The friends of T. A. McKinnon, in
this village, are watching with inter-
est his rise as a railroad man. The
papers intimate that he will soon be
manager of the B. & M. to succeed J.
w. Sanborn. McKinnon came here
boy in 1868, began as shop clerk and
worked up from that point by faith
full and efficient performance of duty.
He went from here to the South
Eastern as manager. Since 1890 he
has been manager of the Boston &
Lowell. He is one of the growing
railroad men of New England and his
friends in New England, and his
| friends in Lyndon who know his worth
are glad to see it recognized.-U'ai
One of the most important changes
in New England train service for
many years went into effect on the
Boston and Maine, and it's branches,
Jan. %. In every direction trains
have been discontinued, that did not
pay, with an estimated daily saving
in service alone of $1,000. In many
cases engineers have been returned
to firing, with the subsequent dis
charge of firemen. Spare conductors
are at their old positions of baggage
masters and the latter are again brak-
ing. AS fast as the business and traffic
resume, they will be returned to their
old places. Other reductions for sake
of economy include the discharge of
spare freight handlers, and, generally
speaking, short time in car and repair
shops.
