neutrality-suspicious..

A wedding of much interest to the
younger people Of Brattleboro occurred

Mrs. Theodore Turner OF Elliot street,
was married to Dr.. Richard A. McGil-

Their Michael ]. Carmody, the nuptial

were present, including about rs from
out of town.
The church was profusely decorated
with palms and hydrangeas and the bridal
couple stood beneath an arch of hydran-
geas. The bride was dressed in a gown
Of white French yelling over tateta trim
med with Irish point lace and wore a
white picture hat trimmed with white
marrabout feathers. She carried white
prayer book. She was attended by her
niece Miss Loretta ]. Turner, as brides
maid, who wore pale blue mousseline de

The Governors STAR.

No respectable and venerated institu-
ton, widowed with the accretions of
generations of official pomposity is safe
from the rabid iconoclasts who are bent
on achieving a new Vermont. Once more
the governors stan is the butt of ribald
jeers and blasphemous boots. Sirs, the
governors stan is a venerable and sacred
thing, as much so as the canonized cod
fish of Massachusetts,. We could no more
do without it than without the buttons on
a spiketailed dress coat. 1t is as nee
essary as the parsley wherewith a steak Is
garnished, or a perambulator in con-
vent. Without 1t how could a ship be
launched, the poletariat handled at a
governors reception or an inaugural ball
be given. Pause and reflect.

"Unele GIL" Inaraham, Noted Horse
Trainer, Father Of 5rattleboro Man.


Gilman B. Ingraham. known to horse
men far and wide as Uncle Gill;" died
at his home in Camden, Maine, Sept. 70,
aged nearly 70 years. To those who knew
him in the sulky, driving a trotter in one
of the races at Camden no longer ago
than July 4, his sudden death was a sur
prise. Mr.. Iugraham is survived by
two daughters. Mrs. E. e. Rokes and
and Mrs. Mary Howard OF Camden, and
one son, w. S. Ingraham Of Brattleboro.
Mr.. Ingraham ives born in Montville,
Waldo county, Maine. When about IA
years of age he came to Rockport, Three
years later he moved to the farm at West
Rockport, where he spent the most Of his
long and busy lifo. Five years ago he
moved to the place in Camden where he
died.
When about 10 Mr.. Ingraham drove his
first race, which was to saddle and over
a straightaway town road. He was in
the milk business some years at West
Rockport, and on his farm at that time
was kept one Of the best herds of cows
in town.
Fond Of horses, he sold out his milk
business and started in on a small scale
the breeding, training and racing Of
horses He built good half mile track
on his farm and many closely contested
races were seen there. Many Of tile best
horses ana drivers from all parts OF the
state came to these meetings.
Mr.. Ingraham bred the bay marc Lady
Anderson and gave her a record Of ESQ,
which was considered fast IS years ago.
Later he raced the chestnut pacing gelding
Ganymede several seasons. Ganymede
was a consistent racehorse, and while
Mr.. Ingraham owned him he was never
behind the money in a race. His record
when he was sold by Mr.. Ingraham was
28X but this WAS reduced TO liz
after he left Maine. Mr.. Ingraham bred
the gray stallion Cashier, 2.25h, by Nell
son, 2.09. The gray gSlding Quad, also
owned by Mr.. Ingraham, had a reputa-

The Vermont Ide a For
SAVINGS Banks

The Ludlow Tribune thinks that the
idea of Savings banks keeping Yer
mont money at home will appeal to
Vermonters. In commenting on this
particular feature of the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany of Hyde Park, it says:
Last Thursday this bank passed the million
dollar mark in its assets-and not a single
cent of it invested outside of Vermont. So
distinctively a Vermont favor naturally ap-
peals to the taste of Vermonters, because it
smacks Of level headed management and a
safety which Is quite assuring. ConEratula-
tons are certainly In order.

the former desert known as Imperial

Two years ago through faulty engi-
neering the river broke from control,
flowing through what had been dry
channels known as New and Alamo
rivers to Salton sink and forming Sal
ton sea. esq
| In their course the rivers widened
and about 1000 acres OF cultivated
land, with three farm cottages were
destroyed, with several thousand more
acres Of unoccupied public land which
would have been OF value at some
time.
The lowest farm in Imperial valley
| lis 124 feet below sea level. The pres
Ient levi Of Salton sea is 200 feet be-
low sea level It would have been ne
cessary for the water to rise rs feet
more, requiring five or six years of
uninterrupted flow, to cover the lowest
farm.
4 statements that farms and towns
have been submerged are untrue. One
farm cottage remote from other settle
ments on undeveloped land. was sub
merged, and that Is the only case OF
the kind.
1T was not what the water did, but
what it threatened TO do, that made
the need for the control Of the river
imperative. There was danger that it
would cut channel SO deep that irri-
cation water could not be obtained.
That danger fortunately is at an end.

w hat Is the
Remedy


satisfied with the railroad situation In
the United States today. Hardly a
B day passes that the public mind is
not shocked by the heartrending de-
4 tails of some appalling wreck. The
4 narrowing tales Of whole communities
freezing for want Of coal in the north
west have increased the sympathetic
\ indignation Of a humane people. The
farmer, the lumberman, the manufac-.
B turer are loud in their protests Of in
adequate service and resulting damage
] from the car shortage.
Not one citizen in a thousand has
enough information as to the exact
! facts to enable him to form a correct
Judgment of the cause Of the tremen-
dous evils that he sees before him, or
/ how to go about 1t to remedy them.
The railroads themselves are chiefly
to blame for this prejudice and ignor-
ance of facts on the part Of the peo-
pie, and for the infamed condition Of
the public mind against all railroads,
without discrimination 3,s
There are notable exceptions, but it
! is unfortunately too true that there
are many railway managers who have
yet to learn the right relation between
public service corporation and the,
people at large who chartered It for.
that purpose The shortsighted and
& utterly blind and unreasoning obtuse-
ness with which some railroad Off.
Gals ignore fundamental, right prin-
ciples of railroad management, and
disregard and affront public senti-
ment, enormously aggravates the evil
conditions from which the people are
now suffering, and from which the
railroads and their owners will newt
ably suffer still more seriously il these.
conditions are to remain unchanged
There are two very distinct unfortu-
nate results from the existing situa-
ton: First, it stimulates the prevail
ing tendency to imagine that the REM
edy for all our troubles lies In an APP
peal to politics or politicians and,
\ second. it creates popular discontenb
and agitation which operates to pre-
vent the railroads from accomplishing
the one thing first needed to create
\ better railroad conditions, and that is
the disposition Of the necessary stock
d and bonds to raise the enormous
amount Of capital required to con-
strlct the additional mileage Of tracks
and terminal facilities and to procure
the new equipment. motive power and
rolling stock necessary to keep pace
with the develop of the country
and the correspo ndingly increased
s freight and passenger traffic.
It would not be difficult to establish
right relations between the railroads
and the people il all railway man
ayers would recognize the controlling
force of one memorable law as q guide
" in all railroad operation and manage
ment, and that law is:
That the most valuable asset any
railroad can have is the good will Of
h the public that 1t serves. and that the
best service that can be rendered to
railroad stockholders by the managers
Of railroads is to gain and preserve
that goodwill by SO operating the
railroads as to thoroughly deserve 1t.
