ESCAPES FatalInjury.

John Cotton of Rutland, a freight
brakeman in the employ of the Rutland
railroad, was taken to the Mary Fletcher
hospital, Burlington, Saturday night
with his left ankle crushed as tn e result
of falling from the top of a freight car
and his leg going under wheel near the
Colchester siding, earlier in the evening
That his body was not ground to death
seems miracle. The train had Just
slowed up and was crawling along the
siding when Cotton, who was walking
along the top of car, made miss teI
and was plunged between the car.
Strange to say he was not in the least
injured in striking the ground where he
alighted on his feet, but his left ankle
went under the car wheel before he
could get his balance. He was quick
enough, however, and had presence OF
mind to pull his other leg away from
danger.

WILD BIRDS DECREASING.

Scientists estimate that the number
of wild birds now in this country is
not more than one-fifth the number
here thirty years ago. The National
Association of Audubon societies is en-
gagged in a campaign tor the preserva-
ton of those birds, and has within the
last year done much to bring about
the enactment of the Weeks Mclean
bill, giving the federal government con-
troll of migratory game and insectivor-
Gus birds, and of the law forbidding
the importation of feathers. The asso-
citation hopes to make this improvement
permanent, to establish bird sanctuaries
and to keep up a campaign of educa-
ton that will lead young people to
knowledge and love for the feathered
songsters.
Insects each year destroy more than
81, 900, 900, 600 worth of agricultural pro-
ducts, and these pests would increase
beyond endurance if it were not for the
birds. Preservation of the birds is
thereby closely connected with the eco
nomic welfare of the nation. Boston

LOSS THROUGH STORM IN
FLORIDA.

Ocolo, Florida, April 10. Hail and
wind storms, accompanied by a sharp
drop in temperature last night, did
much damage to the vegetable and cit
rus fruit crops throughout central
Florida.
Orange groves, melon and tomato
fields suffered severely in southern
Florida. However, the sections where
the bulk of the citrus fruits are pro-
duced experienced only a cold rain.
The frost was confined to the north
west section, which was swept by {
storm of cyclonic proportions. Houses
were unroofed, windows broken, anC
several orange groves were destroyed
The melon crop in this and adjoining
counties, the center of the melon bel
of Florida, is believed to be almost
total loss.

LETTER FROM A. H. COPELAND.
Oak Park, Ill.,, April s, 1914.

YAK ARK, Ill. April Q, 1914.
Editor Register:
| noticed in a recent issue of the Mid
dlebury Register list of the clerks
retained in the post office there. This
list shows a large increase in the bust
ness of the post office now over that of
1851. Then Asa Chapman was post
master and was the only clerk and
was also telegraph operator. The
work in the post office was very differ
ent then from now. The postage on
letters was then five and ten cents
according to distance and no stamps.
All letters had to be way billed, one or
more going to a town the way bill then
entered in book, either paid or collect.
The letter or letters were then wrapped
and tied up and the town marked on the
outside of the wrappers. Letters going
north or south were sent to the Troy,
N. Y, d. p. o.
The postage on periodicals and news
papers was then paid by the subscribers
and we had to watch closely at the end
of the quarter for the date and collect
the postage. think Friday was news
paper day for weekly papers and we had
large list of the New York Weekly
Tribune and other weeklies. | think
there were no daily papers taken as the
price of daily papers was then fifteen
dollars year, including postage. The
receipts of the office was small then
compared to what it is now. Then we
had no rural deliveries but stages which
carried the mails to nearby towns.
Postmasters are now bankers and ex-
press agents as well as postmasters.
E. R. Wright succeeded Mr.. Chapman
as postmaster and H. l.. Sheldon sue
ceeded me as clerk. The post Office was
then in the wooden ell to Brewster s
block. DR.. VIM. P. Russell succeeded
Mr.. Wright as postmaster and moved
the postoffice into his drug store next
door south. think Justus Cobb sue
ceeded DR.. Russell as postmaster and
moved the post Office to the Allen block
which has since been destroyed by fire.
After left the postoffice l moved the
telegraph office to the north end of the
| Seymour block about where the post
office now is in the Battell block and
started news room and brought the
first daily papers to Middlebury.

