cutting area is about six miles from
town, up the gulch that enters Mont

below the first old cabin, and the
watering place. 1t will take the best
part Of day to make the trip.
The idea OF regulation for the
Christmas tree business is receiving
hearty support In town and in the
surrounding country. Everyone
seems to be agreed that the trees
along the road and especially near
the waterworks, should be allowed to
grow into larger trees. Most peo-
pie take good deal of pleasure In
looking at the fresh big trees, and
Montpelier residents remember that
hard rain storm In the spring is
likely to be followed by a few daya
of muddy water In the pipes. 1t
