LEONARD Is
STILL HOPEFUL

IL has been an open secret the past
two or three months that matters
nertaining to the financing of the
Butte, Boise & San Francisco rail-
way we're rapidly being brought to a
point where a public annou ncement
of the general plans of the company
could be made.
The latter part of July, L. o.
Leonard, of this city, who has charge
of the western part OF this business
left for the east to close a contract
with some capitalists who we're to
finance the preliminaries. Mr.. Lem.

decided to return to Boise and await
developments. You can imagine my
surprise at receiving "A letter from
our man in London, the next day
after my return. dated London, Aug.
7, after the war had been ON seven
days. In this letter he said: i have
talked with the members of the pro-
posed syndicate and they can see no
reason, at present, why, in two OF
three months we should not be able
TO start on your business. -Four days
later another letter came saying that
they expected to be ready for me in
October. Now, this is most encour-
aging news. 1t is from gentlemen
who are all prominent in the hnan.
cial world and their opinion and judg-
ment carries weight in America.
From our other eastern friends we
learn that it is the judgment of the
inner financial circles in this coun.
try, that imu ediately proper fore
cast can be made Of the outcome OF
the present war there will be an un-
limited amount of foreign capital
seeking investment, particularly in
this western field. The conditions

without a leader in their Out-of-door
activities. and each having two sons,
decided that there ought to be some i
scheme devised to interest the boys in
out-of-door activities. under some kind
of leadership and in way that would |
insure enjoyment and the requirement
of useful information by the boys. Mr..
Windsor who is an authority on the
early history of the town and the north
part of Windsor County and part OF
Orange county. and who is graduate
of Dartmouth College. in the Engineer
ing Department and who knows all the
town lines in his locality, hit upon a
plan that was was adopted and carried
out until the time that heavy SHOWS
necessitated a suspension of the work
! until next spring Beginning one Sun
day afternoon he and Mr.. Batchelder
took party of boys for tramp, going
to point on the town line, and travers-
ing that line. over hills and across
streams as far as they could go with
| out undue fatigue. Mrs. Wilson and
| Mrs. Batchelder took a horse and car
riage and a quantity of eutahles and
drove to point on the town line de-
! signated in advance by their husbands.
On arrival of the two men and the boy
trampers at that point at five o'clock,
or whereabouts, the lunch was promptly
! despatched and the tramping party
took homeWard course, such small
| boys as were fOOtsOre or tired being
taken into the team by the ladies.
! This was done on each pleasant Sun
day until late fall. The tramp took
the party nearly to the intersection of
the town lines of Bethel, Royalt0n.
Tunbridge and Randolph. AS soon as
the weather is suitable this spring it is
I -YoI fn Of Il "a s,,,I
traverse the line between Bethel and
Randolph, and so on until the boys
have made a complete circumambula-
ton of the town on the town line.
In the course Of these tramps discus
sion IS had about local history, tradi-
tons OF the neighborhood, the BIRTH
places Of persons of note, old land
marks. the boys are told how to dis
tinguish the different kinds of trees,
some plants, tracks Of animals. some
birds are noticed. and the tramps are
!, full of interest both to the boys and
the men This plan started in a small
way, but it may be that after it has
been carried out few Sunday after
moons larger numbers will wish to take
+ part.
= The two men who have carried out
: this plan so far find their efforts well
worth while, for not only do they fine
that the boys enjoy it and acquire {
, great deal of valuable information anc
experience. but the tramp and the con
tact with the woods. fields and streams
is of vast benefit to professional mer
and sends them back to work on Mon
day with freshness and sense OF
physical we'll being that in itself amply
, repays the work of arranging these

Two years ago the Monitor stated
editorially that maple sugar was bound
to bring a better price and predicted
that 20 cents, 25 cents and even more
would be nothing exorbitant for a
choice product in the near future. and
that syrup would be $3.50 per gallon
Or more. We were laughed at and
told the Monitor was dreamer. So it
always is with pessimists. But little
did the Monitor realize that the above
prices would so soon be realized bv
the manufacturer of first-class maple
products. We have before US a price
list Of a gentleman in this county
whose prices are 20 cents per pound in
ten pound pals and range up to 80
cents in confecti0n boxes. Syrup is
SLIGO per gallon and in pint bottles is
80 cents. Not only are these prices
asked but the gentleman is selling
quantities of maple products at these
prices and is shipping it all over the
eastern states. Of course the product
is Of good grade and is standardized sc
far as possible. The Monitor believes
there is a good profit to the Vermont
farmer from his sugar orchard and that
a very little extra time and trouble il
making a choice article will give large
returns. A little publicity and modern
marketing methods and Vermont will
realize what it should from one of the
very choicest and purest and mos
harmless products Of the ''sweet tooth
found on the American market.
