New Traffic Contract.
An important arrangement has been
made between the Grand Trunk and
Boston and Maine railroads. A traffic
contract has been agreed upon taking
effect June %, whereby the Boston and
Maine are to run their freight trains
over the II miles of track owned by the
Grand Trunk between Windsor and
the Passumpsic road, Boston and
Maine leased line. In return the Grand
Trunk are to run their through New
London boat freights over the Boston
and Maine iron from Brattleboro to
Windsor. This move will effect con-
siderable reduction in the operating ex-
penses of both roads. The transfer sta
ton now maintained at Windsor will be
abolished and the force moved to White
River junction. The change will be Il
serious blow to Windsor as the trainmen
will be required to live at the end OF
their run and over 80 heads of famiie,
many of them owning houses at Windsor
will be obliged to move.

FIGHT FOR GOOD ROADS.
League of American WheelmenlMak-
ing Good Fight.

In regard to the movement bv the
League of American Wheelmen to secure
the insertion of good roads planks in the
party platforms this year, the managers
of the movement have this to say: "The
leaders of the movement believe that the
time for educating the public to the
necessity OF improved highways is now
passed and that it is opportune to begin
the work of practical legislation upon an
extensive scale. They have met the
argument that the improvement of roads
is direct burden upon the taxpayers,
farmers particularly, by showing
in statistics that instead OF being
onerous good roads are a positive
economic necessity for every class
and every section OF people
One of the strongest arguments IN favor
of the passage of congressional appro-
priation at the present time is that the
farmers will support it by demanding
that some OF the millions OF dollars which
are now annually wasted in so-called
river and harbor improvements which
call for forms of highways shall be used
In the building OF genuine highwavs--
viz, country roads. Though the wheel
men have been the leaders in this
movement, they are not alone by any
| uleaus. lley have sSCuiCu pLC scpPoip
of the farmers national organization,
and many of the oranges have adopted
good roads resolutions of no uncertain
meaning. Now the autombilists come
forward as influential allies in the move
ment. The three classes that are direct
ly interested in the movement represent
both the recreative and economic sides,
combina ion which should augur we'll
for ultimate success in making the good
roads movement one of the great issues
of the day. The arguments that will be
brought to bear upon the political parties
to secure the adoption of the planks will
be in line with the reasons before stated.
and it will be shown that the economic
necessities Of good roads are so compre-
hensive as to affect every person in the
country. Better roads mean cheaper pro-
duce, greater educational and social
facilities and saving OF time and ex-
pense generally. That the matter is OF
sufficient Importance to warrant the at
tention Of the leading political parties
will be proven by the committees having
the matter in charge"

Governor Declines to Aid In Sup
pressing st. Louis Riots.

ST. Louis, June 6.-The representative
business men. largely of the retail dis
trict, who petitioned Governor Stephens
to call out the militia for the purpose of
preserving order during the local car
strike troubles, have received an answer.
The governor takes the ground that the
ST. Louis authorities have not vet eX-
hausted their remedies and that the po-
lice, the posse comtatus and the mayor
must do their full duty before the state
soldiery can be sent into st. Louis.
Governor stephens position in this
matter is recognized as merely political.
The mayor is made a cipher i'll police
matters in st. Louis by the present po-
lice law, being merely an OK oilicio mem
her of the police board, the governor ap-
pointing the rest of the board which
now consists of four Democrats and the
Republican mayor.
The negotiations for a settlement of
the strike are deadockcd, and nobody
prctcnds 10 know how nm agreement can
| bo reached in the immediate future. The
Transit company declares that il is re-
cruling rapidly all the men needed to
man all its cars, and agents of the cor
poratnn are known to have gone far east
