FRIDAY, DECEMBEH C, 1001.
Addison county sheep nien wlll learn
wlth Interest that nfter Jan. 1 a special
pcrmlt wlll bo requlred ln order to land
ln Capc Colony.
Cltlzens of South Amcrlca must learn
wlth a shock of surprlse that "the Inter-
lor of Colombla is almost entirely quiet.'i
That lsn't Colonibla's norraal condltlon
by several degrces.
Conslderable cxeltenient was created
ln Chicago last wetk by the appearance
of a strange light ln the sky. The cx
eltement was probably due to the phe
nomena of scelng anything through
Cblcago smokc.
As lf gold, silver and hlgh grade mar
ble was not sufllcicntly attractlve, Alaska
now announecs that shc can also furnlsh
petrolcum, the Important dUcovery hav
lng been made in the Cook inlet reglon.
Vermont may not have the coal oll, but
she ls developing a goldmlne at Middle
sex and can beat Alaska to a standstill on
marblc.
Owing to the press of advertislng and
the publishlng of the president's mes
sage, the Uegisti'.u has been obliged to
oniit the weekly lnstallment of the llome
Circle. We wlll next week complete
D. r. Thompson's chapter on "Early
Settlers of Middlebury," and tbis wlll be
followed wlth a second very Interestlng
sclectlon from another of Mr. Thomp
son's novels.
The South Carolina hiterstate and
West Indian exposition op"iied oh Jlon
day last at Charleston, S. C. Thls ex
position has not been so widely adver
tlsed as the Iluflilo or St. I.ouis falrs,
but it is, ncvcrtlielcss, reported to be a
hlghly creditable cxlilbition of Southern
lndustries. Considerlng thac it reeeivcd
no governtnent aicl, it ls entltled to the
applause due to evidenee of independenee
and energy in the Southern people.
The supreine eourt seems to have set
at rest tlie tiieory of a large nuiubcr of
politieians, who, having suceessfully
dclled the Constitution in ncqulring the
I'hilipplne lslands, supposed tliey could
phiy fast aud loose witli the new possess
ions ln the matter of taxlng imporU
therefrom In the nianner prescrlbed for
"forelgn" territory. Juggling wlth the
statutes of a eountry is a natural cor
oliary to dellanco ot the fuudamental
laws.
The threHteued destructlon of large
areas of forest in Vermont makes the
reference of President Uoosevelt ln his
message to forcst pref crvatlon of pecullar
interest to Vermontcrs. The plan pro
posed would not be operatiye in thls
state, but the suggestlou is valuable
because it calls attcution to tlie necessity
for taking some action in tho prcmlses.
We prlnt elsewhere on thls page the full
text of the 1'resldent'e reference to the
subject.
The record of dcaths by rallway
accldent ln the Unlted States, as glven in
a government report, ls sufllclently ap
palllng to justlfy the demand that at
tcntlon be glven to life-savlng appllanccs.
It ls not sufllclent to polnt out that more
people proportlonally areklllcd In various
other ways, or that the chance of being
struck by llghtnlng ls greater than that
of being kllled whlle traveling on the
stcam cars. The point is that there are
means of avoldlng much of the de
structlon of llfe on railways, and that
only tho parslmony of the rallway cor-
poratlons stands in the way of thelr
adoptlon.
Tlie l'renldent on I'ureiit (rviitlin.
l'roa. Hoosovolt'a Mi'asago to UongrcH
I'ubllo oplnlon tlirough the Unlted
States has moved steadlly toward a ust
approclatlon of tho value of forests,
whether planted or of natural growth.
Tho great part played by them ln the
creatlon and inalntenaiice of liu national
wealtli is now more fully reallzed than
ever before.
Wise forcst protection does not mean
tho wlthdrawal of tho forest rcsourccs,
whether of wood, water or grass, from
contrlbuting thclr full share to tho wel
fare of the people, but, on tho contrary,
glves the assurance pf larger aud moro
ccrtaln supplles. Tho fuudamental idea
of foreBtry ls the perpetuatlon ot forests
by use. Forcst protectlon Is not an end
ofitself; it ls a means to lncreaso and
Bustaln tho rcsourccs of our eountry and
ttic lndustries wuicn uepenu upon tncm.
Tho presorvatlon of our forests is an
lmperativo business nccessuy. vtro havo
como to sce clcarly that whatevcr de-
stroys the forcst execpt to mako way for
agrlculturo threatens our well being.
The practical usefulness ot the na'
tlonal forcst rcscrves to tho mlnlng,
grazing, irrlgatiou and othcr Interests of
tho rcglons in whlch the rcserves lle has
led to a wldcspead demand by tho
peoplo of tho West for thclr protcc
tlon and extenslon. Tho forcst rcBcrvcs
wlll Inevltably be of stlll greater uso In
the future than In the past. Additlons
should be made to thcm whenever prac
tlcable, and thelr usefulness should be
Incrcased by a thoroughly buslncssllko
management.
At prcsent tho protectlon of the forest
rcscrves resta wlth tho gencral land
ofllce, the mapplng and (Uscrlptlon of
their tlmber wlth the Unitcd States
geologleal survey and tho preparations
of plans for thelr conservative uso wlth
the burcau of forestry, whlch Is also
charged with tho general advanccraent
of practical forestry In the Unlted
States. These various functions should
be unlted In the burcau of forestry, to
whlch they properly belong. The prcs
ent diflusion of responslblllty is bad
from every standpolnt. It prevents
that eflcctivc co-operatlon bctween the
governmcnt and the nien who utllize the
resourecs of the rcscrves without whlch
the Interests of both must sufler. Tho
sclentinc burcaus gcnerally should be
put under the departmcnt of agriculture.
