IN RELATION TO HIGHWAYS.
Resolutions Adopted by Windham
County Good Roads Association.

Be il resolved by the Windham
County Good Roads association
We commend the Legislature of l9oo
for its efficient and progressive work
in the interest of better roads, and we
recommend a regular increase in state
appropriations for permanent high
ways.
we commend the state highway
commissioner and the Windham coun-
ty supervisor of highways for their
most noble administration of Their re-
spective offices, and we are pleased to
note the good work done under their
direction in many parts of this coun'
tv. the results of which are more ap,
parent each year; and we urge all
towns to cooperate more fully Win
these officers whose efficiency and
competency have been most satistac'
torily demonstrated.
We recommend increased approprla'
tions by towns for temporary repairs,
and urge all towns to take advantage
of Act No. Ill, Laws of 1906, whlcn
provides that towns raising from 500
TO 5000 for permanent road work IN
addition to the usual tax shall receive
an equal amount from the state treas
ury. 49,.
We urge the greatest care in the
selection of road commissioners, the re-
tention of those tried servants whose
worth has been proved, and the speedy
retirement of all those whose lack OF
capacity to fill the position has been
conclusively shown.
We recommend the widening OF the
country roads, especially the man
tboroughfares, and most heartily con-
denim the frequent practice or EN-
croacbing upon the highways by bulid,
ING fences, setting fruit trees, and
erecting mail posts and telephone
poles so close to the line of travel as
TO menace the safety of the traveller
bv night or day.
We also condemn the practice of al
lowing horses and cattle to roam at
will in the highways, and urge great
or vigilance on the part of local ON
GERS to prevent this nuisance.
We believe that the day OF wooden
BRIDGES is past, and recommend the
stone or concrete arch in all places Oh
short span as being the most perma
nent and economical bridge possible
of construction.
We urge the use of wider tires on
all vehicles carrying heavy loads on
our highways. :.;on
We urge more general supervision
and enlargement of the powers OF
state and county highway officers. :,
We recommend that the state board
of agriculture engage men competent mt
70 instruct the people on scientific and
nractical road building, and that such
instruction be furnished to every com
munity in the state in the near future
We urge the increase of member .h
shin in this association, and the
hearty cooperation of all persons IN
terested in better roads, whether as
avenues for pleasure, travel or as es,
sentials to economical transportation
and real, permanent, public progress

The Baptist Bible Schools Christmas.

The Christmas exercises of the First
Baptist Bible school were held Mon
day evening. A supper was given to
the primary and intermediate depart
ments in the social rooms of the
church, about $50 partaking. This
was considered very remarkable IN
view of the storm and the very bad
condition of the walks. After the
supper all of the classes of the school
assembled in the chapel and brought
their gifts for distribution. These con
sisted of large quantities of flour, po-
tatoes with various groceries and veg
etables in great abundance. Each
class in bringing its gift had some
specially pertinent verse, song or
scripture quotation so that the inter
est was maintained to the close.
After the platform and adjacent ia
bles were all covered with gifts an
entertainment was given by the emil
dren, consisting of Rotations, dla-
logues. etc. all leading up to the adj
vent of Santa Claus who appeared IN
conventional array and distributed
generously the boxes of candy, etc'
Worthy of special mention in the en-
tertainment was the lullaby song by
Ruth Wilder and the four-line recita'
ton by little Julia Simonds, The en-
tertainment concluded with march
supervised by Capt. W. 7. Haigh and
participated in by II young women
dressed in white with red sashes, each
carving beautiful Christmas bell.
On Tuesday a large number of fami'
lies were made happy by the glrts
from the Bible school, their delivery,
occupying nearly all day. About 81 OF
the children of the junior society Wis,
tied the hospital, Home for the AGED
and the town farm in West Brattle,

Sporting NelUs.
ALL-coLLEeIATEs A POOR BUNCH
Brattleboro Had No Difficulty in Max
ing q Total Of 81 Points.

II wasn't Manager Doran's fault
that the much.heralded All'Collegiates
failed to live up TO their reputation
Friday evening, but il was severe
disappointment to the fans who went
to the game with a hope of seeing
something doing. The visitors expect
ed to have Dingle and Wiley of Dart
mouth in their lineup but the boys
from Hanover failed TO put In an APP
pearance, and they were obliged to
get Hal March to complete their team.
With the exception of Crowell, who
played strong game Mt center, March
was the best man ON the visiting team.
The other three showed about as much
knowledge of basketball as a kitten
has of bridge whist.
1t became evident as soon as the
game began that Doran and his men
would have nothing to do to defeat
their opponents. Seven goals were
made by Brattleboro before the Colleg,
iates connected with the basket and
when the first period closed the score
was 90 to 1. And the second was ike
unto the first except that the locals
scored % points instead of 20 while
their opponents were collecting four;
what the score would have been had
the home team really been anxious TO
run it up is matter of conjecture,
but in the third period when the crowd
began to call "make it one hundred
the Doranites let out a notch and
pushed the total to 81 apparently with
out difficulty. Mclaughlin of Shell
burne Falls, who played center for
Brattleboro, was factor in the pass
ing and showed unusual skill in guard
ing. Stafford had a "night on" in
scoring, and Doran as usual was
head,liner in allround play, doing
some clever team work with the assis
lance of Boggio and Ellis. The

