.12 THE fttBONGTON FRER PRESS, THURSDAY. APRIL 9,1890. pi' AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY LIKELY TO BE LOCATED AT THE dflEAT FALLS AT MILTON. Aotlon nt Ttteiriny'a Town Heetinf' tha Only Thine Now I.ncklnit With Thai Obtnlned 1'lllp and Paper Mill Will be Ereotod. Milton, April G.-If the peoplo of Milton at tllMr town meeting to bo held next Tuesday, vole to grade a roadbed ready .for the laying of rnllroad rallH nnd ties from tlio Central Vermont triickn to tho Great Falls, a distance of not moro than a mile, then the Inst step necessary for tho usher ing In of that era of activity and prosper ity, for which tho citizens have so long been hoping, would seem to have been ta ken. Nature has been lavish In her gifts to this locality. The Lamoille river which Hows through tho town, dividing It Into nearly equal parts, has within adlstancoof four miles no fewer than six water fulls. To the lover of tho beautiful this arfords scenery which In grandeur and pictures fineness Is rarely surpnsfcil, and which Is fully etiunl to many moru famous places which tourists travel long distances to sec. The visitor of a more practical turn of mind sees a tromendous energy, which Is not utilized, and which Is fully capable of turning an almost unlimited number of "the wheels of Industry." Within a dlstanco of four miles oro the I'pper Kails, the Great Falls, the Miner Falls, the llol gate Falls, tho Manley Falls, and the Lowor, or Woods Falls. In this dlstanco Is probably a fall of from 2D0 to S00 fcot. Tho most noted of theso Is tho Great Falls which gives a direct fall of DO feet. Child's Chittenden County Directory Is authority for tho statement thnt hero In a distance of 30 rods, tho river falls 130 fcot. It Is doubtful If there Is a finer water power In tho State, and It Is no exaggera tion to say that It ranks easily as ono of the finest In all New Knglnnd. Fairfax Falls, farther tip on this samo stream, Is ono of the most valuable water powers In Vermont, but between that point and Milton tho Lamoille receives ns a tribu tary the Drown river, thus adding a con sldcrablo volume of water, Tho Lamulllo has this marked advantage over many rivers the Connecticut Included, that It U fed to a considerable extent by springs, and therefore Is not so seriously aftectrd by tho summer droughts. This river Is said to suffer less from this cause than any other stream In Vermont. Although theso splendid water privi leges have never been utilized to any great oxten.t, yet there havo been .times when there havo been moro Industries In Milton than there are to-day. Joseph Clark, who was later associated with ex-Gov. John Greg-ory Smith In the management of the Central Vermont railroad, at ono tlmt owned all this water power with tho ex ception of ono side of tho river nbovo the Great Falls. A representative of the Freo Press In conversation with Mr. Nelson M. Nny, a long time resident, obtained many Interesting historical fncts. Many years )S00, tho money tying subscribed by tho citizens of the village or Milton, thus ensuring the' company against any pos sible contingency. The only condition now remaining Is thnt the town grndo a roadbed from tho lower switch of tho Central Vermont track nt Milton to tho Great Falls, a dlstanco of ono mile, If tho line surveyed Is fol lowed. It Is thought a cut of about one third of a mllo will bo necessary, which, at Its deepest will bo approximately, 13 feet. This matter Is to bo voted on at Tuesday's special town meeting. If thft town accepts theso conditions, tho Central Vermont rallror.d will lay tho rails and ties. At the end of this trr.ek an eleva tor will bo erected for raising and lower ing freight from tho mills. If tho conditions of tho company are accepted a pulp mill and a piper mill, the latter a duplicate of tho Fort Edward mill, will bo erected. The dimensions of tho former will bo GO or 33 by 230 feet! thoso of the latter, 130 by 230 feet. The proposed pulp mill will employ 60 men and the paper mill 200 men. It Is said thnt tho output will be 30 tons of paper dally. Tho pulp will bo manufactured from spruce logs, nomo of tho pulp being brought from other mils. Considerable) time Is necessary for obtaining machinery for the manufacture of paper, probably a year after tho orders are given. It Is hardly necessary to sny that this means much for Milton In every wny. The location on the direct lino of tho railroad from Montreal to Boston and New York Is faVorablo for Industrial development. If this project Is cnrrled out, and Milton becomes, what nnturo evidently Intended her to be, a manufacturing town, not only tho residents of the village, but the farm ers of that vicinity will be benefited. A market will bo furnished for the produce of orchnrds and gardens nnd the value of farms will bo enhanced, as they always r.ro In tho vicinity ot manufacturing towns nnd cities. Hut there arc still greater possibilities If a start Is onco made. Other parties hnvo already considered tho development of tho water powers farther down tho river. If water Is used over and over again ns It Is from er.unls at Lowell, Lawrence and other places, why arc not the ndvnntr.ireM quite as great here with n natural fall? Neither Is It by nny mor.ns Imposilblo to dredge tho mouth of tho Lamoille, ns the government so often does under Its system of Hvcr nnd harbor Improvement, and provide wnter transportation through Lnku Chnmplaln, tho Chnmplaln canal nnd the Hudson river, directly to New York. All these Ideas nro by no rner.nx Idle dreams or castles In the air, but matters which are entirely possible. Milton Is certainly to bo congratulated upon her natural pos sessions, her bright prospects nnd for her almost unlimited possibilities of future In dustrial development. THE APRIL SKIES.

