For the first time since they came

leaving the valley for the summer
months. This has always been a pret-
ty good place, they say, and never be-
fore have they felt that vacation
trip was necessary. OF course, Bair

The ice company claims that the
present distance between the platform
and the cars is much too large and
that frequently serious accidents occur
which might be avoided by having a
smaller space. In the past there have
been many cases of the heavy cakes
of ice falling on the workmen or shov-

RECEIVER TAKES
OYER TRACTION co.
H. ]. volholm of Montpelier Appoint
ed BY Judge Wilson--Will Make
Report on Jan. 8.

H. j. VolhoIm Of Montpelier was
appointed receiver of the Barre &
Montpelier Traction & Power company
Thursday afternoon by Judge Stanley
G. Wilson. The Montpelier & Barre
Light & Power company, which owns
90 per cent of the stock in the trac-
ton company, objected to the appoint
ment of f. l.. Laird on the grounds
that he had expressed himself in a
public meeting as antagonistic to the
company. Other candidates who were
suggested were r. H. Tracy, H. j. Slay-
ton, Mr.. Perry in Barre and j. Ward
Carver; but finally Judge Wilson Sc
lected Mr.. Volholm, who is retired
merchant in Montpelier arid who is a
trustee of the Capital Savings Bank
& Trust company.
The action is brought by the West
inghouse company against the traction
company, Robert Stewart, III. ]. Slay-
ton and the Montpelier & Barre Light
ing & Power company. The order of
the court appointing Mr.. Volholm
turns all the property over to him and
he is to operate the road until fur
ther order Of the court, which will
be at least until Jan. 3, when the re-
ceiver makes a report to the court. He
is TO take an inventory during that
time, showing the worth of the com
pany, and recommend as to the future
conduct of the road, the advisability of
continuing its operation and to rec
ommend to the court any informa-
ton that may help it in making up
any further order in the matter tend
ing to closing up the affairs of the
company or toward rehabilitating the
road for further operation.
The bond is $4,000 and as soon as
that is filed he will take over the
management of the road. Presumably
about the same number of help will
be employed that are now engaged by
the company.

Lumber Required for Fruit Boxes.

The lumber required TO make boxes

crop of apples was sufficient in quanti-
ty to build 9,660 average country
houses, each sheltering family of
FIVE persons. is the estimate made by
the United States reclamation service
on the basis that five board feet Of
lumber is required for the average ap-
pie box. The inferior quality of box
lumber, however, generally prevents
its use for construction purposes. Dur
ing the season l9lS-l9 the largest but
not the only fruit shipping exchange
in California used nearly l5.OOO,0OO
wooden boxes for shipping oranges.
lemons and grape fruit. These boxes
required l35,OO0 600 feet of lumber
Other fruit shipping firms in the state
doubtless doubled this amount. The
enormous demand for lumber for box
shook is having the inevitable result
Of raising the cost per box. To insure
sufficient supply of box material and
20 keep the cost per box as low as
possible. the various cooperative fruit
associations Of California are buying
their own timber tracts. erecting their
own sawmills and planning to make
their own boxes. Not many months

more than = million dollars in the pur-
chase of 3000n acres Of timber land.
