II is natural that the st. Adams Mes
senger should take up the cudgel in be-
half of the Central Vermont railroad
against some statements from the Hart
ford Times, such as this: That the
Central "has lot of old iron strung
along from the Canada line to New Lon
don't is natural for the contemporary
TO be disguised because of its alliance But
there is something more back of the
protest; it is the justice of the thing,
The Hartford paper thinks the Cen
trail Vermont roadbed is in no condition
to transport the immense freight which
the Grand Trunk proposes to carry from
the West to the Atlantic when sea.
port on the latter shall have been Sc
cured. In refutation of that, it is only
necessary to point to the huge trains of
Barre granite which go out over the
Central Vermont at regular intervals for
the middle West. II any roadbed is
subjected to heavy traffic it is the Cen
trail Vermont's northward from Mont
pelier Junction, and the roadbed has
stood up under the strain quite we'll.
Therefore, it is scarcely right or justice
to assert that the roadbed is not in
condition. What the Central Vermont
does need is double trackage which will
divide the strain of the heavy trains
as much as possible, as well as doing
away with many collisions that are due
to railroading on a single track. If
the Grand Trunk proposes to send it's
continental traffic to the Atlantic coast
over the Central Vermont auxiliary, it
will become imperatively necessary to
doubletrack the system; and that move
ment seems likely at a reasonable date

"R. w. Hulburd returned from the
West yesterday. He says Vermont is a
paradise alongside of the western coun-
try"
Evidently the silver-throated Hyde
Parker didn't lose his sweet, silyery
tones out West either. Anyway, such
words from man of his experience and
discernment ought to help little to-
ward influencing Vermonters to stick by
their home state. There isn't so much
of tendency nowadays to HE away
to the glamorous western country, but
there is still too much of drain on
Vermont. So Mr.. Hulburd deserves COM
mendation for putting in his word about
his visit to the territory.
