feet of timber went humping down
the east branch Of the PaSsumpsic
with the first high water every
spling. The lumber enterprises
nov are necessarily more of the
hard wood variety, much of it
trucked down to Lyndonville and
shipped away to be made into We
necr. Several local people have
already begun to get busy with the
axe and cant-hook. Charles Zero
is already beginning to roll up the
logs. but was not too busy to come
out for the Bureau meeting Friday.
East Haven is located between
good neighbors and can choose its
friends and business associates.
Essex county has only one banking
institution, the national at Island
Pond, Of which State Senator Lu-
thel A. Cobb is the energetic pres
iGont, The upper tier Of towns in
the county can be well accomo-
dated here and at Newport and
Barton, and those on the southern
row patronize Lyndonville and St.
Johnsbury, while many along the
Connecticut probably find it con-
Veniont to cross the river and in
vest their savings and profits in
the banking institutions Of Coos
county, New Hampshire,
East Haven is not far from
Guildhall, its county seat, as the
bee or the crow flies, but unfortu-
nately flying is not yet a matter Of
general practice here, and as the
straight line trail over the noun
tain is not yet easy for car or team
the next best thing is to go up
around by Island Pond, or down
around by St. Johnsbury, a VERT
able Sabbath-Day's journey This
is probably why very few East
Haven cases appear on the docket
Of Essex county court, so it has It's
advantages. 1t may be rural, but
it is also law-abidinG and thrifty,
for Essex county was the only
county in Vermont where no COM
mercial failure were reported last
year.
The large wooded areas make
East Haven, as we'll rs the whole
county, an ideal hunting ground.
The inviting trout streams in sum
mer and the deer population in
winter make Essex county d veri-
table sportsman's happy hunting
ground. The deer season Just clos
ed has been the poorest in many
years. This was due, however, TO
weather conditions, and not be-
cause there were no deer. In fact,
everyone in a position to know
says game was never more in
evidence, also hunters, but sue
ccssful reports were few. Charles
Gero made the statement Friday
that there are more deer today in
Essex county, and possibly with
in five mile radius from East
Haven, than there are dairy cows
in the same territory. According
to the last ceusus, there were 1887
dairy cows in Essex county.
William Campion, republican, is
to represent East Haven in the
coming legislature. He will be
entitled to a mileage allowance
of 81 miles. Walter NJ HOsford,
who represented the town of New
ark in the last legislature, was
present at Fridays meeting He
has some up-to-date ideas about
the improvement Of Vermont roads
a9d has Just built a new road
plane, and applied to have it pat
ented, to do away with the trouble
some "washbOard" conditions on
the highways. Road Commits
sioner Russell tried it out on
strip of road between Lyndonvile
and ST. Johnsbury, and it worked
so well, that its name might be
changed from "washboard"
plane to highway Aatiron."
