Chairman Babbitt read the letter
from Governor Gates to the Brattleboro
board of trade, recently published III
The Remormer, in which he thanked the
board for his two days trip and told
of his continued interest in the good
roads movement. He then introduced
w. II. Nichols, president of the Ben
nington board of trade.
Attractive Stretch of Country.
Mr.. Nichols said that the board Of
trade works for the interest of the
people and that he lately had taken
a great interest in road building be
cause he had discovered that it was
Job that led to higher hOnors. He
pointed out that distance in these days

many miles, but in terms of time.
cts an hour and a half to such
place-not 80 miles
He said that Bennington was on the
route of the ideal tour and that in
the last two years two miles of i'm
proved highway had been built to the
New York state line and New York
had promised to build to the Vermont
line next year. He said that every
automobile that came into Vernon:
brought q new dollar, and that there
lies between Bennington and Brattle-
boro 40 miles of the most magnificent
scenery in the country and the road
must be improved in order to capitalize
this attractive stretch of country. It
| is still a wilderness. 1t took Moses 10
years to get out of the wilderness and
| so far as this stretch is concerned
/ Vermont has not vet gotten out of it
after 100 years. He wanted everybody
to boost the boards of trade and the
Greater Vermont association and then
things would happen.
Emory II. Harris. secretary of the
Bennington board of trade, said that
never before had he made q speech
when not less than two-thirds of his au-
ditors were against him. but in this
instance he believed he had everyone
with him. He told of being chairman
of the committee of the legislature in
1908 that secured the passage of the
law authorizing q state highway com
missioner, and sl1etched progress mp to
the present time. Bennington county
is doing good work, he said, but not
spending enough on road maintenance
He said in closing that if it had not
been for the heavy rain in Bennington
early in the morning, which continued
until after they had started, many moro
would have been present and he closed
with a rain story that brought hearty
laughter

New Thing Under the Sun.

Secretary Taylor of the Greater Yer
mont association was introduced after
the chairman had read the vermont
creed, ~ of which Mr.. Taylor is the
author.
Mr.. Taylor congratulated the boards
of trade on the better acquaintanc
trip, told of the organization of the
Greater Vermont association and the
start of the better acquaintance trips.
He pointed out that Vermont, sparsely
settled, is at a disadvantage in lacking
the massed enthusiasm of the larger
communities, but in these days of auto
mobiles it is possible to get a gathering
from different towns together in one
place to such a number that the hosts
are forced to leave the dining room to
make room for their guests, which was
the situation in this instance. In this
way it is possible to get the energy of
the mass.
This meeting centered about GER
tain proposition. It proves that there
is new thing under the sun. Those
interested the most in the proposed de-
velopment are ready for it and that
fact makes it a certainty. The true
genius of the Vermont scenery comes
from the cross roads, for they climb

Great Increase in Freight Traffic.

Freight traffic on the local Boston &
Maine branch has increased greatly the
past few weeks, with the result that the
trains are almost daily several hours late.
1t is thought that the train which oper-
ated between South Vernon and Keene
and which was discontinued several
months ago, will be put into service soon.

AMERICAN SOLDIER SHOT;
HEAD AND EARS CUT OFF
q. s. Army Officer Gets Sworn State
ment From Member of Mexi-
can Band.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. September 30
Capt. Frank R. Mccoy. commanding
United States troops about Mission,
Tex. has reported to the Southern De-
partment a synopsis of a sworn state
ment he secured from Guadalupe
Cuellar, who was said to be a member
of the band of Mexicans who attacked
the detachment of United States SOL
diers at Progreso Crossing, September
% and "a.
According to the statement. this band
of MeXicans. under command of Car
rama officers. overpowered one of the
American soldiers at the crossing, pre-
sumably Private Richard Johnson, and
he was carried prisoner to the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande.
He was then shot to death, the state
ment continues, and his head and ears
were cut off and carried away as SOU
venirs. The body was thrown into the
Rio Grande. according to Cuellar.
The horse and arms captured from
the detachment of American soldiers
were taken across the river and held
in the Quartet of the Carranza soldiers
a short distance from the scene of the
fight, according to the statement.
No report has been made to the
Southern Department of finding the
headless body which would tend to
confirm the statement of Cuellar.

EARL KITCHENER FAVORS
VOLUNTEER RECRUITING

LONDON. September 3O.-Preference
for continuation of the volunteer sys-
tenn is said to have been expressed by
Earl Kitchener at a meeting of labor
executives yesterday, which was ad-
dressed by the war secretary. He said,
however, that the present rate OF re-,
cruiting was not equal to the needs.
Earl Kitchener explained that his
own plan, which had not yet been au-
thorized by the government. was to
apply the system of the military bal
lot. Every district would be required
to furnish it's quota of men. In case
this quota could not be obtained by
voluntary enlistment the required
number would be selected by ballot
among the men of military age. and
the enlistment of those thus chosen
would be compulsory. The secretary
added that there had been no slacken-
ing of the pressure to bring out re-
cruitS.

the latter did not heed the warning the
general after a few moments returned

to insist that you descend from this

President Mounts Fort Parapet.
"As they were mounting the parapet
the President said: is there any rea-
son why we should not go there, too?'
To which 1 replied that it was for him
to- decide. Then let us CO. said he.
We left the carriage. A lieutenant of
Gen. Wright's staff accompanied Mrs.

dent. We assembled some wooden steps,
President and the rest of the small
party took stand rather toward the
southern end of the parapet, perhaps
about a third of the distance from the
steps to the southern angle of the
fort. Gen. Wright was stationed at the
southeast angle, attended by his staff
and some signal men.
Hardly had the President taken his
stand on the earthworks where he
could look out upon the field of action
where the Confederates were stationed,
when a fine brigade of veterans, the

manded by as brave a man as ever led
a brigade into battle, dear, noble Gen.
Bidwell. marched past the fort and out
to the front. AS these troops passed
in front of the fort Mrs. Lincoln and
another lady who had come up from
Washington with their escorts left the
fort. The brigade marched rapidly out
to the open, deployed and were quickly
in line of battle. At signal sent from
the front that all was ready the guns
of the fort opened fire, and the veteran
brigade dashed forward. Bullets whiz-
zed past the President. and an assistant
surgeon standing near his excellency
was wounded.

II have already mentioned that when
the President and Mrs. Lincoln arrived
in the vicinity of the fort they were
unattended. except by their coachman
