H. r. Durant Waterbury, Conn:
My Dear ,SirJzPardon this intrusion
into your time, but your bill before the

I have taught in this state for four
teen years and have examined the eyes
of hundreds of pupils. Am doing it now
in school, as fast as time permits. do
it annually in March about and send
written word OF my findings to the par

pill to an ocullst. But right here, your
bill-when it becomes a law-comes@ to
my rescue I have parent in mind
now who refuses to get glasses for her

I trust your bill may become law

power. Most cordially yours,

SCOOP TROUGH USELESS.

The engines of the express trains on
the Consolidated railroad have been
compelled to stop at Rowayton for two
weeks to take water. There is long
trough between the rails of either track
at Noroton, and, ordinarily. even in
freezing weather, the water is taken
into the engine by means Of scoop I'M
der the tender that Is let down to the
trough, without stopping the train. In
moderately cold weather steam is inject
ed through the trough, which melts the
ice. The cold was so intense last week,
however. that this was found impracti-
cable, and this week the troughs have
been covered with snow.-Stamford Adj

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-10-15

Often one speaks of the old stage
coach days in Montana, and compares
the travel Of those times with the trav-
ell now, when railroads traverse the
state. Yet strange as it may seem
travellers could make better time be-
tween Virginia City and Helena, the
principal cities of the territory, in the
old stage coach days than they can
now. By the old fashioned travel by
stage coach, the traveller, having his
breakfast in Helena, would be landed
in Virginia City in time for his sup
per. That beats the present rate of
speed between these points, as those
will testify who journeyed from Hell
ena to Virginia City for the pioneers
convention last August. Now it takes
two full days for the trip.
The old stage coach between Viz
ginia City and Helena used to be orawn
by six horses, sometimes driven three
abreast Often, on a level stretch, a
high rate of speed was the record for
the outfit. The horses were kept go
ing at full speed; horseflesh was 10th

or breaking a record Frequent

the business done and the rates charg-

The first days business showed that
eight passengers were carried from
Virginia City to Helena al SIS per head.
There was one deadhead. One state
letter was carried for As cents, and
three state letters We're carried for
S105. Twenty-four Virginia City let
tiers were carried for % cents each.
There was quite a revenue from TIE
carrying of letters, the price charged
for the service varying somewhat in
accordance with the price Of oats and
of drinks along the way. Five dollars
was charged for conveying a trunk.
and 81 for a valise. The total receipts
from the first trip were $124.75.
