NJ INHARMONY IN
 RAILROAD PROJECT
And the Enthusiasm Grows Along the Line, Bu. the Time is Getting Short.

The bonus solicitors who visited Buckeye in the interest of the Phco- nix X Buckeye ali: oad were cr'm more enthusiastic yesterday over the result of their labors in the lower country, than was intimated in yes terdays paper. I:iough they still cX- poct more returns fTCm that section. They received several reports yes terday by telephone that were more encouraging than ever and feel that the Buckeye people are fully appre- ciative of this opportunity to secure a railroad, the first tangible proposition that has been made to them, and one that ought to work for the prosperity of the communities at both ends of the line and all the way between.
 The Phoenix solicitors are busy. They are losing no time though they have nothing of a startling nature to report at this time. They are fully in earnest in the matter and laying their lines for a vigorous campaign, realizing that Phoenix must do its part as well as Buckeye. All the help that comes up from below, how ever. the region to be most directly benefited, will make the campaign that much easier here. The Phoenix business men have a lot to think about just now and several irons in the fire, as in fact they have most of the time, but they are deeply in terested in the railroad project and none of them are opposing it so far as heard from. They will doubtless do all they can for it means busi- ness for Phoenix. Buckeye though must help keep them enthused, for it means more to that section than anywhere.

Especially for the Appointment oi Democrats to Office.

Columbus. O. May 27.-The National American Negro league adopted reso- lutions tonight condemning what the negroes Call the policy of retrogression advocated by President Taft. Ap- pointments made by the president are criticised, especially of democrats with ante-bellum tendencies. The attitude of the president has had an effect prejUdicial to the negro in industrial life, it is declared, inasmuch as mem- bership in labor unions which they have held for years is now seriously objected to.
 The executive color line policy" of President Taft is denounced and it is demanded that he square his policies with the platform so far as the 14th and 18th amendments are concerned.

A UNIQUE HISTORICAL FIGURE.
Royal Tyler, Jurist, Soldier, Author
Dramatist and Wit.

Brattleboro has been the home of many
great and famous men, but probably there
has never been a more unique figure than
Royal Tyler, says the local correspondent
of the Springfield Republican. Royal
Tyler was the father of another of the
same name who lived for many years in
what was called the royal Tyler house"
on Tyler street. This house has been re-
Gently bought by E. S. Hall, and is being
remodeled and renovated. The first Roy
all Tyler was renowned as jurist, soldier,
author, dramatist, wit, and professor Of
jurisprudence He was born in Boston in
July, 1857, of wealthy and influential par
entage. His father, also named Royal
Tyler, was a man of marked ability, was
graduated from Harvard at the age of 10,
and soon after engaged in mercantile
business with his brother-in-law, Samuel
Phillips Salvage. He was a member of
the kings council from 1865 until his
death in III. As such the name of
Royal Tyler appears upon the most i'm
portant committees during the long con-
test between the general court and Gov
ernors Bernard and Hutchinson, occa-
stoned by the stamp act, by the quartering
of the troops in Boston and by the re-
moval Of the general court sessions to
Cambridge. As spokesman for the COM
mittee he demanded the removal of the
troops from Boston.
In July, 1772, young Royal entered
Harvard at the age of Is. OF his stu
iousness at Harvard not much is known,
although he. without doubt, acquitted
himself with honor. One interesting little
anecdote is told Of his career at college.
He and Christopher Gore, his roommate,
were rusticated by the faculty for the
prank. Their room overlooked the front

LOCAL HOTEL PROJECT.
Man With Money and Experience All
That is Needed to Put it Through.

