Fun with Auto and Auto Dealers.

Glover people were recently fur
nlshed with no small mount of
amusement at the expense of au tomo-
bile dealers at home, and abroad. j.
II. Stuart of McIndoes, agent for the
overland cars was put wise that car
OF the right capacity might find pur-
chaser in Glover, but as usual, the
buyers must be shown and party of
four was made up for steep hill climb,
and being assured that no hill was too
steep for the Overland, the Mason hill
was selected for the climb. Two at
tempts were made, each proving to be
failure. Mr.. Stuart acknowledged
his Waterloo and quietly fell into
retirement.
The G.H. Davis company, agents for
the EMF $50" were apprised of the
event and invited to take try with
their car. as several in town were in
terested in the EMF "30". Mr..
Davis at once accepted the invitation,
and on Friday at one .. M. was on
hand with his usual courage. He Sc
lected party whose combined weight
was 1852 pounds and started for the
hill. The car never slackened during
the climb and the party returned safe
ly, reporting that apparently consider
able more weight might have been
carried.
A few hours later in the same day,
Charles McGoff, representing the Goss
company at st. Johnsbury, scented the
game and appeared in town with Re-
gal 1907, and not having inspected
the renowned half mile course sky
ward announced that the Regal would
on the next day, Saturday, at one o.
M, make record worthy of note
and it did. With load consisting of
four medium weight people it started
on tour of inspection prior to the
official run. The Regal started in
we'll but died long before the summit
was reached. 1t was backed down the
hill and finally refused to go at ALL
The passengers were carried to their
respective homes by team and the car
was towed to Barton to the Crystal
Lake garage.
At this writing, the EMF has
made record that should appeal to
buyers in this hill country, and Mr..
Davis says that when the record has
been beaten, he will try again.

TRAIN WRECK KILLS SIX
Central Vermont Trains Meet Near
Nc rthfield in Head-on Collision and Six
Men are Killed.

Six trainmen were killed and others
injured in headon collision between
two freight trains at Mortified Sun
day morning. To add to the horror of
the wreck tank car burst and the oil
ignited and burned the wreckage.

operator at Mortified had orders to
hold the northbound freight there to
let the southbound. which was made
up of locomotive and caboose. pass.
He failed to get his signal board down
in time and rushed out with his orders
just as the heavy train made up of -35
crs went through Mortified at the
rate Of 30 miles an hour on down
grade. He made frantic efforts to
attract the attention of those in the
cabo6se but was unsuccessful and
waited for the crash which came six
minutes later
At the rear of the long train was
one car load OF dynamite and one of
gasoline. These were not derailed
The bodies of the men were taken
from the ruins as soon as they were
cool enough to be reached. The North
field fire department was summon ed
and pumped water on the burning mass
for several hours In addition to the
lives lost the damage to rolling stock
and freight is e. t.mated at $50, ,009 or
more.

PilIsbury-Baldwin Go Sure.

The st. Johnsbury Republican under
the head "New Factory Sure" says
"Work by the Commercial club in Sc
curing the entire subscriptions for
$50, 600 of'preferred stock of the Pills
bury-Baldwin : company is nearing
completion. Tuesday the solicitor
only lacked $4, 500 of the full amount
necessary. These are actual sub
scriptions. Several persons have
signified their intention of signing but
unless they sign between now and
Saturday noon they will be too late.
1t is hoped every person who has any
idea of investing in this stock will see
the solicitor. Mr.. Dodge, at once.
The work of building the new fac
tory will be begun Immediately after
the organization of the company is
perfected. This will take probably
about ten days time after notice is
given to the Barton company that the
stock is fully subscribed. !"

Orleans came a tedious waiting. At
Newport came another tiresome wait

this specimen of the way our trip
will be throughout" But it was not
so. Our trip was remarkably free
from such annoyances. There were so
few, that they were forgotten in the
quick thought of how many things
were fully as good, often even better
than we had looked for. Arriving at
Montreal we repaired as directed to
the Queens Hotel. Here we met
many, many women, with the white

advice of one of my friends who at
tended the last w. C. T. U. conven-

white bow sewed on my jacket and
another on my raincoat and a small
one on my waist. Here were gath
cred ladies all along from California
to Vermont, till there were one hun

not care for a hearty dinner so we
went into restaurant and had light
supper, ere we started for our boat,
