postponing the completion of the i'm
provementS on Vernon street, which
they figure would cost from s., 800 to
$1,000, until labor and material are
cheaper.
On the general subject of highways
and streets the selectmen report as
follows:
In Brattleboro we have about So
miles Of village streets and highways.
These consist of rockpaved, macadam
and gravel roads and several miles of
sidewalks. Some of these roads and
streets are steep and wash badly IN
time OF heavy rain. 1t requires a man
OF experience and ability to success
fully care for all these different kinds
of roads and sidewalks. Some of the
taxpayers thought we ought to have a
man of this kind as road supervisor.
SO on motion the town voted to leave
the whole matter to the selectmen and
instructed them to get a man who thor
oughly understood all kinds Of road
work and also had some engineering
knowledge.
Soon after town meeting we began
looking for a good man, and we are
glad to say we found him in Mr. Ar
thur A. Wallace of Keene, n. H. We
have been well pleased with him and
his work, and believe that the people
of the town also are well pleased. We
would like to keep him another year
as we think him exactly the man for
the place.
'Mr. Wallace has had some hard
problems to contend with. Last fall,
after the regular road work was done,
very heavy rainstorm did great dam
age TO our highways, washing holes IN
some streets four feet in depth and
undermining a bank wall on Canal
street, which alone cost 500 to repair.
Altogether the storm cost the town
about $4,000 This winter, on account
of the excessive amount Of snow, the
cost Of taking care of it has been three
times the usual amount Taken to
gether, the cost of road damage by last
fall 5 storm and the snow account for
the period beginning February l, 1917,
and ending Jenuary 81, 1918, represents
the amount of the temporary loans I'M
paid, /. G., $4,000. =
Their views as to town finances are
expressed in the following paragraphs:
1.-The town s bonded Indebtedness al
the present time is $4,000. Bond:
to the amount of $4,000 came due Janu
airy l, 1918, and were paid. During
the coming year $2t 900 more in bonds
viii mature; $4,000 July !, 1918, and
$4,000 January l, 1919. Some action
will have to be taken at the coming
town meeting to meet payment on these
bonds. We would recommend that a Il
per cent tax be assessed each wear t.

ment on bonds as they become due
There are temporary loans unpaid L
the amount Of $4,000, which must alst
be taken care of. The cash balance

Road Commissioner Report.

Arthur A. Wallace in his annual re-
port says:
The past year considerable
amount of work has been done on the
highways of the town and, as Is al
ways the ease with several miles of
roads, much more was seen that ought
to have received attention. The policy
of the department has been to keep all
Of the many roads in as good shape
al possible with the amount of money
available, and where any permanent
work was done to aim to make it per-
manent. To certain extent, the high
prices and uncertain conditions have
Effected the amount of work that can
be accomplished with given sum of
money for highway purposes nearly as
much as in other lines of business.

III Some sage. Has arisen to remark
that human life up to about fifty year,

Unfortunately, there is no way accu-

~ All we can know for certain Is that
the happiness Of our own times Is the

Happiness. like health, Is known to
us chiefly through its opposite. Health
Is known through disease and pain,
and happiness through disappoint4

The masses Of mankind, until this
century almost dumb, now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfactio ton!

have.
Philosophers may wrangle about IL
until doomsday, and no doubt they
win; but the age which knows the

PITIFUL SCENES
ONE STORY OF THE HORRORS OF
THE MINNESOTA FOR
EST FIRES.

Mrs. E. H.. Laugen, of this city, is
in receipt of a letter from a relative
who passed through the horrors of
the Minnesota forest fires. Refer
ring to members of the family who
were in the midst of the fire the
writer says:
Ray and Harry are both resting
nicely now. They are much better
this morning. The doctors think
they are going to be alright. Both
of their faces and heads are burned
badly. Harry's body is not burned
at all. One little leg has several
small burns and both Of his hands
and arms to his elbow are terrible.
Rays face, head and hands are an
awful sight. Rays hips and legs are
burned some. Neither of their eyes
are injured. Ray can see today and
part of yesterday he was able to open
one eye a very little. Harry's eyes
are still closed, but the doctor thinks
he will be able to open them today
"At the time of the fire, about
o'clock Saturday evening, Ray was
fighting to save his hay. He saw he
could do nothing so ran to the house
and took wooden blankets, soaked
them in water and he, Nellie and lit

OFF THE TRACK
TWO CARS OF SWITCH TRAIN
DERAILED In MILWAU-
KEE YARDS.

About an hour and a half before
the morning passenger trains from
the north and west arrived there was
a wreck in the Milwaukee yards at a
POINT just west of the station where
a switch opens upon the first siding
south of the main line. The switch
men had a lot of work to do and
were rushing their job to have every
thing cleared before the morning
passenger trains came In. The
switch crew were handling several
cars near the point above mentioned
when suddenly two cars left the
track, one jumping entirely off its
front trucks and remaining on the
track and the other turning on its
side at the south side of the side
track. A brake beam on one of the
moving ears dropped from its hang
ers, thus causing the accident. Both
passenger trains were delayed on ac-
count of the wreck. A crew of men
are busy today getting the disabled
cars in shape and back on the track.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM

Mr.. and Mrs. C. p. Rensvold are
in receipt of the following letter
from their son, George, in France,
which gives some interesting side
lights of army life:
We are camping in a forest, came
here last night. 1t is raining, as
usual, and a shelter tent, though not
roomy, is quite comfortable. We left
the village in the training area on
September 4. Since then with the
exception of a two day stop in a vii
lage we have been on the move. The
usual program would be to hike all
night, pitch our tents at dawn and
sleep during the day. The first IL
days we made nine marches through
mud and rain. During that time we
played our part in the big American
drive which began September IL.
This time we were not leading the
attack, but were a reserve force and
followed the advance. Last July we
led the attack and the boche resist
ance was much greater than now

the better for us all. The prisoner
