The Burlington Free Press says;
Since the acceptance of the gift of
Fort Frederic on Crown Point by the
Legislature of New York from the
firm of Witherbee, Sherman & Co., 4
number of people who are interested
in preserving the historical points
along the lake are engaged in an at
tempt to have the ruins put into some
such shape as are those at Fort Ii
conderoga. Although no great battle
was ever fought on this point, it has
almost as interesting a history and in
some ways surpasses it, 1t was Sc
lected by the French for the strongest
fertilization on the lake and after the
destruction of the first fort, General
Amherst erected another at an eX-
pense to the English government of
$10,O00,000. The ruins of the second
fort are in a fair state of preserva-
ton and, although the work was new
er completed, the outlines of what
on this continent at that time can be
plainly distinguished The fort was
never named but is known as Fort
Frederic from the name of the first
fort, which was christened by the
French.
The walls of the old fort are still
standing and the large bitches dug by
English soldiers nearly two centuries
ago for meats are easily traced The
fort abounded in secret passages and
tunnels which were in vogue in CO.
lonial times and now they are plainly
outlined. One leading to the lake
has filled in at points but it's course
is plain. A short distance from the
fort, Israel Putnam, afterwards Gen
eral Putnam of Revolutionary fame,
was captured by Indians and bound

In the fourth round Wolgast injur-

Form Vermonters' Association.

Associations of Vermonters in the
different parts of the West have al
ways attracted a good deal of atten-
ton from those promoting the homo
coming celebrations in our good old
native State, and incidentally have re-
suited in many social gatherings in
different sections of this western
country" recently remarked a vener-
able Vermonter residing in Council
Bluffs, Iowa.
BY way of further comment this
same gentleman remarked that con-
sidering the number of Vermont Yam
KEGS in Council Bluffs there is no rea-
son why an active association of this
character could not be organized
there and made to be of mutual en-
joyment and profit. Acting on this
suggestion Rev. S. Grant Lewis has
been delegated a sa committee for
the stipulation that he draught as
many native born Vermonters as he
sees fit to assist him in the project.
The names of all native born Green
Mountain Yankees are earnestly So
licited in order that the organization
may be effected in the near future.
