VERMONT GRANITE; AND THE RAIL.
HOADS

The manner in which the granite in
other States may be affected by the
railroads in other sections OF the
country as well as at home, is illus
trated by the Boston Transcript IN
connection with Il consideration OF the
appeal recently granted the whole
sale granite dealers by the Interstate
Commerce commission. 1t says that
although the decision will not be
made until next October Commissioner
Charles \. Prouty himself "A Yer
montcr and familiar with the granite
business. made IL evident that the
| commission viii not lack an intelli-
gent presentation of the facts upon
which the manufa cturers of Barre
Quincy Westerly and other centres of
the monumental trade have based
their complaints.
"When the Roosevelt proposals for
rate regulation We're before the coun-
| try one of the stock examples OF the
| needlcssness of governmental inter
ference was the benehcence of
! the railroads toward the granite

A LOSS TO VERMONT ALSO.
ttrom the Barre Tines

The complete destruction Of the hotel
Champaign at Bluff Point. ~ Y. recent
Is carries with It a greater Joss than
is realized at first thought. Ever since
the hotel was constructed IN 1890, it
has been the leading hosiery Of tho
New York and Vermont lake zion SUM
mer resorts. Large and well appointed.
/; has attracted patronage from all parts
Of the country. particularly from New
York city and other OF the ctuters Of
popula ton in the East. the patrons being
generally persons OF considerable wealth
and. therefore, spending money freely
during their weeks ana months of stay
there. Gradually, the hotel had gained
a reputation for itself and had thereby
given the Lake Champlaln region Il Ger
tain desirable publicity as a splendid
place to spend the summer, and undo,
this leadership other hotei projects sprang
up on both sides of the lake and through
the islands In the northern part of Cham
plain, until II great current OF summer
visitors was diverted in that direction.
Tho Bluff Point hotel undoubtedly led
In entertainment, because OF It's great or
facilities and because OF its superb oca-
panse of Lake Champion, but through
II much money was brought to Vernon;
and to tho other side, well.
1t is said that the hotel Chanplain
a lone was not a decided success from the
| financial standpoint of the owner. which
was the delaware 4 Hudson railroad
| but WAS valuable IN the amount of traffic
| which II brought TO the railroad during
the summer months. This fact indicates
| that the hosiery will be rebuilt and
| the belief is further streuathened by the
general consent that better location
| could not be found for a big summer re-
| sort business than on the upper shores
| OF Like Champaign The site Is right
In the midst Of this noble pleasure
ground, the most delightful region OF
eastern America" as Ambassador James
Bryce declared In speaking at the Cham
plain tercentenary exercises last summer
| II would be a serious blow to the sum
mer business In this region II the hotel
| should not DO rebuilt. And even in case
| the hotel Ia reconstructed, there will be
a serious temporary loss to ali hotel and
summer resort keepers. before 1t is ready
| for business.

RECOLLECTION OF REPRESENTA-.

The reelection of efficient repre-

there is increasing recognition of this

According to precedent Judge e. w.
Quinn of Indcrhill, who has served
but one term will he given q renom-

tho fact that Judge j. al Allen Of

1t has also been suggested that Judge
w. NJ Barber OF Wllliston. who has
served two terms, might he given a
third in case of mix-up over the
situation. 1t is understood that South

has also been suggested in connection
with this Office Will be urged to accept

tween Boston or Barre and any point
OF the far South will often exceed the
value of the monumental work itself
Tho charge was made at the hear
ing by Representatives OF the granite
dealers and the transportation com
mittce Of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce that this class lflcation was cs-
tablished for the purpose OF aiding
the granite industries Of tho South,
which. having a shorter haul, would
find tho rates relatively less cxorhi
tant and would be gamers from the
unfair competition.
It appears that stoves, typewrltcrs.

Gotta ornaments and various other
things which are carried at nth and
sixth class rates with unrcstrcted
valuations. net the roads n far lower
income than that contributed by the
con signments of the monumental trade.
The railroads, from tho figures cited.
appear to be ovcrtaxing this industry.
and from the consumer standpoint to
be adding to the cost o, dying.
Every Intelligent man realizes that
1t Is difficult In tho extreme for a pa
iron of the railroads to successfully
make a contest for tho recognition Of
! what he may regard as his rights.
IN this particular case the defence lay
| chiefly In the liability Of monumental

ity which the compliments claim is in

Prouty to take place on June %.
