A meeting to consider an act inoor-
porating this village was held in Island
Pond Hall, Thursday evening and the
general interest in aud favor Of this
movement Was very plainly shown by
the large attendance. An act OF i,cor-
poration was presented for the oousidera-
ton of the voters lay J. u. Bates, Esq,
for the committee. and with one or two
minor changes was unanimously accepted
and adopted. The question that caused
the most, and, in fact, the only argu-
ment, was in regard to the name of the
village, the meeting being about equally
divided in favor of Brighton, and the
present name of the village, Island Pond.
Those in favor of the name of Brighton
seemed to have a little the best of the
argument but the difference of opinion
was deemed of sufficient Importance to
postpone the meeting for one week that
the matter might he talked over. SO
the matter will be settled in its entirety
tonight at the same hour and place.

take effect January 1. Has accepted
the presidency of the Southern Pacific
Railroad.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Hays, general mana
ger of the Grand Trunk Railway system,
has accepted the offer of the presidency
of the Southern Pacific Railroad, in sue
cession to the late Coils z. Huntingdon,
and will sever his connection with the
Grand Trunk at the termination of his
present engagement with that road on
January /, next.
Mr.. Hays will make San Francisco his
headquarters when he assumes his posi-
ton with the Southern Pacific and will
leave Montreal soon after the first of the
New Year. lie declined to say whether
any names had been considered 10y the
Grand Trunk directorate i'll connection
with his probable successor.
The position of President of the
Southern Pacific System is one of the
highest in the railroad world. Indeed
it is, perhaps, in some respects, the high
est. The Southern Pacific System, as is
known, embraces more than 1000 miles
of lines, extending across the continent
to San Francisco, and owns and oper-
ates besides several lines of steamships,
including line to Samoa and Australia.
1t is safe to say that the position which
Mr.. Hays is about to enter upon is worth,
at the lowest estimate, $4,000 a year.
Mr.. Hays salary with the Grand Trunk
has been $4,000 year.
Mr. Hays has been general manager
of the Grand Trunk System since Janu-
airy |, 1896, since which time the capt.
tai stock has an enhanced value of some
SS0,000,000 over the market price of
1895. This improvement is materially
due to the increased payment of divi-
dends to the English stockholders,
amounting to 1892 3i, for the four
years ending December 81, 1899. A de-
felt of S3,S56,00 in the interest on the
perpetual debenture stock, which existed
December 81, 1895, has been earned and
paid since that date The company has
also added the Central Vermont to its
system. The line, $50 miles in length,
afforded an outlet for the Grand Trunk
to New York and Boston. Under the
recent reorganization of the Central
Vermont, by the Grand Trunk Railway,
the Grand Trunk was awarded more
than two-thirds of the stock, as we'll as a
large proportion of the Sl2,000,0O0 OF
bonds issued in payment of its claims
against the property. Under Mr.. Hays
regime hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been and are now being expended
IN the improvement and equipment OF
the system, which today ranks among
the leading railroads on this continent.
Before taking charge of the affairs OF
the Grand Trunk Railway, Mr.. Hays
was general manager of the Wabash
Railroad, and at a former time he occn
pied similar position on the Missouri
Pacific line.
