of the two senatorships to which Wind

Iature.
politics, which may be depended upon to
yield a variety of developments at about
this time, Mr.. Dunham s announcement
is of much Importance, as he is one of
the best known men in the county, not
to mention the state, and is sure to have
wide support.
When Mr.. Dunham was candidate for
the office of town representative in 1918
he stated in substance that if elected he
would devote his whole time to the work
of the legislature, except when unayoid-
ably prevented, and he authorizes simi-
lar statement with reference TO his pres
ent candidacy, but those who know him
and have followed his legislative activi-
ties do not need to be given any personal
assurance in that respect.
| 1t is interesting to note that during
both sessions of the legislature of which
he was a member Mr.. Dunham, according
| to the legislative journal, answered every
roll call except one, when he was ex-
eused to attend meeting of the budget
committee.
Mr.. Dunham, who is head of the large
wholesale and retail boot and shoe house
of Dunham Brothers Co., was one of the
strong members, one of the balance
wheels, in the last two sessions of the
legislature, especially in that of 1919. In
the last session he was chairman of the
ways and means committee, ranking
member and clerk of the committee on
suffrage and elections, a member of the
budget committee. member of the COM
mittee to expedite business, and a men,
Der of the committee on adjournment.
He also was chairman of the Windham
lcounty delegation. He introduced but
three bills, as it was his desire, both by
lprecept and example, to shorten the ses-
lsion as much as possible. All three of
these bills were of special Importance
land were enacted into laws.
i In the previous session he was equally
deficient and conscientious, leaving moth
ing undone that he could do for the bene-
fit of the public. He was chairman of
the committee on public buildings and
the ranking member of the ways and
; means committee and the committee on
conservation. Ten bills were introduced
by Mr.. Dunham at that session, all of
which became laws.
Mr. Dunham was for two years presi-
dent of the New England Shoe Whole
; salers' association, and for several years
was member of the executive commit
, tee of the National Shoe Wholesalers
association. He has been president.
, since its organization, of the Brattle-
boro Memorial hospital, is director of
the Peoples National bank, a corporator
, of the Vermont Savings bank, director
: of the S. A. Smith Mfg. Co., a member
of the Centre Congregational church,
; Wantastiquet lodge of Odd Fellows,
Columbian lodge of Masons and the Yer
mont Wheel club. He also is member
of the Brattleboro Chamber of Commerce
and served as president of the organiza-
tion two terms, declining to serve when
elected for the third time, and he has
been vice president and member of the
board of governors of the Brattlebore
Country club since its organization. In
1917 he was appointed chairman of the

that the first recorded victims are three

Earl w. Williams, proprietor of the
Bennington garage, States Attorney

foundation but there is strong suspi-

PARIS, June 29.-German delegates
at the Spa conference will not insist
upon the maintenance of an army of
100000 men, according to Paris news

meeting, therefore, would thus be a
mere formality. the newspaper says.

WONDER WHAT THIS
 FELLOW STOLE IN THE
 COUNTRY HE LIES ABOUT?

How do you like this, taken from a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune, and mailed to a genetleman here in Flagstaff:
 "Why argue further? Of course the worst road in the world is the rocky one between Flagstaff and Winslow, Ariz. We were coming down from the Grand Canyon some time ago and struck the rock-pile in the forenoon. When we completed it's forty-five miles of boulders and ruts it was late at night. During the time we passed just one man, a herder, who was talking to his sheep-I SUD- pose his mind was wandering after travelling that road afoot-one auto mobile and just two trees. If they haven't fixed that part of the Santa Fe trail yet I will gladly donate the Tribune dollar to the cause.-J. c. C."
 The above lie is one of the kind that is often spread by impecunious jitney tourists travelling in some sort of rattle-trap that would be unsafe to try to go around a block in. There are lots of that kind of tourists, though, of course, they do not pre- dominate.
 This fellows yarn is discredited by his assertion that in more than half day he passed only one shepherd CT and one auto. Any person knows that one cannot spend halliday on the road between Flagstaff and Wins low when the weather is anywher near low when the weatheris anywhere near from forty to hundred cars.
 Another thing: While the road be- tween Flagstaff and Winslow, part of it, is not good, at the same time it is a hundred per cent better in wet weather than 75 per cent of the main country road in Illinois, Iowa or In- diana.

WOOL MARKET DECLINES

Sales of wool in the Boston market continue small, with prices showing further declines for both fleeces and territories. Melbourne opened about as expected, offerings selling rather better than at either Sydney or Ade- laide, but giving no encouragement to holders of domestic wool in this coun- try. Agitation is under way to keep out the surplus wools from Australia and England. A somewhat more op- timistic feeling is said to prevail in wool circles, but it has little founda- tion to date. Most of the buying con- tinues to be done by carpet mills, though it is said that some of the woolen mills have been attracted by the low prices prevailing and have tried to anticipate their needs in low wools for the coming heavyweight season. A movement to reduce wages is in progress among New England textile mills, and already cuts of 15 per cent have been accepted by opera tives in several mills in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.-Bradstreets Re- porter

 You have to leave it to bunch of country editors to be "worked" by such outfits as the fair association, railroads and other big corporations who look to the country press to print their junk, while they come through with the coin of the realm to the city papers.

WILL KEEP MAIN STATE ROADS
 CLEAR OF SNOW THIS WINTER

For two or three months each win ter the northern state highways have been made impossible, or nearly so, by drifted snow, and the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in them bring no return to the taxpayers dur ing the time the roads can not be used. With view to remedying this condition, the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture has been making this sum- mer study, of the situation with re- gard to snow removal in the states east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac. An engineer of the bu- reau has conferred with the highway commissioners in the state in this ter ritory, and reports that definite plans have been made in New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Michigan, Indiana and Illi- nois which will result in the main trunk lines being kept open all win ter. In some other states, notably in Ohio, snow removal is the duty of the counties, and while the state high way department is prepared to assist the counties in every way and is urg- ing the necessity of the work, it is not empowered to initiate the work.
 In some of the states snow fences will be placed for the winter 50 feet from the highway, to stop the snow before it reaches the road. These fences" which are made of slats, are tipped backward until they form decided angle and then are braced like billboards. In the spring the sec tions are unbolted from the stakes and stored by the state highway commits sioner until winter. This type of fence has been used by many railroads in the past during the months of snow, and has proved very effective as a snow guard to the roadbed.
 In other localities snow blows, eith- CT horse or motor drawn, will keep the state highway clear. One of the most efficient type of highway snow blow has broad blade, which removes the snow, attached to the front of a mo- tor truck. A second truck chained to the first pulls while the first pushes the blade, '.'F+