Auto Struck by Motorcycles.

In collision between a touring car
driven by Nathaniel G. Hill of As Wild
wood street, Winchester, and double
seated motorcycle in which M. A. In
zernizzi and his wife were taking an
Easter outing. Mrs. Inzernizzi was Sc
verely injured so that she was taken to
the Winchester hospital and later re-
moved to the Massachusetts General
hospital.
Hill was driving slowly along Church
street and was about to turn into
Sheffield West when the machine that
Inzernizzi was driving approached
rapidly along Beacon street, and
crashed against the front of the auto
mobile. The force of the impact threw
Mr.. and Mrs. Inzernizzi from their
seats on the motorcycle to the pave
ment. The front wheel of the motor
car was smashed, but Mr. Hill escaped
injury. Boston Herald.

VERMONT HAS THE RIGHT ROAD
POLICY.

The road problem is serious one in
Connecticut, where the policy has been
to construct expensive State roads. The
other day in Rutland Highway Commits
sioner S. Percy Hooker of New Hamp-
shire stated that Connecticut had eX-
pended about 81, 0O0,0 600 on thousand
miles of such roads, and he emphasized
that fact that the maintenance of each
mile of these roads would be about 81 ,00O
a year. This means that Connecticut
will have to figure on 1000, 900 year
for road upkeep.
The Norwich, Conn.,, Bulletin has the
following to say in confederation of Mr..
Hooker's statements:
The matter of improved State high
ways is one which is going to be more
important than ever before at the next

Racing Auto Kills Boy.

West Orange, N. j., April 9.-Two
automobiles racing on Prospect ave-
nue. this morning came in collision
near the Mountain Ridge Country club
with the result that Clifford Palmer, 4
years old, was killed almost instantly;
his father, Frank c. Palmer, who was
driving one car had his collar bone dis
located; Mrs. Palmer suffered dis
located hip, and Kenneth Palmer, an
elder son, and Mrs. James Regain of
Dav street, Orange, were slightly hurt.
The Palmers live in North Center
street, Orange, and Mr.. Palmer is a
dealer in eggs. The car they were
racing with was driven by John Hodge,
chauffeur, who had been given per-
mission by his employer, F. c. Hall,
manager of the Hotel Montclair at
Mcntclair, to use the automobile for
the afternoon. With Hodge were Helen
Sullivan and Barbara Golsong, en-
ployed in the hotel Montclair office and
James j. Byrne, the night clerk. When
the collision came the Palmer car was
hurled twenty feet to one side of the
road, and after tearing through a
barbed wire fence it fell over on its side
after whirlng completely around.
Hodge is held by the West Orange
police under bail of $4,000 and will be
charged with manslaughter. Bail was
first fixed at S., 900, but when it became
known that he had tried to escape after
the accident it was doubled AS soon as
the news reached the State Depart.
ment of Motor Vehicles Hodges license
was cancelled.

SAFE AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL.

With the multiplication of automobiles
in Rutland and throughout Vermont the
necessity grows for strict enforcement
of safe rules of the road. There is now
one automobile for about every seventy
men, women and children in the State,
and that means lot of them for pedes-
TRANS to dodge, and for automobile
drivers themselves to pass in safety.
The reckless automobile driver should
not only be fined for his misconduct, but
he should be forbidden the right to
drive. His license should be cancelled

