Logging village gets historical marker CARROLL, N.H A New Hampshire Historical Highway marker has been installed on Route 302 in Carroll to commemorate the 19th-century logging village of Zealand. The marker also honors Zealand's founder, James Everell Henry.

It says the village grew in 1875 to serve the logging industry and that Henry owned 10,000 acres in the heart of the White Mountains, with a 10-mile railroad to move logs from forest to sawmill. The village had a post office, school, store, housing and charcoal kilns "to eke out every bit of forest value," the marker says. The logging season employed anywhere from 80 to 250 to energize their base and mobilize for a get-out-the-vote effort amid projections of a light turnout. Markey, a member of Congress since 1976 and Gomez, a former Navy SEAL and political newcomer, are vying for the seat formerly held by John Kerry, who resigned from the Senate earlier this year to become U.S. Secretary of State.

Markey capped a day of campaigning on Saturday with a rally on the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth campus with Vice President Joe Biden, who was the latest in a string of Democratic heavy-hitters who have made campaign visits in recent weeks, following President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton. Speaking to several hundred Markey backers, Biden repeatedly said Republicans in Washington "don't get it," and mocked Gomez's claim that he would represent a new kind of Republican. "This is not your father's Republican party. This is not even Mitt Romney's Republican party," said Biden. "This is a different breed of cat.

They think compromise is a dirty word. These guys aren't just conservative, they are anti-government." Gomez had more than two dozen campaign stops planned over the next three days in what he has dubbed his "people over politics" tour. He began his day by running in a road race in Newton and planned more stops Saturday, hoping to sway independent voters his way. He acknowledged his underdog status but said his field effort for Tuesday's election was in "phenomenal shape."