Mr. Webster left In the win ter of 1839-1840 and the property passed Into the possession of tho ostate of Hiram Clark and was operated by n Mr. Whit ney, a nephew of Clnrk's. After a time Mr. Whitney removed his Industry further up tho stream to tho Miner Fnlls, as Jo reph Clark had moved his saw mill to this placo some time before. A saw mill was also located at tho Holgatc Falls at ono time. There were, many years ngo, on tho west side of tho river, at the Miner Falls, an Iron forgo and a smnll woollen mill; and on tho cast side, a saw mill, a grist mill nnd n plaster mill. After Jo seph Clark had removed still farther up tho stream, and had. In 1843, erected at the Upper Falls, now Milton village his saw mill and grist mill. Mr. Whitney, ns has been stated, established his woollen busi ness at tho Miner Falls. The mill was a small ono, with ono set of machinery, nnd employed about 12 hands. This was oper ated two or three years. It Is related that In 1830 a grist mill and a trip hnmmer shop, at the upper Falls, lus, of tho Lion, close to Saturn, a little south of the zenith; Splca, of the Virgin, In tho southwest; Arcturus, of tho Cow herd, In the cast, and Vega, the most con spicuous luminary of the star group of the Lyre, In the northwest. Splca, Arctu rus, and Vega are coming Into a moro fav-. orable position for observation, whllo Aldebnran, Hetolgcuze, Illgel nnd Slrlus will vanish from tho ovcnlng sky of April nnd not nppcar until tho closing weeks of the autumn. Tho last quarter of the March moon oc curs on tho 4th, there Is now moon on the 12th, llrst quarter on tho 20th and full moon on the 2Sth. The conjunctions be tween moon and planets begin on tho 8th, when Mars and Luna give us a very pretty plcturo In th.o enrly morning hours, which unfortunate' time will probably prevent many of us from seeing It. Three days later Venus and tho moon havo a meeting, followed by Mercury nnd tho almost faded crescent of tho moon, being at their closest for tho month. On the 17th Neptune has tho same right nscenslon with the moon, but the moro than the sixty degrees of declination between tho two effectually prevents our hnvlng a pretty tableau. On the 20th Jupiter and tho quartering moon are within two degrees of ono anomer, were swept away by tho great freshet of wl,0 on tno oSt), Saturn and Uranus fol- tnai year. The paper Industry Is not a new one nt Mllfon, although It was never manu factured on a large scale. A paper mill, owned by tho llrm of Hunting & Welling ton, a llttlo distance below the point where tho Iron bridge now crosses the river, manufactured writing paper, wrap ping paper and the grade used for news paper purposes. This mill was burned about 1830, but was immediately re-bullt and was operated by Wellington until he failed In business, when It was purchased and. operated by Chauncey Goodrich, a Burlington printer. Later Lyman Bur gess and Daniel I. Squires purchased tho property and operated It until the night after certa(n repnlrs had been completed, It was Acaln burned. Tho dally product of this mill hr.d been from a half of a ton to a ton of wrapping paper, blue tobacco paper, nnd wall pnper, On the west sldo of the river, just to the left of the bridge, and a llttlo nbovo the site of the paper mills, a small woollen mill was erected by Ward & Woodruff In 1841. At the right of the bridge n cabinet and wheelwright shop was erected many years ago by Deacon Jalrus Mears and Nathan Burnell. This was sold to Isr.ac Blake who rented It to Alphonso Kllburn for a small -woollen mill. After Kllburn left. It was operated by 'A. A. Pearl until his death, about 1831. Then, for a time, It was operated by Mr. Whitney, who nlso operated the Ward & Woodruff mill. This building was inter used for a sash, door anu uiinq tnctc.ry arid was finally torn down, as It had become unsafe anil It wn feared that In high water It might be carried off r.nd endanger tho bridge. Of the various mills mentioned tho only ones now operated, or. In fact, standlnir. are tho saw mill and grist mill, erected by joicpn jiam in jhs. Tno grist mill la now leased by H. L Powell and tho saw mill by W. F. Pormelee, a part of which build ing is used by n m ns an excelsior mill. Tho water power at the Great Falls was purchased by A. II. Illtchle. a New York sngrayer, Oct. 6, 1885. Tho following spring aetlvo' operations were commenced, con tinuing through the seasons of IBM nnd 1SS7, some work being done In 1SXS.

