Ottauquechee Valleys Protest.

The opponents of the charter asked
for by the Champlain Realty COM
pany giving it power to Improve"
the Ottauquechee river for log-driv-
ing, seem to be aware of the present
peril and are making what should be
a winning fight. Let every one turn
in and help them.
This valley needs all the water
power the river can supply, and if
this invading corporation has per-
mission to blast, timber, dredge and
dam along it's course, it will mean an
irreparable loss to the people. 1t
will hasten the denudation of the
forests, rendering the valley more
liable to foods and drouths. 1t will
injure the beauty of the scenery,
which here and in all Vermont is a
matter of dollars and cents to the
people.

make log-run of the river claims
that it cannot utilize certain tract
unless it is allowed to float logs down
the river, but this should be mat
ter of very little concern to the people
of Woodstock, the valley and the
state.
The Suggestion from White
river neighbor that the Ottauquechee
might be improved from an esthetic
standpoint by the operations of a
log-driving company adds touch of
humor to the grim contest, and is
welcome. if not of weight or inn
portance.

Story of the Manitoba Barn.

10 the Editor:
The Spirit of the Age, Oct. Goth,
quoted apparently without question
the Baron Munchausen story of the
barn the farmer built in Manitoba
Manitoba is long way off and a
good place for fish stories to come
from. This barn was built on will
low stakes and, according to the
story, the willow stakes grew and
lifted the barn. Now you know well
enough that whom tree starts to
grow it does not rise A branch for
example that started two feet from
the ground would grow always at
the point at which il began it's
growth. The trees may have grown
around the Manitoba barn; they did
not lift it into the sky.
Yours truly,
HARTFoRp.
