GRIMES.

Mrs. Margaret Phillips Grimes,
widow of the late Charles Grimes died
at her home on the Lexington pike,
Friday morning at a o'clock. Mrs.
Grimes had been in poor health for
sometime but her death came as a
shock to her friends and relatives. She
died in the home where she was born
and reared being the daughter of
Lewis Phillips and Indiana Burnsides.
Mrs. Grimes was seventy six years old
and her sterling qualities won for her
many friends who will be panied to
learn of her death. She leaves two
daughters, Mrs. William Porter and
Miss Elizabeth Grimes and one son,
Mr.. Ira Grimes. to mourn her loss.
Her husband and one daughter, Miss
Mary Grimes, having died several
year ago and while those who loved her
cannot but mourn her loss it is sweet
to think of her as reunited with those
who had gone before.
And when Christmas morning broke
Upon the shining strand.
Her keel was on the golden shore
Her Pilot close at hand.
Amid the fields of Paradise
So peaceful and so fair,
With every burden far away
And safe from pain and care.

$4,000 FOR NEW
FIRE APPARATUS
New Head Of Department Has Money
For Modern Equipment

This is a compliment to the interest
these men have taken in their haz-
ardous calling and the promptness
with which the companies have called
the attention of the old councils to
the fulfillment of needs made neces-
Sary il the fire stations were to be
properly kept up in apparatus and
accessories and facilities for rapid de-
parture.
Were the volunteer department to
continue indefinitely here, 1t is quite
probable that an instruction school
would be opened and the men drilled
similar to the metropolitan forces.
They not only would be taught in the
movements for. quick and methodical
work, but also in the science of this
dangerous but fascinating game. A
great educational factor to-day is tho
prevention of fires as well as protec-
tion against it. The preventable
causes of flame are as much feared,
really, as the element itself. So IL
countrywide impetus is being given to
awaken people to the need of mere
care about the premises and the re-
moval of the common causes of fro
waste, which amounts to $500, 900, 600
a year in this country. In this CAM
paign the Reading volunteers will take
an active part if their organizations
are not disturbed. For that matter,
they also would lend their aid as vet
Grams.
The local department Is in better
condition to-day than at any time,
and, as stated. much of the credit of
| this Is due to the firemen themselves.
1t has made great strides during the
| last three years in the acquisition Of
| appliances and new houses.

Shakey one-track road between this
city and Reading, an even worse
single-track road between here and
Shippensburg and Gettysburg, a pas
senger depot that was a disgrace to
the city and a rickety old freight sta
tion that was even worse.
To-day the Reading handles from
5000 to 1000 cars many a day and
thinks nothing of it. The opening of
the soft coal mines of West Virginia
was big boon to the former carrier
of anthracite. This traffic from the
south and west came in such quanti-
ties that it became necessary to build
the great Rutherford yards, with their
offices, shops and roundhouses, and the
village of Rutherford Heights with its
boarding houses, inn and railroad
Young Mems Christian Association is
another result Of this boom.
In the meantime the old depot has
given way to a new passenger station
and there are no more modern or up
to-date freight yards anywhere than
those of the Reading here. The crea-
tion of the Harrisburg division was
another long step toward the develop
ment of this part of the Reading sys-
tenn.
The Rutherford yards have nearly
seventy miles of tracks. Three large
machine shops and roundhouse en-
ploy upward of 25O men. In the
large car repair shops 400 men are
employed. An electric power plant
furnishes all the electricity used on
! the place.
The Reading employees in Harris
burg and vicinity number almost 1000
and ten years ago just about half
that number found employment The
majority of these men live on Allison
Hill and at Rutherford. The Reading,
like the Cumberland Valley, will one
| day have to double track its bridge
over the Susquehanna river at this
point.

desired, but the city held rights to the
streets that it would be necessary to
abandon and the company and the
City Councils could not come to any
decision as TO the amount of damages
and improvements to be made in re-
turn for the streets desired. Finally
last year it was decided that the city
should give up its street rights if the
railroad company would agree to con-
tribute 5000 in cash and construct
subways under the tracks of the Cum
berland Valley Railroad in Mulberry
street at Front and Second streets.
This, the company agreed, was u
fair proposition and the ordinance was
passed and signed. The company will
let the contract for the subways as
soon as the plans are passed upon by
the Public Service Commission. 1t is
expected that all the preliminary de-
tails will have been completed within
thirty days and that the early Spring
will witness the breaking of ground
for the new passages.

