A Lee Experiment

The state highway commission have informed the Lee, Mass, selectmeu that they will place new top dressing on the state road from the North-end bridge north to the Lenox line. This is a new composition, made of cement and sand, having similarity to the road dressing on North street in Pittsfeld, but not as expensive, and this is the first time that it has been tried. This strip of road has several steep grades for state road, and if the new covering will stand the un- usual wear that it gets from automobiles and the rain wash, it certainly will be good for other less used strips of high way. The road is being made level with new coating of trap rock, which is be- ing hauled from Lenox Dale with a traction engine over the back roads, as the North-end bridge would not stand the heavy strain.-Eagle.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Cornwall Man Writes in Defense of the Railroads.
 no% IOnC

Cornwall, Oct 5, 1908.
 EDITOR NEWS:
 For two weeks you published long articles written by an eminent journalist condemnatory of the railroads. To my mind those articles do not conform to concerned they are thing of the past. And as to the coal situation it is being tried out in the courts. With MT. Taft as president we are assured that govern ment regulation of railroads will be thorough and at the same time just. We should be careful not to play into the hand of the demagogues in the matter of railroads. To smash the transportation business of this country IS to invite commercial disaster. Every man, woman and child who has a say lngs bank deposit, Is interested in the prosperity of the railroads. A large proportion of railroad gross earnings goes to the vast army of employees who maintain and operate the various lines.
 From the beginning of railroad con- struction' until now, the shareholders have not had an undue proportion of the earnings. It is mistake to confuse the vast fortunes accumulated by syndicates of bankers and combinations among financial giants, with ordinary railroad operations. You may condemn the speculator aud exploiter if you will, bat l believe the great body of railroad managers are as honest, as honorable and as conscientious as business men anywhere. And even the mighty geniuseS whom ws condemn, have wrought wonderful benefits to the country ill unifying and systematizing the complicated network of our trans portation lines. R. K. SoUTHwICK.

ticle ln the current issue or "Mun1clpai Engineering" regarding the effect of oil and tar npon adjacent trees and vegeta- tion, and in the same magazine a de- tailed description of what has come to be generally known as the Santa Monica system" of applying oil to roads, which differs materially from the above and is we'll worth reading by any one desirous of becoming posted on the road question.
 l The Town Meeting held on Monday brought out total of 330 voters. As 1 the Democratic Caucus endorsed the Republican ticket as far as possible, everyone who ran on either ticket was elected with the exception of I. N. Bart ram for tree warden, he being defeated 1 by Willard Baker. The vote on the licence question was not as close as the friends of prohibition had hoped, per haps partly owing to the fact that they failed to provide any official ballots for voting. The vote was license 264, no- license 33. A detaIled statement of the town vote is given elsewhere. At the | Town meeting, held in the afternoon, James Wilbur presiding, MT. Bartram moved that the selectmen's report be &C., cepted. MT. Jewett wished to know how many old town orders had been taken up and destroyed the past year. Selectman Fahoy replied that nine of there orders had been taken up, eight of 1 them in favor of the late Hattie Bene- dict and one of them in favor of the late i Thomas Ryan. The selectmen's report was accepted. It was then voted to &C., cept the treasurer's report and likewise the report of the school visitors and the report of the health officer. Mr. Jewett moved that the tax be laid at an ad- | journed town meeting to be held next March. MT. Bartram amended this by motion that the present meeting when adjourned, be adjourned to the first Mon day in next March; passed. MT. Jewstt's s motion to lay the tax at such adjourned meeting also passed. In re paying the tax collector, which has not been done in 1 a proper manner, J. B. Smith moved to reconsider and amend a previous vote regarding this matter, but gave Way to Mr. Bartrarn, who moved that the W4ioicc matter be left with the selectmen. Pas sed. NIT. Bartram, ably seconded by R. Harris then moved that the town pay to our efficient tax collector, O. Tiedeman an extra compensation of $100 for the zeal and ability he has shown in collect ing back taxes. Passed. R. Harris then inquired why the state road work to which we are entitled to by previous vote had not been done. Selectman Fahey replied that he had been unable to get the highway commissioner to at tend to them. MT. Bartram said a lot of surveying had been done in town, which the state was supposed to pay for but never had. Former selectman Bierce said that when the roads survey ed were for the surveying. MT. Harris moved that our new first selectman, J. B. Smith proceed to Hartford in his auto and bring the highway commissioner here, willy-nilly. This was amended by instructing the selectmen to use their best endeavors to have the state roads most needed by the town built as soon as possible. After passing a vote to make certain nescessary improvements to the town hall the meeting was ad- 1909 at 3 D. m.

SHARON HIGH SCHOOL.
 ITO J. s. I898.)

(1O J. .. lSSS.D Many day of Autumn, Jennie, I have seen them passing by, Far haired girls with eyes the color God created for tbe sky; Girls with eyes before whose glances, All things wrong are swept away, Eyes that change, when full of feeling, To dark unfathomed Grey. Girls with eyes of purest hazel,
 Eyes that anyone would trust, Ever honest, pure and truthful,
 Prone to critioise, yet just. Girls who look with conscious power, Out of eyes of deepest night; Strong to win most any battle, Whether wrong or whether right. Girls with eyes whose changetul color, Confidence might fail to win, But that they tell, amid the changes Of the strong young soul within. Healthy, happy and light ht-hearted, am sure they seem to be, And need not tell you, Jennie,
 All of them are fair to sec. And like to see them passing,
 Laughter-loving, full of fun, And Pm sure the town of Sharon, May be proud of every one. Merry groups of six or seven, Life for them is all before, And they wonder, maiden fashion What the future holds in store. Yet may all that's good attend them, For I'm sure they're hard to beat, And I know that this opinion, Is also held by Charlie Sweet; And though think that my resemblance, To said Charley may be small, Yet in one respect we are alike, Since I admire them one and all.
