Hiah Grade Art Exhibition.

The exhibition of pictures from the
Soule Art company this week in the
assembly room of the High School
building is one of the finest collections
that has ever been shown in this viii
lage. There are on exhibition about
250 copies of the finest pictures in the
world, each copy being a masterpiece
of art. The range of subjects is great,
embracing copies of famous pictures
of all the great masters, of many of
the finest buildings of the world, of
famous ruins, of the work of famous
sculptors, and pictures of American
scenery. The finest work of all times
from the beginning of art up to the
present time is included. The pic
lures of the life of Christ are partic-
ularly fine. Tuesday evening a clear
and comprehensive lecture on "Tradi-
tons of Art" was given by C. w. Os-
good and this evening a lecture by
Rev. Alfred Hamatt is to be given on
the History of Art" The attendance
has been smaller than was hoped,
though number of people have gain
ed pleasure from it. 1t will be remem-
bered that the exhibit is under the
auspices of the art department of the
Woman's club and the proceeds will
go toward buying new pictures for the
various school buildings of the village.

Our sister village, Brattleboro
seems to be raising an objection to the
existing passenger service at Bellows
Falls, complaining because the two
railroads centering here seem to take
delight in missing connections, thus
giving Brattleboro people good chances
to enjoy to the full the many advan-
tages and beauties of our passenger
station and it's surroundings. I'm
provement certainly is needed in the
service here as well as in the station.
One morning last week the Fitchburg
train was seen to draw out of the
station just as the Boston & Maine
train came over the bridge, thus mar
rowly missing making the connection.
A wait of minute or two would have
been sufficient to transfer passengers.

Good Outlook for Improved Rail-
road Facilities.
DR.. w. S. Webb and President
Clement of Rutland Road Here for
lnspection-14oo Signed Petition
for New Railroad Station.

for New Railroad Station.
The agitation regarding improved
railroad facilities for Bellows Falls,
which has been under way for some
weeks by the board of trade, seems to
be bearing fruit. There is a prospect
that during the winter or spring very
many changes will be made in the
local railroad facilities, in addition to
the new station, which has been par
ticularly asked for. Last Saturday
afternoon about l o'clock DR.. Webb's
private car came to Bellows Falls,
bringing DR.. Webb, President p. w.
Clement of the Rutland road, and DR..
Webbs general road master, O'Don-
nell, from Malone, N. Y. The party
spent a large part of the afternoon
thoroughly examining the property Of
the Rutland railroad at this point and
making preliminary plans for the
various changes. The only thing def
nitely settled upon was the relaying
of the abutments of the Rutland bridge
across the canal and putting in an ad-
ditional bridge just above the one now
in use for the purpose of giving a
double track entrance to the yard
from the main line. The new bridge
will be Of steel, similar to the one now
in use. The placing of this new bridge
beside the old one will necessitate the
removing of portion of the old
round house, which now comes near
the main line. The old round house,
which has been in very dilapidated
condition so many years will be re-
placed by a new and modern one. The
matter of the new station was discuss
ed somewhat, but no definite decision
reao he'd. DR.. Webb, who now owns
the controlling interest in the stock
of the Rutland road seems to think
rlore of the looks of the buildings of
the road than those heretofore in man
agement.
The petition for a new passenger
station signed by over 1400 patrons
of the road in this vicinity, has not yet
been presented to President Clement,
but the party knew of it's existence
during its visit Saturday. The re-
cent securing of 81 ,000,0 for improve
ments along the line of the Rutland
road would seem to contain many pos
sibilities locally. The road has the
relaying of the old 60-pound rails with
the standard S0-pound rails we'll under
way. They have distributed them
along the line 10 miles this way from
Rutland, to Summit, and about 10
miles Of this distance is laid and in
use, despite the severe winter weather,

The 'Brattleboro Retreat used 100,-

elevated track and coal sheds in the

pleted the erection of a pumping sta

There has been tendency in Brat

but the small expenditure of the past
year in the matter of residences may
be taken as indicating that the people
are beginning to realize that the pres

to meet all demands. 1t will con-
tinue to be sufficient until something
is done to attract new industries, there
by increasing the population and the
demand for residence property.