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company feels the stimulus of its
coal field connections to the south
more than ever. It's freight traffic is
steadily on the increase and it has
been found impossible to operate
trains successfully in and out of Har-
risburg by way of the old iron bridge
across the river at Mulberry street.
1t is a single track structure and,
while still in a good state of preser-
vation, will have to be replaced by a
two track bridge.

Harrisburg's Fire Department has
been severely criticised by the under
writer's in a recent report, but few
people take this criticism seriously.
The fire loss of Harrisburg is very low.
1t is not more than once year that
the city has anything like a fire of size
and in no case in recent years has the
fact that fire spread to disastrous
proportions been the fault of the fire
chief or the firemen themselves.
Notwithstanding all this, however,
the people have decided to equip their
fire fighters with the best apparatus
on the market. To that end some of
the old apparatus will be retired this
year and the $25, 600 voted by the tax
payers last Fall for the purpose will
be used to buy auto engines, trucks
and other vehicles for the service.
This buying will be done under the
direction of Commissioner M. Harvey
Taylor. who under the new commits
sion form of government is the head
of the Fire Department. Fire Chief
Kinder and his assistant, recently ap-
pointed, Ed. Halbert. a fireman of
judgment and experience, will also
give their attention to the study of the
proper kind of machinery with which
to equip the department.
Just now the Harrisburg firemen
as whole are preparing for the con-
vention of the State firemen here next
Fall. 1t is expected that at least 200
companies will have representatives
in attendance and there will be at
least 100 bands In the parade, prob
ably many more. The convention
promises to be not only the largest of
its kind in the history of the State
association, but the parade will in all
likelihood prove the biggest thing of
its kind ever attempted in Harris
burg.
No one claims that the city's volun-
teer system is perfect 1t can be i'm
proved in a number of ways. But II
must be conceded that the local de-
partment, has made rapid progress in
fire-fghting methods and equipment
and that from the present material a
service of the paid character could be
welded that would be on a par with
the modern trained forces of the big
cities before the lapse of many weeks

"HE year 1914 promises to witness
exceptionally extensive and eN-
pensive improvements in Harris
burg and vicinity.
The Pennsylvania. and the Cumber-
land Valley roads will spend, it is esti-
mated, more than $2,000,000 i'll i'm
proving their freight and terminal
facilities in this city and the Valley
road will continue its efforts to place
its line above grade in all of the towns
along the right of way.
For years the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has realized that its
freight facilities in Harrisburg have
not been what they should be for a
city of its size and Importance. AS
Harrisburg grows as a railroad center
many manufacturing and selling COM
panies doing business of an interstate
nature have come to realize its impor-
tance as a distributing center. More
and more this city has become point
from which carload lots are broken up
and shipped by local freight and in
smaller consignments to all parts of
the East, New York to the north and
the Southern States to the south.
Every year this reshipping business
here becomes greater.
The old freight station in the lower
end of the city has long since outlived
its usefulness. To meet the growing
need for better transfer facilities inn
mense yards and sheds We're a few
years ago erected between Maclay and
Division streets almost a mile in
length. These have served their pur-
pose admirably and fully 500 men are
employed there daily, a large number
of them having been transferred to
this city from Philadelphia in order
that work done there formerly could
be done here, where better junction
facilities are afforded
Not Sufficient
But these have proved by no means
capable of relieving the work of get
ting freight in and out of Harrisburg
as rapidly as shippers and the railroad
company itself would like. So it has
become absolutely necessary to re-
move the old depot and yards in the
lower end and replace them with big
yards and large station, warehouses
and offices capable of taking care OF
all traffic that may develop within the
next fifteen years.
To this end the new freight station
project has been under discussion for
the past six or seven years 1t has
finally reached a head. The railroad
company has for a long time owned
sufficient land in the lower end of the
city to make possible the improvement
