then paced up and down outside the

him back TO the shop. Having ex-

SAVING THE WASTE.

That the Boston & Maine is going
into the economy regime with a ven
geance is indicated by the statement tina;
hereafter old railroad ties. which were
formerly given away to the persons
willing to carry them off, will be dis.
posed Of at five cents each. One cannot
imagine a large return to the railroad
from such sale, but still it will help a
little to cut down that million dollar
deficit. Moreover, the new plan is only
an exemplification of an idea which Is
gaining ground rapidly, viz, the utiliza'
tion of waste materials. II has beer
found that the most successful bushes;
is that in which there is the least waste
In the railroad business there is huge
quantity Of wood which becomes useless
for roadbed, but it is still excellent
fuel; and single railroad tie is worth
five cents for frewood Therefore. al.
thought il seems like small business iol
a great transportation company to g
into the business Of selling useless rail-
road ties, it is, nevertheless. the saving
of waste, which is an indication OF high
development Of business.

The fact is that the days Of these golden
months offer the very best opportunities

Bringing this proposition before the

while little information is given to this

know that the real survey has been made

struction have been submitted bv engi.
neers Of known ability, which fact proves
beyond a question that our antcipations
will be blessed with the realization. Thi,
procedure, although we adniit long de,
veloping, yet is far from lifeless. Ii
takes time to bring about changes OF
this size and character and the nro-
moters should receive the hearty co.
operation from everybody in the district
where this survey has been made. II is
with this as with the Depot Square Drug
store; at first it looked as though II
would be of little use, but tile older it
grows and the longer it runs, the more
people realize its usefulness and the in.
creased patronage is appreciated The
fact alone that the business has taken
the start it has proves that this city
needs this store, and we assure the pat
ronage we need their support to give the
goods and service that they require.

In the opinion OF the Mortified News,
We were wrong in stating that the vii.
Jamestown Gulf route via Barre is a
more direct highway route between
Montpelier and White River Junction
than the Mortified Gulf route via
Mortified. We confess that our asser-
tion was made without figures OF mile
age at hand, our impression having been
gained by automobile trips over the two
routes. If the Mortified Gulf route, as
the contemporary understands it, runs
from Mortified through East Brantree
TO Randolph and Bethel thence to East
Bethel and to Royalton, we are still
under the impression that such route
would be less direct than the Williams
town Gulf route. However, it is small
matter and scarcely worth quarreling
about, although we should like some
accurate figures on the matter

Announcement is made by the Water
William P. Dillingham; will not allow his
name to be used to head the Vermont
delegation to the next Republican ma
tional convention, inasmuch as he has
twice been honored in this way and now
"feels that the favor should be given
to someone else Those Vermont Re-
publicans who regret that decision will
at the same time admit the force of the
senior senator's position, Moreover, it is
likely that Senator Dillingham; will have
enough on his hands without having
this additional responsibility shouldered
onto him.

1t is instructive to note that the
American Society for Municipal I'm
provement decided at its recent conyen-
tion in Grand Rapids that granite blocks,
as compared with brick, asphalt, wood
block and bituminous mixtures, are,
when laid on secure foundation, better
for heavy traffic. This fact was already
known to most Barre people, but the an
nouncement is interesting as showing the
more general spread Of the knowledge.
1t was also decided that the similar
blocks Of granite for pavement are more
in demand. But whether the blocks be
small or large, granite is standing the
test of the years, while Others fall.

OF all those Vermont school teachers
who win attend the state convention
there this month, here's her neighbor,
Barre, which can be depended upon to

Not many. The official year book of
