WILL ASK FOR HEARING
Lumbermen Will Appeal to State
Railroad Commissioners
Lumber Valued at $25o,ooo is Piled Up
Awaiting Shipment - Small Amount
Handled This Winter.

The recently organized West River Val
ley Lumbermen's association has taken
prompt and decisive action to compel
the Central Vermont railroad to better
shipping conditions on the West River
railroad A petition has been prepared
by States Attorney Robert G, Bacon and
Judge Ernest w. Gibson asking that the
state board Of railroad commissioners APP
point a hearing. This petition outlines
the conditions which the lumbermen claim
to exist on the West River road and asks
for state aid in compelling the better
ment Of shipping facilities. The petit
ion will be filed in a few days and II is
hoped that a hearing will be set for an
early date.
This decisive action was the result of
an all-day meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the lumbermen's association
held in the Brooks House last Saturday
From TO-. 80 o'clock in the morning until
nearly night the committee considered the
problem of securing better shipping ia
cilities and unanimously decided that the
most effective way would be an immedi-
ate appeal to the railroad commissioners
The necessity for prompt action lies in
the fact that about $3.50, 900 worth of
lumber is piled up ready for shipment and
more is being produced each day.
The statement concerning the Central
Vermont railroad published last week was
considered by the executive committee in
detail but 1t was decided to ignore it in
planning their campaign. The statement
to the effect that 60-pound rails would
be laid beween Brattleboro and West
Dummerston thereby enabling wheeler
mogul engines to be run over the road
did not impress them much, as they felt
that the difficulty in running the big
| engines was not in the rails but in the
| short curves which were all right for the
old narrow gauge but were too short for
| the sitter siX-wheeler engines to take
| safely.
Neither did the statement that SOC
| cars of lumber had been moved since
intentions of the Central Vermont road
In their behalf This is about four cars
day or $4,000 feet of lumber each day
| figuring a car of lumber as containing an
average of 49, 900 feet The inadequacy
of this rate of shipment is manifest when
the fact that the Gallup Lumber company
and the Jamaica Lumber company alone
produce 10000 feet a day is taken into
! consideration. They are only two of the
80 lumber shippers along the road.
| The demand of the lumbeTmen is not
| alone for more power to move freight but
longer sidings on which to load cars The
! statement of the Central Vermont rail-
road officials indicated that this matter
| would be attended to but the lumbermer
did not profess much faith in the state,
ment in any particular and preferred L
take steps toward compelling the railroad
to make the changes rather than trust t
its disposition to make them of its owl
free will

NEW FISH AND GAME LEAGUE.
Watch Out for Illegal Catching Of
Bass in spofford Lake.

An organization has been formed, I'M
der the name of Cheshire county fish
and game protection league, which
should be an important factor in put
ting down some OF the unlawful hunting
and fishing which has been practiced for
a long time The officers chosen are all
Of Keene and are as follows President
DR.. II. r. Beals; secretary. o. +. Cain
and treasurer. DR.. Beals, Mr. Cain, Dr.
b. c. Russell, F. p. Beedle and F. H.
wilkins are the executive committee.
There are already a good many members
in the newly-formed league and it is pro-
posed to extend the membership to in
clude reliable men in all Of the towns in
the county Detectives will be appointed
in each town to report any violations Of
the fish and game laws. The benefit
from such a systematic method is sure
to be felt. The open season on brook
trout begins April l and II is n definite
purpose of the league to put a stop to the
practice of catching and killing small
trout much under the size allowed by law.
At Spofford lake it is commonly believed
that it is the custom of several persons
to catch large numbers of large bass off
the spawning beds before the open sea-
son begins. During the spawning sea-
son. by dropping a hook over the bed a
man can catch in a day a string of bass
that would be a satisfactory season s
work. This particular violation undoubt-
eddy will be carefully looked after during
the coming season The unlawful shoot
ing Of deer will also be carefully looked
after.

Hale Rose their only child, passed away
The young man was 10 years of age and
had been i'll but three weeks with cerebral
meningitis and although he suffered sew
eral operations and had all the attention
that loving care and great skill could
prompt, his life could not be saved
Hale Rose came to Dayton with his
parents about four years ago from Syr-
acuse, N. Y, and during this short time
endeared himself to his teachers and to
his friends both old and young, his many
fine, manly qualities making him a young
lad of unusual promise. He was in his
first year at the high school and previous
~ had been a student at Central district
school and his teachers unite in their
praise of his splendid ability and his stu
dous disposition. He was a communi-
can't of Christ Episcopal church and a

the Y NJ c. A. he was also prominent
and a general favorite among his fell

OVER THREE MILLION STATIONS.
Extent Of the Business Of the Amer
lean Telephone & TeIearaph Co.