One of the strongest dams that cpuiu po DUiit was constructed, tho width being 100 feet, or at high water, 125 feet, A large number of men were employed, nnu h is nam home jw.uuu was expended Mero Mr. Ultchle proposed to erect pulp mills but for somo unexplained reason he never' built. Various firms talked of purchasing the property, but nothing camo or It.

The matter has now been taken up In earnest by Mr, 13. W. Itlchardson of Pittsburgh, N. Y,, managing partner of tho New York and Pennsylvania Pulp arid I'uper company, a civil engineer of wide experience, and the ultchle property pur cnased.

Mercury Is In superior conjunction with the sun on tho 17th at midnight, and pass ing, to tho eastward becomes an evening star, In which category it will remain until early In Juno, when It Is In interior con junction, nnd onco more Joins the morning group. Tno planet is now so ciose to me sun that wo cannot see Its disk, and, In fact. It Is only when It Is nt Its furthest end of Its swing-about tho sun that wo aro permitted to see It. To Jupiter belongs me pinco oi most in terest to us. as on the 10th tho king of planets reaches tho quarter post on his course about tho heavens, Ho will con tlnuo his Journey toward tho sun. getting less nnd less distinct, until Aug. 12, when ho Is In conjunction with tho sun, nnu changes from an evening to a morning star, In which gathering ho will bo found for the remulnlng months or tno year. Jupiter, as we havo frequently said, Is tho greatest of tho planets In fact, ho Is greater than nil the other planets rolled Into one. The relative Inslunlflcanco of the earth when compared with Jupiter Is well Illustrated by tho fact that If wo took 1200 globes each as big ns our earth, and made them Into a single globe, It would only .bp as' large as tho greatest of tho planets. As we look at Jupiter through a glass, we see a number of bands about his disk, which aro occasionally moro marked than at other times; In fact, sometimes they can hardly bo seen at all. Theso markings of tho great planet, at first somewhat' puzzling, nro merely masses of cloud, which surround and ob scure whatever may constitute his Inter ior. Mars remains a morning star, and Is up somo three hours ahead of tho sun, and Is gradually widening the dlMnnce, This eccentric plnnet Is much nearer us some times than-at others, and wo shall havo to wait until 1900 before wo can again havo It as near ns It was In 1852, when It was only 33,000,000 miles away. It Is our next door neighbor In relation to dlstanco from tho sun, nnd has been found by astronomers to bo by far tho most Interesting planet In our solar -system t study. Mars Is much smaller than tho earth, Its diameter being '4363 miles, and It Is much lighter than the earth, Tho planet makes a revo lution around the sun onio In 087 of our days, that betng tho length of tho Mars year. It turns on its axis in 21 hours 37 minutes.. Tho atmospheric conditions on Mars, so far as scientists havo been able to study them, are such as to lead to the belief that tho' planet Is inhabited, and somo extremists go so far as to declare that tho pcopjp aro highly civilized. Venus keeps moving toward the sun, and has now reached a point within an liour and' a half of him. This dlstanco will bo xcduced to zero oarly In July, when tho planet will bo In superior cop-junction,- and after that it will be an even ing star tho remainder of the year. Tho nlanet's diameter Is now slowly Increas lng In size, but In December wo shall find It half as large again as it is at present, when It will shlno as a beautiful object in the crisp, o ear air, Nontune Is one of the evening stars, and Is slowly lessening the distance separating Him 'from his point ot conjunction witn tne sun. It takes the planet until December to traverse the space between conjunction and oDDOstlon. at which latter time he will be' most" fivorabjy situated fqr observa tion. But It Is only those who -are for tunate enough to have a look 'through a. telescope' who can distinguish tne planet froni his surroundings.