The presidunt should liave by law the
powcr of transferring lands for use as
forest rcscrves to the department of
agriculture. He already has such powcr
in tho ease of lands nccucd by the ue
partments of war and the navy.

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
(Contlnuod from llrst pago.)
Z -
-y
pctlt iurors were excused untll 0 o'clock
'next mornlng. The casc of Aliue I.
Twltchell y. M. S. Carr was taken up
and a Judgmcnt glven for tho plalntlfi by
dcfault. It had been cxpcctcd that the
case of Wm. Arthur Marcelle by his next
frlend y. Hutland Ilatlroad Co. would be
the flrst one on trlal, but after negotla
tions betwcen the counsel tho case was
settled and taken out of court, the plaln-
tiffbcing glyen 8o00 and all his costs, in-
cluding counsel fccs. Tho basls of thls
case was the Iniury of young Marcelle In
the frclght yard ln Middlebury last Jan
uary. He was a new brakcman nnd
owing to not havlng been properly ln-
structcd in the worklngs of tho new au
tomatlc brakes got the llrst flnger ot his
rlght hand and half of the second tlnger
cut ofl, white the thumb was badly
crushed. Judge W. II. ltllss of Middle
bury and Butler & Moloncy of Hutland
wero Marcelle's counecl, and F. II. But
ton of Hutland appcarcd in belmlf of the
rallroad company.
As no case was ready to be brought on
the court at 3:13 o'clock took a recess
untll 9 o'clock Wednesday mornlng.
The absenco from court on the flrst
day of two Middlebury attorneys who
have died slnce the Juno term was gen-
erally notcd, they being Ilon. L. D. El
dredge and Jamcs E. Stapleton.
The llrst trial of the term was got un
der way W cdnesday forelioon at 10
o'clock. It wa3 tho bastardy case of
Anna May Kimberley v. Chauncey
Ackcrman, the town of Orwell bringlug
the case through Oversecr of the I'oor
II. D. Branch. Tlie platntlfl, Mlss Klm
berley, told her story on the stand
Judge Brnneh of Orwell also tcstlficd for
the plalntiff. The defensc conslsted In a
flat denlal of the uiaiD charge and an
cflbrt to show that some one else was re
sponsiblc. Slrs. Bazie, Ackerman's sls
ter, Charles Feuton of Clcns Falls, and
the defpndant himself were put on the
stand for the defense. One Lyman
Chandler was called but did not respond,
and in resting its case the defense re
served the rlght to call Chandler next
day if he made his appearance. The
plalntlfi was called agaln In rebuttal,
but before sho had goue far wlth her
story the court at o o'clock took a recess
to 0 o'clock Thursday mornlng. Miss
Kimberley did go far ennugli, however,
to dcny point blank tho truth of about
all the important polnts brought out for
the defense. The case had taken up the
entirc day unlnterruptedly, with the
prospect that lt would occupy at least
half a day tnore. The counsel were F. h.
Fish of Vergennes for the plalntiff and
Judge Bllss of Middlebury, assisted by
Frank II. Thomas of Middlebury, for
Ackerman, and there was some pretty
strenuous work on each side in the course
of tlie day. The character of the testi
mony was for the most part such as to
make it unprlntable ln a famlly paper
llke the Ukgistek.
Work was resumed Thursday mornlng
promptly at 0 o'clock, wlth Mls3 Kim
berley agaln on the stand in rebuttal.
She agaln denied the truth of Fenton's
testimony and was excued wlthin a
couple of mlnute3. Then Mrs. Bazie was
recalled. In response to two or three
queitlons she contradictcd the prevlous
wltnpss emphatically on cssential points.
The defense aeain wanted Lyman Chand
ler and statcd that ho was expected on
the S:.')G train from tlie south, wlilcli was
reported to be half an hour lHte. Judge
Watsnu, however, said that tlie wltiie!s
wanted was already 21 hours late, nnd
as there was no eood reason to suppose
that ho would be here on that train ho
did not thlnk he would be justilled in
liolding the case open on the strength of
tho posslbility that Chandler mlght cuuie
on tlie train; and the defense then resttd
their case. The argumonts were at once
bcgun and were all very.brief. Mr. Fish
opened for the young woman plalutlll
and wa3 followed for the defense by
Frank V. Thomas. Judge Bllss then
made the closing plea for young Ackcr
man and Mr. l-isli aguln suoke brk'lly
and closed the case. Judge Watson's
charge was clear and short, taking up
only 15 mlnutes, and the jury retired
to conslder thelr verdict at 10:35 o'clock.
They did not como back luto court
before the noon recess and had not
brought ln any verdict as we close our
report.
After a recess of 20 mlnutes another
case was at once taken up and a jury was
spcedlly empannclled. The case was that
of Edson Tart's admlnlstratrlx v. Bristol
Eleetrlc Light Co., George L. Ilasseltino
of Bristol ond Mr. Fish rcpresenting the
plalntlfi and Judge Bllss and W. B. I)un
ton, of Iilcc & Ounton of Hutland, ap
pearlng for the defendaut company
Thls case Is brought by the wldow of
Edson Tart to reeover damagcs from
1 tho Eleetrlc Light company for the death
1 of her husband, who was kllled whlle In
thclr cmploy, negligence being alleged on
tho part of the company
The grand jury have been hard at worli
slnco they took up thelr labors Tuesday
' afterno and have plcnty of work be
jforctheni to occupy thelr time for the
'remninderof the week at least. They

was llnally reached, by whlch tho
plalutlll is to recelve S500 from the com
patiy, withiiut costs; and the jury wero
