ELLEN'S MOUNTAIN AND MOUNT
ETHAN ALLENl

AS some have inquired regarding
trails onto some of our mountains, we
use the columns of the Register to
answer such inquiries.
Mount Ethan Allen (Camels Hump
NAV be assembled from the west or the
northeast To reach the former trail,
one can 90 by train to Jonesville, thence
by stage to Huntington Centre and by
team to Forest City. At this point the
team is left and the ascent of the noun
tain begins. At Forest City there are
three farm houses and we suppose one
or more families living there. Mr..
Tart has farm near the beginning of
the trail and one can get started right
by inquiry from him. The trail is very
plain and the average pedestrian will
have no difficulty in reaching the sum-
nit.
To make the ascent from the north
east, one leaves the train at North
Duxbury, then take the road leading to
burgess saw mill. On this side there
are two trails, one leading up from
near Durgee's and the other from one
of the farms passed before reaching
the mill. By inquiry one can easily
find these trails. We believe that an
other trail has been blazed from some
point near the Winooski River. This
will give one at least two miles more of
climb than either of the others.
For the last two or three years a
tent has been kept near the summit for
the accommodation of the public. We
do not know whether meals are fur
nished or not Water may be had from
a spring little south of the tent The
latter part of the season that spring
usually dries up and one must get water
lower down some one of the trails.
Ellen's Mountain situated in Lincoln
and Warren may be assembled from the
west or east. To reach the trail from
the west, one drives to the foot of the
mountain directly east of Lincoln Centre
and leaves the team at the Rock farm
where Curtis Rock formerly lived.
Here is a good barn for horses; and by
inquiry one can easily find the trail. 1t
is two miles from the farm house up to
the log cabin near which there is water
and where climbers are generally ready
for lunch. In the latter part of the
season the brook near the cabin may be
dry and then one can get water at a
point three or four rods east of the
trail and some thirty rods south of the
cabin. There is a sign on a tree indi-
eating the location of the spring.
From the top of Ellen's Mountain one
can take trail leading northeasterly
and northerly some four miles to the
northern extremity of the mountain
which is some Is or 100 feet higher
than the southern summit, but the view
from the southern is more extensive.
If one attempts the northern trail, he
should hold well to the east on entering
the woods as another trail branches off
to the left leading to the foot of the

FRIDAY, AUGUST q, 1919.
SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.

As we understand second call for
village meeting has been issued. The
object is to see if the village will vote
to expend a further sum of money in
building highways in the village. AS
we are informed something over $4OOO
has already been expended in such work
this year. This same question was con-
sidered in the village meeting of July
&c and it was voted by quite a large
majority not to so bond the village.
Our village and school district indebt-
edness, we understand, to be over $751;
600. In addition to this we are holden
for about two-thirds of the indebtedness
of the town which is between $1O,OoO
and $1,000 We shall also have to pay
two-thirds of 121a per cent. of the total
cost of the Underpass, now being
built near the depot, including moving
all buildings, laying new tracks, grad
ing. etc. 1t will be evident to all that
the debt of the village is quite a large
one and will require very special econ
omy to meet. and we believe this will be
the general opinion of our taxpayers;
and therefore the present is not the
time to increase debt for any purpose.
There is TO reason why the village with
the regular highway taxes, if they are
wisely expended, cannot in few years
have good roads on all out streets. Inc
town in this way, without mourning
Indebtedness, has constructed first class
country roads.
Every taxpayer should attend this
meeting.

MASSACHUSETTS RESPONDS.
1From Boston journal.

