POWER DEVELOPMENT
Remarkable Work Accomplished and
Being Done in Windham County.

In the vermonter just issued Char
les X. Cummings writes interesting
ly in regard to power in Windham
county. He says:
The first great power development
in Vermont of recent years occurred
at Vernon, six miles below Brattle-
boro, when the Connecticut River
was successfully damned. The COM
pany is turning out daily the equiva-
lent of $4,000 horse power. Brattle-
boro is growing much more rapidly
than ever before in its history. New
manufacturing industries are coming
in with the consequential large in
crease in population.
THE same financial interests, but
operating under a different corporate
name commenced about 1908 an ill.,
vestigation of the Deerfield river,
purchased substantially all the water
rights on both sides of the stream
from Shelbourne Falls, Mass, TO Som
erset a distance of over 40 miles.
Construction was commenced in 1911
on five plants in Massachusetts and
one in Vermont. Four more will be
built in Vermont in completing the
development of The Deerfield river
1.-THE population of Somerset when
this work was begun was about 20
people No farm WAS despoiled. II
is a good fishing ard hunting region.
The Somerset plant will develop h.
600 horse power. Other plants Will
be built in Whining on, Nottingham
and Readsboro. The expenditure in
Somerset alone viii cxceei S2.0nu,oo0.
THE same financial interests own
the water rights OF the Connecticut
River at Fifteen Mile Falls and steps
are being taken toward the develop
ment of that power which will be at
least 10000 horse power. Lines will
be run to Littleton, n. H., and other
towns in the White Mountain as
trict, to ST Johnsbury, Hardwick.
Earre ana Montpelier in Vcrm At
and then through Orange and Wgd-
sor counties connecting with the
main system at Bratt 'eboro.
1T is the plan to undertake indus
trial development all along the trans
mission line. These developments
are already bringing in very rapid
growth TO the communities where
the transmission lines touch. Water
power is the largest natural resource
of Vermont and properly developed
and distributed will revolutiolize the
industrial activities of this State"
Mr.. Cummings goes into detail re-
garding the construction of the Som
erset plant. Water will not flow
over this dam. II cannot get nearer
than ten feet from the top OF il near
which point it will be 100 feet deep
A spillway. geo feet wide and ten
feet below the top of the dam is con-
structed in solid rock in another val
ley, away around the promontory
which is considered ample to care for
any overflow on this 2.400. 100000 Gu

not built wide enough to carry the

Judge Budgets Northern Trip.

In speaking of his trip throughout the
North, Judge Bulge is most enthusiasts
tic over the reception and cordial treat
ment he received on every hand, and
he was assured of the warmest support
in his candidacy for the supreme bench,
says the Pocatello Tribune. The papers
of the north verify this statement and it
appears that the Judge will have virtu-
ally smooth sailing in landing the nomi-
nation.
II could uot have heard more crafty
ing expressions anywhere" said the
Judge, land while there are other can
dictates in the field, and under those
circumstances the average individual is
prone to be little reticent in express
ing or committing himself, it was some
what of a pleasant surprise to me to find
the great number of warm supporters
have in the north, and these express
ions come not only from men affiliated
with politices in one way or another.
but from all sides of the fence The
situation is amply satisfactory, can
assure You"

A Disgusting Affair.

Editor Examiner. - 1t seems to liz
that every American citizen who has
particle of national pride cannot help
but regret the unseemly spectacle of
our two most eminent citizens engage
ing in a quarrel, for such it is, over the
highest Office within the gift of the
people.
If one half of that be true, which
each charges the other with, both
should be locked mp as enemies to the
people and the peoples welfare. With
a president and an ex-president calling
each other liars" "betrayers, ser
wants of the corporations" ETC., an ur-
gent need of a house cleaning becomes
daily more apparent. However, if this
fight should keep up much longer we
might learn the truth about lot of
things we didn't know
When all is said and done, we are
being held up to the ridicule and scorn
of Europe by this performance, which
will probably result in the permanent
retirement to private life of both the
prineipel actors in this affair. Why,
our political enemies have not even
charged President Taft or Mr.. Roose-
welt with such things as these two men
are now making against each other.
Surely the American people will be
deserving of pity if we are to have such
Intelligent" men at the head of our gov
eminent very long. CITIZEN.
