Newport Wants Motor Route. .
(The Newport News)
A motor route known as the
"Ethan Allen Trail" is being estab
lished from Burlington to Bretton
Woods in the White Mountains, via
Morrisvillg, Hardwick and St. Johns
bury. Now Barre and some other
Central Vermont places propose to
have a route through that section of
the state. Burlington to Bretton
Woods, via Eden, Newport and Wil-
lougftby lake oners a route unequaiea
for fine roads or beauty of lake and
mountain scenery. It is a few miles
further this way but the Ethan Allen
route or a route through Barre offers
nothing so charming as "a route
through the lake region of north
eastern Vermont, of which Newport
is the center.Newport should lead the
way in mapping and naming auto
mobile routes leading through this
city. The News would be glad to
receive suggestions for routes and
names of tours which would lead
through Newport.

organization which interests Barton.
Local Manager Underwood speaks
very optimistically of the-future of
the local factory and the fact that
Mr. Bartlett comes here to learn the
business and assist Mr. Underwood
indicates more business.
The article follows:

"While a clerk in the store of Edes

"Mr. Bartlett starts in at Barton

familiar with the business there

week where he found tenements very
scarce and he thinks it probable that
his family will remain here during
