Last week Wednesday Ernest H.
West returned from his long sojourn
in the Colorado Rockies. That the
trip agreed with him is shown By his
perfect health and well tanned skin
His experiences among the snow
fields and marble beds twelve to four
teen thousand feet above the sea level
are most interesting to listen to, and
all who hear him can not help but
envy Mr.. West his trip.
There are more than so autos in and
around this village and with the autos
from other places passing through
there seems to be one continuous
stream Of them. Care should be taken
to have all lights lighted at the prop
er time and see to it that they are
kept going. Especially the tail
lights. Sunday night between $50 |
and Gas eight machines passed
rere without any rear lights
and during the evening five machines
went through after 500 o'clock with
out any lights at all.
A Manchester auto with siren
horn passes through this village about
three times week at from 500 p. m.
to 200 a. m. and as soon as the village
IS reached (either end) the horn is
started full blast until they have pass
ed beyond the village. Last time they
made the round of Church street and
then on down Main street toward Man
chester. The names of the men are
known as is the owner of the car. III
this continues steps will be taken to
punish them as public nuisances. "a
word to the wise should be sufficient

We understand that last Monday the
NJ. d. & G.. r. r. Co., vermont
Marble Coz have cut out all the trains
but one and from now on Dorset will |
be without any train service. For
from what we are able to learn the
one train will be of very little use to
our people. We know the road has
not been paying; but for years we
have tried to make the company and
our people see that if it were COM
pleted into the village it would be a
paving investment. Who is to blame
for its not being built we can not say; |
but it seems to us that our people |
should have made strong effort to
aid the railroad company in building
the extra mile and half. Perhaps /
they will try now they have lost what
they have had for so many years.
One of the pleasant events Of the
past week was the surprise party Civ
en- to Mrs. S. S. Pratt Friday evening,
the 10Th, in honor of her birthday by
her daughters, Mrs. Herbert McTighe
