another railroad line except at enormous
expense, and the bridging of the river
delow the dam at Bellows Falls and again
at Brattleboro would alone impose heavy
costs.
And after these great expenditures
have been made by both companies, and
two Independent lines up the river have
come to exist, what then? Would there
be business enough for both with a re-
turn on all of the largely increased
capital investment involved? A single
line of rather light weight rails is not
exactly overcrowded in handling the
present volume of business. 1t would be
years before enough traffic could develop
to keep two lines busy and pay returns
on the much larger investment and this
increased investment would demand re-
turns of the public and would never
allow competition to take them away for
any great length Of time.
"All requirements of increased traffic
as far ahead as we can now look could
be much more satisfactorily and cheaply
met by the double tracking of these odds
and ends of railroad from South Vernon
northward, and If there is to be only a
single line of road, whether of one or
two tracks, it should be under one con-
troll. 1t should certainly not Be under an
intermittent control now of one company
for few miles and then of another COM
pany for a few more miles, each placing
the other under heavy tribute and the
other recouping itself from the public in
excessive charges"

New London Northern Possibilities.

The views of a veteran Holyoke bust
ness man respecting the local possibili-
ties of the Grand Trunk proposed extern
sion to Providence and perhaps to Boston,
appear in another column, and will be
noted with interest. 1t is not clear at
this distance what the Canadian road or
its Central Vermont and New London
Northern attachment is to gain from a
Providence extension beyond a little
additional local freight. 1t already has
a seaboard outlet at New London, as
well as at Portland, and while Providence
can also offer good harbor facilities 1t
cannot offer, more than can New Lon
don, connections with regular trans
atlantic steamship lines. Boston alone
can present such an advantage, and
1t may be that a Boston extension is
contemplated, in the way suggested by
Mr.. Newton.
As for New London Northern extensions
to this city and Holyoke-they may
come and we hope they will The more
the merrier; and betweeS these and the
Providence extensions a considerable local
freight traffic could be developed which
would not appear through an extension
from Palmer to Providence alone. But
consideration of the Grand Trunk as be-
ing oble to offer us an open and indepen-
dent and freely competitive way to the
West and Northwest will have to wait up
on large changes beyond an extension
of its leased line to Springfield and Hol-
yoke. Further up the river the Grand
Trunk has no continuous independence.
Going nOrthward it runs into the Bos-
ton and Maine CHOW New Haven property
at Brattleboro and does not come on to
its own line again until Windsor is
reached; and the hills crowd the river
closely on both sides north of Brattleboro.
and if the Grand Trunk or its leased
property, the Central Vermont, were to
build line of its own it would probably
have to go on the mountain side from
Brattleboro to Bellows Falls drumming
into the Boston and Names Cheshire
branch on the way, and then cross over
to the Vermont side for the rest of the
Maine holds the other side of the river
for that distance.
AS it is the Grand Trunk and the Bos-
ton and Maine bottle each other up the
whole distance from White River Junction
to South Vernon. Vt, and it is doubtful
if they can ever be unbotted so as to
leave each other with an Independent
line. This is of vital consideration in
viewing the Grand Trunk as Offering
us new and untrammeled way to the
West. And meantime we must also not
lose sight of the fact that salvation from
railroad oppression is not to be had by
way of competition, which is always
likely to be choked in one way or another.
and which can never, in railroading have
more than a very limited sway. We must
look to public regulation. and if that fails
us then public ownership necessa rily

Farmers Train Planned.

A special farmers train will be run
over the Rutland division of the New
York Central lines from Alburg and Bel
lows Falls and Bennington starting
April ~, 1t will carry a staff of lecturers
and demonstrators from the University
of Vermont and from practical stock and
dairy farms in this state. Exhibitions
will consist of Illustrations of forestry,
spraying of crops and dairying. Two or
three cows Of desirable and undesirable
conformity will also be included in the
equipment of the train and they will be
used for demonstrating the points The
passenger coaches will be fitted up with
lecture platforms, and stops of an hour
each will be made at all stations on the
route, and night lectures and stops will
be made at Middlebury, Rutland, Ben
nington and Chester. One car will be
devoted to horticulture and forestry, one
to fertilizers and crops, and the third
to dairying and stock feeding. The
speakers for this farmers train have
been chosen by Commissioner OF Agri-
culture Orland l. Martin and the officials

NIB. HAPeoop Will BUN.

