TROLLEY TO STAFFORD.
With Branch to Chepatehet, R. I.- Plan of New Company to be DeveI- oped at Once.

George L. Baldwin, station agent in Putnam, has formulated a plan and taken steps for the incorporation of company to construct a passenger and freight carrying railroad from Putnam to Stafford Springs, the proposed route being to South Woodstock, thence past Roseland Park to East Woodstock, North Woodstock, West Woodstock to Eastford passing near Woodstock Valley, thence past Crystal Lake to North Ashford. through Bos- ton Hollow to Westford, Stafford. Staff frdviIie, Stafford Hollow to Stafford Springs, a total of about 31 miles. AL so a branch from Putnam easterly through East Putnam to Chepatchet, R. l., there to conect with the trolley line to Providence, a distance of 12 miles.
 Through Fine Territory.
 The proposed system extends through a rich undeveloped country, and one which would in short time double in value with means provided for the transportation of passengers and freight The road would be an i'm portant feeder for the New Haven system as there are large quantities of lumber throughout this section awaiting transportation facilities, as well as large productive farms, water power sites. beautiful sites for hotels, fine camping grounds about the vari- ous lakes and hills and many other un- developed advantages, In addition, for the people now dwelling in this sec ton, and isolated from railroads it would mean quick and cheap trans portation from farm to railroad and city market for milk. produce, lumber, the mail and parcel post, and from city market t0 farm of fertilizers, grain machinery. etc. It will also be a great convenience to the many small mills along the streams for the receipt of raw material, coal and supplies and the transportation of the manufactured product to market.
 Terminal in Putnam.
 The company will seek trackage Putnam. thereby gaining terminal express. and making it possible to take pany and set them off on convenient sidings along the route of the new road and return them eithers empty or load ed