President Frederick P. Fish in the an
nual report of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company which has
just been issued shows that the Bell
telephone companies had a total Of g.
O6S,s33 telephone stations in the
United States at the end OF the year
1906 as against 2.52S,715 stations at the
close Of 1905. There were in use, for
exchange and toll service, 7,46S,9 05 miles
of wire of which 1855 miles were
added during the year, these figures not
including the mileage of wire operated
by sub-licensee companies. In 1906 the
Bell companies handled a daily average
of 6,940, 900 connections, or at the rate
of about 5,455 00O, 900 per year, being 81
telephone calls for each man, woman
and child in the United States; for new
construction, including exchanges, toll
lines, land and buildings $79, Sc, 949 as
against $50, $50, 900 in 1905. The grand
total of expenditures upon the properties
during the seven years beginning with
1900 has been S29S, 914, 255. During the
year the Bell companies in the United
States offset the depreciation which
would otherwise have taken place in
the value of the lines and equipment by
expanding $32,S14,56S for maintenance
and renewal of plant. This expenditure
was Independent of that for new con-
struction.

A Word Regarding Trout.

l wish to say a word in behalf of the
Wndham County Fish and Game Pro-
tective association. There seems TO be a
misunderstanding regarding the dispo-
sition and distribution of trout i'm local
streams by the association. The associ-
alton intends to distribute so 900 finger
lngs in Windham county but these trout
are all to go in public waters which will
be free to any one to fish These trout
cannot be used by private parties, who
wish to stock brooks and then post them
against fishing or put into brooks which
are already stocked and posted. The OBJ
ject Of this association is the preserva-
ton and propagation of fish and game in
Windham county, to procure and enforce
suitable laws for the protection and pres
ervation of fish. game and song birds, and
not the stocking of streams and ponds by
private parties for private use or for the
use Of the association, but for the good of
all who wish to fish and hunt and the
public at large.

"Mother" Eddy's Husband Was a Resi-
dent Of South Londonderry.

The crisis in the affairs of Mrs. Mary
Baker G. Eddy, the founder of Christian
science, has brought to light bit of fam
lily history which is of interest to the
people of this county. Asa c. Eddy, Mrs.
Eddys second husband, was at one time,
some 45 years ago, a resident of South
Londonderry He was known, and is re-
membered, by the people of that village
as Gilbert Eddy. His farm was located
about two miles from the village, and it is
now owned by Martin Huntley and Sim
con Cobb, who bought it of Stephen
Houghton. Mr.. Houghton received his
deed from Mr.. Eddy. Mr.. Houghton is
now living near the village. Mr.. Eddy
was a suave gentleman of somewhat
striking appearance, allowing his hair
to grow long and curling the ends under
toward his neck. He moved from South
Londonderry to Springfield, VT The farm
is still known as the Eddy farm, and a
bridge across a small stream which flows
past the farm is referred to as the Eddy
bridge. -[Bratteboro letter in Springfield

When the Fishing Season BEGINS.

Judging from items current in the YER
mont newspapers there seems to be mis-
understanding as to the date on which the
open season for trout begins 1t Will be
seen from the paragraph given below,
taken from the act passed at the last
session of the Legislature, that as to
brooks and streams the season opens May
Is, while as to ponds and lakes it opens
May /
"a person who takes or catches a brook
trout, golden trout, rainbow trout, steel
head trout, lake trout, landlocked salmon
or longe, in any brook or stream in this
state or has in his possession any such
fish, so taken or caught, between the fif-
teenth day of August and the fifteenth
day of May following, or in any of the
ponds or lakes in this state, between the
first day of September and the first day
of May following, shall be fined not less
than one dollar nor more than ten dollars
for each fish so taken, caught or possess
ed but the provisions of this section shall
not apply to trout Matched artifcially OF

Prisoners Poor Workers.

F. E. Davis, who has charge of the
county Jail in Newfane, is somewhat
skeptical as to the advantage of obliging
the prisoners to work in order to pay for
their keeping In discussing the subject
in Brattleboro this week Jailor Davis
said: The prisoners don't earn their
salt. They know they are not going to
get anything for their labor and they
move so slowly that they do not accom-
plish scarcely anything. And besides
that they know practically nothing about
the kind of work we have for them to do,
such as chopping in the woods and build
ing highways We have to guard against
their escape, but as only tramps and
those under short sentence for intoxica-
ton or disturbing the peace are required
to work none of them try to get away

Bellows Falls congratulates Brattleboro
on its assurance of growth in population
and commercial prosperity. With a dam
across the Connecticut river developing
an electrical current of 1900 horse power
the metropolis of Windham county faces
it's golden opportunity. 1t really looks as
though Brattleboro might develop into
something more than a nursery for office
holders. Brattleboro has a population Of
5000; if it half grasps the present oppor-

new bridges, new manufacturing plants, a
tremendous boom in real estate, daily
