TWO KILLED ON
GOSHEN MOUNTAIN

Addison County's worst auto acci-
dent of the season occurred early last
evening, just before dark, when the
brakes broke on a heavy army truck
coming down Goshen mountain, and
the vehicle plunged over an embank-
ment, killing two of the four men
who were riding on the truck at the
time. The accident happened about
nall a mile east of Goshen Corners.
The dead are Corp. Frank ]. Van
Valkenberg of Hudson, N. Y, a re-
cruiting officer from Albany headquar-
tiers, and civilian, identity unknown,
who had asked for a ride on the truck
from Tunbridge to Rutland
The only means of identification on
this man, who lived a few finutes af-
ter the accident, was the name, George
N. Byrne, engraved in the case of a
watch found in his pocket
The other members of the party were
the driver of the truck, Sergt. Robert
II, Steltz of the Burlington recruit
ing station, who suffered scalp wound.
and Corp. E. G. MacTavey of the New
York city recruiting station, who was
unhurt.
The party was on the way from Tun-
bridge to Rutland, having been on a
recruiting expedition to Essex Center.
Northfeld, Tunbridge and other places
IN that section. Sergt. Steltz states
that Corp. Van Valkenberg was work
ing the emergency brake, the highway
being very steep at the point where
the accident happened, when suddenly
the machine was beyond control and
plunged ahead and over the bank. He
believes that the brake broke or failed
to work.
Dr. o. c. Baker of Brandon was call
ed, the civilian passenger living only
lew moments after the physician
reached him. The bodies were taken
to the undertaking rooms of E. Y
treer in Brandon. Sergt. Steltz and
Corp. MacTavey are at the Brandon
Inn awaiting orders.
Corp. Van Valkenberg had served
over seas, two stars on his uniform
showing he was veteran of two major
engagements,

CORN BORER HERE,
POTATO CROP POOR

The Registers Salisbury correspond
ent reports that the corn borer, which
is so destructive throughout some sec
tions of the United States especially
in the south and west, has found its
way in to Addison County Frank Mel
son of Salisbury, while husking corn
this fall, found quite a number of these
pests which are needle like worms bor-
ing into the heart of the kernel, destroy
ing it for seed and making it almost un-
fit even for the table meal. So far as
known to the Register this is the first
appearance of the corn borer in this
section.
The potato crop in the county is of
varying quality but a majority of the
farmers are reporting bad luck. In l.
few instances the crop has been so poor
from rot that it has hardly paid to dig.
Ira Gale of Salisbury reports that he
dug potatoes all day at his farm and
secured only four and half bushels of
good potatoes. The price is holdin.

MANY FARMS ARE
CHANGING HANDS

Brdport has been the center during
the past two weeks of unusual activi-
ty in real estate transfers, indicative of
a rapidly rising valuation of Addison
County farm properties, and an especial
interest among French Canadians in
acquiring further holdings in this sec
ton.
Three Bridport farms have been sold
during the past fortnight, all of them
well known properties Herbert Heus-
It's sold his farm this week to Philorum
LaFrance of Castleman, Canada, who
with his wife and three children will
take possession on November lst. This
is the well known Cassius Crane farm
of lS7 acres, situated in the northeast
corner of Bridport township, which
has been in Mr.. Heustis' possession
for several years. With the farm he
sold IL head of cattle and three horses,
and will dispose of the balance of his
stock at auction. Mr. and Mrs. Heus-
It's and their daughter, Sabra, will
probably move to 'Middlebury this
winter for the latter's education
Two other residents of CasAOua an,
Canada, also have bought Brdport
farms this week Odilof Quesnel, broth
er of Alpha Quesnel of Leicester June
tion, purchased the Orrison S. Sherbino
farm, just south of Bridport village.
This is a farm of about $50 acres and
the new owner is to take possession
December lst Mr.. Sherbinos future
plans are not known.
The Henry W. Still farm of $50 acres,
which adjoins the Sherbino farm at the
rear, was also sold to another brother of
Quesnel, named Olivia Quesnel, who has
already taken part possession. Mr..
Still will live in Bridport village this
winter planning later, when Mrs. Still
recovers from her present illness, to
take a smaller place somewhere. The
three farm sales were made through the
n. S. Foote agency, and although
prices were not given out it is said that
the Canadians were selling their lands
at home at remarkably high prices and
were paying well for their new hold
ings

