Rio Increase

The business Of the Western Weighing
and Inspecting bureau, of Denver, has
grown to enormous proportions of late.
During the last month the local association
has weighed about ten thousand cars, and
this is regarded as the dull season. The
weighing is done to see how the contents
tally with the bill of lading. But where
the bureau gets in its work is in the
inspection of freight A shipper may
send out car supposed to be Kansas hay,
but an examination reveals the fact that it
is alfalfa and there is quite difference in
the freight on the two. About one-fourth
of the freight is billed under the wrong
classification, in order to secure lower
class of rates. For instance, a hardware
firm will receive twenty cases of hardware
securely boxed up, but when opened it will
be found to be cutlery. There is won
derful difference in freight on the two and
the consignee has to put up the full amount
before he can get his goods. The inspec-
ton bureau of Denver earns thousands Of
dollars for the railroads every month.

brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.


The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
paid twenty-six death and disability claims
In the month of June amounting to S26, 900,
leaving in the treasury of the beneficiary
fund $4,l3S. The grand secretary and
treasurer Of the brotherhood gives notice
August of thirty claims accruing during
the month of July, of which twenty four
were for death, caused in most cases by &C
cidents while handling cars or trains, and
six for disability, consisting of hands or
feet cut off or crushed while coupling cars
or otherwise employed in their duties. The
brotherhood is doing, as it has long done, a
noble work in caring fer its members and
families in time of misfortune but it should
not have to bear the burden alone. Every
railway company should assist in this phil
anthropic work, as probably nearly all if
not all the companies are willing to
do, and the expenses of these
ministrations ought to be made as
small as possible by cooperation between
the employers and the employed, which
will lend rather toward combining differ
ent relief organizations into one than in
multiplying them and thus necessarily in
creasing the cost of their machinery. There
Is, unfortunately, also an element of uncer-
tainty about voluntary assessment associa-
tions which has sometimes proved disas-
trous. But the hope of a man engaged in
the hazardous work of handling trains that
in case of being disabled he will on.inue
to receive means of support and in case of
death his family will be provided for,
ought not to rest on any contingency
Where the resources and the good faith OF
the employing company are joined with
those of the employees in providing insur-
ance, the safety of the investment, as a
business matter, is certainly greater than
where it depends on the plan Of assessment
upon continually changing membership.

passage Of current through the driving
wheels increases the traction far beyond
what additional weight accomplishes.

Tickets to Influence Trade.

There is good deal OF kicking among
the iobbers, says Chicago paper, about
the way in which certain railroads are dis
tributing tickets to influence freight. In
the old days, before the interstate COM
merce law was passed, the railroads used to
furnish the large iobbers with passes fer
their country customers to use in coming
to Chicago to buy goods. Now the railroads
furnish the jobbers with regular tickets,
such as are sold to the travelling public,
and only the railroad or the iobber can tell
whether they were paid for or not. Some
of the houses claim that the big firms re-
ceive too many favors, and one road was
recently compelled to give house $50 tick
cts TO keep It quiet and retain its freight.

woo us BLAmEABLE.

E W.G,bIrn of Londonderry, writing
to the Herald recently, says:
"In speaking of Vermopt's abandoned
farms there is natural tinge of dishouor
to our state conveyed to the reader who
Toes not understand the true situation
Of affairs. But as yet, it seems to me,
here has been no plausible reason for
hese abandonment advanced. Several
deas have been placed before the public
but they all lack the proof.
For instance, it has been claimed
that. as our young men forsake our farms
and seek more lucrative employment in
The large towns. they become abandon
ed. Now, Mr.. Editor, do not think it
iult to lay all the blame to our young
men, for l believe tn ir elders are enti-
tied to share, at least.
"If they would invest the capital that
they are daily sending to the West and
South in such way as to build up the
villages that have remained stationary
for half a century there would be no
abandoned farms. Already our farmers
are seeing the the folly of Western farm
mortgages, and are repenting in sack
cloth and ashes.'
by building up these villages, the
farmer would secure home market,
and thereby his produce, which is some
times valueless would find ready mar
ket Besides, there are rich mineral de-
posits that could be worked by capital; (;
there are valuable water powers that
could be easily utilized and manufacto-
ries started. But if our people persist
IN doing as they have done. in sending
their money aWay there will be aban-
doned farms, for no one can blame the
young man for going where there is
money and prosperity. The farmers of
Vermont must not lay the entire cause
Of these hard times at the door of the
government, for they themselves are to
blame in part.n

THE ICE BROKEN,

We have the best authority for max
ing the announcement that an actual
sale Of large tract of land has been
made in Northern Vermont to private
company composed of Scandinavians,
and that eight families have already se-
cured portions of this tract for homes;
rhs manager Of the company, himself u
Swede, being among the number. Ne
gotiations have tor some time been going
on looking to the colonization of fam les
in southern Vermont. but this. il we
mistake not, is the first actual transfer
If land to Scandinavians that has taken
place since this agitation was begun.
The transaction has every appearance OF
being of the most substantial character,
and it is expected that The eight families
mentioned will form the nucleus of a
large and prosperous colony; 1t is un-
necessary to add that this movement IL
one of the good results arising from the
establishment Of the State Bureau OF
immigration. .. ...
II is a matter OF regret that some
prejudice exists in the state regarding
Ihe settlement of our Abandoned
farms by these ''f 'reigners," more 30 a.

to increase this prejudice. We firmly
believe, however. that as more ia known

ing their homes in Vermont, this preju.

Of some of the New Englanders who
