A New Road From Hinsdale.

A serious problem which the town will
have to consider soon is the matter OF a
new road to Brattleboro, as the one used
at present will be put out of commission
for a considerable distance when the Hins-
dale and Vernon dam is completed. To
build up the present road would not be a
satisfactory way, as the wash of water
would necessitate constant repairing I'M
less it was protected in very substantial
manner and this would be altogether too
expensive. Of course the Connecticut
river power company will have to bear the
expense of the new road, but the town
must assure itself that the location is the
most satisfactory. There are two routes,
besides the one now in use, to be con-
sidered. One is along the shore of what
will be the large lake and this course has
many disadvantages. Another route is
along the TOP Of the range of Hills over
looking the lake. To build the road along
this route would be somewhat more ex-
pensive, but at present it looks as though
it would be more satisfactory. There are
bound to be summer residences and cot
tages along the shore of the lake and by
having the road on top OF the hill loca-
tions for building would be opened up on
either side of the road and the town
would be eliminated from the necessity OF
opening highway for the accommodation
Of those desiring to build along that route.
When the electric road goes through Hins..
dale from Brattleboro to Mortified, and
that time seems nearer at hand than ever
before, this will be the easiest way for
the cars. This matter was brought up
at town meeting last Tuesday and L. F..
Liscom, Charles Bigelow and Frank w.
Tilden were appointed committee to
work in conjunction with the board of
selectmen in determining the most advis-
able route .-Hinsdale letter in Springfield

POLICE FOUND GIRL.
Chesterfield Woman Had Enticed Six.
teen ear Old Miss from Her Home.

Complaint was made to the police de.
partment of keene this week that Miss
Flora Carpenter of Chesterfield, l6-year-
old girl. had been enticed away from her
home BY woman named Mrs. Hattie Co.
burn OF that town. The parents of the
girl made the complaint and asked Tor
help in getting their daughter back. Al.
ter an investigation the girl was located
in West Swanzey and taken to Keene.
The woman and girl left Chesterfield
some time March 10 and went away with
out letting Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter know
where they were going They went to
keene and next morning went to Saw
yer's Crossing station on the Ashuelot
branch. As soon as the matter was re-
ported to the police, Officer Philbrick
was sent out to look the case up. lie
learned that two women answering the
descriptions of Mrs. Coburn and Miss
Carpenter had boarded the train for West
SwanZey.
He. therefore, took team and drove to
Sawyer's Crossing. where he learned that
the women had alighted and started to
walk to the Center. At the Center he
could not locate them and found that
they had been given a ride toward West
Swanzey. So to West Swanzey he went
and after asking in several places found
the women. They were taken to keene
and Miss Carpenter went home on the
stage with her parents. The other, wo-
man, who is thought to have been wholly
to blame for the trouble was given good
lecture and let go.

$4,000 for Cheshire Co. Roads.

Cheshier, county towns will spend in the
neighborhood of $4,000 during the COM
ing year for repairs and permanent work
on the highways. The amount this year
is probably larger than ever before. In
addition to this the state will expend Sl5,-
900. Seventeen of the % towns in Cheshire
county will be aided by the state while
four desire to do the work in their own
way at their own expense. Winchester
makes the largest appropriation for high
ways, raising $4,000 and in addition $500
for bridges. Jaffrey will use $500 for
bridges. The towns which will get state
aid this year are Alstead, Chesterfield,
Dublin, Fitzwilliam, Gilsum, Harrisville,
Hinsdale, Marlboro, NARROW, Nelson,
Richmond Sullivan, Surry, Swanzey, Troy,
Westmoreland and Winchester.
