FOR new y0Rk.QuEBEC TRAIL
New England Clubs Talk Over
Plan at Boston.
O'6II Million Cubic Feet Of Water
m"nt-Hudson Highlands, Litch-
field HnlA Berkshires, Green
MOuntains In Route.

The linking up of existing trails all the
way from New York city to Quebec, Can
ada. and from the Green mountains to tho
White. by means OF new trails, is the am
bilious plan of the Green Mountain club
and several other mountain clubs Of New
England Representatives OF the latt%.
met at the Appalachian clubs rooms In
Boston last Friday for the second time
this year and discussed routes ways and
means. The sense of the meeting was
that beginning should be made this
spring on construction work. The organi-
cations represented included besides the
Green Mountain club the Appalachian
club, which works in the White noun
tains. the Dartmouth. N. H., Outing club,
the Amherst and Williams. Mass. Outing
clubs, the New England Society for the
Protection of New Hampshire Forests and
various local clubs of New Hampshire.
James p. Taylor OF the Greater Vermont
association attended from here
Roughly speaking. the route proposed
for the trail. leaving aside alternate
routes that do not include the Green
mountain range, was the highlands of the
Hudson to West Point crossing the river
to the Iitchfield Hills. the Rerkshires. the
Green mountains over the Long Trail
and the Notre Dame mountains. In YER
mont new trails would have to be built
from Prospect Rock opposite Manchester
to Eillington mountain and from John
son to the Canadian line. and the trail
from Mt killington to Lincoln mountain
would have have to be improved. To con-
meet the Green and White mountains. the
trail would be taken from Cancels Hump
or Mansfield through Essex county past
Willoushby lake to the Connecticut river,
all in northeast direction.
So far as Vermont Is concerned. the
Bennington, Manchester. Rutland. Bran
don, Middlebury and Burlington branches
of the Green Mountain club are chiefly in
risville. Stowe and Waterbury, from north
to south, are also involved
The cross trail routes from the Green
to the White mountains would not he the
only ones to be built; eventually the Adj
rondacks, Maine and Connecticut would
also he included. The former connecting
link would be by way of the eastern arm
of a big Y as a bridge from Vermont.
The big project was talked over on July
2l-23, 1914, at the sixth annual forestry
conference in the White mountains, held
at Gorham, y. II. when Mr.. Taylor spoke
on "A Series OF Trails for New England"
ON February 2, 1917, meeting similar TO
Fridays was held at the Appalachian
club.
The national conservation commission in
n report in 1900 emphasized the import
ance Of the value of New England's seem
cry and the desirability of preserving IL.

 COTTON MILL HERE
Declares The Belief That It Is Best Proposition Ever Put Before Lo-
 cal Commercial Interests.

J. E. Boyce, president of the Cot ton Belt Savings & Trust Co.,, who has been spending his vacation in Hollister Mo-, and the Ozarks, has returned to the city. MT. Boyce was member of the chamber of commerce committee, which investigated the matter of mov- ing the cotton mills from a west Ten nessee town to Pine Bluff, early last year and reported favorably, was seen yesterday by representative of The Graphic, and questioned on the sub ject of building plant in this city.
 q have been in favor of local cotton mills for the last 25 years," he said "The building of one mill will bring others in a very short time. They will build themselves out of the earn ings of the first mill, We have suf- ficient local capital for the purpose.
 Some years ago, was told about the manner in which the first cotton mill was built in La Grange, Ga. This town has a number of cotton mills, growing out of the first, and there are quite number of other in dustries in the town.
 Several men of La Grange were engaged in talking and whittling one day, when one of them asked, "What's the matter with building a cotton mill ?"This started the thing going, and they organized company. The earnings in a few years were suf- ficient to build another mill, and that is the way it went.
 "In my opinion it is the best propo- sition of Pine Bluff has had"

FIRE INCREASE ALARMING

The situation which has arisen in the fire insurance field due to war conditions is of direct interest to ev- rery man in Arkansas who owns i'm ssured property. It is predicted that insurance on certain commodities, es- peclally cotton, may be unobtainable at any price, due not only to war time risks. but lso to the unprecedented rise in cotton values. The insurance companies say that something radical must be done in the way of reform and protection against the tremendous fire waste. The losses for the United States and Canada, for one month. July 1918, is computed by the New York Journal of Commerce as SPA 564.575 while during the same month in 1915 it was $9,0O6,80O:
