George Wesley Jones, Colored Chef, Was
Drowned in LakeChamplain.
Burlington, Aug. 27. A search is be
ing conducted for the body of George
V esley Jones, a colored chef, employed
in rantauqua s inn at Malleus Hay
who was drowned last week by the over
turning of a rowboat. The accident hap
pened between Pickerel and Thompson's
points in ahout 00 feet of water.
Jones, with several other colored em
ployes of the vicinity, had visited a
place on Thompson's point and were
returning in two rowbpats. He, with
another man, occupied one boat and
Jones wished to take the place of the
man who was rowing. lhe latter said
that he was willing to do the work but
Jones insisted and finally got up to move
onto the rower's seat. In doing this he
overturned the boat and both went into
the lake.
They grasped the boat which rolled
over and over, and finally Jones' grip
Weakened and he sank. The other boat
Vas only a short distance away and the
men picicea up me omer occupant out
Jones did not rise to the surface again
so far as could be learned in the dark
ness of the night.
Although an industrious search .has
been made and the lake in the vicinity
of the accident- has been thoroughly
dragged, no signs of the mans body
have been discovered and it is evident
that the only recourse now is to wait
until it rises to the surface, as its re
covery in 60 feet of water is practically
an impossibility. -
Jones home was in Montelair, f. J
where he has a wife and children.

TWO MORE SUSPECTS.
Title of 50-Page Booklet Just Put Out
by Boutwell, Milne & Varnum,
Well-Known Barre Quarry -Owners.
The Boutwell, Milne & Varnum Co.
has just issued a 00-page booklet, settin
forth the merits of Barre granite, and
especially of dark Barre granite, "the
rock of ages," quarried by this firm.
The booklet is printed on the finest of
heavy coated book paper and is more
than half made up of illustrations' the
finest that the photographer and enerav
crs could produce. The book is the most
pretentious effort yet made to set forth
the merits of dark Barre granite as i
monumental stone, and it la something
that will Jielp to increase ine aemanu
for Barre granite wherever it goes, lb
book treats first of memorials in the
abstract and then proceeds to acquaint
the reader with the stone that is in
every way best suited to monumental
purposes "beautiful, never-fading, ever
lasting and element-proof dark Barre
granite." It then describes in detail this
granite and proceeds to show how the
production of Barre granite nas increased
in a few years. It cites .the growth of
Barre from 2.700 in 1880 to 14,928 in
1010, a growth founded largely upon a
single industry; it also gives details ot
the growth ot the business or, the Bout
well, Milne '4 Varnum Co. j - ; ;
In 1800, when the Lsngdon quarry
was managed by Mr. Boutwell, 12 men
and a yoke of oxen were employed, an
a 20 horsepower engine furnish the nec
essarv steam for the drills. The opera
tions of Mr. Milne were about of the
same scale. To-day the Boutwell, Milne
& Varnum Co. have 300 men employed
in their quarries, and 11 modern steam
plsnts'furnish power for steam drills)
two air compressors supply 85 air drills
and in addition to these Sre used three
Temple electric drills with a capacity of
about 60 cubic feet of granite per day
Seven separate and distinct blacksmitn
shops are employed sharpening drills and
handling light repair work. A central
modern' machine shop is operated for the
construction and repairing of large ma
chinery and derricks.
The illustrations are of various monu
nients cut from dark Barre granite and
of quarry scenes, sjiowing the immensity
of the deposits, the clearness of the
granite and the opportunity to secure
stone of any dimension. While this
booklet has been prepared fof the sole
purpose of advertising dark Barre gran
ite and the business of Boutwell. Milne
4 Varnum Co., it cannot but be of bene
fit to the granite business as a whole t4
have so fine a booklet as this circulated
throughout the country.

Voters of the Town of Barre.
A late issue of the "Vermonter" un
der the heading, "Measure Up," calls
upon the Voters of the state to send
men to the next legislature who will
work for a corrupt practice act, to pre
vent the expenditure of large sums of
money to secure offices that should be
the gift of the people that will see
that we get a percentage- of the profits
of every single grant of land for or in
connection with a power site granted
public service companies in this state
and lastly, a man who cannot be man-
pulated and who will be true to the
interests of this state."
Who among the four candidates nom
inated in this town will "measure up"
the nearest to these requirements and
all the other qualifications which our
next representative should have?
ihat we cannot send all four candi
dates is self-evident and we may so
let party feeling, personal pique, envy
or jealousy rule our actions that one
of the largest and most prosperous
towns in the state will have no repre
sentative in the next assembly. Do you
want this to be true?
Think -these things over and come
to town meeting prepared to vote for
the man who is best qualified to be our
next representative.

Vermont Executive Told Vermont Health
Officers Last Evening. .
Burlington, Aug. 27. At the opening
session of the Vermont health officers
School, being held at the high acbool
building, Gov. Mead fast evening epoke
in favor of a national bureau of JeaU"i.
Gov. Mead said: V"-
We are living in an age of conserva
tion. In every walk of life the word
is conservstion. And wny not iook to
the conservation oi life and health, as
well as to conservation of the physical
affairs? Vermont, among the first to
study conservation of resources, can well
be the first U promote conservstion of
our people. The value of our national
physical affairs is one hundred billions
of dollars. The value of our national
human life is estimated at five times
that figure. Yet every year there are
3,000.0(0 persons unnecessarily ill, and
1.500,000 needless deaths.
"Year by year your great work as
health officers Is coming to be more ap
preciated. We are coming to realization
of the fact that everything depends on
the health of the community. Dr. Wiley
says, 'what benefit is it to a man to
accumulate a million dollars and lose
his health in the effort!' In "the face
of these facts, isn't there some one to
advance the study vou are pursuing by
forming a bureau of health at Washing
ton, a national center of public health!"
Other speakers were President Thomus
of Middlebury college and Dr. C. S. Cav
erly, president of the state board of
health. Dr. Caverly read a report from
Dr. F. T. Kidder of Woodstock, a mem
ber of the state board of health, who
was unahle to be present in person
During the past year, there have been
from 500 to WWi cases of smallpox, ow
ing to the difficulty of detecting tlie
disease in its mild form, resembl'mir
chickenpox. The health department, said
Dr. Kidder, has been freed from political
influence in the selection of local town
health officera.
Sanitation of school houses in the
country and in small villages without
public water supply or sewers, he eon-
tinned, should be improved In many
cases. The danger of typhoid comes
largely from the location of closets, cess
pools and barnyards near or higher than
the wella and springs. There were more
deaths in America In liwili from typhoid
than from bubonic plague in India.
which has twice our population, and in
1910 there were more deaths from this
cause than from cholera in all of Rus-
k. .
lh Caverly in oneninir the session
outlined the history of the acbool of In
struction in Vermont, the first state to
hold one, which was established by law
in 1900. This school, with the state
laboratory of hygiene, said he, are the
two great factors in the improved sani
tation of the state and the lowered
death rate, and it is Important that
every community be represented.
