to brisk blaze In one of six or seven
conical piles Of short spruce logs, ar.
gregating approximately 5000 cords, ana
contiguous to piles aggregating about
three million feet of long logs all owned
by the International Paper company.
The hre was about two-thirds the dis.
lance from the top Of the highest pile and
required strenuous work for nearly three
hours to subdue. The damage was not
large but the danger was great because
II one pile burned all would and the vii.
lage would probably have been wiped out
by the intense heat Another pile was
found on fre just week ago At the
extreme top. The origin was possibly from
friction of carrier chains. or the electricity

to be used In manufacturing pulp and
paper and it Is estimated that two and q
half years supply for local mills 10 on

MARK CONFERENCE SITE.

inEs Were Held,

Barnard, Oct. CAN event Of more
than passing interest will be the unveil-
ing here November I and Of a marker
on the site Of the first Methodist Episco-
pal Church in Barnard and in the White
River valley, where the 1911 and 1924 ses-
sions of the New England conference
were held. Bishop Francis Asbury presid-
ing on the former occasion and Bishop
Enoch George the latter. The New
England conference then covered New
England and Barnard must have been an
important point to be chosen twice as the
seat of conference sessions. The New
England and Vermont conferences, the
latter organized in 1916. are uniting in the
celebration. An attractive program 10
promised, including the name of the Rev.
DR.. Timothy p. Frost, the speaker on

most distinguished Methodists Of his
time. a native Vermonter who within a
month has retired to make his future
home in Bradford, where he once served
as pastor. For the last IA years he had
filled the very important pulpit Of the
First Church at Evanston, Ill. Another
attractive name Is that Of the Rev. w. NJ.
Newton Of Providence. r. l., a native Of
Barnard. whose ancestors for three gene
rations were interested in the Barnard
church. After filling important appoint
ments In the Vermont conference he was
transferred to the New England southern
conference, whore his success in several
charges has been noteworthy A third
name of much prominence is that Of the
Rev. DIR. william Shaw, superintendent
of the st. Johnsbury district. a native Of
England. but regarded as the foremost
member Of the Vermont conference, hav-
ing had the unusual honor Of consecutive
elections as a delegate to the quAdren-
NAL general conference Of the denomina.
ton.
The modest house Of worship. whose
erection 10 years ago is the nominal
cause of the present demonstration stood
for type of heroism. without which our
more recent civilization and Christianity
would not have existed.
Prominent In the large task Of pre-.
pairing for the event have been the Rev.
f. w. Sharp Of Brattleboro. supcrintend-
ent Of the Montpelier district. and the
Rev. Louis I. Hallway. the gifted pastor
Of the church and a member Of a promi-
nent Massachusetts, Methodist family, who
Is earnestly alive to the Importance Of
the Vermont rural church and Of com.
memorating the deeds Of the fathers In
rural fields.
The first meeting. on Thursday. Novem.
