We have met the enemy and we are
theirs
The beautiful dream of two main lines
of railroad through Brattleboro and of
hundreds of thousands of dollars spent
in improving the local railroad yard and
in erecting a model railroad station is
shattered.
Whether the dream, in all it's glitter
ing prospects, would have come true un-
der any circumstances is doubtful. Rail-
road companies in a hot battle are great
buffers and great promisers.
Neither of the railroad systems had
Trunk had beaten the New York New
Haven & Hartford in Rhode Island and
in Massachusetts, and Vermont was next
made the battlefield, with Brattleboro az
the objective point. The Grand Trunk
has won again. by vote of the Vermont
Senate.
The House passed the bill by a vote of
1856 to Sc, but the Senate lined up against
the measure 10 to II.
After the House had voted by ma
iority of so in favor of the charter the
Grand Trunk people were thoroughly
frightened. They offered a compromise
whereby they would bear all of the ex-
pense of raising the railroad yards in
Brattleboro, providing an underpass at
Bridge street and a new $4,000 passenger
station without expense to the town
The Boston & Maine were to have their
right of way until they reached the local
1.ar, and through tt were to have joint
traffic rights with the Grand Trunk over
the Grand Trunks iron.
Autopsies are comparatively easy, and
now that the project is n dead one il is
clear that this compromise would
have been a pretty good solution of the
problem, but Mr.. Stickney. the Boston
& Maine attorney, who engineered the
whole plan of campaign for that system,
was confident of winning, and insisted
on pushing his plans through. evidently
not counting upon what the situation
might be in case he met defeat instead
of victory.
The Boston & Maine with less AFRO
giant and more tactful leader than Mr..
Stickney might have accomplished bet
ter results.
The Brattleboro railroad committee
worked valiantly to secure the Boston e
Maine charter. and in this they were
supported by many business men of the
town, who went to Montpelier to attend
the various hearings
1t was expected that the vote in the
Senate would be close, but the Brattle-
boro supporters We're confident of win
ming there by a small majority. Nat
urally they are deeply disappointed and
chagrined at the result. Both of the
Windham county senators, Messrs. Ad-
ans and Butler, voted in favor of the
Boston & Maine charter.
The defense of some of the senators
who voted against the charter is that
they We're opposed to taking the prop
erty of one road and giving it to another.
The plan which was finally suggested
by the House conferees proposed to al
low the Boston & Maine to come into
the railroad yard via Vernon street and
to the west of the present Central Yer
mont tracks, on property not used for
railroad purposes, but even this plan
failed to receive any consideration from
the august senators who had voted down
the charter.

WILLIAM r. DALEY JUDGE.
viii Preside Henceforth over erattleboro
Municipal Court-Appointed by CIV
ernor Mead Yesterday.

William r. Daley, Of the law firm Of
Chase & Daley, was appointed by Gov.
John a. Mead of Rutland yesterday af-
ternoon judge of the Brattleboro NUM-
cipal court, which position carries with
it a salary of $1,000 a year and an allow
ance for office rent For several days the
position has been vacant on account of the
resignation of Col. Kittredge Haskins,
much interest has been manifested on
account of the fact that two men, T.. w.
Gibson and II. f. Eddy were judgeship
possibilities. Mr.. Daley was an active
worker in Governor Mead's behalf in the
gubernatorial campaign, so his appoint
ment was not unexpected. Mr.. Daley is
"a years old and is well grounded in the
law, and the attorneys look forward to a
successful administration of the office.
Mr. Daley studied in the office of Bar
Der e Darling in Bennington and was ad-
mitted to the bar in October, 1900 He
established an office soon afterwards and
practiced alone until March, 1907, when
he came here and formed a partnership
with Charles S. Chase who came at the
same time from Whitngham. The ap-
pontment will not effect the partnership.
Mr. Daley was appointed special prose-
cutor for Bennington town by Gov. w.
W. Stickney in 1902. and was elected
states attorney for two years in 1904. For
four years he was clerk of the NUM-
cipal court in Bennington, of which Mr..
Darling was judge. He served as viii
lage trustee. No arrangements have been
made for municipal court room.

Superintendent Ferguson of the Ver-

rather nasty charge that the press of
Vermont is largely and openly in league
with liquor or largely silent about it,"
large percentage of the Vermont
newspapers do not accept liquor adver-
tisements. Is this stand evidence of
being in league with liquor? The news
papers publish frequently genuine tenn
perance articles showing the folly and
the evil of intemperance, Perhaps Mr.
Ferguson places the newspapers "in

NEW ENGLAND WATER POWER.

The recent newspaper stories that
gigantic trust. backed by Standard Oil
money, is cOrrtlling the New England
water power situation are not believed
to have the slightest foundation in fact.
1t can, nevertheless, be stated that inter-
ests centered largely in Boston are now
in control of four of tie largest and most
promising power propositions east of
Niagara. According to their plans, de-
Velopment of these hydro o-electric enter
prses will utilize over 10000 horse
power that is estimated to be available,
reuqirng therefor an eventual eXpen-
diture of more than s1SO0O.OOo
One of the smallest of these PROPOSE
tions, Connecticut River Power Co., fl
nanced by Baker, Ayling e Co. has al
ready evolved through the outlay of over
$4,000. 0O0 into a highly profitable plant.
Its transmission lines are carrying %, 900
primary and 5000 secondary horsepower
to large manufa cturers within a territory
in this state extending from the Con-
necticut river, at the northern Massachu-
setts boundary, way to Worcester and
Fitchburg This company has contracted
for continuous sale of practically all
energy genera ted at its dam crossing the
river between Vernon, VT, and Hinsdale,
n. IT.
The record of the Connecticut River
Power Co. will, it is understood, be used
within a few months as a favorable ar
gument in financing development of pos
sibilties of the Deerfeld river by Deer
field Power Co., recently organized in
Vermont with broad charter rights. 1t IS
admitted that this system will he auXili-
airy to the Connecticut River Power Co.

tions have shown some $4,000 horsepower
available. This is likely however, to be

At present the most conspicuous of the

where about 100000 horsepower is believed

worked themselves into furore over this
| matter, now brought to an issue through
! introduction of a bill in the state legisla-

! Reservoir Co.
The opposition has been fostered largely
by Maine electric light companies. who

! Their fears do not at least find much
! basis in the Massachusetts program of
Connecticut River Power Co., which has
consistently refused to sell it's power
except "in bulk to large manufacturing

Moosehead lake would be drowned out
are unfounded, as the proposed develop

projects in question, showing horsepowers
