The Mountaineer Corrects Us.

In commenting on what the Democrat
had to say last week regarding the
change of gauge on the Grand Trunk in
1874, the Gorham IN. H. Mouutaiueer
says this:
Regarding the narrowing OF the Grand Trunk
TO standard gauge II Is bit of. The road was
narrowed saturday, September 20, 1874, but this
did not include all of the sidings on the division.
Much OF the work had been done previous to
that day, for instance. every other inside spike
on the rails to he moved had been pulled and all
OF the inside spikes for the new gauge had been
driven. When the last train passed east carry
Ing the proper signals Friday night, the men who
had been previously distributed along the line
commenced the work of pulling the remaining
spikes and throwing the rails In.
The Democrat desires to be accurate,
and is glad to be corrected. Ii was the
recollection of the editor that the change
was not begun until after the last train
had passed on Saturday, but his recol-
lection is likely TO be in error. Neither
is it the recollection Of Mr.. Porter, who
worked on the job, as his work as he re-
calls it was done Saturday night and
Sunday But he admits that he also
may be mistaken on that point. The
Mountaineer is pretty good authority on
railroad matters.
IHcu ueIe 10 auVtueI itoh VI ioOoi-
lection that complexities the thing lit
tie more. Joseph A. Noyes OF South
Paris recollects that be attended the re-
union of his regiment in Portland on
Saturday, and though he went in on the
morning train all right, he was unable
tn get ont at night because of the change
of gauge, aud came to Yarmouth on the
Maine Central and stayed with friends
there over Sunday.

Another matter of former-day railroad
work mentioned BY Mr. Porter is rather
interesting The first fiange pillow used
on the road, be says, was pushed by
hand. The section crew used to shovel
out the crossings, and then shove the
fange pillow over the road. AS this was
pretty rugged work, the section crew
used to chip In a few cents apiece and
hire a horse of Otis Swift, who lived
where his son Amsss Z. now does, to
haul the pillow. To get over the culverts
they used to take plank along and lay
IL down. and the old horse would walk
the plank without any trouble.

Of appeals has repealed set aside and
annuliei an order # entered on Sep
slnbet 2, 1909. prescribing certain
Educational qualifications Of applI-
eants for certificates to practice law
In this state. The order reads:
ut is ordered that all applicants
for admission to the bar Of this
state shall have a good English ed
ucation; and, beginning with the
year 1911, they shall have education
al attachments equal to those usually
obtained in the High SCHOOLS OF this

responsible for the statement that
the corn crop is assured with the
rainfall of Monday. The farmers to
the west of town even on the up
lands bring in extra good reports.
Charles Nelson, near Savonberg is
responsible for the statement that
the corn crop is fully two hundred
per cent better than this time last
year. Very few farmers among 20
or * seen Saturday were in the least
in doubt about big crop. The
rain of today will add to the chances
for large crop.
