FUR PRICES LOWER
Hunting and Trapping Industry Likely
to Suffer in Conseuuence

One line Of endeavor, which will suffer
as keenly as any this year because of the
downward trend of prices, is the hunting
and trapping industry, which grew to un-
heard of proportion In Vermont last year
and allowed a rich harvest for the men
and boys who knew the ways of the
woods. Last year furs In tho fall sold
for prices. In most cases. three times
their former figure. and in the case of
muskrats the figure received was often
20 times the price paid in former years
The woods and marshes hold out no such
promises this year and ii is doubtful if
many hunters are successful in getting
much of an income. Last year many
as s25 in trapping stunks and muskrats
The prices have not yet been made up
for this year. but there is no doubt but
that the figure will be far below that of
last year and it is doubtful If II will COM
pare favorably with those of many years
in the past The bottom has dropped out
of the raw fur market and the effect of
the depression in London. st. Louis and
other fur trading centers win be felt
in the backwoods of Vermont There
was a grave danger OF the extinction
of some Of the game when prices were
high. The slaughter on mustrats, in
particular. was enormous 1t is thought
that when the trapping grows less profit
able the number engaging in the business
will be much smaller and the animals
will have a chance to get back to their
former numbers

Many Books ard Much Money
In the death Of Gen. Rush c. Hawkins
Of New York, who was struck by an
automobile Sunday on Fifth avenue, the

books and pamphlets. and until quite
recently has been adding to the collec-
ton. This collection. which now con-
sists of over 5000 volumes. is kept in a
separate room in the gallery Of the Bill
lings library. II is supposed to be one
Of the most valuable and complete col
lections of Civil War literature In any
college in the country, Princeton's col
lection being the only one to eclipse 1t.
II was General Hawkins idea that ut
some time in the future some one would
write a complete exhaustive history of
the Civil War and these books would
provide adequate references for work
of such magnitude.

Pomfret. September IA, lSl mao
