$75,OOOIN BUILDINGS
Woodstock Spent About This Fig
ure LAST Year.

Though Woodstock doesn't grow
rapidly in population, the town still
shows signs of material prosperity
and spends money in new buildings
and improvements from year to year.
A conservative estimate places the
amount expended in 1904 at $75,-
900.
The past twelve months have been
notable for the handsome buildings
constructed. The new graded school
building was completed last spring
at a cost of about $4,000. The
new Catholic church, which will
cost in the neighborhood of $l5,-
900, was built during the past sea-
son. The new schoolbouse at South
Woodstock, costing $4,000, and the
one in the Pelton district, costing a
little less, complete the list Of public
buildings, which makes a very re-
spectacle showing.
Two residences have been built on
River street by E. A. Spear and Mrs.
Lucy Blossom. On South street
Henry Park has built house ON the
site of his old residence.
The Boulevard" as some call this
spot in the south part of the village,
has grown large enough to have an
appropriate official name. Here Ed
win H. Clark and Oliver Goodroad
have each built new houses; George
H. Day has erected double tene-
ment. Albert Atwood has put up a
barn and B. L. Pinney has enlarged
the building occupied by S. G.
White as a paint shop.
On High street the improvements
include an addition to W. E. Views
house.
E. II. Slayton continues to build
on his Lincoln street lots, erecting
barn the past season, and has also
made comfortable tenement from
one Of his barns.
At G. H. Mass place on Pleasant
street two large greenhouses, one
about 70 feet in length and the other
100 feet, have been erected by F. S.
Mackenzie, the new buildings and
the old containing nearly twenty
thousand square feet of glass.
Mr.. Mass has also built a l25-foot
addition to his houses for violet
bed, ETC., and has made other i'm
provements inside and out of his
Conservatives.

Fresh Winter Eggs.

For the man who can find method
n producing fresh winter eggs at
moderate cost there is a fortune wait
Ing. w. Il. Robinson Of West Derby,
VT, has found a way. Read what he
says: 'iIn looking over the record of
our hens for the past six months, we
find the production of eggs per hen
far exceeds any previous year, this
too in the face of the very severe and
long continued cold weather of Janu-
airy, February, and March. Now
Honor to whom honor is due We at
tribute this very gratifying gain IN
eggs to the daily use of Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food. We have neysi
used it so faithfully before and never
before had so satisfactory a winter
yield. We intend TO somewhat more
than double our present flock of hens
this season and you may rest assured
our orders for poultry food will be
increased in like proportion"

trout, steelhead trout, lake trout,
landlocked salmon or longe in any

eyed pike, perch and pickerel are
protected between Nov. Ist and May
Ist. White perch and muskallonge

for gain or hire.
Section 7 relates to posted streams
and obliges owners to stock such
streams with one thousand fry or
three hundred fingerlings each year
in order to make prohibited fishing
legal.
Various sections conflicting here
with are repealed and the act takes
effect an. ISt, 1905.

GIRL BURNED TO DEATH

The three-years-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. F. Nc Jannett of
Montpelier, was SO badly burned
Saturday afternoon that she died
Sunday. She had been left with
her little brother George at play in
the kitchen and it is supposed that
she stuck newspaper through the
draft in the stove and that her hair
and clothing caught fire from this.
Her mother heard the screams and
rushing in smothered the fire with
a coat that was hanging in the
kitchen but not until the child's
head, face, and one side of her
body was so severely burned that
she failed to rally from the shock.
Two years ago the little boy George
was so badly scalded by falling
into pail Of boiling water that he
almost died.
