These rainless days arc filled
with activity at the Caledonia
county fair grounds and quite a
number of visitors go inside the
tall fence every day to see what

depart satisfied to have been in

The major proportion of the Wis

STEEL BRIDGE

TO BE REBUILT
Was Badly Wrecked in the
High Water Early Last
Spring

At recent special town meet
ing in Haverhill It was voted to re-
build the Ranger Bridge" the
comparatively new Interstate
structure between Wells River and
oodsville, which was badly
wrecked in the high water last
spring. The bridge was originally
built as a joint proDOsition be-
tween the two towns, Haverhill
New Hampshire, and Newbury
Vermont on the basis of tax valua-
ton.
This time the selectmen of New
bury feel that the cost of building
the upkeep and any liabilities fol-
accident should be shared on the
basis of taxable valuation of the
two towns which at present is
about G2 percent for Haverhill
and SO percent for Ncwbury.
At several times since the bridge
was destroyed, J. A. Petite. con-
sulting engineer employed by the
selectmen of Newburv and Haver-
hill, has been called to investigate
the cause of the wreck. He said
that he thought the most practical
and cheapest method of building
would be a one span, arch sup

Charles j. Cote of Fitchburg,
Mass, was given and found guilty
of the charge on which he was ar
rested at Derby Line July 5th,
that Of driving car while under
the influence of Intoxicating liquor.
The case was prosecuted by States
Attorney, Albert w. Farman and
Cote was represented by Hubert
S. Pierce.
The twelve jurors were ] IT.

Lawson, Harley Hoag, o. d. Han
cock, C. J. Harrison. The jurors
with Judge Spear designated as
foreman, had to spend consider
able time in arriving at an agree
ment. The case began at nine and
lasted until six. The jurors were
accorded a rare privilege on this
case, they were allowed to smell
the contents of bottle which was
taken from the prisoner and all
agreed that it had a familiar, but
almost FORGOTTEN odor.
Cote's story in substance was
that he left Fitchburg with a ~artv
July 1st that he motored through
New York state to Rousc's Point.
His destination was Sherbrooke
but through a mistake at Farnham
he drove by way Of Newport arriv-
ing at Sherbrooke he visited his
sister for an hour or more, bought
a bottle of LIQUOR for sick friend
and started home. At Derby Line
he reported to the U. S. Customs
office, and DECLARED he had moth
ing in his car. He said he took the
precaution to dr@w the cork of the
bottle, before entering the states,
thinking if the seal was broken it
would be safer if found. The bot
tie he concealed, but it was found
on his person and removed. He was
about to depart but changed his
mind come back and kicked over
the bottle. This began the argu-
ment which resulted in his striking
officer Locklin and his subsequent
Arrest by officers Rice and Lock
lin. He stated he had not tasted
that or any other liquor on the
trip, but the account of his actions
did not convince the jury of the
veracity of his statement.
Cote is a stationary firemen fol
a large Paper Mill company and
has lived in Fitchburg 25 years.
He had as witnesses in his defense
men who were confined in the
same compartment with him in jail
Max DoWner, j. Anger, Joseph
Roberge and two others who test
flied that he had not been drinking,
witnesses for the state were, Off

SANFORD NIPS
NEWPORTERS in
ELEVENTH &c
VanOtti Catches Strong
Contest for Border
City Team

1t was a thrilling contest in
which the Maine champions from
Sanford topped Newport by one
run and brought about the sad
ending 7 to 6. Altogether it was
one of those when-Greek-meets-
Greek affairs. With the game
fight that Newport put up it was
heart-breaking to see that final
run come in Tor Sanford after II
innings of breathless suspense.
Neck to neck the two teams
raced for eleven inningc. The
game was characterized by fire.
quent hitting, clean fielding and
general oddities. Seldom does one
witness a game of eleven innings
with but one recorded error.
Browne, with the setting sun shin
ing directly in his eyes, dropped
one fly from Rowe's bat in the ia
tai eleventh. With this exception
the eleven hard fought innings
were elrorless on both sides.
Brainy Bower tried to get in
front of a hot grounder, but the
decided hop of the ball made it
impossible for him to field it and
what might have looked like an
error to some could not justly
have been called one.
Eastburn started the game on
the slab for Newport. In the sew
enth Hastings was put in, Poll
was shifted from left to center
field and Easty was stationed in
left field; Houston was sent in to
pitch for Sanford after Brisk had
walked Kopf in the fifth. Both
Eastburn and Hastings showed
better control than their oppon-
ents. Five gifts by each of San
ford's Stag artists tells its own
little story. They loved particu-
larly well to play Santa Claus for
Vanotti, making a gift of first
base to him the first three times
he came up to bat.
Right now seems a pretty good
time to call attention to the way
Vanotti makes a business OF

NEW TELEPHONE
HEARING Is SET
FOR AUGUST 9
CaledOnian-RecOrd Petit
ion to Be Heard On
This Date

The Vermont Public Service
Commission has granted a hearing
on the Caledonian-Record petition
protesting against an increase of
telephone rates, to be held at the
Armory in st. Johnsbury on
Wednesday, August 8. This is
a hearing in response to the in
divldual petition of the Caledoni-
an-Record and of the 700 individ-
uals who signed petitions as pub
lished in this newspaper.
Recently hearing was set for
another petition which it was dis
covered by the Public Service
Commission did not have suffi-
cient number of signers to make
it legal. The commission did not
care to proceed with this hearing
after it was discovered that the
hearing, if held, would not be
strictly legal.
The hearing will open in the
Armory at 9 A. M. and record
crowd should be in attendance.
Delegations from surrounding
towns should attend with a com
petent spokesman to represent
their community. If the telephone
users want their old rate of five
free calls month restored now
is the time to speak out to the
legally constituted authority for
fixing telephone rates. The com
pany has gone ahead and jammed
the rates down the throats of the
telephone users. If the telephone
users believe the rate is justified
they can swallow the pill and
make themselves believe they like
it, If they don't want to take
the medicine the Public Service
Commission IS their only medium
for action. Let's all plan to at
tend the hearing.
