TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
TO THE SOUTH BAD
Truck with Man, Woman and Child
Stuck in Mud over Last Night
Good Roads Below State Line.

Traffic conditions on the main high
WAYS to the south of Brattleboro have
come into special prominence during the
past few days. largely by reason Of the
fact that automobiles cannot take their
usual early season route by way of Hms-
dale. \. H., and Northfield, Mass, These
conditions are causing expletives of a
kind that would be likely to penetrate
the hide of even such a hardened politi-
elan as State Highwayman Commissioner
Bates if he were within earshot.
While the road to Bernardston by way
of the Guilford SLATE rock district was
passable Saturday morning it has become
steadily worse since that time Last
night a two ton truck occupied by man,
woman and one child spent the night
nesting in the mud some miles south Of
| Brattleboro The main road to Vernon
is not much better, a mudhole near the
George Hubbard place having kept one
pair of horses busy hauling automobiles
out of it for several days.
| These conditions are particularly an
moving in contrast to the excellent con
dition of the state roads that are en-.
| countered as soon as one crosses the line
into Massachusetts,. There has been 8
'feeling hereabouts for consderabl,
time that this county never received it:
just due from the state highway depart
ment and the sentiment has been inten
sified by conditions this spring.

TROUT STREAMS
NOW BANK-FULL
Rain Last Night and Today Add to Un-
favorable Conditions for Opening
Of Season Thursday.

The season when trout legally may
be taken from streams in Vermont
opens day after tomorrow. There is no
likelihood, however, that the occasion
will be marked by anything like the
usual exodus of Waltonian disciples
Fishermen with long memories and
active imaginations are free to admit
that they can recall no season when
conditions were more unfavorable for
trout taking than they promise to be
on Thursday. Streams in this locality
are approximately a month behind time
so far as fishing is eoncerned.--Just at
present most of them are bank-full
from the rain of last night and this
morning, and with the heavy body of
snow that still remains in the woods
there is little prospect of their reaching
normal height for some time to come.
While this state of affairs naturally
is disappointing to a good many, those
who believe in an early opening date
point out that the very conditions now
existing will prevent the extensive
slaughter of fish that takes place in
seasons when conditions are favorable
on the opening day. Sometime between
now and midsummer there is bound to
be good trout fishing, but it will be had
by the fishermen who proves themselves
to be the closest observers.

NEW YORK TRIPS
Natural Result of reight and Express
Tie-Up Is Increase in Parcel Post
Business Packages Divided to Come
Within Limit.

Within Limit.
Embargoes on express and freight
shipments because of the railroad strike
in New York are being felt by Brattle-
boro shippers, although the situation has
not yet become acute. The express en-
barge went into effect Saturday and the
freight embargo yesterday.
The natural result has been to increase
the volume of parcel post business at the
postoffice, but only small proportion of
he usual shipments can be sent that way.
Some articles which ordinarily would GO
by freight or express in packages too
large to be accepted for parcel post are
being done up in smaller packages to
come within the parcel post limit
| Thus far the principal increase in par
eel post business is noticeable in incom-
ing shipments, but the volume of outgo-
ing business is growing
Only freight for local stations on the
Boston & Maine, Central Vermont and
Boston & Albany roads is being received
at the Brattleboro station. In substance
this is true of express packages, but the
orders change so rapidly that it is diff
cult to keep track of them. Express is
acceptable for most points in Vermont,
New Hampshire and Maine and part of
Massachusetts.
As a result of the embargoes products
manufactured at the various Brattleboro
factories are beginning TO accumulate
at the factories, and the business places
are able to receive only limited amount
of material from outside points.
At the Estey Organ Co.'S plant, from
which large daily shipments are made,
several carloads are in storage. The Dun
ham Bros. Co. has about carload of
footwear ready for shipment. There are
other aecumulations at the plants of
the White River Chair Co.. s. A. Smith
Mfg. Co, Fort Dummer Mills, c. E. Brad
ley corporation, E. Crosby & Co., and
other concerns.

gan shipping by parcel post today, send

cd. The Bfattleboro Lumber Corp. sent

York yesterday with last blocks. E. L
