Lumbermen from Canada
Brought Into State

Inc local immigration office was a
busy place Friday evening, when upon
the arrival of the 7:45 mixed train
from Sherbrooke, a small army of
husky young men were marshaIled to
the station for examination.
These men, n IN number, were lum-
Der jacks brought from Prince Ed
ward Islands and Cape Breton and
were on their way to Beebe River, n.
H., to work for the Woodstock Lum-
Der Co. Permission had been grant
ed the Woodstock Lumber Co. to bring
into the United States 600 of these
workmen to supply their mills with
labor, this being the first shipment.
While the Government has waived
the labor contract, the men must
answer all other requirements, pass
examination as to being able to read
and write, and pay the head tax of
$500.
a representative of the company
was In charge of the men and paid
the head tax, which amounted to S616.
Bringing these laborers from that
section mcQrs a very heavy expense.
It was learned that over $1,000 had
been spent upon their arrival at New
port.
The local officers were very busy
during the time the men were here,
which was about three hours, and the
immigration quarters were packed to
the limit. They left for their des-
tination on the Montreal air line at
11:45.

STORY OF CAMP VAIL, EASTERN
STATES EXPOSITION, SPRING
FIELD MASSACHUSETTS
What / Saw and Learned at the Boys
and Girls Exposition

Elva Lodge, Newport, Vermont
As we reached Camp Vail in the
evening we did not see much of Camp
Vail or its surroundings on arrival.
When we lined up for mess next
morning we were greatly surprised to
see between four and five hundred
boys and girls.
Each morning it was arranged for
each and every member OF Camp
Vail TO be taken on educational tours.
One morning group OF members
were taken to look over the exn1Dlts
in the horticulture hall, and the next
morning We're taken to look at the
horses, cattle, sheep and swine. We
were shown different exhibits each
morning until each member of Camp
Vail had completed the round of edu-
cational tours.
On the camp grounds there were
four large tents, which were two
sleeping tents, one for the boys and
one for the girls, mess tent. and
tent where the food was prepared
The meals at Camp Vail were high
" appreciated, and the Camp Vail
members, especially the members of
ers," of Newport, Vermont, find It
almost impossible TO express their
thanks in words to Mr.. Carter for
his kindness to u.s.
Some of the buildings on the ex-
position grounds were, the Arena or
Coliseum, in which the Judging teams
from different states judged the cat
tie, the States building in which the
exhibits from the ten Eastern States
were exhibited.
Through the kindness Of the lead
ers of Camp Vail we were given tick
cts to the polo race and the two thou
sand dollar fire-work display, which l
consider was wonderful.
Each evening at Camp Vail we had
camp fire which we all gathered
around and sang songs, heard speech
es, and the announcements of the
prizes awarded to the boys and girls
for their good work
1 learned while at Camp Vail that a
member of any club must be able to
do his or her work quickly, care
fully and thoroughly to be able to
enjoy the pleasant trip and the week
of pleasure at Camp Vail, and wiz
honorable prizes.

DOUBT NEW VOLCANO
Recent Earthquakes Did Not
Form Another Belcher.
Scientists Believe Escaping Gas Was
Mistaken by Observers for
New Crater.

Rome-Scientists say they do no
believe that a new volcano was created
on Mount Pisanino, near Spezla, dur
ing the earthquakes which began Sept
and continued until Sept. 8, causing
the loss of 800 lives. Tongues OF flame
and smoke or dust were seen to be
emitted from what is popularity sup.
posed to have been a new crater
opened near the mountain top.
Frank A. Perrett, the American vol
canologist for the Carnegie institution,
who occupies station at Mount Vesu-
vius TO observe its operations, has ex-
pressed to the Associated Press the
opinion that no new volcano has been
formed, but thar the earthquakes
caused displacements of subterranean
strata, causing a fissure in the earth's
crust, and that gas escaping therefrom
was mistaken by onlookers as the op-
ening of new crater.
The phenomenon was not new one.
Mr.. Perrett said the seismical instru-
ments showed a towering of the earth
level in the earthquake district previ-
Gus to the tremors. This has been OBJ
served on other occasions when earth
quakes occurred.
This view is shared by Senator
Caplellini, a leading geologist, who
has been interviewed by the Messagero
and who says there may have been an
eruption of gas through a fissure on
Mount Pisanino, and the supposed
column of smoke above the mountain
may have been caused by clouds of
dust from falling earth.
The tongues of flame, in Senator
Caplelini's opinion, may possibly have
been infammable gas from under
ground wells OF oil. He said, however,
that volcanoes -dn appear independ-
emily of the structure of the earth's
crust, and that the greatest catastro-
phes have occurred from the appear
ance of volcanoes where nobody ex-
pected them.
For example, the geologist continued,
Mount Etna rises out of post-piocene
strata, while the volcanoes of the
Andes mountains in South America
arise from granite rocks. Therefore,
the nature of the Apuansmountains did
not exclude the possibility of a vol
cano appearing on Mount Pisanino.

BOYS ADMIT WRECKING TRAIN
Two Men Near Meriden,
Connecticut.

Hartford, Conn.-Thomas and John
Rychele, eight and six years old, con-
fessed that they were responsible for
wrecking the New York to Boston ex-
press near Meriden, killing Engineer
George f. Bill of Hartford, and Fire
man William D. Cotter of Springfield
and injrring score of passengers, in
Guiding several New Workers.
Capt. James Carroll and his squad
of railroad detectives recently learned
that the two boys were posing as he
roes before their playmates and boast
ing that they had placed stones on the
rails and then had been eyewitnesses
of the wreck.
After severe questioning the boys
told the railroad detectives how they
had placed stones on the rails, expect
ing they would be crushed by the train,
but not believing they would cause a
wreck.
