BrattlebOro, Portland and Trees


Brattlebor0's scenic beauty, Its high moral
ity, Intelligence and cleanliness. It's en- courage'
ment OF education and tho arts, and It's deve''
opment of individuals who have taken the
first rank IN many departments OF human ac-
tIvity ard become In nearly all cases famous
men and wOmen--these features are very
close to the chief city of Maine. Indeed, II |
had not become pretty well acquainted, IN
general. with the fine features OF Portland, !
should be inclined to say, after looking over
Brattleboro-so far does II excel every otner
village in the country In the distinction when
1t achieves In all Intelligent minds by us
scenery, It's good order, and the varied ana
high talent OF more than score OF the men
and women who have started here In the last
thirty years--I say l should be inclined 10
leave Portland out of the comparison. But,
IN the first place, Portland and BIattleDofo'
like all high class communities. are great De-
levers IN trees. Tree culture Is true culture
and the fine de velopment of charac er Whlcn
Is going on 10 Portland is also going on mere
IN the line of tree.raising. The streets OF
Brattleboro are closely set with tall. OLD,
beautiful trees; elms, pines and white blfches
and the dooryards contain ITO
erai sprinkling of trees. the largest and most
enchanting white b'rches to De seen IN New
England, except, possibly, In Natlck, MASS,
being among them.
or course the roads leading out OF Briitle.
bOro are well lined with the same varieties OF
tree, and It IL noticeable that when road II
widened by selectmen all the trees which can
be saved are saved, In some places there being
foot of ground between The trunks
Of line Of pines or birches and the emhank-
ment which the widening has occasioned. In
making their yards, by hedges. shrnboery and
flowers. as attractive and educatve as pos
sihlp these people are also doing what Is done
In Portland. There are not such wildly ro'
mantle spots In Portland as IN Brattleboro,
but much of the landscape In the two cases IS
very similar. What Portland loses IN Wild
ness of scenery she makes up in marine glory,
40 the balances IN that direction are ahoui
,ven. y Ny conclusion Is that for al
purposes which enter into a useful and aspii-
ing life, Portland is the most desirable GUY OF
In New England, and Bratleboro
he most desirable country town.

There are few who have given the question
OF Beneficial Insurance moments thought,
but when they DO they can easily see that the
plan OF local assessments Is wrong. Can any
fair minded man say that young man of %
should pay as much per year dues as a man of
40 or should a man of 40 paw as much dues
per year as man of 80 or go? Many men,
bers think because Tribe is adding to Its
membership and slowly increasing It's funds
each year that 1t Is on the road to prosperity
forgetting that each new member adds to its
liability faster than its assets accumulate, es-
pecially where the tendency is to be eXtrava-
CANT with the tribes funds. When young
man OF q joins the order the tribe should lay
aside one half of bis dues each year, decreas.
Ing the amount until he arrives at the age of
45 when his dues will equal the amount of his
tenefls ;sfter be passes The age OF 40 then the
sick benefits he will draw will be more than
his dues as his expectations of sickness at so
will be eight days; at go it will be is days In
the year. Hence if tribe has not laid up sur
plus IN the younger days of the members 1t
will soon go to the wall. Every tribe should
take warning from the Lodges of other socie.
ties that have been obliged to throw up their
charters on account of being unable to meet
the demands of Gains for sickness among its
members. At another time we will give the

closely as possible the proposed route

The object OF their coming is to make
arrangements for immediate work on
the line from this end, or rather from
Peoria, to which point the grading has
already been completed.
Said Chief Engineer Vaughn "We're
going to begin, begin right away and
keep at it until it's finished"
Mr.. Vaughn explained that for a dis

work upon which as many men are at
work from both ends of that stretch as
can be advantageously employed.
As far south as Peoria there is more or
less rockwork and a great deal OF it Of
such a character as to render progress
necessarily slow. So not only from
Peoria northwsrd but from every other
available point on the line the work Of
grading will be begun.
Mr.. Lantry says that his part of the
contract will be finished and the bed
will be ready for the track within five
months.
The tracklaying will be pushed
equally vigorously at the rate of about
mile day and the road will be COM
pleted before January /.
As has been mentioned in THE RE.

some distance above Peoria the one by
the way Of Wickenberg has been fully
decided upon.

OLYMPIAN GAMES
Open at the High School with SEMI
disastrous Result.


Olympian games have been insti-
tuted at the high school and the youth
of Phoenix are being subjected to the
same rigid athletic training which
formed part Of the education for clti-
zenship OF the boys OF Athens.
The west side of the high school
building presents strongly amphi-
threatical appearance by reason OF
rows of seats raised one above the
other like those ingenious contri,ances
designed to show off hot house flowers.
Yesterday morning a foot race was
billed and two boys named Norris and
McElvoy on horseback acted as mar
shals to keep the crowd off the course
which happened to be the street on the
west side OF the school grounds. They
wore badges OF Office and evinced an in
terest in the impending contest which
was communicated to their horses,
naturally lively animals even under
less exciting surroundings. In the
course OF their squirting through the
crowd the knee OF one of the horses
struck little Mexican boy in the face
and knocked him down. Officer Porter
Moffatt learned OF these Greek goings
on and arrested the boy that rode the
horse over the little Mexican boy. He
took him to the city hall followed by a
procession Of about 1000 boys to the
great wonderment OF every body along
the route who had previously had an
imperfect notion OF the extent of the
future population OF Phoenix. The
matter was readily arranged before Re-
corder Schwartz. 1t was plain that the
injury to the little boy was only an
accidental incident OF the games. The
juvenile marsbal's father agreed to look
after the boy who was hurt and ac-
cordingly furnished sum Of money for
medicine and such attention as he might
require and every body was satisfied.
Even the little Mexican boy and his
mother believes that these Olympian
gamers are not without their uses.
