VAIL HOUSE DECIDED STATE.
Residence of Late Telephone Head al
Lyndon Changes Hands.

Mrs. Mabel S. Vail, widow of the
late !. n. Vail of Lyndon, has decided
TO the state of Vermont the palatial
residence on the Vail property in Lyn-
don, the deed having been made July
,, and signed and witnessed by Mrs.
Vail. II will be sent to the town clerk
of Lyndon for recording purposes, after
which it is very likely ybat il will be
filed in the secretary of states Office
along with the other state papers.
There is one condition included in
the deed, namely, that the grantor be
given permission to occupy the resi-
dence, cottages and buildings used in
common Herewith and land adjoining
to the residence of said grantor until
Oct. Is, which means that Mrs. Vail
does not intend to come to the prop
erty again after this season.
The state has the property and now
comes the question what can it do with
the residenceg Ii is not fitted for any
needs the state has. II probably cost
100000 to construct the property. but
if placed on the market it would not
sell for anywhere near that sum. OF
course, the deed will be submitted to
the attorney general for his opinion.
The deed sets forth that the grantor
deeds the real estate, in which the
widow and her deceased husband had
rights by quit claim to the state, but
in fact this only relates to the resi-
dence In the near future il will l'e-
come necessary for the Vail school TO
be moved from the Lyndon institute,
but it is question if the residence
would be Of any value for use in con.
ducting the Vail agricultural school.

created by the triumphant Greek ad-

demand, however, was not made until

There is much speculation among the
Turks as to how the entente powers
will deal with them after the Greeks
dominate the Bsgdsd railway, which
now seems inevitable to the people
here, although those in the interior of
the country still hope that Mustaphs
Kennel may check the Greek advance.
