In the history of Bellows Falls there
have been numerous attempts to estab-
lish effective boards Of trade which were
unsuccessful until the formation Of the
present organization, for which a prelim-
mary gathering of SO business men met
in Banquet hail on the evening of Sep
TENDER 20, 1901. The organization was
perfected November IS, 1901, by the adop-
ton Of constitution and the election OF
the following officers: President, j. c.
Day; vice president H. D. Ryder; secre-
tary, Geo. r. Wales; treasurer, Carroll
A. Moore; directors, Rev. Alfred Ham
matt Geo. II. Babbitt, NJ. F. Davis, j.
]. Fenton and j. c. Denison.
Mr. Day has remained president from
the start, and to his energetic and ag-
gressive work is due in a large measure
the success attained by the organization.
Semi annual meetings have been held at
which some noted speaker has been a
feature of interest, and either a lunch or
banquet has been served. The board of
directors, divided into committees for
various purposes, have held frequent
meetings and many marked improve
ments about the village have resulted,
together with the establishment of some
new industries.
Among the improvements are those
about the railroad yard and rebuilding
the station. The agitation of this matter,
with complaint of the local facilities TO
the railroad commissioners, coupled with
their admission that they had no power
to act, brought about a change in the
state law giving that commission greater
power. This was effected through the
labor of the town representative, George
B. Wheeler. Through the village i'm
provement committee many unsightly
places have been cleaned up, and flower
beds have appeared each year at the in
tersection of streets. For this purpose
the board has appropriated from 800
to $3.50 annually.
The new industries committee has been
successful in inducing two manufactures
to locate here, Simons, Hatch a Whit
tens overall factory and the Bogart &
Hopper Manufacturing Co. box manufac-
turers, the two industries employing about
eighty people
The present officers of the board are
President, j. c. Day; vice president, H
d. Ryder; secretary, T. E. O'Brien;
treasurer, A, II. Chandler: directors, j.
c. Day, G. b. Wheeler, c. w. Osgood, A.

The death of DR.. John NJ. Harlow in his
oIth year IN Wobun, Mass, Monday re-
cans an event that occurred in Mt Holly

To Abolish Crossings In North waIpoIe

To Abolish Crossings In North WaIpole.
A large amount of interest was evinced
last week in the hearing in North Wal
pole over the question of further abolish
ing railroad crossings in that village
The New Hampshire railroad commits
sioners held the meeting, and accom-
panied by a large number of citizens
went over the ground with the civil en-
gineers and officers of the road The
plans are for steel bridge to carry the
highway, from a point near the top of
Potash HILL" south of the toll bridge
over all the tracks of the yard to near
the top of the hill north of the toll bridge;
disseminating the two crossings. The
length of the bridge would be nearly
500 feet. A team crossing the toll bridge
and wishing to go toward Charlestown
would have to go south first some rods
to get to this bridge. After going over
the hill thus reached by the bridge, the
street would keep to the right of the
tracks, and at a point nearly in front
of the Minis homestead 1t would be high
enough to swing over the tracks by other
bridges toward the west, thus doing away
with three crossings, those Of Beech,
River and Main streets. Some of the
proposed changes are meeting with stub
born opposition by the town of Walpole,
and particularly by those living in North
Walpole they being represented by At
torneys Sueeter e. Hollis of Concord
and T. e. OBrien of Bellows Falls
Much evidence was taken upon both sides,
and the hearing was adjourned to June 5,
when 1t will be continued at Concord, the
town then to have some definite substi-

Conductor Charged with Selling Tickets.


Action was brought Tuesday by the
states attorney against Conductor George
A. Bowtell of the Boston & Maine road,
charging him with having sold tickets
taken up by him upon his train between
here and Boston. Justice A p. Carpenter
of Brattleboro came here and held a
hearing, in which Mr.. Bowtell plead not
guilty but was held in the sum of $1,000
for appearance at county court Mr..
Bowtell has run many years between
here and Boston, leaving here at 2.3O a, m.
and returning at $50 a. m, He is a son
of the late George L. Bowtell, the vet
eran passenger engineer over the same
route. and has lived here during the most
of his life. The tickets in question were
principally those from Bellows Falls to
Boston, and were found in the hands of
dealers. The talk upon the street seems
to be all one sided at present, but the
wise way would be to suspend judgment
until both sides have been heard.

Worlds Largest smokestack

Ten thousand tons of concrete is be- ing used in tho foundation for the 506- foot smokestack in course of construc- tion by the Boston & Montana Mining company at Indian Point, just across the river from Great Falls, Mont. When completed the stack will be the largest in the world, having diameter of fifty feet inside at the top.
 Under charge of Chief Engineer Scotten of the Boston & Montana com pany in this city, the work of making the foundation has been started, and the great concrete mixer is pouring 250 tons of the mixed article daily into the great hole which marks the foundation of the big stack.
 The building company agreed to have the stack ready for turning back to the smelter company November l of this year, but it is not certain that the work will be completed in the time originally specified.
 Although the foundation lies in sight of the city and within few minutes of the street car line, but few people have seen the starter for the big stack, or realize its proportions.
 One of the necessities for the build. ing of the big stack was the building of railroad to the top of the hill for the bringing up of supplies, which was not completed until few weeks since. The new road, with it's branches, is about four miles in length.
 The stack will be the highest struc- ture of similar kind in the world, ex- cept the Eiffel tower in Paris and the Washington monument in the nation s

Coin That Will Come From the New Bullion Tax Chinese Claim Es- tate of a Fellow Countryman Who Died in Clifton.

SOLOMONvILLE, September 14.- Grahem county will receive $54,00C from the mines under the new bullion tax law. This is exclusive of the tax upon the surface property of the various companies. The law makes the county a partner of the mines, and if copper should go to low price the taxes would suffer.
 A few years ago Chinaman at Cliff ton died and when his estate was closed up there was $209 unclaimed and turned into the county treasury. Now Chi nese relatives claim the money and it will have to be paid to them. The man s name was Charley Ring Mong.