The planet Is still n i fannrl la .tiui constellation of the Bull. tiut not very nelr any of the brightest which Col. Harndcn declined, nnd proceed ed south on tho trail of Mr. Davis. 1'rltchard afterward learned that there was another road In tho same direction, and, taking 120 of his best mounted men, stnrtcd to follow It. That night they nc cldently ran upon the camp of Mr. Davis party, which they surrounded and waited for daylight. , , , "As I sat by In tho morning," said Mr. Stedman, "some of our men went to tho tent-door, but were met by n woman who asked them to keep out, as thero were un dressed ladles within. Soon after she In quired If wo wo uld let her servants go after some water. Consent was given, when out camo a tall person with a lady water-proof overdress on nnd n small i.rnu.n .hnti'i fivw her head, a tin pall on tho right arm and a colored woman lean ing on tho left arm. rho tall person was stooping over as If lo appear shorter.

Jerked it open and said to him, 'come out of this, you old ilnvlll" "Davis, nt this uttacK, straightened up and showed anger. At the same tlmo ho put his hand to his back under his dress.

After many mouths of labor tho young engraver completed tho eslgn for the reverse side of the coin, up on which ho represented tho American :iglo. His attention was then turned to tho other side, nnd his fnnclful head rep resenting tho Ooddess of Liberty. But the ambitious designer was too much of u realist to bo satisfied with a more product of fancy.Flnally he determined the head hotlld be tho representation of somo Am rlcnn girl, and forthwith diligently seurched for his benutlful mnld. It was a long search, although pleasant. Ho told his friends of his desires, and one t them spoke ot the really clnsslc beauty of Miss Anna Williams. The Kngllsh do- Igner was introduced to the girl. Mr. Morgan was ntpnee Impressed by her beautiful face a'rid studied It carefully. Then ho told her what ho desired, nnd sho promptly refused to permit herself to bo tho subject ot tno design.

They hail refused to yield to Doctors' prescriptions or any med icine used, and they were many, until sho began with Dr. David Kennedy's Kavorltn Remedy, which I nm pleased to state cured her, and I trust our expcrlenco will bo tho means of helping others." Favorite Remedy Is tho superior of nil blood and nervo medicines. It cures rheu matism, neuralgia nnd nervous prostration. It Is n speclllc for scrofula, erysipelas, dys pepsia, nnd for the troubles peculiar to the female system. All druggists, 1 a bottle. "Dorset, Vt.
