Rsttlesnake brook rises high up among
the Pownal mountains. and after pursuing
westerly course gradually flows in a
southerly direction and finally empties in
to the Hoosac river near the State Line
House in Williamstown. The brook is
fed by pure springs and the volume OF wa
ter is seldom less-ned even in the driest
weather. All the Pownal farmers over
whose land the stream flows have been
reaping a golden harvest in selling water
rights to North Adams man, presumably
ex-Mayor A. G. Houghton. More than
$4,000 has already been paid to the far
mers, and all the rights have not yet been
obtained. 1t is said dam will be erected
in the spring so that the brook may be run
to North Adams or Williamstown.
The granite business in Vermont was
never better than it is today. There is
plenty of work and men are scarce, yet at
the same time money is hard. Prominent
dealers say there is no end OF work, yet col
lections are coming in slow. The prices on
granite in the rough promise to remain
where they are at present for short time
longer, notwithstanding the high price Of
steel and articles required in getting out
stone, which have doubled in price during
the past year. An effort was made recent
y among owners of the quarries to agree
to raise in price, and ali but one of the
largest quarries on the hill acqui s.ced. As
this quarry would not agree the endeavor
to fix the price of granite where it was a
year ago failed. Not even the shadow OF
the granite trust is now in existence. The
combination has fallen through without any
hope OF being raised again this season.
The feeling that there will be strike next
year is not discounted by the granite firms,
and in all contracts now taken by the ma
jority OF firms particular prominence is
given to the strike clause Montpelier
Argus.
