RAILROAD NOTES.

The railroad managers have been
censured SO much for not having
trains on time that they have adopted
very simple and successful policy to
avoid complaint. While their increase
in facilities would warrant much fast
Ier running, they keep to old time
tables, and so have minutes and even
hours to spare. The Canadian Pacific,
on its transcontinental journeys, has
six clear hours leeway, besides making
slow table. Trains to the Adiron-
dacks are given a half hour extra, be-
sides ioating along, and to the Thous-
and Islands they have even more room
for accident or delay The same
scheme applies to considerable ex-
tent on the Lackawanna, which could
easily lessen the time between New
York and Morristown, but likes to
take it easily and avoid the risk of
complaint for not being on time
Sunday Call.
Rapid progress is being made on the
work of depressing the tracks of the
Susquehanna Railroad beneath those
OF the Lackawanna, at West End, Jer-
sey City. 1t will progress still faster
hereafter, as the monster steam shovel
that has been used by the Henry Steers
Contracting company In excavating for
the new plant Of the American Tobac-
co company at Marion, has been shift
ed to the former point of operations
and put in service.

PRAIRIE DOG VILLAGES

Missoula, Mont, Aug. 31.-The
governments work in poisoning prair-
lie dogs on infested stock ranges in
this national forest district has had
results this year which forest officers
have decided warrant it's continuance
in 1910. For two years systematic
efforts upon an extensive scale have
been made by the forest service in
cooperation with the stockmen, to
rid the national forest ranges in Ari-
zona, Colorado and New Mexico of
these pests, but this work was not
undertaken in the northwest until the
spring of 1909.
Eastern Montana and the Dakotas
seem to be the worse infested portion
Of this district. The national forest
areas of these regions are compara-
lively small, but in some instances
the colonies or towns of these ami
mails cover an area of several hun
dred acres and the native forage
plants have been greatly injured.
while some range areas outside the
forests have been practically devas-
tated. r. ~ ~ q. .,..-.

o-Lewistown, Pa, Aug. 31.-One OF
the most audacious and startling hold
ups OF railroad train in the east for
years occurred on the eastern slope
Of the Allegheny mountains early to-
day, when lon highwayman stopped
a Pennsylvania express train with a
dynamite charge and at the point of
a revolver compelled the crew to car
ry thousands of dollars in coin bull
lion from the express car to a hoe in
the wilderness. When the conductor
Of the train attempted to interfere
with the robbers planns he was shot
in the hand and the bandid succeeded
in making good his escape.
In the darkness, however, he took
bag containing ten thousand new
Lincoln pennies for gold coin and
staggered away with it, leaving the
real gold bullion to be recovered by
the railroaders.
When the news or the robbery mad
reached the railroad and express
companies the officials Immediately
ordered every available detective
from the east and west to be sent in
an effort to capture the bandit &,
Bloodhounds were also put on the
track, but up to late hour tonight
no trace of the man had been found.
The geeral superintendent and gen.
eral manager of the Adams Express
company are On the grounds to in

The looted train was made up Of
an engine, three express cars and two
sleepers, and the latter were filled
with passengers. At about 1870 a. m.

pointed at the messengers head and

In the spring of the present year
small allotments of funds were made
to the supervisors of the Custer and
Sioux national forests for the purpose
of starting this work. The funds
were for the most part expended in
purchasing strychnine and other drugs
used in preparing grain for bait, while
the grain was furnished by the set
tiers.
The poisoned grain, usually wheat,
was distributed at the holes through
out the dog towns, both by forest Of
ficers and by forest users. More time
was consumed In perfecting the plan
of cooperation than had been anti
cipated and much of the bait was put
out too late to obtain the best results
though several large dog towns were
entirely cleaned up. Experience has
proven that the grain should be put
cut early In the spring-in fact, just
rs soon as the animals appear from
their winter quarters-for the best re-
suits may be obtained before green
grass becomes available.
