iMorrisville-Troy Road.

Interest in the -talked-abo
railroad between Morrisvil1e and North
Troy and the possibilities in railroad
connections and development of natu-
raj resources, which such an event
would foretell have been revived the
past few days. This is the result of
renewed talk of a road to be surveyed
at once from the Lowell asbestos mines
to connect with the St. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain branch, either at
johnson or Morrisville.
gW. G.. Gallagher of Philadelphia.
president of the Chrysotile Asbestos
corporation, which owns large mine
and plant located near the Eden line
in the town of Lowell, arrived in town
Monday, having accompanied Baltl-
more, Md, and Pittsburg, Pa, capi.
talists to the mines and also over the
whole proposed route from North Troy
to Stowe When seen by newspaper
representative Mr.. Gallagher confirmed
the report that surveys will be made
the first of June for steam railroad
from the mines to either Johnson or
Morrisville. He said that the matter
of financing the construction had been
arranged and the route to be chosen
would be determined later. Johnson
has the advantage over Morrisville as
regards distance, being only fourteen
miles from the plant, while the dis
tance to Morrisville is about four miles
greater On the other hand, the possi-
bilities of extending the road later and
making the road to the mines part of
the connecting link. would seem to ia
vor Morrisville. The plant at the COM
pany's mine has been quite extensively
operated since 1907, until the past
year, when it has oeen closed. The
product has, previous to this time. been
hauled by team to Johnson. President
Gallagher says the plant will be re-
opened in June and that the company
has an order for 5000 tons of. the
product for 1915 delivery, from manu-
featuring firms in Germany and Aus
tria. The present capacity of the plant
is only ten tons per day, but this will
be increased to 100 tons, which amount
the company claims it can contract for
a term of years. A plant of this ca
pacity would employ about $50 men.

Several times there has seemed to
be an opportunity for the villages of
Orleans and Barton to consolidate and
run an excellent baseball team, using
wholly local talent. Again this season
it has been quite freely spoken of, not
a professional team, but one made up
from the local boys of each village.

The play, "Indana Folks,' booked
at the opera house for Friday night,
didn't materialize. There was very
little advance advertising done and the
attendance was SO small, that the
company decided to return the ticket
money. We can't see all the shows
offered, and our home talent seems to
be very deserving of late.
At the meeting of the Boy Scouts
Friday night at the club house. there
was a good attendance. Our boys
voted to ask the Scouts at Glover to
come up for their next meeting. which
will be Friday night. No question
about this Boy Scout movement being
a good thing, not alone for our boys
but the entire community.

Mrs. Cora Jewell and son, Alvin, left
Friday night for Atlanta, Ca, where

B. A. Badly Beaten at Newport.

Barton Academy ball team were on
the wrong end of IA to score with
Newport high school team Wednesday
Of last week. We deem it fortunate
that the interstate commerce commits
sion was not present at the game, as
most assuredly our pitchers would be
brought before that body for issuing
passes. Jewell lasted one and two
thirds innings with nothing on the ball,
Paige three and third innings while
Newport made nine safe ones, and
Johnson finally wound up the game
with only one hit and a pass chalked
against him. Errors however at criti-
cal times took much of the snap out of
our box artists and we are aware that
any and all of them have played. and
can play, better ball. 1t is never best
to be a good loser, hut it always pays
to be cheerful losers. The score by in
nings follows:

Academy Loses in Hard-fought Game.

B. A. lost its ball game with Derby
academy Saturday afternoon on the
local grounds by score of to 9.
Five errors which practically netted
Derby five runs in the first inning, put
our boys in bad hole. but to their
credit, they made it very interesting up
to the last man out. In the ninth with
the score to 9, and needing only two
runs to tie the game, we were able to
push only one over, and the game end