The hotel project that has been under
discussion locally for some weeks may be
said to have taken tangible form. Those
interested in the matter have assurance
that if they can find thoroughly com
petent man to operate and partially fl
nance the building of such a hostelry as
has been proposed there will be local
capital Forthcoming to aid in the enter
prise. Already several persons have sig
niied their willingness to invest their
funds in the building of hotel at some
point in or near Brattleboro, and within
few weeks any prospective manager for
such hotel may see the tentative plans.
Such person will be shown the country
in this vicinity that he may Judge of the
advantages of Brattleboro as site for
such a hotel as is proposed.
parties of either limited means or limit
ment in this place will not be satisfied
palatial affair which will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. In view of the fact
that within 40 miles of Brattleboro there
are hotels that have a minimum rate of
SIS per day and maximum of $50 per
day whether a guest stops a-day or
month, the men who are behind the Brat
tleboro project are sanguine that if such
a hostelry, as is proposed be built, there
will be dividends forthcoming for the in
vestors. Already the promoters of the
plan have been promised material financial
assistance If the proper man can be found
to invest money and assume the manage
ment of such an establishment.

| these states.
The convention met February 10, 1925
with the Hon. Moses p Payson as it,
chairman. A committee was appointed
| consisting of three men from each state
to take into consideration and report to
the convention such steps as they deemed
expedient for better service to the inhabi
tants of the valley. Nothing was done
until 1880, when on Sept. 49, another con-
vention was held with the result that the
Connecticut River Steamboat company
was incorporated to do business in four
states. The company Immediately set
about buying the locks and canals and in
the following April started their first
boat.
Their entire route was over 800 miles
and included four states. The national
government recognized the benefits to be
derived from such a company and saw
that it was a case where national patron
age would enlarge the resources of New
England. The cost of freight was re-
duced so per cent and made business
much better The boat landing was then
the popular resort of the town and there
was always a curious crowd present to see
a boat come in.
The boats ran at the rate of II miles an
hour up stream, stopping for the night
wherever they might be when darkness
fell. The entire trip occupied something
like 90 days from Hartford to Wells Riv-
err.
Many quaint stories are told of the old
river days, of the happy songs and mar
velous strength of the river men and of
t he great excursions that were run down
the Connecticut when five and ten boats
would make the trip with vacationists.
The coming of the railroad gradually
made river travel too slow for passengers
and in time improbable for freight

EARLY RIVER NAVIGATION.
Regular Line of Boats Between Hart
ford and Wells River Years Ago.
From our Special Correspondent.

Probably few people in Vermont know
of the existence at one time of great
waterway system starting near the mouth
of the Connecticut river at Hartford, and
following that river around shadows and
rapids to Wells river The first boat rum
ming the entire distance reached its north
ern terminal in April, 1881, the service
continuing for ten years.
As early as 1872 the needs of cheap and
sure transportation was felt by the towns
and cities of the valley. Previous to that
date the old overland coach or the. OK
train was the only mode of freighting.
Then a small fiat bottomed boat was
bnilt and used on the river from Hart
ford. Conn. to Springfield, Mass. Sails
were used exclusively until the advent of
steam in river navigation, when several
small tow boats were built and employed
IN mil the fat bottomed boats up to
Springfield. The trip was then made in
seven DAYS. With the coming of the tow
hoat canals and locks were built where
nsvioation was difficult, but It was not
mill the formation of the Connecticut
P;ver Steamboat company that any at
ten,nt was made to utilize the navigable
nortions of the river for through boats.
The first movement was made when
convention was called at Springfield with
deleoates present from New Hampshire,

Big Marble Deal Near Rutland.

What is probably the largest marble
deal which has been consummated in the
state of Vermont in many years was com
pleted on Saturday when between Is and
20 farms in the towns of Tinmouth and
Dandy involving nearly 10 miles of con,
tinuous marble property ranging from half
mile in width and including from 5000
to 10000 acres of land, were bought by
George G. Underhill of Rutland and =, his
associates. Reports received from Tin
mouth are to the effect that Mr.. Under
hill and his associates have bought prac-
tically all of the farms in the west part of
the town and extending several miles into
Dandy. It is also understood that the
Vermont Marble company has been buy
ing several farms in Clarendon during the
last week, either buying the farms out
right or buying the mineral rights. For
over 100 years it has been known to few
that there were various outcroppings of
marble here and there in Tinmouth and it
is now said that the largest body of mar
BILE in the state has laid all these years
in the one town of Tinmouth.
