The first accident in building the rail-
road occurred last Thursday when the
steam shovel which is being used in
unloading machinery on the spur track
south of A. A. Boldt's, was tipped over
onto it's side. At the time the crane on
the shovel was being used to unload
cars and probably carelessness on the
part of the operator caused it to become
overbalanced when the boom was swung
around. Fortunately no one was in
jured and the machinery was not dam
aged but the cab was partially de-
stroyed. wrecking train was neces-
sary to put things in shape but on
account of wrecks on the main line, one
was not obtained until Sunday when the
shovel was put back in place in a short
time.
Loads of machinery and supplies
arrive daily, rs carloads having been
received at the local freight yards thus
far for this work. A large pile driver
was installed last week south of the
river tavern where temporary trestle
is being built This driver began opera
lions this week. Four new locomotives
one steam shovel two steam drills and
two cyclone well drivers were among
the machinery which has arrived during
the week. This makes six locomotives
two steam shovels and four steam drills
already on the ground The locomotives
are all new, four coming from the Bald
win locomotive works In Philadelphia
and two from Patterson, N. j.. all are
of standard gauge and are to be used
in hauling machinery to different parts
Of the route. Two locomotives are
needed for each steam shovel
large part of the work being done
a 10
bed. Two miles of excavating has been
done upon the temporary track. This
road is being extended this week across
the land of E. B. Pike. The plant is
now located back of Mr.. Boldt's for
building the permanent track.
The force has been increased this
week to 300 men, few have been dis
charged as unsatisfactory while more
have been added, few coming almost
every day. A slight strike occurred
among one division of Italians Wednes-
day because one man was discharged.
The others turned over their Wheel
barrows and stopped work but they
were soon pacified and returned to work.
A few engineers were sent to white
River Junction the first of the week to
begin operations at that end of the
route. 1t is expected that the force
will be increased to 500 as soon as the
preliminary work Is finished and a larger
force can be utilized
The scene of these operations is
proving a great attraction for sightseers
and on Sunday it seemed as if all Hins-
dale was upon Mortified street as well
as many teams and automobiles from
surrounding towns.

ENJOY YOURSELF
 CHRISTMAS NIGHT

The Harmonic society have their committees appointed for the per lection of arrangements for their Christmas ball. and it begins to look like those attending would have the time of their lives. The regular Christmas tree. which has been the feature of these dances for the past four or five years. will be in evidence again on the 25th. and will bear good cheer to many The very best music will be secured for the occasion consisting of at least six pieces. The Auditorium has been secured and everything Is slipping along as if grease had been applied Those making arrangements for Christmas festivities should make a reservation for this one night at least. for there will be a big time in the old town that night
