Advantages of SaxtonS River as a Home

Why not build and own your own
home in Saxtons River? twill cost you
only 81 per month to ride on the cars to
and from your work in Bellows Falls.
Saxtons River possesses many advan-
tages over Bellows Falls as a home. A
home can be purchased there for at
least $500 less money than in Bellows
Falls; land is much cheaper; the cost of
living is less because all the necessities
of life are cheaper. You have plenty of
elbow room. 1t is possible to obtain
a plot of land large enough and
cheap enough to MAKE it practi
cable to have a barn and horse and
rig if you desire. Aou can have
also nice garden in the rear of your
house, and raise your own vegetables
You are not compelled to have strange
family travelling around over your head
running up your front stairs, and bother
ing you. You can have home fa1
enough from your neighbor so you will
not be compelled to look into his win
dows every time you look out, or have
him look into yours. on can save
money in taxes, water rates, etc. OF
have good schools and churches, anC
your children can grow sturdy and strong
by having plenty of room to romp anc
play in, and they do not have to bt
brought up on the streets.
SaXtons River is the most beautiful
and healthful village in all southern Yer
mont, and the sulphite smoke of Bellows
Falls never reaches there. People who
live there do not care to move back to
Bellows Falls. A house built in Saxton!
River now is likely to increase in value
greatly within the next few years.

That keen observer of nature, John
Muir, tells in "Our National Parks" q
pretty story of a woodchuck. In the
spring of 1873 he was exploring the
peaks and glaciers about the head of
the middle fork of the San Joaquin and
when passing round a frozen lake
where the snow was ten feet deep was
surprised to find the fresh track of q
woOdchuck.
What could the animal be thinking
of to come out so early while all the
ground was snow buried? The steady
direction of his track showed he had
a definite aim, and fortunately it was
toward a mountain 1900 feet high
that | meant to climb. So | followed
to see if l could find out what he was
up to.
From the base of the mountain the
track pointed straight up and knew
by the melting snow that l was not far
behind him. l lost the track on a
crumbling ridge, partly projecting
through the snow. but soon discovered
it again.
Toward the summit of the mountain,
in an open spot on the south side, near
ly Enclosed by disintegrating pinnacles
among which the sun heat reverberat-
ed, making an isolated patch of warm
climate, l found a fine garden full Of
rock cress, phloX, silene, draba and a
few grasses, and in this garden l over
took the wanderer, enjoying a fine
fresh meal, perhaps the first of the sea-
son.
How did he know the way to this one
garden spot, so high and so far off, and
what told him that it was in bloom
while vet the snow was ten feet deep
over his den? He must have had more
botanical. typographical and climatic
logical knowledge than most mountain