Marshall j. Hapgood of Peru is a can
didate for governor He doesn't want
to buy the nomination. He doesn't in
tend to force his candidacy upon an I'M
willing people. He doesn't claim to be
able in the course Of a two years ad-
ministration to make Vermont a rival of
the New Jerusalem. He isn't going to
get down on his knees to the machine
politicians and heelers and wouldn't
take the nomination from them if they
offered ii to him, because he wouldn't
be under obligations to that crowd for
all the honor there is in the governor
ship. But if the plain people of Vermont
want him in the governors chairs he
won't run away from it. The London,
derry Sitter says:
Charles w. Gates denies that he is
candidate for governor of Vermont.
and refuses to be in the hands of his
friends On account of his refusal to
good Of Peru has decided to enter the
list. Mr. Hapgood is in sympathy with
Mr.. Fleetwood's policy of using no money
in his canvass, and states that he will
use no funds nor make any pledges but
what he would be willing to have viewed
by the clear light of day. He will use
his whole influence to have clear, clean,
unpledged delegates appointed to the
convention who will truly represent the
mass of the people. Mr.. Hapgood can
be depended upon to make a vigorous
push of his canvass now that he has
decided upon this political step"
The Banner has heretofore printed Mr.
Hapgood's views on public questions
pretty fully and will from time to time
as the campaign progresses. He has al
ready expressed himself pretty strongly
in favor of the following things:
More economy in handling state funds.
Fewer laws and better laws.
Trunk line highways.
Adoption of the true Australian ballot.
Taxation reform by trying some Of the
remedies suggested. We shan't get
everything right the first time but few
experiments won't hurt anybody seriously
and out of them we shall undoubtedly
be able to develop a more just distribu-
tion of the burdens of taxation.
Direct primaries and limit the spend
ing of money for campaign purposes.
Give the governor veto power
Vermonts Rugged Reformer, as Mr.
Hapgood has been called, is prominently
man of the people. He comes from a
small town and understands conditions
in the rural communities of the state.
He has no axe to grind, no bosses to
serve. If he should be elected governor
he will do his best for all the people OF
the state.-[Bennington Banner.

More Than 40 Killed In Wreck.

More than 40 persons were killed and
as many more were injured, some fatally
in wreck Of two Block Island trains
at Green Mountain, Marshalltown, Ia.
Monday morning, Some Of the dead
We're so badly mangled that ldentfica-
tion was almost impossible. The two
trains were coupled together and the
locomotives were running backward
There were l3 cars. While running
through cut at % miles an hour the
tender of the front locomotive jumped
the track. This threw the head locomo-
tive into the sides Of the narrow cut,
and it stopped almost instantly. The
sudden stoppage ditched the second loco
motive, and the momentum of the heavy
train crushed the day coach and the
smoking car against the heavier Pull
man. The smoking car and day coach
were telescoped, and hardly an occupant
of either car escaped death or injury.

was delayed by snow storm. and the
article concludes with the following:
Most every one seemed TO Jingle with
a system full Of enjoyment that each had
been treated to, and the 200 men smiled
contentedly while some Of the 200 wives
at home called up the police and the
newspaper offices 10 inquire for the be-
loved providers Of their families. A man
who had previously laid claim TO veracity,
explained the delay by telling that the
fireman had lost his shovel off the engine
and had to throw the coal into the fire
box by hand, but the train with its
precious freight poked its cowcatcher,
looking like a snow white goatee, into
the Springfield station soon after mid
night"

ECHOES OF THE "JUNKET.'
Springfield Board Of Trades Trip to
5rattleboro Gets AppreoiatVe Mention
In Oraanlzatlon's Publication.

The Springfield board Of trade has just
issued the first number of THE Live
Wire a four page publication devoted
to the interests of Springfield and west
ern New England. 1t contains a long
account of the Brattleboro "junket," and
the article is Of very appreciative char
acter. The first two paragraphs are as
follows:
Good fellowship never had buster
day of 1t than on the memorable occasion
OF the now famous Brattleboro junket
TITS good to recall it. Its joys were
spiritual confectionery and the memory
of them is almost equivalent to the pre-
servation for use from day to day OF
pleasures of that time of plenty. The
trip was frolic,-but more. 1t was the
finest kind of combination of fun and
definite business policy. Springfeld's
commercial position was strengthened in
one of her prosperous contrbutary COM
munities. 1t is impossible to doubt that
such improved and extended acquaint-
ances among business men of two near
by places helped along business between
the two centres. Some of those who
went on the trip have already spoken
Of definite instances in which business
mas been done in Brattleboro more easily
than they had ever done it before.
Let's take some more good, deep
shifts of the persistent fragrance Of those
BrattleborO recollections. Every one will
remember how it showed But nobody
appeared at the station with dubious
face or chilly enthusiasm. From the be-
ginning there was an inclusive albright
ness about everything in general If the
propitious deity who watched over that
trip will make himself known the board
of trade will give him a steady Job with
good pay. The board had the human
elements working for its interests,-and
working together,-but it is hard to be-
lieve such success as that junket to
be due alone to the efforts of mere
mortals."

