BOSTON & MAINE NEW LINE.
Extension of c. & P. Division From Hins-
dale to Brattleboro in Use.

Brattleboro, June 26.-The Boston &
Maine railroad has placed in use its new.
| ly constructed extension on the east
bank Of the Connecticut river running
| from Hinsdale, n. H., to Brattleboro, a
I distance of eleven miles. Work on this
extension of the Connecticut & Passump-
| sic division was started in April, 1912
| AT present the westerly track has been
| fully completed and viii be placed in
service, while the grading and filling
for the easterlv track is completed and
the work of laying the rails win soon
be started.
This new line leaves the present line
running from South Vernon, Vt, to
Keene, n. H., about two miles north of
South Vernon in the town of Hinsdale
on the New Hampshire side of the Con
hectic river. then runs for about eight
miles to a point about one mile south
of Brattleboro, then across the newly
constructed Connecticut river bridge to
Brattleboro. This bridge is 900 feet
long, consisting of two 250-feet truss
spans and five S0-foot girder spans.
There are six piers located in the river.
There were over 1000 tons of steel used
in its construction. The Ashuelot river
structure is 800 feet long, containing
three girder spans.
Automatic block signals have been in
stalled for this entire line. In the town
of Hinsdale new station has been erect
ed which is to be known as Fort Hill.
IL is situated near the old location OF
the River Tavern and Ferry crossing of
the Connecticut river. From the north
erly end of the Connecticut river bridge
fill along the west side brings this
road nearly up to the station at Brattle.
boro over the tracks of the Central
Vermont railroad, but station improve
ments are now under way and il is ex-
pected that within year a new station
with two tracks for the Boston & Maine
service and two tracks for the Central
Vermont service will have been com
pleted
Completion of this line will eliminate
the use of the Central Vermont tracks
which heretofore have been used by the
Boston & Maine between South Vernon
and Brattleboro. Thus the Boston &
Maine by using this new road is able to
operate trains over its own rails from
Springfield. Mass. to Windsor. VT. and |
the new White Mountain trains will use |
the Central Vermont tracks only be- |
tween Windsor and White River june |
ton, distance of fourteen miles.

Hon. Thomas G.. Browne of Rutland
Democratic national committeeman for
Vermont, was in Washington last week
and when interviewed by reporter OF
the Washington Post relative to the tar
i'll situation in Vermont and New Eng
land. made the following statement:
Notwithstanding it has been pointed
out by prominent New England manu-
facturers and bankers that that section
of the country will be the hardest hit
by the reduction of tariff duties, | have
found that, in those New England states
| have visited, Republicans, as well as
Democrats, are satisfied with the tariff
bill which passed the House. | have
talked with a number of manufacturers
who are Republicans. One prominent
Republican, who held ene of the highest
offices in the state, told me that he APP
proved of the taking off of duties, and
declared that. in his judgment, the Re-
publican party ought to have done it
long ago. | do not believe that Democ
racy is going TO lose anything by a re-
vision of the tariff, and President VIII
son will get his due share of credit for
pushing through the tariff measure.
There is feeling all through New Eng
land that the president is making good,
and this feeling does not apply to Demo
Gratis only. Vermont did not go Demo
cratic in the national election, but it
made greater gain in the percentage
Of Democratic votes east than any other
states, so we have no apologies to offer.
The peculiar thing about Vermont Demo
Gratis is that they never get discouraged,
and if we keep plugging away we shall
carry the state"

Progress in Road Building

Alabama is making steady progress
fn good road building and this year
will probably mark new high record
in the improvement of the highways.
The Alabama Good Roads association
has done much to stimulate interest
and obtain practical results. It's in
fluence was materially felt in the
three good road days of last year
and in the good road days again this
year.
The extent of road making in Ala
bama on the three days appointed by
the governor-August IA, Is and 10
has not yet been officially ascertained
but the work is known to have been
highly satisfactory. In several coun-
ties the citizens worked overtime and
in at least one county they extended
the three days to 10 days. This is the
proper spirit.
Alabama will not have as much
high class road mileage as it should
have until the convicts are taken from
the mines and employed in road build
ing. But the enthusiasm for good
roads and the active interest that the
farmers are taking in the matter is
bringing wonderful results. Those
who have supported the Alabama
Good Roads association only half
heartedly in the past will now be dis
posed to put their shoulders to the
wheel and work for good roads with
al their might.

