THREE VOTES FOR

Ottauquechee Grab Headed OFF
by the House.
Down and out |!

The bill empowering the Cham
plain Realty company to remove OBJ
structions in the Ottauquechee river
for the purpose of floating logs down
the stream was killed in the House
Thursday afternoon with a single
unanimous and resembling biff that
could he heard mile.
A handsome majority" as the
politicians say.
The news from the legislative
arena at Montpelier was received
here with much rejoicing. There
were many congratulations for Rep
resentative Billings for his untiring
and effective work, for all the mem
bers of Woodstock's delegates to
Montpelier. and for the whole valley
Besides Colonel Billings. Represent
atives Shattuck of Bridgewater and
A. A. Martin of Hartland have
opposed the bill, and they have been
unanimously supported by their con-
stituents.
The Champlain Realty company
retained about all the eminent legal
talent available-W. B. @. Stickney
of Bethel, @. II. Darling, and others,
while John Senter and w. A.
Lord of Montpelier represented the
opposition.
The bill was reported adversely by
the committee on conservation Thurs
day. Mr.. Stone of Wallingford offered
an amendment striking out all but
the enacting clause and the bill with
the pending amendment was ordered
to lie that the amendment could be
printed.
The bill came upas special order
at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
when Representative Billings spoke
for it and was followed by Mr.. Amey
of Brighton and several others, the
only remarks in opposition being
from Stone of Wallingford. The
speeches presenting the Ottauque-
chez side of the argument seem to
clear the air and when it came to a
vote the members were practically OF
one mind.
The substitute bill finally offered
by the company provided that it
should put up bond of 100000
with the secretary of state as a guar
antee of payment of any damages
resulting from the company's opera
such damages were
definitely appraised "a provision
which left an opening for perpetual
and made no votes.

women's Love of Dress.

The real defense for women in
their growing love for dress seems
to us to be this--that dress is rec
reation, one of those natural recre-
atoms which grow out of necessity
and out of everlasting emotions. 1t
is nothing against recreation that
the frivolous rich suffer from over
indulgence in it or the frivolous
poor from that craving for it which
has its roots in privation. The love
of dress among women-especially,
we think, in it's modern manifesto
ton, which emphasizes variety
makes, we believe, for social bal
ance.--London Spectator.
