WHERE THE FARMS ARE.
Commissioner Valentines New Immigra-
ton Map of Vermont.

Commissioner Valentines New Immigra-
ton Map of Vermont.
A new map of Vermont has been issued
by the commissioner of agricultural and
mining interests, showing by its coloring
all the towns in the state which have
been reported by their listers as contain
ing at least 1900 acres of unoccupied
land. The amounts reported generally
run from four to ten thousand acres.
The only counties which do not show
towns in which at least there are 1900
acres of unoccupied farms are Chitten-
den, Addison, Franklin and Grand Isle
counties. Windham county shows the
largest number of towns and extent of
territory where contiguous farms are
thus shaded, Orange county coming next
land Orleans last. The list of towns CON
tanning over 1900 acres of unoccupied
lands by counties is as follows:
e1-oreans: Newport, Craftsbury, Barton,
Blower.
Essex: Concord.
Caledonia Newark, Sutton, Sheffield,
Wheeloek Peacham.
Washington =: Woodbury., MiddleSeX,
Marshfeld, Moretown, RoXbury.
orange: Orange, Topsham, Washington,
Brookheld, Bradford, Chelsea Vershire.
Tunbridge, STAFFORD, phetford.
Lamoille: Wolcott.
Windsor Sharon, Barnard, Norwich,
Reading, baltimore, Springfield, Chester,
Andover, Weston. Ludlow.
Rutland: Chittenden, Sherburne, Men
don. Mt. Tabor.
Windham: Grafton, TowHshend, Jamaica,
Stratton, Wardsboro, Brookline, Newfane,
Dover Wilmington, Somerset, Marlboro,
Halifax, Nottingham, Guilford
Bennington Peru, Winhall, Sandgate,
Searsburgh, Stamford, Readsboro.
OF course there are other towns where
may be found unoccupied lands though
not to so large an extent. This map is
made in accordance with the facts as re-
turned by the town listers. This map
reminds one of those SO often received
from the West and South and shows that
Vermont is catching on" to modern
methods of advertising.

According to the News and Citizen
1890 is the centennial year of Norris

cations to the people to say that in all
rural towns where such event was cele-
brated, the remarks have been to the
effect that it was an enjoyable and
profitable affair, the main drawback
being that they didn't begin making
arrangements soon enough. ApprO-
priations of money were too small,
and many more people would have
returned to the old home had the cele-

WINDSOR COUNTY STIRRING.

All reports indicate that the year is to
be one of activity and progress in quiet
Windsor County, in spite of the fact that
it has contributed probably more largely
than any other county in Vermont
except Windham to the current
southern enterprises. There is good
material in her pleasant and thrifty
towns and as Windsor County is on the
ought always. like those of Windham
County, to be looking towards the
morning. 1t is doubtful if any town in
the United States without railroad can
show as good record for push and
prosperity as can little Springfield.
With proper advantages the men who
make such town can make anything
that they will put their energies to.
Railroads are what Windsor County
needs more than anything else and if all
the rumors that are flying about are
true, railroads are what the county is
going to have. There is the line now
being surveyed by the Central Vermont
road from Windsor to Bellows Falls,
which is among the possibilities. Now
there is talk of a survey being made for
a line from Windsor through Ascutney-
vile, Amsden, Perkinsville, North
Springfield and Springfield, making a
railroad the entire length of the Black
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1890-01-16

River Valley, except for few miles
between Amsden and Cavendish. This
would open to active business natu-
rally rich and fertile country and would
be great factor in the development of
the county, since the advantages of the
Black River valley for agriculture,
manufacturing, or quarrying are seldom
eXcelled.
The Times sincerely hopes that Wind
sor County will fulfil all the bright
promises with which her year opens and
that her prospects will be even brighter
in a twelvemonth. Progress is the word
in Vermont now, all along the line.

AN INSTRUCTIVE MAP.

