THINGS MOVING ON THE GRAM
TRUNK.


TRUNK.
On his return from the West Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson, president of the
Grand Trunk System, talked pleasantly
concerning his inspection of the Grand
Trunk System, and his trip to the
Pacific coast. Everywhere I have been
l shaye noted with pleasure that the
Grand Trunk outlook Is Frightening. OF
course, business depends on many ex-
traneous circumstances, which no rail-
way management can control, but I
think l can safely say that since Mr..
Hays took charge of affairs the receipts
of the company have been on the in
crease. Things wanted stirring up a
The new General Manager has given a
great deal of attention to the thorough
organization of the system, and his
efforts have been very successful, for the
organization is now almost perfect. I
feel sure that this will bear fruit in the
near future when conditions become
more settled. Of course, the political ex-
citment both in this country and the
United States has caused 1. certain stag
nation, but when things resume their
normal conditions think we may look
for better times in railway circles.
AS you are aware, / have not only
been over our own lines, but have tray
elled through to the Pacific coast by the
Canadian Pacific railway, and returned
by way of the Great Northern and Michi-
gan Central. One circumstance has i'm
pressed ME considerably, and that is the
number of old Grand Trunk men whom
have met on other lines. This was es-
pecially noticeable on the @. P. R. I
found assistant superb ntendents, agents,
conductors and brakemen, who had
learned their railroading ON the Grand
Trunk. 1t seems as though the old line
has been regular training school for
railway men. Certainly those who nave
graduated from it do it credit, for they
are among the s,nartest men employed
by other companies"
'There have been rumors concerning
the appointment OF masters of transpor.
tation, and other changes to be mads in
the near future; can you tell me if they
are true, Sir Riyers?"
"Well," guardedly, II think very like
ly they are true. You see, if Mr.. Hays
is to do good work. he must be allowed
to choose his own instruments. We are
expecting certain results from his man
agement, and it would never do for us to
tie his hands.

wharf at Great Diamond, ran on TO a

Some of the cottagers are having their
annual difficulty with their water sup
ply. The cottages are now supplied with
water from tanks which are supposed
TO be filed every day from the main

george G.. SAKE, managing partner of
the firm Of Estey d SAKE, New York city,
died very suddenly at Madison, N. j., last
Tuesday morning while on his way to the
station to take the train for New York.
Mr.. SAKE has been in failing health for a
number of years, and has at times suffered
from severe pain in the head, and although
generally able to attend TO business, has
been forced at times to absent himself on
account of his health. Last spring he spent
some weeks in Dakota visiting his son,
and returned very much improved In health.
With the exception of E. NJ. Bruce, the
well-knOwn representative and partner In
Philadelphia, Mr.. SAKE was the oldest rep
resentative of the Estey organs, his rela-
tions with the concern extending over
nearly 40 years.
In his early manhood he entered the min
istry of the Methodist church. His pastor
ates 1.-THE closing one in Troy, N. W were
attended with marked success, but on &C
count of throat trouble he was obliged TO
rellnquish his chosen work, and at about
that time he began the sale of Estey melo-
deems in a third-story wareroom in New
York city. Afterward he took j. II. Rob-
ertson as a partner, and this partnership
continued until few years ago when Mr.
Robertson retired and the Estey Organ
company assumed his interest in the bust.
ness. For the last few years Mr.. Saxe's
home has been in Madison, N. J and tn,
atmosphere of that college town has beer
particularly congenial to a man of his cult
ure and tastes.
Mr.. SAKE was native of Highgate
Franklin county, this state. For many
years his brother (who for a short time wa.
consul at st. Johns, Quebec,) lived in AL
burgh. Mr.. Saxe's wife aid two sons
George and Herbert, survive him. Mr.
SAKE was a cousin of the late John G
SAKE, Vermont's most noted poet.
In respect to the memory of Mr.. SAKE
the Estey organ factories will be CLOSED
