Railroad RumloIas

The dilapidated condition of the loco- motives on the Harlem railroad is caus- ing the 0. N. E. employees much incon- venience. The Harlem trains fail to reach Millerton on time which causes a consequent delay in making the O. N. k. connection.
 There is hkelihold that the N. Y., N. H. 6 H. and c. N. E. roads will be asked in the near future to increase the wages of all classes of trainmen. The en- gineerS, 1t is said, have already requested a revised and higher wage scale. also shorter hours for days work.
 The change of time on the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. which was announced to take place fast Sunday has been post poned. It is now looked for on Sunday November II. It is expected that the l2.0l northbound express train will be discontinued, tha. the 1230 train instead of remaining at Canaan until 1.15 will leave immediately for Pittsfield thus providing the Albany connection at Van Deusenville which is now made by the express. The 5.04 southbound train will probably also be discontined and the 4.35 train will be run later. The Sunday express, southbound, now arriving here at 6.l9 is likely to be discontinued and the way train now leaving here at 5.52 p. m. will. it is expected, be run earlier, probably about 40.
 It Is a common occurrence to hear a couple of travellers who meander up and down the station platform while waiting for train ask that old, old question as to whya small space is always left be- tween the ends of the rails. No one ever saw rails laid so closely together that the ends touched and the reason for this is said to be to allow for expansion during hot weather. If expansion took place with the rails touching each other a bulge in the track would be the result
 The baggage slump and the first of November arrived nearly at the same time. There has been great decrease in the number of trunks, cases, etc., and the baggage handlers are not sorry The rush will revive to certain extent about holiday time.

TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED
Make W. II. Camp Prove What PcI si.
 kula Tablets do for lndiycstiou'


 It stands to reason that w. II. Camp would not come right out in these col umns year after year and ask you to try Pepsikoln tablets for indigestion if he were not pretty sure you would receive decided benefit.
 You can see that for yourself.
 The remedy fails to cure every case, of course, but he always pays your quarter back, should the tablets fail to do good.
 Life Is too short for msrepresentation i'll matters of this kind, and for the small profit w. H. Camp makes on n % cent package it would be mighty poor judg. ment to induce you to make a trip to this store and then sell you something that would disappoint you.
 If troubled with sour stomach, heart burn, wind belching. coated tongue, loss of appetite, weakened energy, nervous ness, fullness after eating or other stom- aoh trouble, just try Pepsil1ola tablets n our say so. Our word for it, they will build up your energy, steady your nerves. improve your appetite, enrich your blood and put new life in your stomach as sure us this world.

THROUGH
 FAR M FER SPECTACLES s P s

railway from Great Burlington to Ca naan. and its probable benefit to the agricultural section through which it will pass, it is necessary, as in the case of the traveller, from whose standpoint the matter was discussed last week, to assume that certain things will be done by the road. Here we must assume that in addition to carrying passengers, pro- vision will be made for transporting local freight.
 Electric freight traffic is not an un- tried proposition. Although it would be an innovation in this section, it long since passed the experimental stage in other localities and in every instance of which THE NEWS has knowledge, it has been a pronounced success, indeed there are electric roads the freight traffic of which, except during the rush of sum- mer travel, has produced receipts nearly equal to the revenue from carrying pas sengers.
 Ofttimes the electric road places new markets at the disposal of the farmer. Many men engaged in tilling land, are located some distance from railroad stations although perhaps the tracks ex- tend comparatively near their homes. It is these men who would derive bele- fit from local electric freight service. It is customary for electric roads to erect freight receiving platforms between stations along their lines at whatever points are most accessible and conven- tent for the farmers. The usual result is that the farmer, thus relieved of the necessity of making long hauls to a rail road station, enlarges the scope of his farming operations. adopts new activi- ties and profits financially thereby.
 It enables him to make regular ship ments of milk, eggs, poultry. farm and garden produce etc. to the large villages or cities when perhaps he has private customers or where his produce is handled by commission men. There are hundreds of such instances in other parts of the country where there are electric roads. and the farmers are find ing that farming thus diversified, when it is simple and convenient matter 70 make shipments, is bringing better re- turns than did the former methods un- der which regular crops were grown year after year.
 The electric road will make it possible for the farmers children to attend the village or city school, make it possible for him to take business or pleasure trips at convenient times of day, bring people into his section who will desire to pur- chase what he has to sell. In short, an electric road which provides adequate and satisfactory service is, with the rural telephone and the rural free deliv- cry, factor ill relieving farm life of its solitude, monotony and other heretofore undesirable features.

 Over 1000 establishments in this country are affected by the new law.
