Destructive Storm in Tobacco Section

Fully 100000 worth of tobacco and 9TH
er property was destroyed in Hampden
county, Mass, and northern Connecticut
early Friday afternoon by the severest hail
and thunderstorm that has visited that
section IN many years. The storm gath
cred in the west and swept into Hampden
county, gathering velocity, and plowed a
twU-mile swath across the entire valley,
leaving in its wake ruined tobacco fields,
up-rooted and shattered trees, broken
wires and fattened fields of grain and
vegetables. 1t was felt with greatest force
in the towns of Agawam and Feeding
Hills, where the hailstones were the larg.

The trout season, which comes to an
end as far as stream fishing is CON
cerned next Thursday, has been I'M
satisfactory to sportsmen throughout
Windham county. Beginning two
weeks later than formerly instead of
four weeks earlier as was urged be-
fore the legislature last fall by many
Windham county men, the season
opened with such a rush of anglers
to the various streams that the first
week saw more trout taken than ever
before. The inevitable result was
that the remainder of the season of
fered hardly any sport. Practically
all six-inch trout in this section were
caught during the first few days of
the open season. Since then many
fishermen have been out but in the
neighborhood of Brattleboro at least
it has been practically impossible to
catch even few fish of the required
length. And the worst feature Of this
state of affairs is that it cannot be
remedied before year from this fall.
The opening of the trout season next
spring will see a repetition of the
slaughter of this year, diminished only
by the fact that there will be less
trout to catch because of the lack of
protection under the present arrange
ment. Had the complaints of the
''little bunch of kickers from Wind
ham county" been needed at Montpol-
Ter last fall there is no doubt that the
prospect of improved fishing in this
corner of the state would have been
much brighter.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

We protested a week or two ago
about the seemingly needless noise
that is a regular accompaniment TO
railroad traffic roundabout Brattle-
boro Whether our remonstrance will
help bring about more quiet method
of railroading we know not; nor 40
we feel sure that any effort toward
securing an abatement of the smoke
nuisance will result in immediate I'M
provement of conditions. 1t must be
admitted, however, that the protuslon
of dense black smoke which persons
whose places of business border on
the railroad tracks are obliged to in.
hale daily is literally a nuisance and
as such comes within the jurisdiction
of authority. No one expects that the
time is yet at hand when white gloves
and other such delicate adornments
can be worn with impunity in close
proximity to freight yards and coal
pockets, but it is not unreasonable to
wonder if care on the part OF railroad
EMPLOYEES would not reduce the solllng
influence of steam traffic to consider
able extent. When the perfect smoke
consuming device is invented the trou-
bles of dirty railroading will be over.
Meanwhile we are disposed to ask the
Boston and Maine and Central Yer
mont railroads for regulations that
will prevent the wholesale firing OF
locomotives in thickly settled districts
and allow jewellers along the line. OF
these roads the occasional opportunity
of enjoying life with open windows
The Massachusetts, railroad commits
sion takes this attitude on the smoke
nuisance:
1t is the general opinion of expert
employees that the issue Of clouds OF
black smoke from locomotives is or
dinarily unnecessary, and that the en-,
forcement of rules to secure skilful
firing with proper quality of soft coal,
and with proper care of engines, Will
so reduce the output of smoke as to
remove all ground of reasonable com
plant. In our Judgment this sugges-
tion should be given an immediate and
complete test. 1t means a higher
standard of requirement in the schools
of firing and skill attainable only
by thorough preliminary instruction
and subsequent inspection of the work
done. In this connection it seems
proper to state that the board has Sc
lected for appointment as an addi-
tional inspector one whose experience
as fireman, engineer and master me-
chanic should qualify him for the spe
cial duty of supervising the way in
which this recommendation is carried

A Factory Romance.

Sc brief is the opportunity for personal
life with working-people that perhaps in
the little time when they enter into self
consciousness they live all the more ar
IDENTIFY and vitality. There is peculiar in
timation of this in Maude Radford's i'm
Intensely human and compelling stories of
factory life. An. Idyl of the Yards in the
August McClure's, tells the story of a
factory girl of the modern type-vigorous.
self-reliant, sophisticated-who suddenly
meets and grapples with a moral dilemma
of which all her worldly-wise experience
has taught her nothing. One loses sight
OF economic laws and theories in reading
this tale, so absorbing is the interest Of
the human problem; but by implication
they are still there, and gives this fresh
and original tale background of unusual
perspective.