]. R. CARTMELL
AT ADDISON DESK

"Au aboard for train going south -
the warning call of Frank R. Stone, for
90 years etc, is still to be heard in the
lobby of the famous old Addison
House; and from the kitchen the savo-
ry odors of Chef Edward Daniels cui-
sine are still tempting guests to the
spacious dining room, but John and
Ed and mike, the triumvirate of the
Higgins dynasty which for over twen-
ty years has ruled the place, has di-
solved and evacuated. according to
schedule as announced in The Register
some time ago
The epoch was marked on Wednes-
day noon, October lst, when James R.
Cartmell, one of the joint owners of
the hotel property. took his place be-
hind the desk and took over the man
agement temporarily until a new pro-
prietor is installed. Mr.. Cartmell was
successful in keeping Porter Stone and
Chef Daniels for the time-being, and Sc
cured the services of Mrs. Arthur c.
Iaber as housekeeper. In addition, he
IS being assisted by his daughter, Miss
Gladys Cartmell, in the bookkeeping.
The retirement of Mr.. Higgins was a
quiet and rather gloomy affair to him
self and all his friends, but he insisted
that his health required him to part
company with the responsibilities which
he had borne so many years. and he
could not see fit to continue his man
agement further into the fall The wor-
ry of his final leave taking apparently
told upon him, and he was eagerly look
ing forward to a few Care-free weeks in
the woods. Accompanied by Count"
Gushing Hill as guide, by George
Dougherty as gun bearer, and his dog
Teddy, Mr. Higgins expects to put
in as much time hunting this fall as
the weather and the law allow His
son, Michael Higgins, left Wednesday
noon for Butte, Mont, where he will
assist in running the hotel d'Auchel at
lO4 East Park street in that city Mr..
and Mrs, Edward Higgins have re-
moved to their home on Court street.
What will be the final arrangements
for running the hotel are still uncertain.
Messrs. Allan Calhoun and J. R. Cart
nell, joint owners, said today that ne
gotiations were still in progress with
H. B. Dutton of Buffalo, formerly man
ager of the Statler hotel in that city,
but the latter's illness with grip at the
present time had prevented him from
coming here Whether this arrange
ment will eventually go through, or
some other proprietor takes charge,
every effort will be made to keep the
service at the old hotel up to standard
Faith that this will be accomplished is
seen in the decision of the oldtime
guests to continue residence there, in
Guiding Mrs. s. A. Ilsley, Prof. Myron
R. Sanford and others.

Farms for Sale and Help Problem

Visitors at the Eastern States Ex-

sale may have wondered why Largely
because of the help, if the truth be

Vermont farming was so profitable as
the present, providing-and here is the
nub of lt--that the individual farmer
can work his plant up to capacity pro-

are, by the lack Of help, so that his out
put is small, he suffers accordingly

SAD REVELATION IN
REDEEMED REGIONS

Rome. Feb. 15.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. IAN Amerl-
can Methodist commission has recent
ly returned to Rome after an extern
sive trip throughout Italy to study
social and economic conditions here
so that American Methodists may
know how best to aid Italy in her
great task of reconstruction. The
commission consists of DR., Frank
Mason North OF New York. Theodore
S. Henderson of Detroit, Bishop Will

DR. B. M. Triple, head of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church here.
"Our journey through the redeem

u.s." said DR. Triple. We have pass
ed through hundreds of devastated
cities and villages of the northern
provinces. City after city, village af-
ter villages utterly and completely
wrecked. Tens of thousands of homes
have been entirely destroyed. Even
where a house is left standing moth
ing remains but the bare walls and
all the furniture has been removed.
"Hhere and there we passed groups
of returning refugees. They looked
cold and forlorn yet did not complain
Until we saw it with our own eyes

magnitude Of the difficulties which
Italy has overcome, the enormous
sacrifices she made to win the war
