The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-08

The rate of gain in population which
the city of Burlington makes come up to
expectations if it does not exceed the
most sanguine hopes. The states lead
ing city continues to show healthy
growth under the accretion of new in
dustries and for other causes of less
er nature. The city's gain of ll.3 per
cent was good, all things considered;
and it will go far toward making up
the expected losses in other sections of
the state, chiefly among the small, back
towns.

CURRENT COMMENT
Boston's Popula ton.

Boston accepts with equanimity any
population report based upon a fair
count, but our people were hardly pre-
pared for the figures now announced
by the census bureau. The city gained
1900 between the federal census Of
1910 and the state census of 1915, but
between that state census and the
counting now just completed by the ma
tional bureau We gained 500! That
is, the rate Of increase between 1910
and 1915 was little more than II per
cent; the ratio Of gain between 1915
and 1920 was about one-third of | per
cent. The annexation of Hyde Park in
1911 makes but small part Of this
difference. II is gratifying to have the
assurance of the mayor that our indus
tries have grown rapidly. and it is true
that Boston's industrial population has
increasing difficulty in finding any liv-
ing quarters az all within the bounds
of the city proper, while many, as a
matter OF choice, make their homes
IN the adjacent suburbs Not until Bos-

measure as that proposed some time
ago by Mayor Peters. and counts her
population as does New York, Pitts
burg and many other American cities,
will return for Greater Boston show
in figures the actual position Of Bos-
ton.
There are three outstanding things
that may well be considered by all
who study this disappointing census
return. This is the first time since the
Republican party was formed that a
Democratic administration has made
the big national count The census of
1860 was taken in the closing wear of
the last Of the old.time Democratic
presidents. Grant was president in
1870. Hayes in 1850. Harrison in 1890,
Mckinley in 1900 and Taft in 1910.
Again. the census never before was
made in mid-winter. In earlier years
Il had been in June. Also. IL is worth
noting that this is the first time since
1850 that the national bureau has not
used the machinery Of the state census
bureau in taking the federal census.
The Massachusetts bureau always has
with the state a. a unit: for
the present census the state was divid-
"a into eight Districts, with quite pos
sibly a relative loss Of efficiency. -Bos-
ton Herald

One good result of the Republican
national convention will be to prove
that the convention of the party can
be carried along without the assistance
of the so-called bosses of the party.
The convention promises to be one of
the most Embossed conventions held in
the United States in long time, with
the representatives of the people doing
some of their own thinking and acting.
IL will be fine chance to get rid of
boss influence.

HERE AND THERE
ABOUT BARRE

In response to the inquiry regarding
the origin of the name given to Potash
| brook, one of the smaller streams run
ming into Barre, comes the assertion
! from several of the older residents of
| the city that the brook derived its
name from potash factory located
on the bank of the stream many dec
| AIDES ago. There are various ideas of
| the location of the potash factory, one
| being that the industry was located on
| the present property of Mrs. Isabella
Smith at the corner of Elm street and
Eastern avenue. However, that may
be, the matter seems to be agreed on
that the brook got its name from
potash business that flourished far
back in the last century.
Regarding the naming of the other
principal streams of Barre there are
some variations from the causes as
signed in this column recently, About
Jail branch there seems to be little
doubt that the little river got its name
from log Jail built on the bank of
the stream in the town of Washington,
either in the present village of that
name or in the outlying territory.
Some believe that the Jail, together
with an old courthouse was located
on one of the outlying hills of Wash
ington but still on the bank of the
stream, which now bears that name.
The courthouse was in the center of
wilderness OF the once great county of
Gloucester which swept from the Ca
nahian line far southwark to Tun-
bridge and STAFFORD. 1t was said that
the court officers started out from the
Connecticut river to come to this court !
house in order to hold court and were
unable to find the structure, where.
upon they returned to Newbury, where |
the session of the court was held.
As to the origin of Stevens branch |
there seems to be no question concern
ing the main fact namely, that the |
river received its name from a man |
by the name of Stevens, whose |
body was found in his camp on
the bank of the stream, in the vieini
ty of the present lntercity park. Some
assert that this Stevens was not a
settler but was trspper who came
into the region only infrequently and
that while he was on one of these ex-
petitions he was overtaken by disease
and died alone in his camp. This lat
ter version has it that the discoveries
of the body found herbs in a recepta
oble on a fire, indicating that the man
had been sleeping some medicine for
himself when overcome by the dis
ease.
The nomenclature of Gunner's brook
is by no means as certain as that of
the other three streams. The story
of the fishermen and his dog Gun
ner," which jumped into the brook and
disturbed his masters fishing is dis
puted by some authorities; and, in
stead, the claim is advanced that the
brook got its name from a Gunnerson
family which had its habitation on the
banks of the stream in the early days
Of Barre If the latter claim is cor
rect. II is easy to see how the name
Of Gunnerson might have become con.
tracted by use to Gunner's as at pres
emit used in designating the brook.

PEACE RETURNS

bal of ratification. putting the long
argued Versailles pact into effect.
The entire work of cleaning up the
duties of the peace conference was
being speeded up as never before. At
yesterdays conference of the big
three, it was understood Premiers
Nitti and Lloyd George presented their
proposed solution for the Fiume prob
lem. Premier Clemenceau. it was un-
derstood. gave his approval
The French particularly have en-
phasized the need for haste, as the
present cabinet expires January II
and desires to leave the scene with
clean slate. The new cabinet, 1t was
believed, will wish to adopt new poll
cies on many questions and the pres
ent government does not wish to leave
it hampered by unfinished business
The Fiume agreement was said to
provide Fiume and cara shall be free
ports under control of the League of
Nations, with Serbian zones in the
extremity of each city, giving that
country access to the sea. A portion of
the Adriat tic coast will be neutralized,
the Serbians guaranteeing fair treat
ment to the Italian inhabitants.
Italy receives Istria and several
strategic islands but agrees to limit
her sea and land ornaments in these
possessions.
The present peace conference, it
was understood, will end with the
resigna ton of the French cabinet,
altho the British and Italians probably
will continue in Paris for organization
of the new conference. Premier Lloyd
George has been mentioned as presi-
dent of the next conference, but this
plan, it was understood, finds little
approval in French circles, the French
clinging to their right to the presi-
dency and to Paris. as the seat of the
conference.
