PICTURESQUE LAKE MOREY
Named for Man Who Invented First
Steamboat, iris Claimed

Fairlce correspondent writes the
Free Press as follows:
One of the beautiful places OF nature
of which many Burlngt onisns are not
aware is little Lake Morey. nestled
snueglv among the mountains Of eastern
Vermont.
This picturesque lake Is three miles
long and about one mile wide
So far as IS known the first steamboat
ever seen on tho waters OF America was
invented by Captain Samuel MoreY from
whom this lake derives it's name.
He built the boat and engine and with
single companion made his first trip
up the Connecticut river, between Oxford
New Hampshire and Fsirlee. Vt. at
least a years before Fulton's trial trip
in the Clermont mp the Hudson.
Livingston before they invented the
Clermont md was treated with great
cordially and respect until they had
seen all his plans. then sent him home
There is conclusive evidence that Cap
tain Morey went to New York and had
frequent interviews with Fulton and
SHOWED FULTON PLANS.
to make some altera ton in his boat and
when next, he came TO New York. treat
that they had fully acquired the secret
Of his invention.
It is beyond all question that Morev
had launched his boat on the waters OF
Vermont before Fulton had accomplished
the same purpose in New York
II s also a well established fact that
Fulton visited Captain Morov at Fairlee
Vt for the purpose of WITNESSING hts
successful experiment, before he fI-ul-
toni had launched any kind Of n steam
craft upon tho waters. and II can be
shown that Morcy had been engaged in
such experiments for years before 50
that the first practical steamboat ever
seen upon tho waters Of America was
invented by Captain Samuel Moroy, the
father of steam navigation
The original model engine Is now in
possession OF a lady at Lake Morey. And
there also may he seen the mill stone
Of the famous smoke mill which obtained
its motive power from the draft Of a
chimney several hundred feet in length

ing that this had not yet been definite
ly settled and would not be until the
surveys had all been completed, it is
stated that the crossing point will be
25 or 80 miles above Lewiston. This
will take the line into Lewiston in
stead of Charleston.
Mr.. Bancroft also announced ne had
given orders for the running of line
from Boise to a point on the present
line somewhere near Orchard, for the
purpose of determiaiSg whether q
feasible route can be found over which
to bring the line through this city.
The matter was taken up with him
some months ago. He approved the
plan and took it up with Mr.. Harri-
man with the result that the latter
had directed that line be found.
Begin Survey Within Month.
The plan Is to use all the present
uach' put the PdSsehbei loHS oiiu
local freights win be brought through
Boise while the through freight trains
will use the present track eastward
from Nampa to the point where the
new line will start. If suitable lire
can be found the change will be made.
Those familiar with earlier surveys
have no doubt the short line win be
found. This survey is to begin within
a month.
