A. M. Wright of Auburndale, principal
owner in a tract of 10000 acres or more
of timberland in the southern part of this
state, was in Brattleboro this week. He
said he did not see much prospect that
the Grand Trunk or Central Vermont peo-
pie would build a branch line from the
West River road to the timber area. The
Rutland Railroad company is ready and
willing to build road from the other side
of the mountain range, provided the tim
Der owners will give them the business of
transporting the timber, although the
cost of construction would be much
greater than to tap the area from the
east side Mr. Wright intimated that an
Independent company might be organized
to go from the east side, although nothing
definite in that regard has been con-
idered.