ST. JERoMEs COULDN'T CONNECT
But They Played Fast Game Never
theless and Made Brattleboro Hustle.

A score Of 80 to 81 would naturally
suggest a one sided and uninteresting
game but that was not the ease Wed.
nesday evening when the st. Jeromes
of Holyoke. Mass, went up against
the local Athletics and lost by that
margin. Brattleboro s superior ability
to locate the baskets accounted for the
great difference in the score but aside
from this the teams were evenly match
ed and there was something doing ev-
erv minute. The visitors displayed a
good bit of team work and were very
fast on their feet. Had the game tax
en- place on a neutral floor the result
would have been in doubt until the
last minute of play.
At the outset the visitors Gagged the
ball twice in quick succession and then
the score see-sawed upward until 1t
stood ) to 5. At this point Brattle-
boro found itself and the ST Jeromes
seemed to lose its ability to connect,
the period closing with the tally show
ing "a for the Doranites and only
for their opponents. Through the re-
naming periods Brattleboro kept go
ing steadily to the front and though
the visitors worked hard and kept the
home team on the jump they were I'M
able to score often enough TO get any
where near even.
Doran was again high scorer for his
team and could have put his total still
higher had he not wisely refused a
number of chances to shoot in the last
period in order that his team might
get practice in passing. Mclaughlin
was again in the central position and
demonstrated his value in that capac-
ity. Boggio, Stafford and Ellis all
PLAYED well. Hannifan and Connell
did particularly good team work for
the St ,Jeromes while Conner was the
least inaccurate in shooting. The

the great development of the wonder
full power at American Falls. All four
of these companies are owned and
controlled by practically the same
parties, and the consolidation simpli-
fees the management and strengthens
the organization in many ways.
j. H. Brady of this city is presi-
dent and owns practically all the
stock of the Idaho Consolidated Pow
er company, and will devote his time
to the development of the power
plant and the securing of reliable
manufacturing concerns along the
transmission lines of the company.
However, the matter of local BUSH
ness will be turned over entirely to
the superintendent and managers of
the company in the different locali-
ties in which the power is used. This
will relieve Mr.. Brady from the re-
sponsibility and detail work and en-
able him to give more time to his
long cherished plan Of making the
power company one OF the strongest
concerns OF its kind in the state.
Mr.. r. c. Stanford, general super
intedent of the Idaho Consolidated
Power company at Pocatello, makes
the following statement:
"In a new enterprise Of this mag
nitude and character It is always
necessary to develop the different
properties and learn upon what basas
a reasonable and fair consolidation
can be made, and the purchase of
these properties by the Idaho Consol-
idated Power company was done for
the reason that 1t is necessary to have
one strong and substantial company
showing satisfactory revenue in or
der to properly and most advantage

that we have laying idle.

East Looking TO West.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Reports to
the government from Idaho and all
other western states reveal the abso-
lutely impregnable position OF the
banks there, which with almost no
exception indicate they can loan mon
ey to the east to tide over the strir-
gency, II necessary. When the panic
of 1890-1893 came, the east was A.
nancing the west and hence there
was suffering there. Now, the sit
uation is reversed, with surplus
there available for the east. So
marked is this condition that experts
of the treasury department estimate
that the west is fully able to supply
all the money needed to relieve the
straits of the east. Western farmers
thus have become the bankers of the
nation instead of borrowers.

that is to say. we have today actually
developed $500 electrical horse pow
err, ready for use at any moment. OF
this amount we are using less than
1900 horse power. and have 1000
horse power laying idle for which we
desire to develoy a market. In addi-
ton to this we have/hydraulically de-
veloped power so that at a cost of
less than $4,000 we can set in the
generators necessary to fully develop
1000 additional horse power, which
will give us total of $500 horse pow
er that can be ready for use at any
time within sixty days.
practically Ave thousand of this
horse power belonged to the Idaho
Consolidated Power company before
the consolidation was made, and for
that reason the future development
Of the power plant will be carried on
by the Idaho Consolidated Power
company.
