VERMONT AND SHEEP INTEREsTs

VERMONT AND SHEEP INTERESTS,
In the closing quarter Of the nineteenth
century Vermont merino sheep and the
Australian sheep market had an intimate
relationship. As a result Vermont sheep
became almost famous as Vermont
horses had been in tho golden age of the
Morsans. Almost fabulous prices were
paid for some Of the best sheep Of Green
Mountain strains. Indeed one heard then
OF almost as large q sum being paid for
sheep as are now paid for the worlds
most famous hens or most celebrated
dogs. Good breeding specimens sold at
from 5000 to $4,000 each.

EXTENSION OF BONDS.

Negotiations are under way by the

company to extend the bonds of the road
for period of 20 years, It is said. It was
explained by a representative Of the COM
pany that at a meeting Of the bond hold
ers IN Boston 1t was agreed by large
percentage to extend the bonds for 20
years and that It was expected that the
consent Of all would be secured. The un-
paid interest would be continued and
paid at future interest periods. The
bonds OF the company, total 100000. 1t
Is probably not the desire of the bond
holders to take control of the road. New
franchises are now under consideration
In Barre and Montpelier and Berlin, and
after their adoption 1t is the belief that
the road will have no trouble with its
new financial plans.
