Scenic Railway up Mount WASHINGTON

New Hampshire is to have a scenic
railroad on Mount Washington, which
VIII be one of the wonders of the world
The scheme of the Boston and Maine
and New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad companies now contem-
plates the construction of an electric
railroad winding around the mountain
from the base to the summit to replace
the cog railway which has been in OPP
Grafton SO many years The plan Is not
only to operate the road by electricity
but to light 1t throughout its entire
length by powerful electric lights, in or
der to permit its operation by night as
well as by day. The road from Fabyans
to the base OF the mountain il also to
be electrified and made n part of the
general scenic system. 1t is estimated
that the road up the mountain will cost
$4,000 a mile for its installation. 1t Is
expected that with work beginning as
soon as the plans can be matured, 1t
Will take at least three years to COM
plete the road and open II to the public,

mountain. In connection with the
scenic road II is stated that the work

MEETING OF CHRISTIAN WORKERS.
Meet In Mortified Aug to 2o-Speak-
ers from ENGLAND and America.

w. r. Moody has sent invitations to
Christian workers to meet in Mortified
for a general conference Aug. 4 to 20.
The invitations read, in part, as fol-
lows:
1T is with confidence of renewed
blessings that we invite Christian work
ers to again assemble at Mortified from
August to 20, this year. in pursuance
of the original object of the conference.
1.-The present generation Is character
lied by a spirit of unrest. In this re-
spect the church itself is not exempt
Dissatisfaction is widely felt as to old
methods and statements of truth. Chris
tians are challenged to demonstrate the
present sufficiency of the gospel they
proclaim. This challenge, though ex-
pressed in different terms, is none the
less general.
But passing years have in no sense
changed the exceeding sinfulness of sin.
Today, no less than in previous time,
the carnal mind is enmty against God
and the redemption is as great as ever.
Thus 1t Is that in false PHILOSOPHERS and
materialsm the world Is reaching out
for that rest of spirit that God alone can
give.
"a burden of responsibility rests upon
the church to bring the message of
peace, through reconciliation. to this
day and generation. To this min
ton; A knowledge of Gods will con-
corning his servants as revealed in His
Word; a conformity to that revelation /;
and spiritual preparation for service.
To this object is this twenty nlnth con-
ference for Christian workers called.
Some of the leaders in Christian
thought and work from both England
and America have promised to meet
with us. Pursuant to what has become
a feature of the conference, the daily
program of meetings will begin with a

DEATH OF AUSTIN F. KELLEY.
In Mlnneapolls-Lost Heavily Through
Depreciation In Values.

IN mlnneapoNs-Lost 1eaNny 'nTouSH
Depreciation In Values.
Austin F. Kelley, who died in Chicago
Saturday, July /, will be recalled by
many people in southern Vermont and
New Hampshire He was born in Brat
tleboro about Sc years ago and in his
early years worked in the store of Bak-
err e Hewitt in Putney.
When about 25 years of age he enter
ed upon the real estate loan business In
Minneapolis. For many years he was
the most successful loan agent In that
city, and for long period had In mis-
care and keeping some millions of dol
lars, belonging chiefly to New England
investors.
Mr.. Kelleys method was to pay to
every investor his interest and principal
when due, whether he had received them
from the borrower or not His great
promptress and accuracy In pursuing
this course through many years, gave
him the unbounded confidence of bank
ing institutions and individuals
wherever he was known and his bust
ness was steadily enlarged.
The continuous advance of real estate
values in Minnesota enabled Mr.. Kelley
to follow this method of assuming all
| risks and losses, with much profit to
| himself 1t was, however. dangerous
method, and, in the light of subsequent
| course.
In the early nineties the real estate
| boom of many years in Minnesota be-
| came a recession. The mortgages could
| not be collected. Mr.. Kelley believed
| the depression was only temporary and
| continued to pay back to the eastern
| lenders whatever was due them as their
obligations matured, from whatever
| funds he had ON hand. This had been
| his policy in good times; he continued
| it in a mistaken hope, for the recession
| was long continued or permanent, and
| his funds and resources were exhausted.
1t was found that his liabilities were
in the millions. Receivers were appoint
| ed who collected and paid to the later
lenders, respectively, all that could be
| rescued. Many were losers, and Mr..
| Kelley, who had been trusted implicitly
| east and west, was ruined, censured and
| broken. He had never sought to enrich
or profit himself at the expense of any
one else. He did not Withhold a dollar
| from his creditors. He had followed a
| course known to the most of his invest
ors. but their losses were unexpected
| and unforgiven.
In the final crash Mr.. Kelley staggered
| unwisely under his great load, and fail
ed to heed the better counsel. He never
regained his standing. He made grave
mistakes, but they were made with the
hope and purpose of making good the
losses of other people, and not of bene-
fitting himself. Many lost by him, but
a greater number made money through
| his agency.
In his real self he was intelligent
kind well-poised, and worthy. The
mantle of pity should cloak the errors
and misfortunes that followed the
breakdown under such a tremendous
| load. A s H.
Mr. Kelley married Miss Iucv Raker ot
| Putney, daughter of Haynes E. Baker
who survives with a daughter. He also
leaves brother, l.. f. Kelley of Mime
apolis, formerly associated with him in
business, and a sister, Miss Lucia Kelley

