Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1911-08-02

Come and investigate what has been
done at Morrisville.
Then your citizens with capital will
be anxious to invest their money at
home where it will bring them 20 per
cent per annum and be absolutely safe.
Where it would help increasethe value
of their other property and the whole
community.
Seeing is believing. Come and see.

Tribute to Vermont's Mountains.
The Springfield Republican,
journal of keen and conscientious dis
elimination. whose compliments are
to be priced all the more on that
account. pays the following deserved
and appreciated tribute to Mount
Mansfield and Cancels Hump:
The Burlington Free Press is ready
to say that no view in the White
mountains is to be compared with
that from Mansfield or Cancels Hump,
''looking down upon the beautiful
Champlain stretching almost as far as
the eye can reach in either direction"
and that newspaper is to be justified
in that contention. The addition of
water to a panorama Of nature lends
the concentrating element Of beauty.
This much granted, can any human
being explain why. Vermont's noun
tains should remain neglected by the
tourist world? We believe that it is
2 necessary simply to provide means Of
reaching Vermont's mountain peaks
with comparative comfort and ease and
to provide hocel accommodation for
visitors, once on the ground, to assure
the Green mountains the throng OF
visitors and admirers which is right
fully theirs.
How to bring about this consumma-
ton is the chief problem confronting
the promoters of Vermont as tourist
Mecca. burlington Free Press.
Fools and Grade Crossings.
The accounts of a grade crossing
fatality in the town of Coventry II
northern Vermont on Tuesday revea
that the condition of railroad track
and public highway crossing eact
other at grade was not entirely re
sponsible for the accident, although i
was, of course, the chief contributing
: cause. There was one other condition
which must be given due weight; AM
that was the utter foolhardiness o
e the driver Of the team who. though h.
saw the train approaching and ha
h ample time to halt his horse befor
reaching the railroad crossing, drov
{ reckle sly ahead under the belief tina
n he could cross ahead of the trai
l. which was travelling at the rate of
!. mile per minute, only to be struc
and killed, while another person i
II the carriage escaped injury by jump
ing when his judgment told him tina
8 collision was inevitable. However
the fact that the driver Of the team
deli berately entered the zone of dar
ger does not lessen the responsibility
81 of the general public toward abolishin
a. all grade crossings in the state. Thi
ly work must be done for the benefit {
S, the fools as we'll as for those who, III
ID Willingly, are thrown into danger bt
