The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-02

This interference with the days
sport so enraged the fisherman that
he took his gun and shot his favorite
dog Gunner" as the faithful animal
was plunging about in the pool, yelp-
ing with pleasure over the cooling ef-
fects Of the water. So came the name
of Gunner's brook, or Gunner brook,
whichever way you wish.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-02

One of the people of those days
would have been tremendously shocked
had he been permitted to enter one
of the modern granite plants on the
banks of the two main streams of
Barre and seen and heard the various
instruments and implements plying
their noisy and skillful way through
Barre granite. But times have changed
in machinery since those days, just as
Stevens branch, Jail branch and Gun
ner brook have changed in many par
ticulars. although their names cling
with everlasting pertinacity.
Possibly someone will favor us with
q story about the naming of the lit
tie Potash brook, which rises on the
east hill and plunges its noisy way
into the city level and empties into
Stevens branch after a subterrsnean
trip most of the distance from the
foot of Elm street hill to a point OPP
posite Burnham's meadow.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-02

Many people may have thought that
Jail branch got its name from the To-
cation of Barre's old-time Jail on the
bank of the main stream formed by
the confluence of these two streams
the lookup being in the damp and
rat infested cellar of the old fire sta
ton on the east bank Of the river
near the Prospect street bridge, the
old course of the stream turning sharp
ly and running easterly back of the
buildings on the west side of Main
street. But this theory of the source
of the name was false.
Jail branch really got it's name, it is
believed, from the fact that the town
of Washington, where the stream rises,
once had its jail located near the
source of the stream. Few people real
lied that the town of Washington ever
needed a Jail, but il seems that a cal
laboose was once one of the features
of the town on the hank of the am
bilious stream, and from il came the
name of Jail branch.
Starting on the other side OF the
hills from Washingtonsand in the town
Of Williamstown, lies the other stream
already mentioned-Stevens branch, a
stream which trout fishermen have
been wont to follow and as they still
do in quest of the willy beauties. The
watershed OF the Stevens branch is
Just south of Williamstown village, at
the height of the land just before the
main road begins TO dip into VIII
Jamestown gulf. Immediately south Of
the Stevens branch watershed is the
starting point of another stream which
flows southwark into a little pond.
Stevens Branch was named from an
early settler by the name Of Stevens,
whose body was found on the bank of
the stream at point said to have
been near the confluence of the Wi
nooski river near Benjamin Falls One |
report has IL that the body of Stevens |
was found in his camp, he having died |
of disease; and another has il that on !
a June morning when the eastern sky 4
was a brilliant red Stevens started |
out. clad in thin clothing and wearing |
straw hat, to go hunting and that |
a violent snow storm developed, catch
ing the hunter and binding him, pre-
sumably, so that he died of exposure,
his body being found the next day on
the bank of the stream.
Whatever NAV have been the exact
version of the. occurrence, IL seems to
be settled beyond peradventure that

Coming from the eastward, as al
ready stated, Jail branch rises in the
town of Washington in Orange county
flowing in a northwesterly direction
through part of the town of Orange
through East Barre and thence Ia
Barre, where it forms junction with
the Stevens branch back of the George
Straiton granite plant on South Main
street.

HERE AND THERE
ABOUT BARRE

just now when the steps are being
taken to bridge Jail branch with a
splendid granite structure, the stran-
ger is likely to wonder how such an odd
name should become attached to a
peaceful stream like the one which
comes into the city from the south
easterly direction, And, perhaps, there
are many residents of Barre who are
not acquainted with the lore connected
with the nomenclature of the streams
running into and through Barre. So
little consideration of the matter
might not be out of place.

ION Feb. "a, 1920, this system was
sufficiently completed to comply Wits
the law That is, a system had been APP
proved on that day by the commission
which reached every county seat in the
State: This system was presented TO the
Governor by the director of the high
way commission for his approval. On.
March 81 the commission and the Cover
nor met for a conferencecn the road sys-
TEN. Some few changes were made and
the same again presented for his APP
proval. On April 1 this system, with the
exception Of the road reaching Vevay
and Madison, was approved by the Gov
ernor.
THE total mileage of the system, as
approved at this time, is about 1920
miles This mileage is about 3 per cent
of the entire road system of the State
and should, in our opinion, be increased
so as to include practically 10 per cent
of the entire road system Of the State.
With the system increased to this ex
tent, practically all of the main highways
of the State would be included as a part
of the State system.
This, am sure, would be more eco
nomical and give greater satisfaction 10
the people of the State and would en-
able the maintenance department to conf
centrate their forces and give closer su-
pervision and inspection of the main

(By Thomson & McKinnon.)


Wheat-A fair amount Of export bust
ness has been reported in wheat. Be-
yond a demand from this source. there
has been very little interest in the mar
ket. Offerings by the country are small
and receipts are falling off. 1t is to be
noted that the largest receipts are in
the southwestern markets, probably for
movement to the gulf for final shipment
abroad. Frequent reference is made to
the present price of wheat, as far above
a pre-war level, although feed grains APP
proximate a normal level. ApropOs Of
this. there was news item from Vienna
saying that potatoes were selling ut 100
times their pre-war figures. The idea
gathered from this is that European needs
are so urgent that the prices viii not
decrease the demand. We do not ex-
pect any important market action so
long as the present uneasiness over bust
ness conditions prevails.
Coru-There is no improvement In the
distributing demand for corn. At the
same time, current receipts are being
taken by industries and elevators, proba-
bly, for completion OF December contracts
Country offerings are at minimum.
This market Is not likely to uncover any
pronounced action either way until con
ditiOns more radical than those now exist
ing become apparent.
Oats--No interest whatever displayed In
oats. Values should reflect the action
Of corn.
