NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMENT.

NEW TIftiNV SSWt WI CIV
Blueberries are being shipped to Bos-
ton from different parts of the state, the
price paid being II cents per quart. The
crop is about an average one.
Plans are being perfected for the ex-
tension of the Pemigewasset Valley rail-
road from North Woodstock to Bethle-
hem. This will shorten the distance be-
tween Boston and Mt Washington 40
miles.
Good help for haying is exceedingly
scarce. Up in Lyme and that vicinity
they are offering $50 month for good
hands and can't get them at any price.
1t would seem as though some of the
loafers and oilers of the villages and
cities might find plenty of work through
summer, at least.
Thomas B. Wattles of Suncook, mana
ger of new Irvine and yarn company,
with capitol stock of $4,000, author
ICES the statement that they will start up
their business in Penacook within 80 days
If Boscawen will exempt the works from
taxation for term of years. 1t is pro-
posed to locate the plant in the four
story building recently used as cotton
factory.
Hon. Peabody Webster Ladd, who died
at Newbury. VT, recently. was born at
Haverhill, August 10, 1905. He was the
son of Joseph and grandson of Hon.
Ezekiel Ladd one of the earliest settlers
of that town. Going to Newbury when
a boy, he married Elizabeth Lowell,
daughter of John johnson and grand
daughter of Col Thomas johnson of re-
volutionary fame. Judge Ladd was the
oldest member of the Congregational
church, having united with it in May,
1928, and the first Sunday school in the
house built by himself, where he had re-
sided GO years. A daughter, Mrs. E. L..
Childs, and two grandsons survive him.
The Parker and Young Manufacturing
company at Lisbon has already formu-
lated plans for their new plant which is
stroyed by fire. Charles Parker, the
senior member and manager of the con-
Germ SAYS that the first work of con-
struction will be in the shape of black
smith shop, dryhouse, and other neces-
sary outbuildings, leaving the main man
ufactory until the last. This will be
built on about the same general plan as
the old one, with the exception that the
sawmill will be separate, which will be
erected some 100 feet or so nearer the
village. The new buildings will be
equipped with all modern improvements,
electric lights, ETC., and will be model
! manufacturing establishment when COM
pleted.
Boarding schools for young women
: alone are good institutions in some parts
of the country but evidently do not pay
very well in this state. Tilden seminary
at West Lebanon, which has been run
for IS years exclusively for the higher
education of women, will be opened in
the autumn as first class boarding and
day school for boys and young men fit
ting for college and for business. The
!, trustees have just elected Prof. Edward
E. Benner, for the last II years principal
of Salt Lake academy at Salt Lake, Utah,
as principal. Prof. Benner was a New
) England boy, graduated from Amherst
college, and has in these years of sue
cessful experience gained position
among our ablest educators. Under his
wise and energetic management it is con
} fidently expected that Tilden seminary
will soon take its place among the best
or fitting school.
There is a rumor afloat that the Bos-
ton & Maine and Canadian Pacific rail-
roads are to open short line from the
Northern road at Canaan and connect
with the Connecticut River system at
Oxford, an air line distance of Is miles,
making much shorter route to Boston
from Montreal. The contemplated link
in this state would leave the Canaan sta
ton, pass near Goose pond in that town,
thence through the northeastern portion
of Hanover, through Lyme and then
over the southwestern part of Oxford
and over the Connecticut River to Fair
lee, VT, on the Passumasic line. Aside
from it's advantages as portion of a
through route, it would develop consid-
cradle local business. 1t is believed that
this link could be constructed at very
moderate expense. 1t is said that NO
charter exists for building the same, but
the railroad commissioners would, with
; out doubt, approve its construction on
the ground of public good and its non.
interference with any present road.
There are those who predict that the en-
tire scheme will include building another
short link from Andover on the Northern
road through the valley of BlackwateI
river to Mastyard, about seven miles
: from Concord on the Claremont system.
| for the purpose of avoiding the heavy
grade between Franklin and Andover
Various other rumors are in circulation
here, one being that the final outcome
will be the building by the Boston &
, Maine of link from Mastyard through
: Hopkinton, Weare, Gofstown, Bedford
and Merrimack to Nashua, which would
give the Boston & Maine and the Cana.
dian Pacific through independent line
from the Pacific ocean to Boston.