For the Land Congress-

THE Chamber of Commerce should now
take hold of the Land congress as it did
the merchants movement" said a we'll
known citizen yesterday. 1.-THE merchants
came for the benefit of the wholesale
trade of Birmingham, while the Land
congress can be made equally as valuable
to the retail trade of the city, although
the management of the congress has
stated that it was not for any locality in
its broadest benefits and that is really
the way Birmingham should look at It,.
The state needs more farmers, and 1t
needs educating those we have to stop
buying food products outside when they
can raise them here.
Birmingham Is a great consuming mar
ket, and the corporations OF the district
are deeply interested in getting these
products of the soil at first hands, and
if the corporations will join in wiz, the
land owners, business men and the rail-
roads in the move for more farmers they
will only be working for their own in
terests, as If think they will all see 1t
that way, so it looks like there could be
inaugurated very successful movement
here at the meeting of the Land con-
gress for more farmers to come into Ala
bama"

Vote for the Auditorium

Two weeks from tomorrow the
voters of Birmingham will have an op-
portunity of expressing themselves
through the ballot in favor of a 5
per cent bond issue not exceeding
100000 for the purpose Of providing
this city with greatly needed audi
torium. Every city needs something;
most cities need many things. Birming-
ham needs many things of public
character but nothing at this time is
quite so much needed as an audi
torium with a seating capacity of 5000
or 10000.
No city in the south is so we'll stu
ated for convention purposes as Bir-
mingham and no city in the south will
have more attractive or more extern
sive hotel accommodations within the
next few months than Birmingham.
The Chamber of Commerce has a
wideawake convention committee and
just as soon as ground is broken for
an auditorium that committee can be
depended upon to go after all the big
meetings scheduled to take place with
in the next two or three years.
A modern auditorium built and ap-
pointed on modern lines could be made
almost, if not quite, self-supporting
from the start; that is to say, the rev.
enue should be sufficient to meet a
$4,000 interest charge. But the prop
er way to look at this proposition is
from broad civic point of view. No
city of Birminghams size or preten-
tions is without large auditorium.
In number of cities the auditoriums
have cost more than 100000.
There should be practically a unani-
mouse vote in favor of a bond issue
for Birmingham auditorium.

Farmers Headquarters

The Age-Herald hopes that the
Farmers union will see fit to continue
its state headquarters in Birming-
ham. Montgomery. is eager that they
be removed to that city, and as an
inducement has offered offices rent
free. This exhibition of enterprise on
the part of Montgomery seems un-
usual, but it is unfortunate that it
should seek to build itself up at the
expense of sister city.
The president and secretary of the
Birmingham Chamber of Commerce
and other prominent business men
have gone before the executive COM
mittee of the Farmers union and set
forth the advantages of this city as
headquarters. This is the railroad CEN
ter of the state, and the logical point
for the maintenance of offices such as
those of the farmers.
AS the officers of the farmers them
selves say, the organization is not
compelled to seek free quarters. There
are other considerations of much more
Importance.

Reckless Shooting

II wouldn't have done this for a
million dollars" declared R. L. Willis,
. constable of Columbus, Ca, as he
gazed into the face of young Luther
Hawkins as the lad lay dying from a
wound inflicted by bullet from the
officers pistol.
Willis hasn't got million dollars.
If he had ten times ten million dollars
he could not undo what he did in a
moment of thoughtlessness. The story
of the Columbus tragedy is sad in
deed. 1t should serve as warning to
policemen, deputy sheriffs and con-
stables who are prone to fire their
"guns" whenever opportunity offers.
That it will have any effect on pre-
venting similar outrages in the future

A man always says he would rather have

AS to the Parthenon although the Hon.
Yakima Jones modestly denies that he is
much of classical scholar" he must
be aware that a Parthenon lis not for
married women. Besides, why lug in the
Greeks? Especially in view of the no.
torlously inferior position of respectable
women among them, or at least in Athens
of the Parthenon. Will the aspiring blood
of the Hon. Yakima Jones consent to re-
duce his proud If level 'Acropolis" to
Suffrage Square? Would he compro-
mise by swapping "Parthenon" for the
more resonant and Yakiman "Gyne-
copolis'"?

man named Jordan, in Columbus. When
settling day came, the brothers found
they lacked half dollar of having the
amount of their bill. Jordan sent for
an officer and Willis responded. Mrs.
Jordan, her sympathy aroused by the
plight of the boys, advised them to
escape. They ran off, and in the pur-
suit that followed Willis fired his
pistol, to scare Luther and bring him
to halt, so Willis claims. The bullet
entered the boys head at. the back,
and he was soon corpse.
Luther Hawkins is dead at the
hands of an officer of the law. His
crime was that he didn't have so
cents. 1t is enough to make humanity
grow sick at heart.

TrnrIc Ordinance Popular

"Few things that the city fathers have
done have met with such general ap-
proval as the adoption and enforcement
of the traffic ordinance for the inter-
sections of streets In the congested dis
trict," said citizen well known for his
upbuilding spirit.
1T may be that other cities have ordi-
nances similar to ours. But l doubt If
in any city the people were SO quickly
or so easily educated to the right way
of crossing so as not to create confusion.
A year or so ago when we had traffic
policemen, there was no specially defined
rules about crossing. The officer was ex-
pected to prevent accidents as far as
possible, and that was about all. Under
the workings of the present traffic ordi-
nance, there is little or no confusion and
the streets at crossing points have much
better appearance than ever before
