Derrick Breaks. Trains Delayed

About 25 men worked all day Sun
day putting in the steel railroad
bridge over the new underpass about a
mile south of the village. The job
would not have been a very long one
had not the steam derrick broken
down when the heavy bridge was
raised to be placed in position. The
breaking Of the derrick in three places
caused, however, a delay of nearly
four hours and the Montreal-Bosto ton
air line was held all of that time. A
large crowd from the village gath
cred to watch the work. The bridge
is 81 feet long and represents cost
of $4,000 and the whole cost of the un-
derpass is about $4,000 and the cost of
the underpass and new road which
will be completed in about two weeks
is from SIS, 900 to $40. ZOO to be paid
by the Boston & Maine railroad, the
town and the state as directed by the
Public Service Commission. The new
strip Of road is fine piece of work
and is now open for traffic. The
opening Of this. it is thought, will mean
much to Barton, as it gives more room
along the lake front and beside the
tracks for development.

Important Changes in Timetables.

It is rumored and undoubtedly true
that in the near future several i'm
portant changes in the train sched-
ules and time tables of the Boston &
Maine railroad will take place. Just
what these things will be no one is
able to state but rumor tells US many
things. What the truth may be the
Monitor does not pretend to know but
simply gives them as rumor. One
tale is that the Boston Montreal air
lines will cut Barton and Orleans and
other smaller places along the line and
with new and heavier and faster loco
motives will shorten the time between
Boston and Montreal by over an hour.
It is also said that all new cars will
go into these trains and that it will
be one of the finest in the country.
Another change that is said to be on
the schedule is the changing Of the
II 100 mail north at noon and the 4 :05
mail south in the afternoon and run
ming them in exactly the opposite di-
rections. What the changes will be
no one seems to know, but that impor-
tant changes are to take place seems
certain. Whatever they may be we
suppose the new management will make
them for the betterment Of the sys-
tenn as a whole. They will be watched
for locally with great interest

TO TAP ASBESTOS FIELD
Proposal to Have Legislature Require
Canadian Pacific to Build Line
within Two Years.

There is a difference OF opinion
among people in Lamoiile county and
territory reaching up into Orleans in
regard to the railroad proposition that
will soon be submitted. The Cana
dian Pacific has bought a franchise
that will permit it to run branch
line from North Troy up through the
Missisquoi valley and through to
Hyde Park and Johnson, tapping the
Lowell asbestos mines on the way.
Many Lamoille county people are
anxious to have that line built be-
cause it will furnish them through
connection with big trunk line.
Mr.. Gallagher, who is operating an
asbestos mine in the mountains Of
Lowell, is anxious to have the road
built an once and others who are in
terested in the asbestos properties
that might be developed are with him
in that idea. They care more about
marketing their product, present and
prospective than about connection for
all the surrounding country. MIR.
Gallagher or some one else repre-
senting him, will soon have presented
to the legislature a bill which will
require the Canadian Pacific to build
a line along the right OF way it has
acquired, within two years or aban-
don the charter.
The reason for this it is understood,
is that the Boston a0d Maine has
prog:iseu if Mr.. Gallagher will in
crease the output of his mine to 100
tons q day they will build line con-

Boys sho,Ad Not Get Hunters Licens,


John w. Titcomb of Lyndonville,
state fish and game commissioner, has
issued the following:
Attention has been called to the fact
that the fish ana game laws contain
no restriction concerning issuing Of
hunting licenses to young boys. This
apparent omission may have been due
to the fact that this particular question
IS covered Dy sections 5, 738 and 5, 739
Of the public statutes, which read {:
"Section 5,738-A person other than
a parent or guardian, who sells or fur
nl5hes minor under the age of Is
years a firearm or other dangerous
weapon, shall be fined not more than
$50 not less than SIC. This section
shall not apply to any instructor or
teacher who furnishes military weap-
ons to pupils for instruction and drill. !"
'*Section 5, 739-A child under the
age of fifteen years who, without the
consent of parents of guardian, has in
his possession or control pistol or re-
VOlver constructed or designed for use
OF gunpOWder or other explosive sub
stance, with leaden ball or shot, shall
be fined not more than $40 and costs. -
These two sections are not part of
the game laws, consequently their en-
fOrcement is not part of the duties
Of fish and game wardens. Wardens
or other persons interested may call
attention Of town grand jurors and
other qualified officials to violation OF
these sections. Town clerks should
not issue licenses to minors under Is
years and they will be so advised next
year.

Seat Drawing November IS.

The executive committee of the
Barton lecture association has set the
evening of Friday, Nov. 25, for the
drawing of the lecture course tickets
as designated by the cards. The event
will take place at the high school
building. Remember the date and the
place. All those who have not made
known their desire to secure seats
should see Prof. c. L. Erwin, j. W.
Murkland or Wallace H. Gilpin at once
so there will be no disappointments.
The same method cf choosing will be
used as last year. All pledges for
seats at an equal premium will be
placed together and drawn, and the
choice of seats registered. The high
est premiums will be drawn first. Ev
en- if no premium is paid it is much
better to see the committee and
have your card in with those not pay
ing premiums than to take a chance
in securing a seat after the drawing.
A canvass of the village has been
made but it is impossible to reach all
and those who have not been reached,
will confer favor upon the commit
tee as we'll as themselves by seeing
some member of the committee.
