The Athletic association met Wednesday

1t was decided to have no football team to
represent the school this fall but to de-
vote all energy to basketball. There Is
good material for a basketball team but
there are not enough good football players
in the school to form a representative
eleven. Plans for field meet to be held
late in the fall at the Valley Fair grounds
were discussed but nothing definite was
decided.

OUR NEW INDUSTRY
Removal of Lowell Scale Works
to Begin Next Week
Expected That Establishment viii BE
In Running order in Williams Carriage
Building oct. I.

In Running order in Williams carriage
Building oct. 1.
Arrangements have been definitely COM
pleted with the Lowell Scale company
under which the company will move to
BrattlebOro from Lowell Mass, and es-
tablsh their business in the Williams
carriage shop building on Williams street.
The company will vacate its factory in
Lowell at once. Removal to Brattleboro
will begin next week, and it is expected
that business will begin here Oct. l. The
business of the company was originally
established and successfully operated by
G.. A. Towle. Mr.. Towle was somewhat
advanced in years and was in Ill health,
and last April the business was bought by
a stock company. of which f. L. Arms is
the president and Charles A. Smith treas
urer, and has been carried on by this
company since. Mr. Arms, the president,
has had wide experience in the scale
business. He was for several years
salesman for the Howe Scale company.
Afterward he became the manager of the
New York office of the Standard Scale
and Supply company concern which has
built up a very prosperous business, hav-
ing factories in Pennsylvania which cover
several acres. Through this connection
Mr. Arms became convinced of the pos
sibilities of this line of business, and when
the Lowell opportunity offered he there
took up this business for himself. Since
the new owners took possession last
April the output has been practically
doubled over that of the same period
year ago. The Lowell scales have been
on the market for IS or 16 years. They
have had a good sale and have acquired
a good reputation. Their line of goods
embraces portable platform and counter
scales.
Up to this time the Lowell company
have been assemblers of scales only-that
is to say, they have had the different
parts made under contract and have put
these together and completed the scales at
Lowell. After moving to Brattleboro they
hope in due time to manufacture all the
different parts here, including the wood
work and the iron and brass parts They
now use IL to IS tons of iron castings
month In due course a foundry will
doubtless be established here where these
castings will be made. The concern now
employs II or IS hands, and 1t is expected
that this number will be materially in
creased as the business is developed in
Brattleboro
Twenty Brattleboro business men have
guaranteed the purchase of the Williams
building in trust for the company and it
was agreed that $3.50 should be paid them
for removal expenses. The board of
trade pays a part of this sum and Brat
tleboro citizens will be asked to contribute
toward the balance.
The industry is a desirable one, directly
in line with the development which we all
hope to see in Brattleboro, and no doubt
is felt by those who have made careful
investigation that 1t can be established
here on a profitable, permanent and grow
ing basis.

tIeboro, in Big Deal
His Company Has Sold $4,000 Acres Of
Land In Montana to Railroad Company
--WllI Retire with Fortune.

Land In Montana to Railroad Company
will Retire with Fortune.
The Great Falls, Montana Daily Tri-
bune of August 26 contained the following
as despatch from lewiston that state:
THE largest land deal ever consum-
mated in this part of the state, and prob
ably the biggest single transaction OF the
Kind ever recorded in Montana, has just
been closed up here, the Billings & North
ern purchasing 26, 900 acres of land owned
by the Sage Creek Sheep company, on
Sage creek, in the western part of Fergus
county, for $40 an acre. or a lump sum of
$3.50, 900. The railroad company secured
an option on this immense tract early in
the year, desiring to secure it because of
the coal it contains. Since then the
ground has been thoroughly explored, with
the result that 1t met all expectations OF
the company The option would not have
expired until September 9, but the Billings
IL Northern saw no reason for delaying.
The decision of the Sage Creek company
TO sell is in line with the general policy
of the big sheep outfits in reducing their
bands, except that this concern has gone
to the limit and will retire from the bust
ness altogether. The company owns about
10000 head of sheep and last year mar
keted about 250,0 900 pounds of wool. This
year the clip amounted to something over
100000 pounds and the wool sold at 20
cents each season. The company will
have until along in the spring, 1t is under
stood, to dispose of their sheep, which
are all good stock and with the other
effects of the business will probably bring
In $150;O00 more. so that the company will
retire with something like $780, 900.
The Sage Creek company had it's be-
ginning In 1880, when Leslie II. Hamil-
ton, native of Brattleboro, Vt, located
on a ranch near Utica. and with associates
went into the sheep business with about
1000 head. He is the president of the
company, and owns, it is understood.
three -fourths of the stock the balance
being owned by Rev. Jacob Mills of
Helena. AS a result of this deal, the own
ers will be able to retire with a handsome
fortune. Mr.. Hamilton is interested in
the new town of Windham. and the sale
of this great. tract to the railroad company
means much to the townsite company, as
1t shows the railroad will work the coal
mines which are close to Windham, on a
very extensive scale"

The geographical distribution OF the
