defstand correctly, the newest phase
Iofthei'O Ohio idea,' as put forth BY the

Before the era of railways, New
England village was the slow growth of
years. But now a few months are suf-
ticient to accomplish the work of a score
or more of years, and especially is this
true when new road in developing a
hitherto unknown region, happens to
locate Il station at some natural center.
This will serve to illustrate the rapid
growth of this village, which is now the
central point of the great and growing
lumber interests of Essex County. Its
rise and progress" is remarkable in
this time of financial embarrassment and
depression. A few years since all this
vicinity was completely a wilderness
and even up to last October there was
not even a depot or a building, al
though the station there had been
established for some time. This en-
bryo village is on the summit between
the Moose and Connecticut Rivers upon
a plateau of 100 feet in extent of level
ground on the line of the P. & o. rail
road. 1t is three and One-half miles
from West Concord by rail, and three
and One-fOurth miles distant from Miles
Pond. Almost rs acres have been
cleared for the sight of the new village