The Sunday Globe spoke of the Pro-
gressive convention held at Faneuil
Hall on Saturday as 'intelligent, order
ly and enthusiastic, which is true.
Yet it was a good deal more than that,
for it was the first demonstration of its
kind since war times of the vital, all
important, patriotic spirit coming from
men and women single-minded in their
desire for popular government and
eager to have not only Massachusetts,
but the whole country, delivered from
bondage.
1t was intelligent, orderly, enthusiast
tic and patriotic.
1t was the first Massachusetts rally
of the plain people, driven to revolt
against the boss-ruled conventions at
Chicago and Baltimore.
1t was Massachusetts response to
the patriotic call sent out from Chicago
last month, when the delegates of the
plain people were deliberately and
tyrann:cally unseated by the clique of
bosses determined that Taft should be
nominated at all hazards. 1t was also,
in spirit if not in the written word, the
logical sequel TO the impossible con-
glomeration of radicalism and bossism
witnessed at Baltimore, where the

a Pleased Savings Bank
Demo sitor

There is no county in Vermont. indeed,
hardly town IN the state or state in
the Union, that does not make deposits
in the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
The unprecedented growth of that in
stitution is the result of tNo things first,
confidence: second, satisfaction with it's
management.
Everybody is well treated at that bank
and everybody is satisfied.
Ask your neighbor who deposits there
and see if he does not vouch for the
truthfuness of this statement.

mountain at point about mile north
of the Rock place. When one has pro-
ceeded easterly 40 or so rods he must
hold to the left where the trail divides,
as the right hand trail leads down into
Warren.
If one takes the trip to the north, he
can get good view of Fayston's land
slide which began near the ridge of the
mountain and went down the east side.
Also 20 or 80 rods south of this can be
seen a growth of white birches which
marks landslide that took place 60 or
20 years ago. The Fayston slide is
seen from some exposed rocks or ledge
over which the trail leads one. The
trip should be made after rain or a
north wind to clear the air of smoke.
One should be careful not to hurry up
the mountain as the wind generally
blows hard at the top and it is quite
cold.
From Mount Ethan Allen one sees
Mansfield at the north, Ellen's Noun
tain and Bread Loaf at the south.
From Elen's Mountain one sees Mt.
Ethan Allen and Mansfield at the north
and Bread Loaf at the south. From
both view points on a clear day can be
seen the White Mountains at the east,
also the Adirondacks and Lake Cham
plain at the west. We doubt if any
finer views can be had anywhere in the
United States than from these noun
tains.

The following brief article we clip
from editorial page of July 20, of the
Baltimore Sun, one of the ablest,
largest, and largest circulated papers
of the country. A democratic paper in
democratic constituency, fair enough
and wise enough to speak the honest
truth in all discussions.
Mr.. Roosevelt, against whom so
many infamous falsehoods have been,
and are being uttered by some of the
largest Eastern Journals such as the
New York Sun, and others of that ilk,
is one of the ablest men of the world
on all questions that connect with gov
eminent, as he abundantly proved in
the about seven years that he acted as
President and in addition, as we be-
lieve, an exceptionally honest and up
right man. A man, too, that both this
country and the whole world are large
ly indebted to, as illustrated by the
Panama Canal, so far as we know the
greatest work of improvement ever
achieved upon this planet, illustrat-
ing the wonderful fitness of Mr.. Roose-
welt to direct the affairs of nation, or
the world
We hope that the great majority OF
Vermonters will not be mislead in this
matter but deposit their votes at the
proper time for the man who has
always worked, and with much success,
for the good of the whole people.

Catholicism Dominates
In South America.

Representa- iVes Of the missionaries
now sent to South American countries
have strongly urged the church to in
crease its missionary work in this field
and it was expected that in the discus
sion today they would reiterate and en-
large the statements previously made
by William F Rice of Chicago that
conditions in these countries are such
that missions are strongly needed He
asserted that the Catholic church domi-
mates the countries and permits immor-
ality and teaches superstition.
Although the attacks on the Roman
church have been applauded as they
we're uttered it is known that there are
many delegates here who do not favor
the missionary extension scheme and
who disfavor bitter sectarian attack
on the Catholics and it was expected
that the discussion would bring out
many differences Of feeling.
