number of machines seen on the street
was larger than at any previous time
this season. A. D. Wyatt was busy
getting the hang of his new Fey
Ford. which he recently bought Of
Manlev brothers. and John b. Manley
was out with another machine of the
same model. L. d. Taylor was out
with his Grout touring ear, and IN the
afternoon he ran through mudhole
so fast that he broke one of the front
springs of the machine. A. b. Clapp,
who has ordered Grout and Cadlilac
runabout this year, mired ms last
wear s Cadillac in hole beyond West
Brattleboro, and was obliged to get as
sistance before he could continue ms
tourney. A. p Simonds and Louis
Whitney started out in Stanley
steamer which the latter has ,pur-
chased. and had to be towed in from
the Putney road on account of an acci-
dent to the boiler. Dennison CoWies

Town Road Commissioners Advised.

In recent letter to town road commas
sioners, State Highway Commissioner Gates
presented the following general suggestions
on road building Give drainage your first
attention. don't build gravel roads on soils
that break up badly in the spring without
draining the foundations before applying the
gravel; don't use poor material; use wide
tired wagons and carts, they act as rollers
and help build the road; use the road ma,
chine often after a rain to smooth ana
properly crown your gravel roads until the
road is firm and hard and free from ruts
and depressions expend as much town
money in permanent work as possible ana
report it all in your claim blank He closed
by reminding the commissioners that they
were elected to build and care for the roads
of their town and warned them not to accept
the office without realizing something OF the
responsibility resting upon them and the OPP
portunity given them.

FREIGHT RATES ARE UNEQUAL.
West River Railroad Shippers Are Dis
satisfied With Company's Charges.

People who ship lumber over the
West River railroad believe that the
freight rates in force on this division
of the Central Vermont road are I'M
inst. and a determined effort has been
made TO have the schedule revised.
Thus far, however, the effort has met
with no success. although petition
signed by all the lumber shippers on
the line was recently sent to the man
agement of the railroad coRpany. The
rate on sawed lumber is five cents a
hundred pounds, on chair stock SIX
and a half cents, and on bark seven
cents. These rates were made when
the road was narrow gauge, and the
prices on chair stock and bark were
higher, probably, on account of the
extra labor necessary in transferring
from narrow gauge to standard gauge
cars. But with the necessity of trans
ferring entirely obviated, The shippers
feel that the rates on all three classes
of freight should be the same.
The attitude of the Central Vermont
on matters of this kind is annoying
not only to those who use the road for
shipping purposes but TO all persons
who are interested III tut u'''i"l
of Brattleboro and the surrounding
country. With the immense timber
tracts in the northern part of the
county. and the amount of lumber that
is cut from them every year, there is
no reason why this town should not
become large woodworking center,
proyided suitable railroad facilities
and reasonable railroad rates are to be
had. It is admitted by all that the ia
cilities afforded by the broad gauge
between here and Londonderry are a
great improvement over those OF the
old narrow gauge, but there are stu
numerous matters on which the atti-
tude of the railroad company is IN no
way conducive to industrial develop
ment. The only thing which prevented
the Parker, Young company erecting a
large piano sounding board factory IN
Brattleboro two years ago was tine
railroad company's lack of co-opera-
ton. Chances to increase Brattleboro $
population by several hundred do not
grow on every bush, and when they
are obliged to go unplucked for such
n reason it's time pressure was
brought to bear.

Absent Minded DR.. Crothers.

Dr. Samuel NJ. Crothers, pastor OF
the First Baptist church of Cambridge,
and author of The Gentle Reader,
acknowledges that he is sometimes abb
sent minded, but says that many
stories of this failing of his are told
which he cannot c0rrohorate. Here Is
one, however, which he tells himself;
He had been invited to dine with some
acduaintances, and accepted the invl-
tation very cordially, He wrote the
date in his note book, and when the
evening arrived set out from his home
for the dinner party. lie remembered
the street he was going to, but when
he had almost reached it remembered
to his dsmay that he had forgotten
the number.
"That's all right he said to him
self, ''for it S a short street, and ! can
inquire of any one
lie started to go up the steps of a
house to get his host s address, when 1t
came over him suddenly that he had
forgotten the name of the people with
whom he was to dine. He was utterly
nonplussed at this, and standing on the
sidewalk racked his memory in vain,
but the name refused to come to him.
81 guess it would look rather odd
if | should 90 from house to house and
ask if DR.. Crothers was expected to
dine there he mused. He noticed
that it was growing dark, and that the
lights in the houses were being lighted,
but the shades not closed. Then he
had an inspiration. He would walk up
and down the street, he decided, and
look into the windows until he should
see familiar face. He did so, and
finally reached house where they
seemed to be looking for him, and in
a minute he was busy apologizing to
his host for being late.-Boston Rec
