big lead of tn locals and finally wiz

was a great disappointment to the
1900 fans who jammed into the field
to see their favorite treated so
roughly by the heavy sluggers from
the Granite state, especially after he
baffled them in the early innings.
1t was a tough game for the Or
leans toys to lose but it was just an
other demonstration of the fact that
no ball game is won until the last in
ming no matter how strong the lead
may be. The locals were sailing along
vcrv smoothly at the opening of the
fifth frame leading their adversaries
by 7 runs. Whether Carlson gained
the idea that he could rest awhile or
not is not known, but something hap
pened and it was not long before the
Orleans twirler had "blown up" but
practically the whole team had gone
to pieces behind him. While the New
Hampshire batters, knocked the pill to
all Corners of the lot, the infielders
seemed unable to stop even easy
grounder5 that crossed their paths.
And of course with everyone on the
Orleans side booting the ball, the
Woodsville boys easily reaped valu-
able harvest.
Orleans was able to secure it's early
lead as a result of the ineffectiveness
of Sullivan of Woodville who seemed
to have nothing but a straight ball
and a slight Gin" which was easy meat
Oh the locals Had Sullivan been left
in the box for the. remainder of the
game a different tale might have been
told in these columns, but the Woods
vile captain showed Judgment and
yanked Sullivan, replacing him with
Barber, who started the game at the
third sack. Barber proved to be a
good relief pitcher for he failed to
allow single hit or run while. he
was on the mound. For five. innings
he pitchcd n no hit, no run game
Had he pitched the whole nine inn
ings, he might have carced a niche
in the national pastime's Hall OF
Fame. 3d.. ... ... =.
BARRIERS speed was too much for
the Orleans boys.
Tie game was a long drawn out
affair. lasting nearly three hours.

nant up the Barton valley past the
Landing" and over into the valley of
the Passumpsic.
These are the first white men
whom we know to have visited this
region. Some Tories and British spies
as we'll as deserters from Washing
tons army settled in the northern
wilderness.
One of Rogers scouts was Joel
Priest who later came back and set
tied in this region. .,
The chartering of Barton links to
its history the famous names OF Ira
Allen, John Paul Jones, the famous
naval commander, and General Will
liam Barton.
IA Allen in the first allotment of
land had the site of the present vii
lage of Barton Landing. Paul Jones
had the lot on which "the old fair
ground" was later located. General
Barton himself came to the town
named for him and promoted its early
settlement.
Major Roger Enos acquired the
land allotted to Ira Allen and built
sawmill at the Falls above the In
dian and Pioneer Landing in 1920.
Previous to this the landing was
used for the shipment of pearlash to
Canada in 1903. The channel of the
river was cleared out and boats and
RATS took the produce to Quebec.
The war of 1912 brought panic to
the border settlements and delayed
rapid settlement of Orleans county.
No invasion came but many daring
characters engaged in the smuggling
of cattle across the border One en-
counter with smugglers occurred near
the "landing."
The progress of settlement was
slow till 1868, when the coming of the
railroad stimulated new industry.
The speaker dwelt on features of
pioneer life and mentioned many of
the early inhabitants, whose thrift
and activity brought progress to the
Landing.
He compared the "good old times
with modern boys and naid high
compliment to the public spirit which
| characterized the place and marked
its achievements.
Everything on the entire centennial
program has been free to the gener-
al public and everyone is more thar
nleased with what the committee has
done for them. One good thing thu
committee did was to absolutely pro
hibit any "fakers" from setting VI

The history of northern Vermont,

"Y" of the Green Mountains, has
characterized peculiar to itself which
! differ widely from the history of
the region about Fort Drummer in the
Southeastern corner of the state and
also from the history of the Ben
nington region and the Champlain
Valley. t.a
The northern frontier has a charm
of it's own due to its peculiar loca-
ton. Early frequented by the Indians
and the French from Canada, it was
unsafe for English settlers until af-
ter the Revolution. The close of the
French and Indian wars brought
scouts, hunters, and trappers into
this section. The country was pa
radise for hunters and fishermen,
since the settlement of the southern
sections of the state drove north the
moose and small deer, besides bear,
beaver and otter.
An old Indian told of the slaughter
of 27 moose in a single season in Bar
ton near the outlet of Crystal Lake

In 1852 John Stark was taken as
a captive by the Indians to Canada
