entered by the water pipes, dancing
around on top of the stove, filling

of light, and then vanishing without

BASEBALL.

Woodstock won both games of the
double-header with Bridgewater on
Vail field Monday. The score, first
game, 5 to a second game, 8 to 3.
Mackenzie was ON the mound for the
locals at both performances, and the
experts from up the river failed to
make satisfactory diagnosis of his
curves during either session. And
he was going strong at the finish.
Pitcher Spaulding was hard
proposition for the home team in the
morning, and he made the first game
close one all the way Not until
the ninth inning did the Woodstock
team get in the winning run.
In the second game the locals
scored six men before Bridgewater
dropped into line, and three each
was the total of further run-getting
A long hit by " Bump" Davis was
followed by much talk and delay.
The ball struck high in the willows,
aud as the ground rules allow two
bases on a ball batted into the
bushes Mr. Davis ambled to second.
But the wandering sphere hit a
tree, bounded back and was fielded to
second in time to catch the runner.
Owing to the general bewilderment
over the local statute and perhaps
partly for sentimental considerations
Umpire Howes allowed Mr.. Davis to
keep the second bag, and then he
scored.
Woodstock was smothered in an
avalanche of runs in the game with
the Italian Athletic club at Barre
Saturday, the Granite City players
getting IL runs in the first inning,
Renehan of White River junction
being in the box. Wyatt then re-
lieved him, keeping the scoring
down to moderate dimensions in the
rest of the game. Score, 10 to l.

THE DIFFERENCE.

THE remarkable manner in which some big
i enterprises are financed is illustrated by the
story of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in
Alaska which was built by private capitalists These
men issued S3,500,OO0 of FIVE per cent bonds which
paid the entire cost of constructing the road. Then
they issued $5000000 of preferred stock and
S20000,000 of common stock, all of which was
water
During the enormous rush to the Klondike when
the gold fever was high the road for two years
earned the interest on its bonds, paid dividend
Of seven per cent. on the preferred stock and 400
per cent on the common stock When more nor
NAL conditions succeeded, the watered stock earned
but per cent. dividend.
That was railroad building without government
interference or regulation
different course was pursued by Canada when.
the Government of Ontario wanted to throw open
the Cobalt mining district. The Government built
the Temiskaming and Northern Railroad with an
issue Of three per cent. bonds. There no
stock and therefore no water. The Government
operated FIVE trains, all at actual cost Trails for
prospectors we're opened, wagon roads built and
diamond drills leased to miners who could not af-
ford to buy expensive tools. The Government
retained ownership of the mines and leased them
on a royalty Of 25 per cent. OF the net profits.
Canadas method of conservation is that
might we'll have been followed by the United
States in Alaska.
