Middlstown. April 4:-The descend bugh, the hero of Lake Champlain, have been asked to consent to the re- etery in this city to P1ettsburg on the Fhores of Cumberland Bay The fam fly Of Commodore McDonough are con- bidertng the matter.
 The request came from the McDon- Dugh committee of the Lake Cham plain Association who are making the plane for the tercentenary celebration 6 the discovery of the lake.
 The celebration is to be attended by President Taft, Vice President Sher- man, Senator Root and other men of national reputation, and it seems par ticularly appropriate that the sugges- lion be made at this time
 As to the transportation of the body, E the family consent, a small torpedo boat, or if the passage through the Ehamplain canal make it more desir- lble a lighthouse inspection boat will probably be provided by the govern ment to carry the body down the Con- hecticur river, up the Hudson, ana through the canal and lake. Fitting ceremonies would be observed at Mid dletown as we'll at Plattsburgh. in which the Navy department would be Represented.

Within a few months the treaty of peace was signed.
 McDonough continued to serve his pountry until his death in 1925. He NaS in command of the fleet in the Mediterranean when he was taken i'll tnd had to be relieved from duty. He Med soon after and was buried in this e1ty which had been his home so many years.
 It seems strange that Middletown has rever erected a monument to mark his resting place. Not even a street in this city is named after the hero.
 The anniversary which is to be cele- 'brafed this year is the tercentenary of Samuel de Champlain, the famous French explorer.

New England Control of
 New Haven Roads Stock Nearly 60 Per Cent. Owned in Massachusetts, Connec- ticut and Rhode Island.

Boston, April 1.-At present when the exact location of the majority of own ership of Boston & Maine stock is so much a matter of doubt, it is a safe assertion the only large railroad in the country, control of which is still held by New England investors, is the New York, New Haven & Hartford The Boston News Bureau is authority for the statement that of the $9S, ,24o,2 stock outstanding on March 1, 1909, 59 per cent, or exactly $57, ,354, 900, was owned in the three States of Massa- chusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Is land. The entire New England own ership is probably slightly in excess of 50 per cent, as the remaining Al per cent. of the stock is owned, 34 per cent. in New York and per cent. in various other States.
 It is certainly a striking commentary on the localized ownership of New Ha- ven securities that s3 per cent. of the company's stock. or exactly $91, ,062, 300, should be owned in the four States of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is land and New York. The geograph- tcal distribution of New Haven shares may De seen from the following:
Republican farmer., 1909-04-02

The New York interest in the com pany has increased somewhat in the last few years, due in part to the issu- ance of New Haven stock in exchange for Boston & Maine at the time the New Haven purchased it's first big block of Boston & Maine securities. It is probable that taking the entire $275 GOO, 900 of New Haven stock and bonds outstanding fully 70 per cent. is owned in New England, the invest ment in the bonds of the company in this section being exceedingly heavy. Some authorities have even estimated over 80 per cent. as the total percent age of New Haven securities owned in New England. s
