RAILROADS LAY OFF s1,YsQ NAV
Reduction in Payroll Estimated at
Se5,410,0o0.

Chicago. Aug. 29.-Statistics com
piled by the Bureau of Railway
Economics show that railroads repre-
senting about 60 per cent Of the total
operated mileage OF the country re-
duced the number OF their employees
by S1,7S0 between April 30. 1910, and
April 80, 1911.
If the same condition prevailed on
other lines not reporting to the bur
eau. rail carriers throughout the
United States, II is figured, had 1885,
300 fewer workers on April 80 last
than on the same date in 1910. Plac-
ing the annual income of the average
railroad worker at 800 year, the
total estimated cut in working forces
represents a reduction in the .payrolls
of the carriers amounting to $95,4lO,-
600 for one year. Since the returns
were compiled by the bureau many
of the railroads have adopted a dras-
tic retrenchment policy, and the
totals up to date. it is believed, would
be substantially higher than those
enumerated.

not very well known in the village,

Mrs. Edison Maxon OF North Pownal
and Mrs. S. C. Buck of Petersburg.
A. G.. Parker gave his Ford car
severe trial with run of 223 miles
Sunday to Baldwin at the upper ex-
tremity of Lake George. Besides
Mrs Parker those who went were d.
F. Gardner and A. B. Jr. Their destin
alton was the cottage of A. r. Towne
at Baldwin. The up trip was through
Saratoga and Glens Falls up to Saga
roads. From this point on there is
IA different story to tell and had they
known of the difficulties ahead moth
ing could have induced them to make
the trip. At one point hill of sand
was struck which was so deep that
traction was absolutely impossible.
After a time the expedient was
thought of, of digging in front OF the
wheels, laying down pine boughs. In
this way good traction was had and
the obstacle surmounted. The road
now left the lake and after going sew
eral miles road turned of to the
right bearing the sign Ticonderoga
Il miles. This was grown up with
grass and was evidently little used.
In a few moments the tourists were
going up Tongue mountain which was
so steep as to make Lebanon or Pot
ter mountain seem like an aut bill by
comparison. The descent seemed
worse than the ascent as il was nee
essary TO slide the wheels good deal
of the time to hold the car. After
the lake was reached again the roads
were good into Ticonderoga. Parker
learned too late that this mountain
was considered almost impossible for
autos. Baldwin was reached at 245
and only a short stay was made with
the TONNES. They then drove over
TO Lake Champlain which they cross
ed at Benson Harbor on ferry, The
descent onto the boat was very steep
and somewhat trying on the nerves.
Another car came on behind Parker,
and not running slowly enough near
ly ran off the side of the boat. The
run from Fair Haven home was over
perfect roads with the exception Of
the new state road near Cambridge.
Home was reached at 9:l5 and all
were pleased to reach Pownal again
after such strenuous trip.

attention to the adornment of certain