session of the general assembly. The
value of good roads has been given
broad recognition and with such in mind
this State has made large expenditures
for the betterment of the highways of
the State in accordance with a well de-
vised plan. This has meant the imposi
ton of large expense upon the State and
the issuance of long term bonds.
"Conne cticut has an incompleted sys-
tenn of roads which has brought much
benefit and widespread appreciation, but
with the wear and tear and the damag
ing influence of fast moving vehicles the
lack of permanency has come to be fully
realized. With the need of good roads
and the trial which has been given to
those constructed, there has arisen a
just demand for permanency. Other
wise the maintenance and repair account
is going to keep up heavy drag upon
the State resources, meaning practic-
ally a million a year for this purpose
alone"
This is simply cumulative evidence of
the fact that the Vermont policy of road
building is the best yet devised. 1t is
the concensus of roadbuilders opinions
that well-constructed and well-drained
dirt and gravel roads withstand the I'M
usual demands of heavy automobile
traffic better than stone roads. They
are, furthermore, constructed at only a
fraction of the cost of stone or cement
highways. In fact, a great many miles
of highways have been constructed in
Vermont at cost per mile of what it
will take each year in Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New York and other
States to maintain their State roads.
Vermont wants the best roads it can
get for the money which it is practicable
to eXpend. This means roads that will
stand the demands made upon them and
will give the best service. 1t is not to
be expected that the present yearly ex-
penditure in this State on highways can
be decreased, but with the continuance
of this expenditure it is confidently be-
lieved that within few years Vermont
will have better roads than any of the
neighboring States, no matter how
much money they eXpend upon them -

THE SUEZ AND PANAMA CANALS


We place before the Enquirer read
ers this morning interesting data as to
the Suez and Panama canals, believing
that IN its brief and concise form it will
enable them quickly to obtain a correct
understanding of the financial status
as well as to other important matters
alton.
The Suez canal is owned by a stock
company, with shares of stock number
ing 379,241.
Since 1875 the British government has
been the owner of 176, SOP of these
shares, for which it paid $40, $50, 800. d.
Through its holding of these shares
the British government exercises a con-
trolling interest in the Suez canal.
The canal cost about S127, 900, 600, is
103 miles long, about 2S feet deep, and
it takes II hours for vessels to pass
through it.
During the year 1910 the Suez canal
was traversed by 4533 vessels, with a
total net tonnage of 16, 581, 1893, and the
toll charges were $1.30 per net ton for
vessels in ballast and $l.63 for each
passenger II years of age.
The total receipts of the canal COM
pany for the year amounted to $25, l68,
400; the costs of maintenance and oper-
alton to SO, S57, 402; payments for fixed
charges and in retiring capital obliga-
tons aggregated $6,072, 602.
The company's net profits were SIS,
908, 4l9, permitting the payment of a
dividend of 81 per cent on the canal
company's shares.
The outstanding capital obligations
amounted to 1922, 4S4, 544 at the close of
the year 1910.
The Panama canal is owned by the
people of the United States.
1t is estimated that it will cost, when
completed, approximately 1915. 200, 900.
1t will be 81 miles long, al feet deep
and vessels will be able to go through
it, from ocean to ocean, in II hours.
To pay for this canal the United States
government has issued bonds to the
value of $84, 631. $50, bearing interest
at the rate of 2 per cent and $50, 900, DOC
in bonds bearing interest at the rate OF
8 per cent.
The expenditures on account of the
canal in excess of the money received
from sales of these bonds have beer
paid from the cash in the United States
treasury.
A traffic expert report made to ex-
Pres. Taft estimated that during the
year 1915 10, 100000 net tons would
pass through the Panama canal, OF
which amount 1.-THE coastwise trade OF
the United States, now free from tolls
under existing law, was estimated al
l, l60, 900 tons.
The rate of tolls as established by
ex-President Taft is to be $l.20 per net
ton, this being 10 cents per ton less
than the Suez rate collected in the
British controlled canal.
Our coastwise trade being free, the
tolls to be collected from the othel
tonnages, as per this estimate, would
amount to about $l1, 300, 900.
The costs of maintenance and opera
: ton it was thought would not be mor'
than that at the Suez, say 1000, 900
. which would leave more than $1,000,
600. or about per cent upon the entir'
investment of our people.

statistics of the world but appreciates
