Deerheld Valley Railroad VIII Go
Through Stratton and Winhall.

Much interest is taken all through
the Dcericld valley in the railroad and
other developments in the upper wa
ters of that river. The PRINCIPAL event
of late has been the opening OF the
new railroad that runs 10 miles back
into the lumber district, from the
mountain mills in the town of Whining
ton, through Searsburg, into the town
of Somerset, TO the foot Of Glaston'
bury mountain. The first log train
was run over This line short time
ago. No passenger trains are run yet,
but they may be put on later.
This line is built by the Deerfeld
Valley Railroad company, in which the
Dcerfeld Lumber company and Con-
necticut Valley Lumber company stock
holders are supposed to be largely in
terested. II is announced that this line
viii be built II miles farther the com
ing season, through the towns of STRAIT
ton and WinhaIl, to Manchester, where
ii will come out on the hills two miles
from and 1000 feet above Manchester
depot on the Rutland railroad, Soon
or or later il is expected that this
line will be continued TO Rutland,
where il would get a connection with
the Delaware Hudson, and tap the
whole length of the great forest tract
through that country.
BY the use of the new line the
Mountain Mills plant Of the Deerfeld
Lumber company is running right
along through the winter. Previously
they had not run in the winter, their
logs being RATED down the river. This
plant turns out about 10000 feet OF
bill timber day.
The enormous timber tract in these
towns is not being slaughtered with
such slight regard to forestry as a few
wears ago. The DeerfeTd Lumber COM
pany have had the advice of govern
ment expert. and are not taking out
trees Of less than eight TO ten inches
on the stump, so that they claim that
thev can keep perpetual supply.
The talk that the parties Interested
in the Deerfield River company who
have bought the Shelbune Falls and
Colrain road, would extend to Jackson
vile. is not heard so much now. lt
is supposed that this company will put
in the bridge over the river at Shell
burne Falls at once but an extension
northward does not look probable at

this question the original Australian
ballot law under which the town holds
its elections requires n majority vote,
but there is doubt among local attor'
news ms TO just how a majority viii bo
determined; that is, whether one can
didate will have TO have more than
half the total number of votes east or
whether the three candidates having a
combined vote greater than thht Tor
the other five will be elected. In any
ease the new law will cause much de-
lay in determining the result since the
entire vote will have 10 be tabulated
as is now done only in the case OF split
ballots.
According to Section 92 Of the acts
of 1906 selcctmen are authorized to ap,
point three fence viewers, a pound
keeper for each pound, one or more
surveyors of wood and inspectors of
lumber and shingles. Heretofore these
offices were elective and the names OF
candidates appeared on the official bal
lot.

acceptance of officers reports the elee'
tion of officers, officers salaries and
appropriations for the Free library,

Article l2 is, ''To see if the town
will vote TO grade the hill and sidewalk
on the east side of the highway known
as the Cemetery Hill highway, and if
so, raise money to defray the expense
of the same. y
Article 13 is, "To see il the town
will vote to improve Vernon street by
cutting down the hill and regarding
it south and to appropriate money
sufficient for meeting the expense of

Article IA relates to the question of
issuing bonds to the amount of $4,000
for the purpose of paying the town s
share of the United States deposit and
the plan is the same as that given in
the Reformer last week.

scARFs IN GREAT VOGUE.
Many Styles Made of Chiffon and
Other Dainty Fabrics.

Time was when the fascinating
scarfs were admired only when seen
in old French prints or pictures OF
southern beauties in early colonial
days. But there are so many styles
of scarfs at present that IL is difficult
to say which is the most attractive.
There are the effectively lowered chif-
fons, the figured silks. the spangled
nets and a dozen other materials, all
soft and light, that give a charming
touch to an already attractive cos.
tune.
The average scarf this year is about
a yard and half in length to three
quarters of yard wide and. although
these dimensions may vary. all scarfs
are now long rather than square. \

LACE OF VARIOUS SORTS.
Wide Choice Is Afforded by the Sea-
sons Materials.

Silk Russian lace. in its inimitable
shade OF silvery ecru, is much used
with the chiffon weight silks and
satin finish silks and crepes. In the
misty, diaphanous tulles and nets the
various silk novelty laces, repousse
lace. or Mechlin are used. Fancy val
enciennes with the weave partly in
imitation of batiste, abounds in
many attractive designs of points,
squares and tabs, both in insertions
and edgings; all-over laces coming to
match. For the simpler cotton frocks,
novelty is the Valenciennes-Vene-
tian lace. which feproduces in light.
ly patterned mesh the beautiful de-
signs of the heavier lace. This lace
is also suitable to combine with India
silk. Torchon appears as the favored
inserting and edging on many of the
washable dresses, and is immensely
smart this year for inserting in linen
suits for children, when outlined by
braiding In cord or soutache.
