S. Separator beat them at the Pan-American, but the fact remains that the U. 8. did beat them by its work in the Model Dairy. Now, to draw attention away from these ''would-be competitors" begin sparks that caught in the roof of some ual teats of the separators.

These "would-be competitors" go state: "they received the gold and only Everybody who knows anything about Company received no Qold Medal. All the back It is true they did have the jury fixed to their liking and that jury turned everybody down but themselves, but that ihe jury was made up of De Laval agents and partisans, they immediately appointed a new jury, and that jury awarded the Vermont Farm Machine Company twelve medals of highest merit on its different articles of manu facture; twelve times as many awards De Laval Company, got. At Paris, 1900, the De Laval Separator tors. Their foster father, the Aktiebolaget Separator of Stockholm, Sweden, did have a big exhibit, but no prize was awarded them by the regular or class jury. When the class jury were examining the separators our representative urged that the separators be tested to and also presented a written request that such tests be made, but was informed by the jury that the DeLaval Company's foster father, the Aktiebolaget Separator, objected to tests, claiming that it would take six months (three in winter and three in summer) to make reliable tests.

C. Hawley, of Burlington, and other prominent men of the medical profession in this state who are desirous for the greatest progress and advancement in that line, have long been working to or ganize medical societies in each county. to be connected with the state society. The work is progressing in a Very satis factory manner and it is expected that these county organizations will soon be effected. A sufficient number of physicians in Bennington county have already signified their intention of joining the so ciety that district and other counties will be heard from soon.

It is likely that Burlington Clinical Society and the Chit ten'den society will be united. J. S. Knowlton, the manager and pro prietor of the Vermont Fruit Company of Bellows tails, has for a few years past manufactured cider on a small scale at his farm, but last year the quarters were much new machinery put in, a new storage house built, and between 3,000 and 4.000 barrels of cider made. Ihe company now has on.

hand 1,500 barrels of vinegar, soon to be marketed. A side track is now being built to the plant, connecting with the electric road at a point a short distance below Mr. Knowlton's house. The company is planning a larger output this season, not withstanding the scarcity of fruit, having on hand 4,000 bushels of apples with several car loads en route. Twelve vinegar generators will be put in this season, which will make vinegar by a quick pro cess, and later another storage tank will be built.

Boiled cider is also made there in larare quantities. A little idea of the magnitude of the immense work being done northeast or Rutland by the Chittenden Power cpm-pany in building the storage reservoir for power for the Rutland Street Railway company other industries can be gained by the statement of the fact that the steel tube, five miles long, through which the water will be delivered at the point at or near East Pittsford where the power is to be developed and converted will cost the company over fioo.ooo. This is an expense over and above all the cost of the dam, excavating and ether extensive work now being done at Chittenden and which is employing hundreds of men and scores of teams and steam power appliances. This steel tube will be about five feet in diameter, the shell being about an inch thick to withstand the pressure, and will of necessity be made of the strongest steel. The pay roll of the company Saturday covered 225 men.

The body of Seymour H. Washburn of New York city, who died suddenly from apoplexy Friday on a train between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, was brough to Vergennes for burial Monday morning Mr. Washburn was born in Fownal in 1848 and went to Vergennes with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Wash burn, when about four years old.

He lived there until about 25 years ago when he moved to New York City, where he has since resided. Mr. Washburn was a well known interior decorator of public building and private houses. He decorated the machinery building at the Chicago World's Fair, the Lawyers' club and the Merchants' club rooms of New York city, the ball-room of the Waldorf- Astoria, the Equitable Life Insurance building and the home of Ambassador Choate.

Baldwin of New York, and VV. H. Baldwin of Rutland, compose the board of director: The proposition under consideration is the building of a line to White River Junction. In fact, several propositions are under discussion. It will not be sur prising if the company decides to put a line right through Montpeher and New port or effect consolidations with other roads which will make a through line.

Woodstock may not be on the line when is built. The line to White River Junction will be between 50 and 55 miles long. One thing is certain, there is going to be a great deal of activity in railroad matters, with Rutland as the center of oper ations during the comine few months. The plans for operations ot the company are not as yet all of them mature, but it safe to guess that within a year work of construction will actually commence. Lines of surveys of the road to Wood stock have already been made.

These contemplated a steam line. The new line if built will be an electric line, the distance thereby being considerably shortened. It will necessitate radical changes in surveys which will be made the near future. Letter to K. E.