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN CLUB.

The last issue of the vermonter is one
of the best numbers Of that valuable pub
location ever issued. The principal article
deals with the purposes and projects Of
the Green Mountain club, and Is from the
pen of DIR. l.. ]. Paris, of Burlington
1t IL profusely illustrated with as fine a
collection of Vermont mountain views as
ever has been assembled. The cuts are
remarkably clear, the press work Is ex-
cellent, and the publication is a credit to
the state. 1t ought to be purchased In
large numbers by Vermonters in and out
of this commonwealth.
Readers of the Journal are familiar with
the purposes of the Green Mountain club
organized last year by James p. Taylor,
of SaXtons River, which Is to bring the
people of Vermont into closer touch with
the value and beauty of our mountains
and to make this natural asset of greater
benefit to the state.
In his article Doctor Paris says: THE
specific work to be carried out Is to make
the mountains accessible by means of
trails, well marked, and kept In repair
the building of camps or shelter houses
where they can be of service, the Issuing
of maps and books of information of the
work done on the mountains, the distrbu-
4inn of this literature at home and out
side of the state, the gathering of large
membership to make the appeal of the
club stronger and lastly the inevitable
exploitation of the state through its
mountains"
According to the writer "the pet pro-
ject of the Green Mountain club is con-
tinuous trail through the mountains from
Massa chusetts to the Canadian line, wind
ing along the slopes, climbing the peaks,
passing through the notches and search
ing out the beauties along it's route"
1T is estimated that such trail can be
completed in five years. The distance to
be traversed is 15S miles, and the maxi
mum cost is estimated at only five dollars
"A mile. Surely such a trail would return
good interest on an investment OF $3.50.
1t is said that before the present summer
has ended thirty miles of the trail will be
in use, from Johnson to the top of Camel's
Hump crossing Sterling mountain, Snug
glers' Notch, Mount Mansfield and Bolton
mountain.
It is suggested that one day be set
aside by Vermont as Green Mountain day.
While the proposal to create another legal
holiday might not meet with favor, it Is
entirely possible to observe such a day
without the usual holiday closing OF
banks and public buildings Too often
holidays are not celebrated in just the
manner intended by those responsible for
their establishment and probably nearly
as many persons would observe such a
day IL it were an unofficial instead of an
official holiday. The underlying idea is
a splendid one. If we can induce more
Vermonters to climb our mountains by
setting aside a special day. let us fix upon
"A day before the present summer ends.
This club has undertaken much need =
ed task. 1t is absurd that the descend
ants of the Green Mountain Boys living
In the Green Mountain state, should
know so little of the Green Mountains,

The 10000 odd rural free delivery car

salary increases of AO0OO0O during the

the shorter routes. Congress provided
last session for the expenditure of this
extra 100000. but left 1t to the dis

case in point. The writer Of that let
ter thought that perhaps 1t weighed a
little over an ounce, a little more than
would go for 2 cents, and SO he put on
g little more postage ZEN more
which he thought would cover 1t, when
the fact IS that it required an addi-
tional two cent stamp. OF course you
know that letter postage is not frac-
tional. but that it goes in multiples Of
two. II 9 letter weighs ever SO little
over an n it requires IN additional
