laid up in a tasteful design and forming
background for the large granite drinking
trough which stands in front. A granite
tablet above the trough bears the inscrip-
ton: "Barna A. Clark, true friend and
a good man. 1896" The location of the

The boom which turned the logs to the
east side of the river broke Wednesday
night, and yesterday morning there was a
big log jam in the river, extending from
the bridge above the cove. A large force
of logmen were brought here as soon as
possible. They made rapid work of NOV
ing the logs, but during last night another
jam formed, extending from the cove near
ly to West river. The entire drive has
passed Bellows Falls, and the logmen do
not anticipate serious trouble in breaking
the jam, although there will be a delay of
three or four days.
