A GRANITE TOUR.
st. JOhnsbury Party Visited Yer
mOnt's Famous QuarTies.


The morning of September 10 Mr..
and Mrs. M. C. Garfield and son,
Stanley, together with Miss McMan-
mis- of Kirkdale, P. O., also Mrs.
Morris Smith of Glover motored to
Woodbury., passing through Danville,
Walden and Hardw;ck, then up the
mountain to the quarries. The little
Ford took six of us quickly to the
summit from which we had a grand
view of the vast business being done
there. The granite is a splendid
white or rather gray in color. This
work is all done by compressed air.
Immense blocks of granite are hoist
ed upon a trolley carriage then shot
through space and loaded upon
steam trucks to be taken away for
sale. The refuse is dropped into the
valley below where thousands of
tons have covered land and trees
until great piles of granite alone
seem like gilstening peaks raised by
some great hand of nature. One can
look along for range of six miles
and see where they have promise of
work for the great future. At the
summit which is nearly level, there
are houses which contain all modern
machinery for running this immense
business.
The property is owned and con-
Quoted by the Woodbury. Granite Co.
When in full force they employ about
800 men. Large boarding houses are
IN view, also small huts for the op-
eratives along the mountain side.
About $50 feet from the surface to
the bottom of this chasm where We
stood the tall trees look like small
bushes. On our way up we found
great ripe mulberries, also many
ripe raspberries, together with green
ones and many blossoms.
After taking a few snap shots we
coasted down the mountain, stopping
only for lunch. About 1870 we start
ed for Barre passing through Calais
and East Montpelier then through
the very pretty little city of Barre.
After short trip of sightseeing there
we motored on through GranitevilIe
TO the finest quarries of granite in the
world. Here we find the blue gran
tie which is very fine and seems SUI
perlor to that of the Woodbury. quar-
ries.
After leaving the car we only had
a walk of perhaps five or SIX rods
when we came to the edge of, a great
cIasm which is nearly circular in
shape and void of anything green.
One reels as he looks down this
cnasm that it is indeed the bottom
less pit. This great pocket is 500
ieet wide and probably $50 feet deem
IN the center. Great portable lad
qers are laid up the sides from RI
Dottom for the workmen's use. You
ian ian nardly believe that any living be-
ing could scale such dizzy heights.
mere are numerous pockets along
the mountains and one can see the
granite piled high in mid-air in
great pyramids as far as the eye can
acn. These quarries are controlled
oy the Boutwell, Granite company.
Leaving here we motored through
orange and Topsham over the Waits
river to Bradford and up the Con-
miles.

ACT ON ADVERTISING
Continued from page one.)

Of committee meetings, etc., may as
well be done in Hanover. The stu
dent will so plan that his time in st.
Johnsbury will be taken up with work
which he cannot do elsewhere, as for
instance, attending committee meet
ings, interviewing business men when
he should do 1t rather than delegate
1t to some member, making investi-
cations, etc. The students time at
Hanover is so arranged that he can
spend several hours any day ON this
work, and there would probably never
be more than a space Of two or three
days that he could not come To St
Johnsbury If necessary. Most of the
actual work and all of the deter
mination of policy and such will be
done by members, working usually as
committees. The idea OF an expert
secretary or business manager is that
there is need for someone who may
advise as to best policy and methods,
who will act as an accelerator for the
organization, who will see that the
work does not lag, who will attend to
certain clerical or technical details,
and who does very little actual field
work except when necessary to com
plete the work of some delinquent
committee.
After resume of the successful
work this school has already done,
especially at Bellows Falls, the club
voted to arrange for a similar secre-
taryship here.
L. A. Wood, county agricultural
agent, spoke of cooperative farming.
buying and selling and described his
work for the benefit of those pres
emit.
Judge Harland B. Howe followed
with an announcement of the pro-
posed plan to invite the farmers Of
the county to be the guests of the
commercial club at a meeting to be
held here early in December, when
many eminent agriculturists will be
present to give interesting and in
structive talks and demonstration to
those attending.
These plans already partly develop
ed, were placed in the hands of the
executive committee for completion
and the meeting was adjourned.
