christian Stability" was the sub
ject Rev. Weir chose for his dis
course, and the discussion of this
subject formed one of the strongest,
most impressive and most convincing
sermons heard in this city In many
months. Many great and startling
thoughts were brought out. and many
a pointed truth was driven home.
The sermon contained a powerful
message to the people and was a
fitting close for a long, successful,
fruitful and faithful administration,
such as Rev. Weir has given in this
city.
Rev. Weir took occasion last ev-
enihg to speak in terms of praise of
the harmony that has at all times
prevailed among the ministerial gem
tlemen of the city. He declared that
his associations with the other local
ministers have been of the most
pleasant nature and will always be
held In fond memory. He spoke ia
an optimistic vein of the city and its
people. and predicted constant i'm
provement in the moral status of the
community.
At the close of the service many |
went forward and bid Rev. Weir
goodbye ard wished him and his |
family happiness and prosperity in
their new home at Lincoln, Neb.
Rev. Weir and family will leave
Wednesday morning.

-. n,s We ooIno to Do About III


........ f.. little to be added in the way
.Htoral comment to the complete
....... ,f the great enterprise of the Con-
...r..t River Power company as told in
- r.y4 columns 1t is a case where
... facts make their own argument. The
....i.l fact is that the industrial de-
..t...o,nt and prosperity of Brattleboro
.r. assured today as they have never
h.., before in the history of the town.
,..f i'm this promise of growth and ma
..,isl benefit Hinsdale and Vernon share
or,auy in proportion to their size and to
.to alyantage which they take of their
opportunity
,rha question is, What are we going to
a, about it?-and the answer is that If
fine auportunity is to mean what it ought
Fl. moan. every man who is alive and is
s,,d for anything is going to take hold
and help i'm every way he can. The man
vro simply sits down expecting golden
fruit to fall into his lap is too selfish to
deserve prosperity. There will be no
business boom, and we don't want one,
but all values will inevitably be strength
enad. and if we all take hold together in
fine right way, and work together on long
lines under wise leadership, we shall see
q permanent and substantial growth such
as has never before been possible
The men who are to furnish the capital
for this enterprise are strong and sue
c.-sful business men who take it up
strictly as a business proposition. They
don't come here to promote" the enter
prise and then abandon it, but to carry it
through as a profitable and permanent
investment. 1t is on this basis that they
wish to meet the business men here in
the local field. So far as opportunity is
afforded them they wish to give the first
advantage to local industries. 1t is not a
question, therefore, of how much any of
us can get out of the enterprise, but of
how much we can all help it along.
1t will be the province of the Brattle-
boro Board of Trade to see how the ad-
yantages which Brattleboro now offers
can be the most widely and most wisely
advertised, and to cast about in a broad
and effective way to see what desirable
new Industries can be encouraged to To-
cate here. If we are really to grow and
prosper one of the most important and
desirable consummations Will be the con-
nection of Brattleboro with Hinsdale by
an electric road by way of Vernon, and
. the extension of the road to Mortified
and points below. To such an enterprise
the Connecticut River Power company
would inevitably be favorable and the
company would be an important factor In
its promotion. This would give to Hins-
dale and Vernon the occasion to built
their long-desired bridge across the river
Such a bridge, If built of sufficient
strength, would manifestly go long way
toward assuring the construction of the
electric road.
There are great possibilities before us
Let us each plan, not alone how muct
we can get, but how much We can help
and on what broad lines we can build thu
basis of our future growth!

It to its foundation so that 1t cannot slide
down stream under the water pressure.
1t has not been feasible to construct sat
isfactory gravity dams previous to the
use of reinforced concrete because OF
lack of suitable material. Masonry is
too expensive for a structure with so
wide a base and timber is not long lived
In consequence a masonry dam would
be built on a narrow foundation, with
the liability of overturning and timber
dam is always liable to break away from
other causes, due to the material itself.
This type of concrete dam is supported
by a row of buttresses or short vertical
walls spaced several feet apart and ex-
tending in a row clear across the river.
These buttresses are then rooted in, so to
speak, by the concrete-steel covering,
forming a hollow structure through which
a person may pass at any time to inspect
the dam This roof or covering is made
absolutely water tight and is guaranteed
to remain so, since the tie bars prevent
the cracking that so often produces leaks
in other types of construction. The front
of the dam will appear as shown in the
lower and smaller view. This repre-
sents the dam when the water is not
flowing over 1t and the row of buttresses
which carry the watertlght concrete COW
ering is plainly visible.
