at least one member who has the
courage of his convictions. In an
nouncing his candidacy for the demo-
cratic nomination last summer. he
publicly stated that he was opposed
to woman suffrage and prohibition
and could not see any great harm In
permitting gambling ON horse races
under proper restrictions. 1t was
thought that no man could be nomi-
mated for ONCE in this county on such
platform. but Barnsley fooled the
wiseacres by winning the nomination
quite easily.

PLAN TO RUN
TWO STEAMERS
ON LAKE "MACOC''
Newport Chamber of Com
MERGE Considers Plan to
Boom Summer Trade

Bringing with him plans for the
formation of company to operate
two lake steamers in our beautiful
MemphremAgog waters during the
summer months, Captain j. C. Reed
skipper of the steamer "Woburn" q
pleasure boat in Lake Megantic, is in
Newport attempting to interest the
Chamber of Commerce and other
business organizations in his scheme
Captain Reed in an interview with
a staff correspondent of the Caledon-
ian Record declared that he had
been persuaded by several parties in
shipping company to operate two
boats, one leaving Newport every day
and the other leaving Magog each
morning.
If this company if organized, Cap
tain Reed has arranged to take over
the "Anthemis," which is owned by
A. Clark of Georgeville. If this boat
was secured it would be necessary to
build another steamer 1t is impos-
,sible to secure a second hand boat
and bring her into this lake because
the water falls at the. outlet will not
permit this. Lake Memphremagog
plunges nearly 600 feet into the st.
Francis river at certain points and
with this tremendous fall of water of
course it would be impossible to
bring a boat from st. Francis into
this lake.
Captain Reed addressed the direc-
tor of the Chamber of Commerce
Monday evening. The proprietors of
the local hotels were also present at
the meeting and listened to his pleas
for the proposed scheme.
The chamber was about evenly di-
vided in their views on his PROPOSE
ton. Many believed that money
should be spent for the construction
of new hotel in Newport before any
large sum was plunged into boat

rs ATTEND GRANGE
AT IRASBURG

More than rs persons attended the
meeting of the Pomona Grange and
the Black River Valley Grange which
was held in Irasburg all day Thurs
day. The meeting was huge sue
cess in every way.
The utilization Of the Memphrema-
cog Grange of Newpwolt and the
Maple Valley Grange of Albany with
the Pomona Grange took place at
this meeting. Sixteen members from
the Newport Grange sent in applica-
tons to join the Pomona organiza-
ton.
A large number of those present
took the secret of the fifth degree.
There was an excellent literary pro-
gram.
Miss Bertha Holden of the Exten-
sion service of Burlington delivered
an address to the gathering which
was greatly enjoyed by all
There we're readings by Mrs. John
Carpenter of Irasburg and F. e.

The singing by the grange was of
a high order and registered a big hit
with those present.
An elaborate banquet was served at
noon. There was large variety of
food and everyone enjoyed the din
ner immensely.

company. Others believed that Cap
tain Reeds proposition should b
given consideration and looked int
lit to see if it had merit.
The new boat is calculated to carr,
500 passengers and will be up-to-dat
in every respect. 1t is planned t.
have both boats make daily trips ant
also to hold excursions each night ant
Sunday afternoons. This would be
fine thing for the people of Newpor
as it would give them chance tt
spend their evenings during the no
summer months on the lake. At pre-
sent there is no chance for the bust
ness men of the city to take theil
families on night excursions on thu
warm summer evenings,
Capeain Reed informed the repor
ter that several prominent men of the
city had agreed to take certain
amount Of stock in the new company
while others believed that a hospital
was the first thing that should be
considered. 1t was suggested that
Captain Reed in addition to canvass
ing Newport should look to Magog
Bridgeport and other outside places
to purchase some of the shares in the
company
Captain Reed said:
GLOW can you expect to build your
ni+ 1r 10 IL, for To-
lists to get on your beautiful lake.
The way the boat is being ru.l now
the pleasure seekers can not be ac-
commodated. The boat is now being
run from Magog only and this gives
the people of Newport no chance to
take excursions on the waters.
'"Your visitors will stop off only
long enough to get bite to eat and
then will speed on into another city.
If you had two boats on the lake they
would stay here and enjoy trip down
the lake on one of these boats.
"There is one thing certain you
cannot expect people to stop here
long enough to benefit your mer-
chants by their trade unless you have
accommodation for them on the lake
Newport would be twice the town it
is now if you had good boat service
between here and Magog.
al have talked with Mayor Gardner
and C. F. Bigelow, president of the
Newport National Bank and several
other prominent men and they are
very enthusiastic over my plan.
81 have also talked with the hotel
proprietors of your city and they are
very much in favor % the PROPOSE
ton. They have all agreed~to build
additions to their houses if the pro-
position is put through"
S. Culins, proprietor of the Derby
Line hotel gave Captain Reed letter
of introduction to Col. c. S. Emery,
to whom he first told his story. The
Colonel listened to him and made ar
engagements for him to address the
directors of the Chamber of Com

prospect is that the event will occur

two parts, a banquet for all the sol

within reach who has worn Uncle
Sans uniform, either khaki blue;
which, of course, includes the S. A.

camp or saw service anywhere. In
asmueh as it is impossible for the
committee to secure complete and
accurate list of our soldier boys and
their addresses, any who fail to re-
ceive special invitation are urged to
attend and are here assured of a cor
dial welcome. This invitation is also
extended to soldier boys south of Gra-
ham county and to all sojourning sol
dier and sailor boys within reach of
| Wa-Keeney.
Another matter which was dis

| was proposition to erect perma-
nent and appropriate memorial in
! honor of the part which Trego county
/ and her sons have had in the great
] war-a fitting monument in memory
| of the loyalty of her people and the
sacrifices of her soldier boys. This
matter being of interest to the people
i of the whole county, is held in abey-
ance for wider and more general dis
/ eussion, all present feeling that ou1
J immedite duty is to extend welcome
to the boys as they come hone, which
will necessarily include other recep-
tlons demonstrations later on OF
