intercourse. Had the monetary as
sistance promised, been forthcoming,
he could have antedated Fulton's
Clermont by at least ten years.
And just here, springs up the pain
full controversy affecting the honor
and integrity of one of the parties TO
the enterprise. Fulton knew,must have
known of Morey's success with his
two side wheels. The GOODNESS of
Livingston and Fulton was significant.
1t is claimed that Fulton got his
idea of running boat by means Of
steam applied to paddlewheels in
very disreputable way Morey says in
letter to a friend in 1918; i never
| had any doubt but that / had a right
to take out patent for the applica
, ton of two wheels to a steamboat
and have often told Mr.. Livingston
and Mr.. Fulton that l have. To the
! latter, 1 once asserted this right on
! board his steamboat with him 1t was
this sense of injustice, which brought
from the inventor, in later years, the
exclamation, Curse his stomach, he
stole my patents.'
"These facts and much more in the
archives of the historical societies
must be explained before priority may
be established by the partisans of
Robert Fulton. The engine of Nor
ey's original boat was placed in a
small skiff on what was known in
the earlier days as Fairlee Pond, and
there lost. A working model of it is,
however, preserved in the Historical
Society's room at Montpelier, VT,
where it can be seen in working Or
der. The engine stands upon the
boiler.
Such in brief is the story of the
coming of steam navigation. The
honor of this invention belongs, not
to Robert Fulton, but to Samuel Nor
ey who brought his plans in the spiri
|. of an open hearted gentleman and
submitted them to Fulton and Living.

Another Granite Industry.

While Barre has been combining it.
self to quarrying and manufacturing
granite for monumental purposes
only, other towns have taken up the
building stone end of the granite bus
mess and have been successful in this
line. Barre has been so uniformly
successful in the monumental line that
it has never taken time to consider the
matter of exploiting it's granite for
building purposes, and when local
manufacturers have been asked TO bid
on building work they have generally
declined, for the reason that they were
having all they could do in the monu-
mental line or were not equipped for
handling work economically.
= But there is no good reason why
Barre shouldn't develop this end of
the the granite industry as well as the
monumental end, and with this pur-
pose in view the Barre Board of Trade
has called meeting of all interested
on Thursday evening to see what ac-
ton shall be taken toward this end

Between 1900 and 1000 acres of
land in this town are posted against
hunters. Several farmers have closed
their cows and other stock in barns
fearing the possibility of losing them
during the season. Three deer have
been reported killed, one of which
was a doe. The woods are well filled

afternoon that man had been kill

investigation proved to be without
foundation.
