Brattleboro Made Good Start but
Could Not Keep It's Lead,

A beautiful start, which gave the Brat

which furnished the home rooters an even
better opportunity to use their lungs, tells
in brief the story of the game which Keene
won from the Islanders at keene Wednes
day afternoon by score of to 2. In
the first few innings there was every indi
cation that Brattleboro was going to get
to Burns in a way that would insure a vic
tory for the league leaders, but the light
haired boy from Bennington grew better
as the contest progressed and after the
fifth did not allow a single safety. Up to
the sixth inning Jackson allowed only two
hits, but in that session he was discovered
for three that netted one run and in the
seventh had allowed one hit and pass
when he was replaced by BosB, who was
found twice in the remaining sessions
One of these hits, however was made
when there were two men on bases and
scored two of the four tallies that were
gathered in the fatal seventh.

A Sensible Policy.

State Highway Commissioner Charles W
Gates has sent a letter TO the first select
man of each town in the state, in which h
says
II want to cali your attention to one Of
two matters that | believe are being neg
lected in almost every town IN the state
matters that the law requires the select
men to look after
''The first is the cutting of bushes be
side the highway, and the law places th'
supervision OF the cutting OF these bushes
on these selected highways in the hands o.
the state officers.
Il wish you would at once look over the
main highways of your town and see that
the bushes are cut back promptly so thai
they will not interfere with the highway
in any way. Cut them back especially or
the bad turns that make the road danger
GUS in meeting automobiles; this is espeel
ally essential for the safety of the mar
driving the horse In doing this. however
be very careful to preserve every shade
tree that stands proper distance back
from the highway that will add TO The
beauty of the highway, no matter how
small the tree may be Caution along thls
line will, after a while, make Vermont {
highways the talk OF the world, and hope
you viii cooperate with us IN trying tt
beautify the highways Just as fast as possi
BILE You will also look out for the cutting
OF bushes on your own town roads as the
law requires you to do,
"Another suggestion | wish TO make i
the matter of erecting proper sign boards
to direct the traveller. ind IN many towns
an abundance Of these signs that causes
any amount Of inconvenience. Other towns
have done splendidly and are causing a
great deal of favorable comment, II you
have not already attended to this matter
please do SO promptly, as conditions OF
travel are changing very rapidly and the
need of these signs is more imperative to
day than it ever was
In very many towns one of two things
has happened Either the bushes have not
been cut and have crowded out INTO the
road or every green thing between the
wheel track and the fence has been cut
The state is fortunate in having as the
head of its highway system man who ap
preciates the beauty and the value OF shade
trees. and who issues his directions accord
ing to his ideas and his ideals. If this
policy had been pursued for the past 81
wears by this time most OF our Vermont
roads would have been beautifully shaded
Almost every person who has occasion tc
drive over our highways In summer draws
a long sigh of relief when a shady stretch
OF road is reached and wishes that it might
be longer,
The matter of guide boards is one that
ought not to be neglected. The expense OF
providing such directions is not large, and
their value to travellers is great. Often a
stranger must 60 a considerable distance
out Of his way before he comes to house
where he can inquire as to the proper road
to take.
. Commissioner Gates is doing good work
and deserves hearty commentator for the
intelligent manner in which he is perform
ing the duties Of his important office.

ball tossers from up the river The score
was 4 to o. Only 80 batsmen faced the
Brattleboro pitcher and only one OF them
went farther than second base. Cronin
pitched well for Bellows Falls, but the
seven hits that he allowed came al times

inning was something like repetition OF
the first, with Old Dame Fortune pulling
still harder for the home team With
two down Koran singled and Murray did
the same, Mcleod receiving ball IN the
stomach and filling the bases. Then Edgar
hit a fy into short right field. Nolk got
under the ball and grabbed it, but at that

Proof enough that there is need for limit.

