Runaway Mule-Load of Dynamite.

"Rules should be suspended and red

runaway mule attached to a load
of dynamite may be uncommon enough
in Massachusetts, to merit the above
preachment, but not in Vermont. Such
combinations of destructive elements are
so common here that they excite only
passing attention at most and oftenest
not even that.
For instance. il man of superior quail

load of dynamite pricks up his ears.
The mention is passed along and about
the time the mans name gets sound
ed thrice, away goes mule and dynamite
up the road.
And also, some man meekly betrays
a desire to serve the public good in any
one of many possible ways. He may
wish to give a mountain top to the
state or something of the kind or con

BARREs RAILROAD MEETS.
Set Forth In Article In Boston Monitor
of January 20.


Barre, VIA campaign for better
and more direct freight service has been
inaugurated here as result of the con
stantly increasing shipments of granite
nearly 100000 tons OF which were sent
out last year in the rough or finished
product
"The approximate value of the an
nual shipments of Barre granite is S.
100000.
There is said to be large amount
of granite that cannot be used for monu-
mental work which could be used for
building or other construction work if
short, quick and cheap freight service
were available.
Barre wants and needs through main
line service. The distance between
Montreal and Boston via White River
Junction would be shortened about eight
miles if the main line of the Central
Vermont were to pass by the Gulf route
through Montpelier, Barre Williams
town, Brookfied, East Randolph and
connect with present line above South
Royalton.

mont, extending from Montpelier juno

to Barre tsix miles,, thence to Will

structed), where it stops instead of con-
tinuing by the Williamstown Gulf route.

conditions and the freight output The

the past year have come under the con-
troll OF the Boston & Maine New York,
New Haven q Hartford interestsl, runs
from Wells River to Montpelier, with
branch to Barre and from there to
the Barre quarries.
During the past year the New York,
New Haven & Hartford interests Dos
ton & Mainel have surveyed from Barre
through the Gulf route Barre, Will
Jamestown, Brookfield, East Randolph
and Royalton). The parties represent
ing these interests have purchased sew
eral hundred acres of land located on
or near Williamstown Gulf, through
which a road over this short, easy grade
"ohiu pass.
During the past season the Central
Vermont has run each week from one
TO three special, all granite trains from
Barre and Montpelier through direct
to Port Huron, Mich, and on to other
western points, thus giving a quick. i'm
proved service which has been much APP
preciated.
"The Boston & Maine has either to
deliver its Barre granite shipments
bound west to the Central Vermont or
haul them to Wells River t40 miles,
thence to Newport and deliver them to
the Canadian Pacific railroad or from
Wells River to Bellows Falls and deliver
them to the Rutland, or from Wells Riv-
err to st. Johnsbury, thence over the
st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain rail
road, and 10 miles of the Central Yer
mont, and deliver to the Rutland rail
road at Albany. Either of the three
last makes long haul.

The possibilities for death in the burn
ing OF Holy Cross college at Farnham,
?. O., early yesterday morning were so
great that the alleged confession of one
of the $50 students that he set the fire
is astounding. If it be a fact, as the
boy is alleged to have confessed, it was
wickedly perverted training that he
must have had before going to the in
stitution; the boy himself is not so
much to be blamed, although, of course,
he should be placed where the same
mania cannot assert itself again.

A Road Properly Maintained.

That part of the Princeton Elk
River road between Zimmerman and
Elk River was never in better con-
dition than it is at present. There
is patrol on that stretch of road
and the road is kept in constant re-
pair. The split-]og drag is freely
used and any little rut or de preston
in the roadway is speedily leveled up
with gravel. AS result the road is
in fine condition. After a road is
properly constructed it should be
kept up, and that is what is being
done on the road in question. The
cost is comparatively small; a man
and team two or three days each
week sutfices the cost does not ex-
coed probably $40 per mile for the
entire season.

Fire at Johnson Home.

Smoke was discovered issuing from
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M.
johnson shortly after o'clock on
Monday morning by one of the chill
dren in the high school building, and
no time was lost in notifying the fire
department., which hurried to the
scene. 1t was found that fire had
started on the second story, either
from an electric wire or an oil stove,
and had crept up the walls to the at
tic and spread out in various direc-
tions. A stream of water was
thrown in at an upper window and
the fire soon extinguished, but not
before damage had been effected
which will run into hundreds of dol
lars.
Walls, doors and ceilings we're
ruined, Mrs. Johnson lost a large
quantity of wearing apparel, and fur
niture and rugs were practically de-
stroyed by smoke and water. The loss
to both building and contents was
covered by insurance.

Indications for Hiaher Prices.

