In the announcement to the public OF
the opening OF the White River Valley
railroad, a neighboring writer has omitted
the name OF John r. Tupper OF Rochester,
whose energy, untiring efforts and ex.
penditure OF money alone made II possi-
bic for Rochester and the immediate
towns along the line to Bethel village to
become railroad towns and by so doing
has opened up the commercial resources
OF this prolific valley to the outside world.
The name OF Mr.. Tupper should be first
mentioned In this connection. IL is well
mem bered that he made arrangements
for, and accompanied large party OF In
fiucntial voters from Rochester, Hancock,
ockbridge, Gaysville and Pittsfield to
inspect the efficiency of the working OF a
similsr railroad at Stowe previous to the
time when these towns were bonded for
this railroad; and it was Mr.. Tupper who
interested Mr.. Burgett and other finan-
ciers OF Boston to start the White River

The Girl and tho Balloon.
The following, which was one of
Mulhattan's first, gives some idea Of
his life:
There was man by the name OF
John Smith of Lindon, Kan, who be-
came acquainted with little girl at
the seaside. She was nice girl, and
her name was Lulu Avery from AL
bany. N. Y. He bought the little girl
bunch of toy balloons. She wrap
ped the string holding them about her
waist, and when strong gust of
wind came the balloons sailed away
and carried her with them. to the hor-
ror of her new friend. An old hunts
er out in the fields saw the predica-
ment Of the little girl and fired so
that he exploded two of the balloons
The others acted as a parachute, and
the little girl safely descended to the
