The Green Mountain Telegraph Com
pany.

The Green Mountain Telegraph COM
pany, which began building lines about
ten years ago. has gradually extended its
service to the various villages In this
part of Windham and Windsor counties,
and to Bennington county. until 1t now
has over 100 miles of lines and runs to Is
villages. A year or two ago 1t equipped
all offices with telephones in addition to
the telegraph instruments and now has
both telegraph and telephone facilities at
all its offices. The lines run from here
to Grafton, Windham, Peru, Manchester,
Dorset, Chester and other points, and the
last line erected was one from Chester to
Weston. The business of the company
is under the management of w. E. l..
Walker of Grafton, and most of the stock
is owned at Grafton. The two offices
in our village are at the Western Union
Office and at the Office of r. L. Walker,
who is a stakeholder. The company
does no advertising and little is known of
1t here unless some people want to reach
some of it's towns quickly, when they
find good service. The profits of the
company are used each year in extending
the service and it has become an inn
portant factor In the rural places but
seldom heard of in Bellows Falls or
places where 1t has not reached.
Most of the towns where this company
has offices are not reached by other
telegraph or telephone companies.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
RAILROAD MEN TALK OF REPAIR
ING OLD STATION.

Unsanltary Condition and other De-
fects of Present Station Pointed Out
at Hearing Before Railroad Com
missioners.
The railroad commissioners met We'd
nesday afternoon at II. d. Ryder's office.
The Rutland railroad replied to the petit
tons sent by the board of trade, saying
three railroads had an interest in the
railroad station and these would have to
be determined before anything definite
could be done, and that plans had been
made already for enlarging and remodel
ling the present one. DIR. ]. T. Ridden,
as chairman of the board of health,
testified as to the very unsanitary con-
dition of the station; Wyman Flint and
Henry c. Johnson as to It's entire in
adequacy for present uses and the dan
ger from the present approach through
Canal street. Station Agent A II.
Switzer. George d. Jackson, general
agent of the Rutland road, and Engineer
Parker testified for the Rutland road in
prefavor of repairing the present station
and using the Bridge street approach,
thus doing away with the crossing Mr..
Jarvis testified that by the way of Bridge
street the distance from the middle of
the square was only $50 feet more than
by way of Canal street. Superintend-
ent Folsom said he thought the present
location better than the one prepared by
the board of trade. To those who walk
to the station the extra $50 feet would
seem a noticeable addition to the dis
lance. The proposed additions to the
present station would give a floor space
of 1924 feet, and possibly APO feet might
be added on the south side. The res
taurant would use about the same space
as now but the dining room and tele-
graph office would be upstairs.

Communism
tSt. Adams Messenger. |

The House has passed the bill raising
the state highway tax to 10 cents and.
If 1t passes the Senate. the small towns
are to hold up the large towns for con-
tributions of more money. 1t is strange
how intelligent men can view these BIZ
ennial manifestations of the growing
spirit of communism here in Vermont
without so much as the wink of an eye.
The little towns are in the saddle boot
ed and spurred, and the big towns must
be made to pay tribute And yet there
are men who profess to believe that we
are living under a Republican form of
government here in Vermont, where q
per cent of the population has more votes
in the making of laws than the other 70
per cent.

Hetty Green Wants a Church.

Although Hetty Green has ceased to
be resident of Bellows Falls our citi-
Zens evince an interest in her doings.
The following Is a press despatch from
Chicago this week Mrs. Hetty Green
seeks to obtain possession of the Fifth
Presbyterian church. What she in
tends to do with it is not set forth
in her petition for foreclosure. Witnesses
who We're examined intimated that she
wanted her money and had no interest
whatever in the future spiritual welfare
of the congregation whose members are
involved in the struggle. Mrs. Green
intimated that either Judge Oliver II.
Horton, or Harlow n. Higginbotham
might pay the amount of her mortgage
on the church. When they declined to
do so she told an attorney to bring suit,
as she was tired waiting for payment
of the $4,000 mortgage which she holds
on the property at Goth street and In
diana avenue. The Trinity Methodist
church has an equity in the property.
'All I want is my money and interest"
says Mrs. Green.
