proved up on it,
is suggested as motive for the crime.
