ENLARGE THE GRAND STAND.

The question of enlarging the grand
stand will undoubtedly come up at the an
nual Valley Fair meeting tomorrow. For
the good of the fair there can be no doubt
that the enlargement should be made in
season for this year : exhibition. The per-
manent success of the fair depends on hav-
ing all visitors go away satisfied, and the
one source of dissatisfaction last year was
that large numbers who wished to see. and
were willing 10 pay for the privilege, or
had paid for it, could not see the track.
The grand stand was crowded to its ut
most limit, and there was such iam
around the track railing that TO get near it
was impossible. People who had come
from points as distant as Springfield and
Hartford on the south and Rutland on the
north, to say nothing of our home folks.
had to go home without seeing the attrac-
tions so widely advertised. and in not
few cases they were in a state of eXaspera-
ton which was both natural and justiti-
able. 1t is question whether we have a
moral right to advertise a show which
regularly brings more than 20. 900 people TO
town and then net give our guests a chance
to see it. Enlarge The grand stand. 1t is
success that BrattlebOro is after so far as
the Valley Fair is concerned.

THE ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
The Directors Confer with the Select
men---the Prospects Encouraging

mcn---the prospects Hhco"t"S"N'
The directors of the Bratteboro street
railroad company held an informal confer
ence with the seectmen Saturday, i'm re-
gard to the location of the proposed electric
road, as provided by the laws of '94. After
mutual concessions it was supposed that
an agreement had been reached and that
on the filing of the formal petition on
Monday it would be approved by the Sc
lectmen. A request for delay was made 10
the selectmen on Monday by persons OPP
posed to the road, and on this account tue
action on the petition was postponed,
hearing being set for next wednesday, Jan
uary 80. 1t is understood that the opposl-
ton is headed by b. d. Harris and eX-Goy'
Fulers and others.
The directors are confident that they
have the right of the matter and believe
there is no way for the selectmen but to
approve or disapprove of the route as pro-
posed. If the petition is disapproved the
directors are fully agreed to call upon the
state railroad commissioners for the APP
proval of the route desired, which they
have no doubt can be done. The friends
of the road think this action will be unnec-
essary under its charter and the amend
ment passed by the last legislature, and
are confident of the approval of the select
men. If the petition is approved the di-
rectors will make known the exact route,
distance and estimated cost of the line, and
will endeavor to interest the necessary home
capital If this is secured the road can he
pushed to completion in the early spring.
If home capital cannot be interested in the
project several other propositions will then
be considered
1t seems to the directors that the major
ity of the people are willing to help in the
matter and that with the low cost of build
ing and equipping the road it can easily be
built by home capital. On further ipvesti-
CATION and from carefully prepared statis-
tics they claim that every 1000 people can
support one mile of electric road on a pay
ing basis. The estimate was made on a
higher capital than will be required here
at this time.

A BOOM FOR READsBORO.
II May Become city In Reality as
Well as i'm Name---To he the Site of "a
Large Electric Generating PLANT.

Large Electric Generating Plant.
Readsboro has a boom in sight as it is
announced that it will be the site of one of
the largest electric generating plants in
New England
p. G. Carpenter of North Adams has
sold to w. 5, Kelley of the Boston Gener-
al Electric company Howes pond and over
500 acres of land, situated in Readsboro
The pond is about two miles from the
city" and covers about 100 acres. A
dam about 10 feet high at the point from
which the pond discharges would make it
cover over 200 acres.
The pond is situated between two hills,
and is fed from never failing streams
Surveys show that the water would have a
fall of about 700 feet from the pond to the
probable location of the plant. If the
plan materalizes the water would be taken
in an aqueduct to the generating station.
The volume of water obtanable and the
great fall would give almost unlimited pow
er. II is the idea to generate electricity at
Readsboro and transmit it to North Ad-
ans, Shelburne Falls or any adjoining
town for power or lighting purposes. Mr.
Carpenter retains the wood on the land.
and is given two years to remove it.
Should this plant be established il would
make the Deerted valley the industrial ri
val of the Hoosac valley.

THE FIRST FIRE.
The 1893 Record Began with blaze
la Potter's Hcstaurant---Good Work
of the Fire Department..

The 1905 Record Began with a Blaze
la pOtter's Rcstaurant---Good Work
of the Fire Departments.
The first local fire of 1895 was discov-
cred about o'clock Sunday morning in
Charles Potter's restaurant. formerly
Pratts cafe. The alarm was rung i'm from
box 81 by Judson Stafford, who has room
in the building. The fire started in a
closet which opens into the dining room,
and which was used as a store room for
linen, china, etc. The fire was confined to
the closet and the surrounding easements,
the contents of the closet being DESTROYED.
Considerable damage was done i'm the din
ing room and the bed rooms on the first
floor by smoke and by the heat. There
was slight damage by water in the market
under the restaurant and i'm Bakers barber
shop.
The fire department responded promptly
and did its work in a way that could not
be criticized. At the time of the alarm
the thermometer stood at from g to s. be-
low zero. The loss on the building, which
is owned by w. F. Richardson II Co., and
which was insured through both the Childs
and Taylor agencies, has been adjusted at
Sl5S, l.. 5. Hayes of Bellows Falls max
ing the adjustment for the Childs compa-
MES and l.. d. Taylor for the companies
represented by his firm. Small damages in
Richardson's market and in Bakers barber
shop have also been adjusted. The loss to
Potter, which he estimates at several hun
dred dollars, has not been settled G. A.
Bliss was to have taken charge of the bust
ness on Monday, he having leased it of
Potter. 1t is probable that he will sue
coed Potter when the necessary repairs have
been made

The Fortnightly club met at DR.. Web
ster's on Tuesday evening and listened To
two admirable papers upon the Develop
ment OF popular reading in the 10th cen
tury,' Mrs. Frank Wells considered the
rise of the newspaper, magazine. etc. in
England, and Miss Emma Dutton the like
progress in America. Both papers were
very instructive. The reading of second
new local journal followed the papers, after
a brief social intermission. The new pa
per rivals the recent Vermont Red Clover
Extract, and is named the Brattlehoro
Squeak. The editors were Misses Emma
Gregg and Mary Fits, and j. G.. Menzles.
Witty and scientific articles and amusing
hits entertained the company. The Feb
ruary meeting will consider Progress in
art, and will also mark the issue of a new
volume of short stories by recently discoy-
cred novelists.