the outing Mpd Of the ret rip which

cross examination he said something
about getting pint in Palmer on the
Central Vermont road, on his way to
New York the following morning, al
though he claimed to have taken the owl
train, Boston and Maine train, out of
Brattleboro. He testified also that he
drank no liquor in New York, but later
he said that Mr.. McElhinny treated him
a number of times there.
The hearing was resumed Monday after
noon, when Mr.. McElhnny was put on
the stand in his own behalf He sinh
stantiated the evidence of the plaintiff
with regard to his being hired to work
on the farm, but his version of the New
York trip and subsequent events was
very different He said that he bought
eight horses in New York and that he
telephoned to Mr.. Ullery to have Thaver
go to New York on the night train Jan.
"a, The failure of Mr.. Thayer to take
this train caused such delay in New
York that Mr.. McAhinny was Obliged
to pay IS extra for care of the horses az
the stable, also IS for taking them 10
the railroad station and shipping them,
MT Thayer's condition being such. he
SAID that he could not take care of them
These two Items together with IS which
MI. Ullery gave Thayer before he went
10 New York and So more which was
given him In New York, were put in as
oHsets TO Thayer's claim for payment
tor services at the farm. In addition TO
this the defendant deducted four davis
pay for the time that he claimed the
plaintiff was intoxicated and unable 70
work. "
Another claim made in offset against
the plaintiff was the value of A horse
Sl25' which died from injuries which II
was alleged were due to his negligence
while taking the horses to the farm. II
appeared from the testimony that Mr.
MGElhinny tied the five horses abreast
behlnd a woodsled and directed Thaver
TO sit on the back of the sled and keen
them straight 1t was admitted tbat
after time Thayer came forward ana
sat with the driver on the front of The
sea. one OF the horses was kicked on
Tuftdale testified that he was the driver
OF the sled and that Thayer got IN in
'front.' with him soon after Mr.. McElhinn,,
got out Of sight. c. o. Robbils testi,

MeElhInny Was Sued by Farm Hand for
Wages, but Jury Thought He Had
Claims Enough to Balance.
d. E. McEhinny of New York, who
is building a fine summer residence on
the old Ames farm on Ames hill, was
the defendant in suit to recover SIS,
brought by Walter II. Thayer, which
was tried before Justice F, d. f. Stowe
and jury Saturday and Monday. The
jury, composed of Brattleboro merchants,
returned verdict in his favor, and al
lowed him to collect the costs of the
suit from the plaintiff. The action was
fought as matter of principal and not
for the amount involved, and the battle
was a hard one, H. G. Barber appearing
for Mr.. Thayer and r. C. Bacon and
II. e. Whitney appearing for Mr.. Noel
hinny.
The hearing opened Saturday after
noon, when a jury consisting Of w. A.
Shumway, George NJ. Clay, ]. A. Hoad-
ley, A. F, Roberts, II. NJ, Wood and H.
p. Wellman was drawn. All the Satur-
day session was taken up with the testi-
mony of Mr.. Thayer He stated that he
had worked at the McElhinny farm the
greater part of last year as a carpenter
and man for general work about the
buildings. He had worked under Isaac
Robb, jr., who was in charge of the re-
construction. He testified that he was
hired by Mr. McElhinny Jan. IA to work
on the farm and take care Of horses, and
that he worked until Feb, G, when he
was discharged by Mr.. Robb. He
claimed that Mr.. McElhinny owed him
SIS for the time he had worked as he
had been paid only So.
Mr.. Thayer further testified that on
Jan. "a he was summoned by telephone
to New York by Mr.. McElhinny to take
charge of the transportation of some
horses from New York to Brattleboro.
that j. G. Ullery drove to Ames hill to
get him and that he did a few errands
In Brattleboro before going to the depot,
where he arrived two minutes TOO late
to catch the S,S4 train for New York. In
direct examination he was positive about
not having taken any liquor, but on
