VERMONT MOUNTAIN DEVELOP
MENT,

Much is being said these days about
development of natural resources. Nor
can too much be accomplished in this
direction. IT should not be forgotten
however. that our biggest asset of this
kind is to he found in our mountains,
just as New Hampshire has SO well
demonstrated in he- own cnse.
We have already SPOKEN at longth
of the measures which are being taken
Under the auspices Of the Greer Noun
tain club 20 develop Mount Mansfield
and Cancels Hump. It Is gratif.Tcg
to note that similar movements are in
progress In connection with other
famous mountain heights In our State
The Rutland Herald speaks of one of
their number as follows;
1.-THE Ascutney Mountain association
has taken practical measures to buy
ana improve 60 acres Of the summit
and set 1t apart for the use and enjoy
ment of the public. A committee has
been appointed TO solicit subscriptions
for the purpose named. An initial
subscription Of 500 was made by AL
Ian w. Evarts, ESQ, Of New York,
whose birthplace was Windsor. The
plan follows the general objects of the
Green Mountain club and will doubt
less embody the spirit Of the suygcs-
lions Of Ambassador Bryce in his Bur-
lington speech Of July 8, 1909. in which
he urged the necessity OF keeping open
the mountain SUBMITS for the benefit
and recreation OF tho people as we'll

GREAT CHANCE FOR A VERMONT
TOWN.

The Brattleboro Reformer speaks o.
of the Development Of an enormous
watcrpowet or The Connecticu: river
in that vicinity. The Rcforner says:
"Brattlehoro is face to face with the
greatest industrial opportunity that
ever has or ever WI. como within its
reach. If we take advantage of it
the result will lie an immediate in
crease in population Of between 1000
and 1900 people and all Of the benefits
that accompany such growth.
Men high up in the textile manufac-
turing business If the country have
made the local board Of trade a definite
proposition to locate high-grade tex
tile plant in this town. The factory
the men behind the proposition stand
ready to put in $3.50 900 of this amount
the minute Rrattleboro fulflls its
share Of the bargain. At the outset
the mill will employ no less than 800
persons, and within q few years its
payroll will doubtless include 1000
people.
"To secure this mammoth industry
Brattleboro Is asked to contribute a
Site, to give exemption from taxa tion
.or the period the law allows, TO take
Jtock TO the amount OF sl20,o00, and
TO give assurance that at least 80 new
houses will be erected and ready for
occupancy by the time the mill is
ready to start"
IN commenting on this announce
ment. the MONTPELIER Journal says:
"Brattleboro thinks It has the OPP
portunity to increase its population
from 1000 or 1,5o0 a single jump If it
can secure the cotton mill plant under
consideration. Montpelier wishes sue
cess TO its Windham county ne,Phhor.
Vermont needs a lot Of just such in
Austries to utilize our neglected water
power and furnish markets for our
farmers"
This Is the proper spirit to manifest.
Every town In Vermont. which shows
life in securing development of rs
interests, not only contributes to the
general prosperity Of the State but It
also serves as an excellent object les
son for its neighbors. We rejoice In
every bit of prosperity that comes to
any community within our borders.
