JULIUS J. ESTEY.
GSt. Adams Messenger.l

In the death of Gen. Julius ]. Estey of
Brattleboro. Vermont loses one of her
foremost and best citizens Few men in
the state took such an active part in
such a diversity of Vermont interests.
OF course his life had been mainly de-
voted to the extension and development
of the hourishing industry which he had
helped his father to make a success.
That was the one central serious pur-
pose of his purely worldly ambitions.
and he succeeded in accomplishing 1t so
that in his latter years he had ample
leisure and comparative freedom from
the perplexities of business. Meanwhile.
day by day with the concentration of
mind upon industrial affairs went also a
keen interest in the social, religious, and
political life of his home town, county,
and the state. He was one of those
active spirits that are not merely con-
tent with belonging" to some organiza-
ton; he was bound always to do or to
give his fun share and, If need be,
little more that the organization might
prosper. He was one of the all too
faithful souls that go miles to attend
meetings to help bolster up discouraged
causes, and often his CHEEKY words and
resolute example Were the means of in
spring fresh hope when there had
seemed to be little left to hope for.
ward many a movement for the good
Of the state and its people. and he was
always conspicuous among those who
could be counted on" when Vermont
had need of her sons To him more
than to any one other man is due the
uplifting of the morale of the Vermont
National Guard and the establishment
of standard of sobriety in its conduct
and purpose in place of the old-tme way
when much that was proper and more
that was serious was sacrificed to pleas
ure and display. He was pre-eminently
a public-spirited man, generous with his
services and his purse, always ready to
unite with movements or ally himself
with influences that were making for
the public good. And yet he always
avoided that somewhat questionable
name of "reformer." Possessed of
strong religious convictions and active
In church work, there was nothing of the
bigot, nothing of the man with one idea,
nothing of the intolerant spirit in his
makeup. He was a CHEEKY, whole
souled man, who loved good living and
good people, who loved to laugh and
loved to work who could mingle with
the world and its people, share with all
the everyday joys and sorrows of life,
and leave an influence of wholesome
living, of kindly purpose, of honest
aims, of generous disposition, and of
good deeds to perpetuate his memory.

PLANS FOR THE BRIDGE.
Arch Bridge Without Centre PIER
Would Cost 27,ooo--site Near Can
nina Factory Under Consideration.


ming Factory Under Consideration.
The committee appointed at the an
nual town meeting to investigate the
cost of a steel bridge across the Con
necticut river met last evening to talk
the matter over and draw up report
for publication, but on account of GER
tain contingencies the report was de-
ferred. A representative OF the
American Bridge company was in
Bratteboro early in the week and
gave the committee figures on differ
ent styles of bridges. 1t has been
thought best, in investigating the mat
ter, to take into consideration the
possibility of running a street railroad
to Hinsdale, and it has been found that
the extra cost on account of the extra
width would not be material
A 20-foot bridge on the site of the
present wooden bridge, resting on a
pier. would cost about $4,000. An
arch bridge of the same width without
pier would cost $27 1000. 1t is
thought that, for several reasons, a
single span bridge would be prefer
able, although the cost would be more.
Selectman Vinton says the present
pier rocks perceptibly so that If a
twospan bridge were put on it would
be necessary to rebuild the pier, which
would be done at large expense.
The committee favOrS placing the
new bridge three feet higher than the
present structure so as to avoid any
possible damage from high water,
logs. etc. and the cost of one or two
additional layers of masonary on the
abutments and the necessary grading
would not be heavy. 1t may be neces-
| sary to relay the abutment on the Yer
mont end of the bridge. The feeling
of the citizens of Hinsdale in the mat
ter will be ascertained in due time. 1t
| is assumed that they will be willing
! to do what is right as their selectmen
/ realize that the present structure is
unsafe and that a large expenditure
will be necessary in a few years at
the farthest At present Hinsdale
| bears one-fourth the cost of maintain
| ing the bridge.
1t is possible that a new site will
| be selected for the new structure. a
| suitable site. and one that would re
quire a bridge of about the same
! length as the present one. has been
| found about opposite the canning fac
| tory. This location would admit of an
| inexpensive bridge over the railroad
and would avoid bad crossing in case
an electric road should be constructed
! This location will be surveyed at once
| and another meeting of the commit
| tee will then be called.

rhe Rutland News of last evening
reproduced the above despatch to the
Free Press and added:
1t has been felt in Rutland. as well
as talked extensively throughout the
state, that if born Vermonter would
enter the field of gubernatorial can
didates the situation would be greatly
simplified and the best interests of
the state served. The name of
Fletcher d. Proctor has always been
the one mentioned as such third can
didate. The reputation he has made
as business man of extraordinary
ability, as a legislator of wide knowi-
edge and as a man of much force and
tact has placed him in the forefront
OF the Vermonters of the day.
AS to a formal announcement of
Mr. Proctor's candidacy for the gov
ernorship, that is another question.
To be governor of Vermont is an am
bition worthy of any man and it is
only laudable that Mr.. Proctor have
the aspiration. He is, it may truth
fully be said doubtless in the hands
of his friends. at the states service.
If the demand for his candidacy this
year is irresistible, he will probably
be found ready to serve the people.
The people may draft him; perhaps
that will be the position in which he
will be placed.
AS far as Rutland county is concern
ed, 1t has a great amount of home
pride. 1t is particularly proud of Mr..
Proctor. If the conditions of the con-
test as they develop seem to warrant
It, they will doubtless be represented
at the state convention solid for him
for governor.

PROCTOR A CANDIDATE.
He Will Yield to the Strong Pressure
and Will Relieve an Embarrassing
Situation.

Special despatch from Rutland in
Burlington Free Press Thursday
1t is stated by friends of the Hon.
Fletcher ID. Proctor. speaker of the
Vermont House of Representatives,
that strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon him to allow the use of
his name as a candidate for the gov
ernorship. They say there is a pro-
nounced demand from different parts
of the state for a candidate who is
thoroughly identified with the inter
ests of Vermont and in touch with the
spirit of her people and many urge
that it would relieve an embarrassing
situation which has already resulted
in considerable bitterness of feeling
in the canvass, if a third candidate
We're to be announced upon whom all
could unite. His friends emphatically
express the confident belief that he
will yield to the strong pressure that
is being eXerted upon him, and it can
be accepted as certain that he will be
a candidate for the Republican nom-
ination for the governorship at the
next state convention.
