gion in Eastern America.
Tourists long ago discovered Green Mountains Sum
visitors for decades had found rest and recuperaon amid
the nvigorag and soothing breezes of lovely Lake Champan
Travellers for cycles had visited Burlington and remained
enjoy the beautiful city by the lake IN the Swzerand OF
America Yet all three Vermont Lake Champan and Bur
lngton, lacked systematic and widespread publicity.
Ambassador Bryce, who stood beside President Taft and
Gov Hughes when he spoke the noble sentiment quoted and
who like the lamnted Mckinley and Roosevelt visited this
gon in official capacity helped to fix the attention of the Am
ercan people whole upon the Green Mountain region 1t
precisely what needed It stimulates general interest in
Vermont and helped us to appreciate what we have in our
session.
Tourists and residents and travellers and former
vemoners and those who good enough to be vemonters
past present beginning though they
to the Green Mountain region.
Secretary of State Guy w Bailey who through newly
established Vermont publicity department doing such grand
feel the impulse impaired to the travelling public result of
the Judicious advertising the Green Mountain region is
ceving
Secretary Bailey has just received from Mr. John H. Field
of Buffalo, N Y letter which is well calculated
cookies of the hearts of those who have long been trying
direct attention to Vermons attractions The body of the let
ter reads as follows:
"As ex-vermonter am trying persuade New York
Central railroad to put during the through
sleeping from Buffalo Cleveland that will Burng
ton without change via Albany and Troy Rutland rail
road This would take in great many of the in
Vermont and would be great convenience people
West who find the journey Vermont with present train
vice both arduous and disagreeable.
1t to that if there better connection
the West people from this section of the country
come to Vermont for the summer.
Mr. Field who is taking up the with General Agent
H. Parry OF the New York Central passenger traffic depart
ment Buffalo emphasizes the point that

ing passenger traffic well adding the comfort

numerous other projects he has instituted for purpose help
ing TO develop the tourist interest Vermont he reev
ing the cooperation the Burlington Commercial club that has
united with the Rutland and the New Central in the develop
ing of improved passenger service in Grand Isle county beau

The service the New York Central Secretary
State Bailey asked to help secure would admirably npe
men the parlor Manager Jones the
Central Vermont helped establish for
tween Burlington and the White Mountains with the
ton of the New Haven management
Commercial travellers have directed attention diff
Guilty of making good connections between points in central New
York and Burlington via Albany and Troy the
rmedyng of this lack together with the possible provision of
better sleeping accommodations will increased traffic for
the railroads we'll for Vermont
In this connection wish to speak especially of the way
which the transportation lines have cooperaed with the people
of Burlington well with Secretary State Bailey s DEPART
men IN meeting the advancing requirements of the
ing public, and in booming Vermont
We notice with especial qualification the fact that in the