AIN lNS hOC I'VE WAT.
1t is striking feature of Commissioner
Valentines new immigration map that
Windham county which ought to be as
prosperous as any county in the state
makes the worst showing of all. Wind
sor and Orange come next, while Chit
tenden, Addison, Franklin and Grand
Isle have no unoccupied lands for sale.
In Windham county the towns lying
along the Connecticut, with Londonder-
~ and Windham, are the only ones which
are not shown as containing at least 1900
acres each of unoccupied lands. Wind
sor and Orange counties have ten towns
each in this deplorable condition.
Why is this? No counties in the state
have greater natural advantages for car
rying on the leading Vermont industries
than these which make so poor show
ing. The Brattleboro Reformer hits the
nail squarely on the head when it says
that 'sWindham is the county almost
above all others that has been pouring
her money into western mortgages,
'boom' cities, cattle ranches and other
similar ventures. The cash needed to
buy and sell farms has been drained off
to such an extent as in some places to
paralyze operations" 1t might be added
to this that the county which has come
nearest to Windham's record in assisting
| the development of distant sections of
the Union is probably Windsor and the
towns in that county that have cOntribu-
ted most largely to foreign enterprises
are those which the demon of desertion
has painted the deepest red on Mr. Val
entine's map. Again the Reformer says
Windham is county that has been paying
S2OO,0 900 year for several years for imported
horses, while Addison and other cCcnties
have built up considerable prosperity in
horse breeding, as can be done anywhere in
Vermont. Franklin, Chittendon and Addi-
son counties are also the ones that have been
paying the most attention to dairying. have
done the most with creameries, instead of
undertaking to raise beef at four or five cents
pound, and they are the freest from red
marks.
This indictment has an even keener
cuSc iIlaU U1lC former one. IIOfluctt lilC
investments are good there may be rea-
son in sending some money away to
newer countries where rates of interest
are higher and returns are quicker, but
nothing save ignorance or carelessness
can account for the neglect of money
making opportunities in a mans daily
business, when such opportunities exist.
We are in every way as well situated in
this part of the state for developing
stock, wool-raising and dairy industries
as are our northern neighbors who are
building on these foundations such sub
stantial prosperity. Yet we are doing
comparatively nothing in these direc-
lions.
Commissioner Valentines map is some
thing more than appears upon the sur
face. 1t is a valuable object lesson, the
study of which teaches in most forcible
way what makes for the well being and
prosperity of community, and what
fills a country with deserted farms and
croakers who wonder ''what we're COM
ing to-

sion should certainly be appointed at
that time, and such an event should
be celebrated in a way appropriate to
the character and purposes of the cit
izen." These suggestions are perth
nent wherever local anniversaries of any
significance are to be provided.
Here is some sound sense on the sena-
torship question from the Caledonian /:
''Some of the papers continue to agitate
the matter of state politics and some
have gone so far as to suggest Il candi-
date for the United States senate to be
elected by the Legislature next fall. This
seems to be useless waste of ink.
From present indications, if the candi-
date lives and is in his usual health, Sen
ator Morrill, will be his own successor.
And there is no particular reason why
is probably as useful a man in the senate
and reflects as much honor upon Yer
mont as any man the state could elect.
Let him die in the harness." No state
in the Union has held an influence in the
United States senate equal to Vermont.
The reason for this has been that this
state has sent to that body it's statesmen
and its leaders and then has kept them
there. Senator Morrill, loses none of his
vigor with years. He is still an able,
clear-headed statesman and it would be
folly to think of replacing him while his
health and strength allow him to serve
and honor his state.
The Rutland Herald presents state
ment of building operations in Rutland
during the past year, showing that there
have been "A buildings erected at total
cost of $326,300. The largest items in
this list were the buildings of the Yer
mont Marble Company at Center Rut-
land, $50 600; w. III. Johnson's resi-
dence, also at Center Rutland, which by
the way only belongs in the 1889 list by
virtue of being finished last year as it
was begun and mainly built two years
ago, $l5 900; the H. III. Baxter Memori-
al Library, $4,000; Universalist church
10000. "Forbes" in the Boston Jour
nal gives the following estimates of build.
ing figures for some of the other towns
in the state: Burlington, 81 buildings
costing $275,000; st. Adams, A. build
ings, costing $190,00O; Barre, 70 build
ings, costing $l40,000 Bennington, 5;
buildings, costing 1925, 900; Brattleboro
40 buildings, costing $153,000. From
this booming Barre appears to lead in tn,
number of buildings erected and Bur
lington in the average cost, while Rut
lands building boom looked at on al
sides has the largest proportion of any
