II am not an opponent OF the rail

our railroads have been the greatest
civilizcrs tho world has known. But
the shippers and consumers arc on
titled 10 the use OF the waterways. and
such competition is the proper way to
regulate our roads.
The chief advantage of water
transportation IS its great cheapness
compared to rail- Senator Ransdcll
said. AS an example. 100000 tons
OF freight passed through the Sault
Ste Marie las; year. nj an average
cost of ,6S of mill. compared with
q rail rate OF IS of cent. This same
relative difference exists on all well
improved Waterways"
To make competition between water
and rail transportation lines possible.
Senator Ransdcll said. the Southern
steamboat man must dispense with
the oid-fashioned negro stevedore and
install mechanical devices such as are
used on the Great Lakes.
II believe every waterway IN this
: country should be developed 10 the
greatest possible extent. provided II
can be done at n reasonable cost" he
asserted. They should be given over

railroads are. II is useless economy to

such development"

The second query suggested 70
wit: "How can the phenomenal
growth of the Hyde Park Bank
as shown by the above statement,
be accounted for?" is really very
simple matter. Here is the explana
ton:
Savings Bank depositors in the ag-
gregate are very shrewd and as a
class are an extremely critical body
of men. They insist that the safest
having reached a conclusion in their
own minds as to which is the safest,
they place their money there.
CONFIDENCE is plant of slow
growth. For the first five years Of
it's existence the Hyde Park Savings
Bank grew less than 100000 but dur
ing the last five years it grew con-
siderably more than million dollars,
as the above table shows.
The managers of the Hyde Park
Bank quite naturally take great pride
in the position which the bank &C.
cupies among the banks of the world
and it feels quite justified in solicit
ing deposits of those Vermonters
who would like to perpetuate this
unique distinction now enjoyed by
Vermont.
Banking by mail is now regarded
as absolutely safe and depositors
anywhere can send money to this
bank either by personal or bank
check postal or express money order,
registered letter or express without
the slightest fear of loss; indeed in
the tWenty-six years of it's existence,
not a dollar ever sent to this bank
has ever been lost.
The Hyde Park Bank pays four
per cent and compounds seminar
nualy and it pays all taxes.
Any information desired by those
contemplating making deposit in
this bank will be cheerfully furnish
ed by addressing the President, Car
roll S. Page or the Treasurer, F. M.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Old Building on Town Hill Has a
Long Record of Public Interest


Some days ago an item appeared
in the Evening Banner stating that
the old building that for long per-
iod of time had stood west of the
Patchen-Shaw house in Old Benning
ton had been moved to the grounds
of George B. Wellington. The Ban
ner stated that once Former Lieut..
Gov. A. b. Gardner occupied the
building as a law office and that later
it was used for merchandise purposes
There are some living who have for
gotten that this building 60 years
ago was utilized as the cabinet
warerooms of the late S. S. Scott who
in after years did large furniture
business in the Adams Block in this
village.
In the early days the building fac
lu9WnuoW p9UBo Mou la9Ils eql pc
Avenue and here were made many of
the collins Of those who have long
slept in the historic but modest Gods
Acre in Old Bennington. The old
structure was moved in comparative
ly short time without any inconven-
fence to the travelling public.
The writer recalls that when this
building was used as law office that
on a certain exciting occasion a
board of directors were elected Of
what was to be called the Burden
Railroad, this road was to be an indie
pendent branch from Hoosick juno
ton to Bennington by way of the Bur
den ore beds but so strenuous was
the opposition by those in control of
the Western Vermont Railroad that
the project was defeated in the legis-
lature