Vim. r. Mckenzie, the boomer of
the Northern. Minnesota Develop
ment association, predicts that pota-
toes will bring one dollar per bushel
at the local markets by the first OF
January. Mr.. Mckenzie is too optimis-
tic. We would not advise farmers to
hold their tubers with the epxecta-
ton of realizing that price. But we
are inclined to believe that prices
will go higher than they are at pres
emit. Anyhow, it is not good policy
to glut the market at this season of
the year. If potato-raisers rush
their crop to market all lat once
prices will notsgo up Don't crowd
the market: There is nothing to be
gained by SO doing.

Chafin Comes to Town.

Eugene W. Chain, candidate for
president on the prohibition ticket,
spoke on the street here on Saturday
and many people listened to his dis
course. Mr.. Chain put up some
very good arguments in favor of the
platform which his party has built
and paid his respects to presidential
candidates who are running against
him. He said in part: Taft is a
judge, a fine man. Wilson is a
scholar, a writer of books, some of
which he would like to forget, and
we always have Teddy with US. He
is supposed to know everything, and
admits it. Governor Wilson says,
get rid of the liquor traffic, reduce
the tariff. Taft says, keep the tariff.
Teddy says both are liars, and that
the tariff has nothing to do with it..

Prosperity and Good Roads.

LAS communities progress in civ
ilization they demand better and ever
better methods of communication.
The telephone is all right for CONVEX
sation, but neither the farmer nor
the manufacturer can haul his goods
to market over the telephone wire,"
said Guy Webb of the Arcade Cycle
exchange, yesterday.
''Better pavements in the cities
and better roads in the country are
demanded today by tens of thousands
of people where only a few hundreds
were interested in the good roads
movement begun a generation ago.
1t is sign of growing civilization.
Everyone realized that the bad
roads were costing America an enor-
nous sum because of the increased
cost of hauling goods to market.
But it was not until motorcycles and
automobiles came into general use in
the city and in the country that bad
pavementS and bad roads were
brought into such bad repute as to
cause national agitation for better
highways.
astonishing results from road
building can be looked for in the
near future. Good roads bring the
country nearer the city and the city
nearer the country. Prosperity and
good roads are found together, good
roads being an important factor in
reducing the cost Of living.''

Potato Market Dull.

During the past week farmers have
been taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity presented to get their pota-
toes out of the ground, and con-
sequent]y the quantity marketed
has been small. Then, again, the
prevailing prices have proved of no
inducement to the growers to rush
their stock to the warehouses. For
the past few days prices have been
lowering around the 25-cent mark.
Shipments from this point have
been light since the last issue of the
Union for the reason that foreign
markets have been dull and Inactive.
With the advancement of the sea-
son, however, greater activity is ex-
pected.

position it will take towards julius
A. Schmahl, the republican nominee
for secretary of state, now that the
third party committee has proposed
an opponent to him. There were
three republican candidates seeking
this nomination at the primaries
and fair and honorable campaign
was carried on by them and their
friends. The writer was one of the
candidates. He voted for the state
wide primary bill in the exrta session
of the legislature and has always
been believer in the principle un-
DERIVING such law. The candi-
dates in question had an opportunity
to present their case to the voters,

republican party, and as such the
Region cheerfully supports him and
advocates his election. -Roseau

all STARS D0WNED
High School Team Wallops the Com
bination of All Stars to the
Tune of II to 7.
Next Saturday Team Goes to rlilaca
to Show the Bunch at That
Place q Trick or Two.

The high school football team
pulled of, their first game of the sea-
son when they took on the all-star
combination at the fair grounds last
Saturday. To be sure, it was only a
practice game and the play was oft
times stopped while the high school
coaches delivered short TRADES to the
regulars when some blunder was
made by the first team men. How
ever, the, afternoons work brought
out some good football, and although
somewhat bruised and sore at the
end of the play, the regulars learned
considerable football of the practical
kind during the afternoons melee.
During the first half the teams bat
tied to a 0 to tie with the ball in
the possession of the first team most
of the time.
At the beginning of the second half
Bob Brown broke away for 6O-yard
run and touchdown. Umbehocker
converted this into goal. Score
high school, I: all-stars, 0. This
score was the signal for a big revival
on the part OF the all-stars, and in a
few minutes more they had the ball
within the shadow of the high school
goal posts, and from here Briggs CAR
ried the ball over on a forward pass
for a touchdown. Later this was
converted into goal. Score: 7 to
I. The game remained a tie until
the last few minutes of play when
Umbehocker took the ball from the
all-stars' 20-yard line on line buck
and, before he could be stopped, he
had plunged over the goal line, win
ming the game for the high school, ID
to I.
Although somewhat inexperienced,
the highs showed flashes of real foot
ball at times and, with a good solid
weeks practice, they should be in
good condition when they go up
against the Milaca team on the lat
ter's grounds next Saturday.. A
week from the coming Saturday the
locals will have a game on their
home grounds with some good high
school team, thus giving the home
folks a chance to see the local ath-
letes in action.