Developing Vermont Water Power
Burlington News. J

burlington News
Two gigantic schemes are In the lnltla-
tory stage in southeastern and eastern Yer
mont, the ultimate effect of which will be
OF far-reaching importance Both schemes
are projected by the people back of the
Connecticut River Power company, which
owns the great dam and power plant at
Vernon, near Brattleboro
The first scheme is an interstate affair;
lit contemplates damming the Deertield
river in four places near Shelburne Falls,
Mass as well as the creation OF a reservoir
at Somerset, in this state, where water Will
be impounded to d height Of 100 feet and
over an area of approximately six square
miles The ultimate development Of power
will be to a large extent in Vermont, we
are told. the financial interests already
owning the power sites and tiowage rights
necessary Work will be begun shortly
both in Vermont and Massachusetts, it is
lannounced
While engineering estimates are SAID to
show provision for generating plant and
transmission lines for some $4,000 horse
power, it is said to be likely to be only a
step in the eventual development of Deer
field river water-power rights now con
trolled by the same interests. Such devel-
opment, however doubtless will be spread
over future years, and it is figured that IT
will entail expenditures of between Sl2-
900 and Sl4,00O,000
1t is expected that very large use Of the
electric power will be found and developed
in the Deerfield valley, both IN Vermont
and Massachusetts,. What is not used in
the Deerfeld valley will be transferred by
line to the power-station at Vernon and
thence distributed. 1t is expected that If
the demand is sufficient a line will be run
to Bennington.
While the electric current will thus be
carried across southern Vermont, a line
will probably be run half way across cen
trail Vermont. 1t is announced that opera
tions for the development OF several thou
sand electrical horse power at Seven Mile
RAPIDS, on the Connecticut river, at point
near East Barnet, about eight miles south
of St. Johnsbury, have been started. The
farms in the low lands along the river,
which are to be flooded, have been pur-
chased, it is said. The construction of a
back the waters of the river a distance OF
nearly Is miles, is soon to be begun.
Power from the plant will, it is expected,
be transmitted to Montpelier and Barre.
The importance of the plan is shown by
this statement of the Barre Times
Barre granite manufacturers, who dur
ing the past weeks have been forced to suf-
fer shutdowns because of lack of power,
are very hopeful that remedy is at hand.
The growth of Barre and Montpelier Is
likely to be retarded greatly if the present
failure to furnish electric power to all dur
ing the summer months is continued, as
new concerns, which depend on electricity,
will be afraid to take any chances in such q
location Therefore, the new concern will
find a ready market here for its power If
the other conditions of the sale are salts

With cheap and unfailing power trans.
mitted over half the state, the advent of
the New Vermont should be appreciably

a sportsmanlike manner
That the pennant. for which the teams
OF the Twin State league are now fighting
will 60 to Brattleboro if il is within
human possibility to accomplish such a re.

superb playing the Islanders have become
thoroughly intrenched behind the assured
support Of the indicator holders who pre-,
side over the game as censors.
AT the opening Of the season the gov
eminent OF the umpires was given over en-
tirely to II. c. Rice of Brattleboro. This
move is now considered to have been a
mistake If any teams of the league ex-
pected that a close decision in game with
the Islanders would 60 any way but Brat

BRATTLEBoRo. FRIDAY, SEPT, /. 1911

One of the most interesting and strenu-
Gus campaigns that New England has ever
known. campaign that il attracting at
tentiop from coast to coast, will terminate
ON September II when the voters OF Maine
will give in their ballots to determine
whether or not the policy of constitutional
prohibition of the liquor traffic, which has
prevailed for more than a quarter OF
century, shall be retained. For weeks past
the state has been flooded with literature
sent out by both the proponents and OPP
ponents of the move to take prohibition
out Of the constitution, while hundreds OF
speakers have voiced their sentiments at
public gatherings. Constitutional prohlbl-
ton, in which Maine was pioneer, was
first adopted in 1884 For IL years the
prohibitory law remained undistnrbed OF
serious attack In 1901 bill for resub-
mission of the subject was before the
Legislature, but only 81 votes could be
mustered in its favor. In 1907, similar
resolve was barely defeated. In the state
campaign last year, resubmission was one
of the chief issues, the democrats taking
a stand in favor of giving the voters another
chance to pass upon the question and the
republicans standing pat on prohibition,
which had been the party's policy for 90
years. The election of a democratic gov.
ernor and a democratic Legislature settled
the question of resubmission and it remain
ed only for the formal vote TO be passed
at the state.house. A few republicans vot-
ing with the democrats, made the vote
sure. Although both sides are already
claiming victory, conservative people, re-
CARELESS of their belief, admit that there
is decided doubt as to the outcome and
this doubt increases as the time for the
election draws nearer The fight will not
be settled by strict party vote, for there
are many prohibitionists among the demo

ranks
