his advanced age. Up to the time of
his final Illness he had retained not
only his memory but his physical ac-
tivity was unusual. He was accus-
toned to go about the building and
the grounds with much more ease
and comfort than was the case with
many other inmates who were his
juniors by more than a score OF
years.

house at the foot of Mount Anthony
In the western section of the town

Samuel and Patty (Rudd) Wadsworth
and he was the youngest and only
survivor OF a family of ten children
In his active years he was stage
driver on the old Troy and Boston
route before any railroad line was
built into southern Vermont. A Wig
orous. active man he had acquired
in his boyhood an attachment for
outdoor life, and In later years be-
came an ardent sportsman and train
er of bird dogs. Like many men who
live close to nature he possessed an
extremely sensitive disposition. While
hunting pigeons on the Hunt estate
which is now the site of the Vermont
Soldiers Home he accidentally fired
in the direction OF his companion,
Mason Morrison, and a single bird
shot destroyed the sight OF one OF
Morrison's eyes. Wadsworth's re-
greet over the incident was so keen
that he never again took a gun into
the woods.
He became a member of Stark
lodge OF Bennington June 90. 1850. He
held nearly all OF the offices in the
lodge including that of vice grand,
but refused that OF presiding official

GRAND TRUNK EXTENSIONS
May Build so Miles In Vermont
Providence Work Delayed.

PROVIDENCE WOFk OcidlCu.
Boston. Nov. 24-Although the
Southern New England Railway com
pany has Just filed a 100000 bond
to protect owners OF land which may
be taken for its proposed line from
Palmer to Providence, it is believed
that. because OF extremities OF win
ter weather, not much actual con-
struction work can be done on this
Grand Trunk extension before next
spring. II is officially stated that the
work will then be pushed to compile
ton at the earliest possible date.
The Grand Trunk management Is
considering a proposition for build
ing another 90 mile New England
line. between Waterbury and North
Troy, Vt. The cost of such a step
would probably approximate $1,000
600, and the line would undoubtedly
secure valuable connecting and other
traffic. This would prove another
counter move in the rivalry with the
Canadian Paciiic-Boston & Maine
roads.
Concerning expansion of Grand
Trunk lines in Canada, General-Assis-
tant Cy Warman, who has been in
Boston this week, says.
Railways in Canada are prosper
Gus, and the eastern factories busy.
Thanks 10 her political 'modus oper-
andi, the Canadian government never
sleeps. II. II. H. the governorgener-
al sits tight in the palace, while the
government changes shift and bust
ness continues at the old stand.
"The Canadian administration just
retired has spent and supervised the
expenditure of a quarter-billion dol
lars In railroad construction within
the past few years, and the new ad-
ministration will within the next six
years watch expenditure of an equal
amount While about S20,OOO,OOO
worth OF construction work Is under
way in United States. fully 10 times
that amount is arranged for In Can
ada. which has only one.twelfh the
population of this country.
THE new administration has an
nounced its intention TO go ahead
with building Hudson Bay railway TO
Fort Churchill, which. however. will
not be much OF factor in moving
wheat owing TO length of the closed
season in the region II Is proposed ia
traverse. In line with this belief, r.
b. Bennett. member from Calgary, has
Just, in his initial speech In the Cana
dian Parliament. come out strongly
urging improved shipping facilities
at Prince Rupert and Vancouver "a
care for traffic which he wisely pre-
diets is certain to flow from Alberta
with completion Of the Panama
canal"
As a provision for anticipated in
tcreased traffic offerings, the Grand
Trunk has this week placed orders
for 1000 more freight cars.
