Trotting Doe.
John North, a Tyson farmer, has
challenged the local trotters, match
ing up his trotting doe for mile heats
on the ice at Echo lake. North has
broken the doe to drive to sulky
and hopes to do a mile in 2:10 or bet =
ter. North caught the animal year
ago but the game warden compelled
him to release it. The animal per-
sisted, however, in returning to the
house. In course of time the doe at
tanned it's growth, became hardened,
and North conceived the idea of
breaking it to harness. The doe has
developed great speed. On a level
stretch, it is said, she has made mile
in 2:21 and as a runner, her natural
gait, the animal has made much bet
ter time, but North has laboriously
trained her for a trotter.

Reports from all over the state in
dictate that business during the year
1908 is far below what it was in 1902
and this condition of affairs is not at
all pleasing to the people of Vermont.
Some of this depression can properly
be accounted for by the large amount
Of political transactions that are
always present during a campaign
year, but there are other causes,
which if they are not removed will
produce a continuance of the present
situation. The greatest evil that
exists in our state is the practice of
the people in sending their money di-
rectly or directly abroad and not
patronizing home enter prises and in
dustries. The people do not seem to
realize that it is very essential for the
welfare and prosperity of the state
that they should in all cases, when
ever possible, spend their money at
home and assist the farmers, the mer-
chants and the manufacturers in hav-
ing a ready market for their goods.
The old principle of making one hand
wash the other is just as essential to-
day as it was a century ago and I'M
less the people of this state change
their methods the depression of bust
ness will increase in a marked degree
during the coming year. The amount
Of money which is sent out of our
state annually to purchase goods that
could just as we'll be obtained at home
isstupendous and every dollar that is
sent away in6icts double injury upon
our local interests. If it were possible
for the people to obtain good bar
gains by trading abroad, there would
be some excuse for their actions, but
1t Is geneI ally the case that they pay
more and receive inferior goods and
have but little chance of redress for
damages that are often inflicted. 1t
is necessary for the interest of our
state that some action be Immediate
ly taken to stop this outpour of
money away from home and the duty
naturally falls upon the press of Ver-
mont and the State Grange. Both of
these organizations can be of great
advantage to our state if they will
take immediate action by educating
the public to the folly of sending their
money abroad and the necessity of
trading at home.-Enterprise & Yer
moEter.

BARTON'S PROSPERITY,
VILLAGE OF BARTON LANDING.

1t is not because of any inclination
to brag and boast that we set up our
village of Barton Landing as an exam
pie which other Vermont towns and
villages might well follow. Some
really meritorious things have been
done here during the past five years,
yet nothing which other towns and
villages with like advantages might
not do if their people had the same
spirit of progress and local pride.
Ten years ago Barton Landing was
as dull and as we'll contented with
itself as any country village. To be
sure it had an excellent water system,
but it had required vast amount of
work on the part of the valiant to
bring it about. 1t numbered among it's
inhabitants and voters many chronic
kickers who were opposed to every
progressive undertaking which might
temporarily bring on an increase in
taxes. AS a municipality it had
moved neither backward nor for
word in many years. But within
the past decade, and even within the
past five years, it's older inhabitants
and business men have in measure
been replaced by younger genera
tlon, whose enterprise and interest in
the village has added thousands of
dollars to the value of property with
in the village limits. The property
holders have come to see that perma-
nent growth and industry within any
village increases the value of every
body's property and therefore in
creases the total grand list of the vii
iage and a corresponding decrease in
the per cent. of tax raised So during
the past few years the majority of the
voters here have been in favor of i'm
proving the condition of the VILLAGE
multiplying its advantages. and re-
moving its disadvantages and maxine
it withal desirable place in which To
live.
The present promising outlook for
| the village is in some measure due to
the fact that its affairs are now in
control of young men who are pos
| sessed of modern ideas, and the older
genera zion who preferred talleW dips
instead of electric lights is now in the
minority. There is plenty of money
in circulation but it is handled by men
nearly all of whom are under fifty
years of age. This money Is kept in
circulation and instances of boarded
wealth are very rare. We have no
place for misers. Barton landings
talents have been kept out of the
ground and have been made to earn
other talents, some a hundredfold
and some fifty. In this respect, We
believe that Barton Landing leads
any other village in northern YER
mont according to population, for
during the past year more than mill
hon and half dollars has changed
hands here in the regular course of
business. We have many men who
are worth ten thousand dollars. sew
eral who are worth twentv-fve
thousand, some who are worth fftv
thousand and a few who arc 81,
from one to two hundred thousand
dollars each.
Nearly every one of these Wealth.
men is interested in the growth and
prosperity of the village, and to them
in large measure is due, its present
fiourishing condition. The pure
spring water system has replaced the
old hand pump and brook; more than
mile and q half o: concrete side
walks have replaced the old dirt

EIGHT Miles Of Tunnel.

Eight miles of tunnel VI 0 % be
bored through the heart of the Sierra
Nevada mountains by the Southern
Pacific. The object Of this gigantic
undertaking is to shorten the line by
forty miles and to lessen the grade
about 1000 feet. It is estimated that
the cost will be over 5000, 900. There
are to be five tunnels in all, the main
one FIVE miles in length. On account
of the long stretch, 1t will be impos-
sible to use coal engines for the haul

apt to accumulate. Electric or COM

substituted for the steam.
