NEW STATE FOREST
Tract Of 300 Acres Has Been Bought
in Town of Mendon

Rutland, July 1.-State Forester A.
F. Halves of Burlington, acting for
the state of Vermont, has bought OF
E. R. Morse of this city a tract of
about 800 acres of land on Bald noun
tain in the town of Mendon to be
used as a state forestry preserve.
The tract is located on the north
side of the mountain and extends
from the Notch" road to the Oak
peak 1t is largely covered with
small hardwood timber but there is
a small stand of spruce near the top
of the mountain. The territory has
been numbered but it has been done
unscientifically, and fire few years
ago did great damage to the timber.
Mr.. Halves said today that some
cutting will be done on the mountain
next winter with a view to making a
model forest as lesson to people
living in this part of the state. A
large number of pine, both the native
white and probably some other var
ieties, and young spruce trees will be
planted along scientific lines.
This is Vermont's third forestry
preserve. Some years ago a tract
was bought at Plainfield and $50 &C
res in Windham were recently pur-
chased

State Convention Notes From the
erattleboro Reformer

Immediately after the nomination
of Fletcher had been announced,
printed copies Of a pronunciamento
from NJ. ]. Hapgood were spread
about the convention hall. The bur
den of his TRADE was that this action
showed that the delegates favored
the old time methods of naming a
chief executive.
Frank Howe's nomination was par
ticularly pleasing to his newspaper
friends and associates. His hardest
fight was at home, and the tactics
used against him were anything but
gentlemanly. That he won in spite
of the opposition of the old Benning-
ton county ring speaks well for the
good judgment of the Republican par
ty of the state.
The resolutions committee had a
big scrap before they finally decided
to insert a plank relative TO direct
nominations. The lawyers on the
committee we're against the idea, OF
course, especially the corporation
lawyers. Those who fought hardest
for a popular plan we're L. B. John

fact.

County is totally without system in
its process of road repair and build
ing and that there is largely lacking
spirit of cooperation.
The meeting Friday evening is
ed in the future development of
Bennington county and to arouse a
spirit of cooperation which has thus
far been lacking in the work in this
county. 1t is desired that harmony
and concerted action should be
brought about between the county
and State officials and the govern
ment engineer. Mr.. Winslow will go
to Manchester this week to open an
office and take up his work there.
The following invitation has been
sent out to the members of the local
board of trade and others:

LAW-BREAKER CAPTURED
Young Man Fined in Municipal Court
After Peculiar Experience

Leo Milton, a young man, was yes
terday fined $27 by Judge Holden in
the Bennington court for having in
his possession short trout
Saturday afternoon a party of Yer
mont game wardens went to Hart
MELVILLE by automobile and from
there they spread out in all direc-
tons in search of violators of the
fish and game laws.
Milton was one of a party which
started out from Camp Casino early
in the morning and when they were
returning they were held up near the
camp by a man who looked into Mil
tons basket and then placed him I'M
der arrest. One of the owners of
the camp was in the party and took
the game warden down and sat on
him while Milton made his escape.
When the game warden was allowed
to get up, Milton was over the hills
and far away. The game warden
was told, however, that the young
man would be in court on the follow
ing day and with this he. had to be
satisfied for the time.
Yesterday morning just as the sun
was peeping over the eastern hillsy
the camp was surrounded by about
a dozen Vermont wardens who we're
out for business.
They entered the. camp and tried to
place everyone there under arrest
The owner OF the camp awoke Just
as a little sawed off warden was try
ing to place pair of handouts about
his wrists.
Where's your warrant" roared
the owner You get out OF here or
I'll strew you all over the place" The
game warden got.
In the meantime. Milton scooted
out OF a rear second story window
and ran for the bush. Being familiar
with the territory and not caring to
dodge any more bullets which were
flying around promiscuous. he allow
ed himself to be captured.
The camp owner also ducked out
OF the second story window ana beat
II around the pond to the opposite
side where he ensconced himself on
log and watched the proceedings.
With Milton in custody. the game
wardens went to Bennington BY way
OF Woodford. A telephone message
TO this city to local friends Of the
young man brought speedy assistance
and influence was brought to bear
which secured for him a trial yester-
day afternoon. The fine was impos-
ed and the young man was allowed
TO go.-North Adams Herald
