BOSTON & MAINE AWARD CONTRACT
obook Cabot Rollins Will Begin at Once to Prepare Roadbed
Steam ShoyeIs Shipped to Hinsdae-A Local Complication

Within the next two weeks, If not
within the coming week, large force
of men will begin grading for the road
bed of the proposed Boston & Maine
extension from Brattleboro to Hinsdale
and South Vernon. On Monday of this
week the contract for the grading was
awarded to the Holbrook, Cabot e. Rol-
lins corporation of Boston, and some of
their men already are on the ground
making preliminary arrangements.
The contract calls simply for grading
the right of way on the New Hampshire
side of the river from point about op-
posite the canning factory south of the
Brattleboro railroad yard to the bridge
crossing the river at South Vernon. 1t
does not call for the construction of the
railroad or for building a bridge over
the river at Brattleboro. This informa-
ton comes to The Phoenix from the
Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins corporation.
Between 100000 and 100000 yards of
earth will have to be moved in making
the cuts and fills, and the work must be
completed by Oct 1 of this year. This
work will require the services of sew
eral hundred men, who will come prin-
cipally from New York and Boston, also
a large amount of machinery. Five
steam shovels will be used, also 10 or
more locomotives.
Frederick Holbrook, head of the firm
having the contract, will have personal
charge OF the work. He is grandson
of the late ex-Gov. Frederick Holbrook
of Brattleboro and has charge of the
New York Office of the firm William
B. Cabot of Boston, son of N. F. Cab
OF of this town, was a member of the
firm until about four years ago. The
other member is ]. w. Rollins of Bos-
ton. They are the principal contractors
for the New York, New Haven e. Hart
ford railroad system. Mr.. Holbrook was

From the most authoritative sources
the standing of the delegates in the va
rious counties is as follows:

From these figures IL will be seen that
Taft has lead of 1888 over Roosevelt in
the state, not figuring the 12 in the
doubtful column. This great lead Is
largely in the first district
The counties in the first district are
Addison, Bennington, Chttenden, Frank
lin Grand Isle, Lamoille and Rutland,
having total vote OF 34l Those coun-
ties give Taft 249. Roosevelt SO, doubtful
3, Taft's lead over Roosevelt being 160,
not counting the doubtful column.
In the second district the margin is
much smaller. The second district
counties are Caledonia, Essex, Orange,
Orleans, Washington, Windham and
Windsor, having a total vote of 357. The
above table gives Taft 1888 in this district,
Roosevelt 100, with doubtful, Tafts
lead over Roosevelt being 2S outside the
doubtful column.
In Windham county Rockingham,
Townshend, Westminster Putney, Gull
ford and Halifax elected Roosevelt dele
cations, Wardsboro Windham and Ver-
non are reported to be divided and all the
other towns went for Taft. A large
majority of the total vote cast in the
county was for Taft,
Wildly extravagant claims as to the
showing of the caucuses were tele-
graphed Sunday to President Roose-
welt by Rough Rider Batchelder of Beth
ell. Judge Gibson, c. III. Thompson and
| others, and the colonel wired back words
of encouragement.

in Brattleboro Wednesday and drove
over the line, returning to New York
that afternoon. He will come again
within a few days.
1t Is probable that the railroad COM
pany's construction gang will follow the
grading gang as closely as possible so
that the double track may be finished
practically as soon as the roadbed is
ready. Some of the equipment is on the
way and the men will come as soon as
quarters can be provided for housing
them. With the grading, construction
and bridge gangs at work the line of
the road will be a scene of marked ac-
tivity this spring, summer and fall. An
interesting story of the developments in
Hinsdale is given in the Hinsdale cor
respondence in this paper.
Soundlngs have been made in the
river where the new bridge will cross.
but no borings have been made to de-
termine the character of the river bed.
1t can be seen however, that the west
end OF the bridge will have a rock
foundation.
Several Boston & Maine engineers
have been in Brattleboro the past week
surveying the railroad yard and Vernon
street to secure data relative to en-
larging the yard for the accommodation
of both Central Vermont and Boston &c
Maine roads, and Chief Engineer J. M.
Morrison of the Central Vermont road
is in town with reference to the pro-
posed changes.
The only other development of the
week in the railroad situation is a pro-
ceeding brought by the Twin State Gas
& Electric company to obtain title to
the land 1t now occupies in the rail-
road yard, through eminent domain
proceedings, which may complicate mat
ters. A story of those proceedings is
given on another page in this paper

COMPLEMENTARY

The Roosevelt leaders declare in one
breath that they have carried Vermont
and in the next that the state will be
stolen from them. Just look at these two
statements carefully and see what high
compliment is being paid by the Roose-
welt men themselves to the delegates
they claim they have elected.

DR.. Edgar L. Hewett, director of the

The palace, a relic of the Mayas,

when the Roman empire was in pro-
