ELBERT WRITES OF ERIE.
Sage of RoycrOft Tells About In
ception of the Road.

Ctption VI UHe 1todu.
Ebert Hubbard, that wizard with
the lead pencil, has written a ro-
mantle booklet of the Erie railroad
from the first days of 1882, when
the early talk of the road was heard
until the recent great achievement
of cutting down Bergen hill for a
four-track entrance to Jersey City,
Jay Gould once said: ''The limit of
the Erie is Bergen tunnel" but that
no longer applies.
mo novel ever penned," writes
Ebert Hubbard, lis so full of ro-
nance as the story of the Erie rail-
road. Poetry, art, literature, fl
nance, invention, passion, love, hate,
homicide, suicide, have been woven
into the warp and woof of it's his
tory. No commercial venture has
ever been so torn and tossed by the
bulls as the Erie. Happy times
make dull biographies. There is
nothing dull in the Erie history.
1t is story of strife, tale of battle
and yet a record of constant, up
ward march. Its history has been
written in the cold language of
figures and statistics, and these are
not history at all, any more than
political records are history.
THE history of the Erie is the
history of the commercial suprem-
acy of America. OF course, | could
never complete the history of the
Erie, because it is a never-ending
tale. The Erie isn't built yeti is
only in process.
THE Erie railroad as yet is only
in it's youth. 1t has not yet reach
ed manhood. Within the past eight
years there has come into being a
new Erie. Not rail is on the main
line of one thousand miles, lacking
one, from Jersey City to Chicago,
that was there eight years ago. New
steel and heavier steel, lower grades,
longer trains, heavier equipment, nu-
merous safety appliances, increased
efficiency, mark this awakening of
the giant.
The man to advocate putting
fifty million dollars into the Erie
for the purpose of lowering grades
and making it generally a modern
transportation machine was Fred
erick d. Underwood. 1t is an open
secret now that President Under
wood was hired with this one idea
in mind, the liberating of the Erie
from the incubus of Bergen hill,
that mountain of unfriendly, un-
compromising trap-rock that sullen-
ly damned the tide of trade.
Faith, aided by money, can re-
move mountains. But it takes a
big man to get money. Underwood
is both an engineer and a money
getter. Also he is a diplomat in
securing rights of way and in max
ing friends of those whose friend
ship is required. That mountain
must be leyeled bodily. An open
cut must be made. The matter was
laid before the men of means and
Underwood was told to go ahead.
And now Bergen hill has been cut
through.
THE cut is seventy feet deep,
a hundred feet wide and a mile
long. To do the task cost five mill
lion dollars. Four tracks are laid
on the level floor at the bottom of
this great artificial canyon. The
two tracks and the old tunnel that
have done such valiant service will

A Costly Prayer Book.

Queen Elizabeth used to carry about
with her suspended by chain of pure
gold book called "The Golden Manual
Of Prayer" dainty volume of 800
pages bound in hammered virgin
gold" One side Of this costly volume
gave representation of the judgment
Of Solomon, the other the brazen ser
pent on the cross in the desert.

Foreigners Chase Native BerTypick-
ers on Mountain.

Report is made in West Scranton
by local people who recently go
berrying on the east mountain that
the foreigners who make a business
of picking berries chase all the
American people who attempt TO go
to the mountain and gather berries.
This report has not come from one
person, but several tell the same
thing. The foreigners have an idea

ThriIIing Experience.

w II. Livingston had quite thrill
ing experience while fording the Little
Nestucca river above Media last Sun
day. He was returning from Sheridan
where he had gone to meet Mrs G. A..
Campfield of Cadillas, Michigan, who
was on her way to Oretown to visit her
son, John Mather. Mr.. Livingston was
riding horse ahead of a rig which
was driven by Ole Redberg and con-
tanned Mrs. Campfield. When they
reached the river Mr.. Livingston got
off his horse to lead it across but when
they got amidstream the current was
so strong that it took the horse off it's
feet causing it to fall on Mr.. Living
ston, pinning him down in the water.
After few lunges the horse managed
to get off of Mr.. Livingston, but before
he could regain his footing the current
swept him down stream with such
force as to turn his hip rubber boots
inside out to the ankles. After going
down the stream a short distance he
to get hold of an overhang-
ing limb which he clung to until re-
ieved by Mr.. Redberg.-
