MUSKRATS SELLING
At TOP NOTCH PRICES
Skins for Which Boys Got Is
Cents Years Ago Now Bring
S4.5O-Rendering c o m p a n y
Disposes of Nearly 100000
Worth of Furs

The Burlington Rendering company
staged another fur sale the latter part
of the week, when between $4,000 and
$4,000 worth of furs were sold to New
York and Boston buyers. This sale
eclipsed all others when the humbie
muskrat, which boys sold few years
ago for 10 and 16 cents, was bought IN
a large lot OF II, 600 for $3.50 fiat, poor and
good alike. Such price was never be-
fore heard of in this section. Other furs,
with the exception of skunk, sold for far
more than their former value, but there
was no such increase as in muskrats.
At this season the furs are naturally
higher priced because of the excellent
condition of the fur, and the buyers
went after the rats at the drop or the
hat, for they are in tremendous demand
and this is the last shot anyone can get
at them until spring, for they Will be
frozen in until that time. The rats were
The most important feature of the sale
and brought in about one-half of the
receipts. The phenomenal increase is
shown by the fact that the rats only
brought s2,75 at the first sale in Novem-
Der and last year brought around $3.50.
The immense profit in killing the rats
has caused an undoubted decrease in the
supply. which probably will bring along
some protecting laws with the next meet
ing of the Legislature.
Mink also showed an increase in value
and brought about SIT for the best.
There were between 300 and 400 of these.
and they were graded down to far less
than the top price. Fox skins also were
higher and Reynard's remains sold for S23
when they were in good condition. Skunk
showed no increase and held It's old posi-
ton precariously. There were about
1000 of these which sold for 500. when
demand and sold for around $14 at the
top, with some of them bringing less
There were a few bear which brought
S1S a piece. Little ermine were sold
readily for $500 and there were a few
hundred of these.
In the opinion of the fur men the tor
price has been reached on all of these
is that it is the cleanup of the mid
winter sale and the furs now are harder
to get. The Rendering company will not
have another sale until spring. At this
time the rats and other animals will be
more plentiful. This makes more thar
, 100000 worth Of furs that the Rendering
company has sold so far this season. The
increased value brings the amount Of
| money to far greater figure than las
year, but the amount of furs also is
somewhat larger. The furs We're all pro
cured in Vermont and northern New
York.

YEAR FOR BRASSARD
Contamination OF Attrmn; to Bring 300
Quarts of Whiske, from Canada

That severe penalties will be dealt out
in the cases of persons illegally bringing
liquor into the United States in this dis
trict was indicated Friday by Judge
H. b. Howe in United States court, when
he sentenced Joseph Brassard of Rouses
Point to spend year and a day in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta. Ga. Bras
sard pleaded guilty in the hope that he
would escape Jail sentence but the court
made it plain that the law prohibiting the
importation of liquor would be strictly
enforced within his province and that men
engaged in this business who We're found
guilty by him. could expect similar treat
mcnt He said that he knew the sentence
was severe but he was doing it partly as
a warning.
| Brassard was arrested with another
man at the South Hero bridge. Between
them they had 300 quarts of whiskey. An
indictment was procured before the grand
! jury at Rutland. He has ample money
with which to pay fine and operates a
garage at Rouses Point. Attorney John
Judge of Plattsburgh appeared for the
respondent and argued for a fine in lieu
of prison
Judge Howe took into consideration the
! facts that Brassard was undoubtedly en-
gagged in the business of bringing in
enormous profits if he hr! been success
full. The public must be warned that the
national prohibition laws are on the
statutes to be enforced and Judge Howe
took the occasion of the first case which
! was presented to him since national pro-
hibition has been in force.
| District Attorney Billiard has already
issued the statement from his office to
! the effect that any violations of the
liquor laws would be severely prosecuted,
and the United states officers have all
acted in accord with the plan to make
Vermont hazardous place for men en-
gagged In this business.
There are now awaiting trial several
cases against liquor importers, and 1t is
believed that several of the bills which
the grand jury found Thursday were in
dictments of these men. 1t is also true
that there has been going on along the
border a big business by automobile and
other means. This is shown by the big
hauls which have been made when the
officers were successful
The liquor importing business does not
seem to attract the local men entirely but
men from the larger cities are suspected
of being connected with the Illegal traffic
in one way or another. The men who
take the long chances are not the ones
who reap the big profits but seem to be
connected in some manner with men who
have plenty Of means at their disposal
They can easily stand the loss Of an auto
mobile in case the federal officers make
the chase too hot for them. For this rea-
son Fords are mostly used as they are
less expensive.
Saturday morning, Fred Nadeau OF
Berlin, ~ H., pleaded guilty to bringing
in liquor and was sentenced to pay a fine
1 of $500. This he has made arrangements
to do. Nadeau was arrested som time age
on the east side of the State. when he
had in the automobile with him more thar
100 half pnts of gin. in addition to large
amount of other liquors.
