SAID WEST RIVER
ROAD LOST S35, 900
Railroad Company Tells Why West
Dummerston Station Was Closed
Argument on Other Side.

In defending its course in practically
abandoning the railroad station at West
Dummerston on the West River branch
the Central Vermont railroad, at the hear
ing in that village yesterday before
Public Service Commissioners Robert c.
Bacon and w. A. Dutton, Attorney Harry
Black of st. Adams, who represented the
road, represented that the branch last
year lost $50, 354 90 and that the West
Dummerston station had not even paid its
pro rata of what income the branch did
receive.
! The petitioners, who We're represented
by Attorney F. W. Gibson Of Brattleboro.
who some weeks ago petitioned the com
mission to have the railroad reopen the
station, representing that the station had
been abandoned practically since Feb. 10,
1914, when Mrs. Charles S. Wilkins re-
signed as station agent.
| The company said there had been an an
nual deficit for the last seven years, max
ing it necessary to adopt policy Of re-
trenchment. The company also claims
that the freight tonnage credited to West
Dummerston IS very low in comparison
with that of other stations on the branch.
but the figures produced BY the company,
/ the petitioners claim, did not include the
tonnage Of freight from the George f.
| Lyons granite quarry a mile south of the
! West Dummerston station, which would
have brought the propoItionate tonnage
well above others Of the stations on the
branch. The petitioners claim that were
/ this tonnage property credited the total
would he over $500 tons a year instead
Of about 300 as shown by the railroad
conn any.
/ 1t was also claimed by the company that
! the passenger business did not warrant
maintaining a station agent and produced
figures to show that in 1912 there were
! /, SOS Passengers who took the train from
there while in 1913 only ] ,639 did So In
f1912 the returns from passengers were
! S5o4.90 and the following year only
lS40S.15. In answer to this last argument
lof the company the petitioners claimed
that many of the passengers rode only to
Brattleboro and that it was unfair to
compare the total receipts from that sta
Ition with those from stations farther up

 It is known that the War depart ment has issued orders to the com mander at the border to check the raids at any cost and if necessary to follow the raiders into Mexico. The agents here of the Carranza and Will la governments have been advised of the intention of the government to keep order and of the determination to follow the raiders into Mexico.
 Reports reaching the Secretary of War indicate that 300 Mexicans have been killed in the past month along the border as the troops. the police officials and the rangers are killing raiders on sight.

SCHOOL FUNDS
 ARE DEPLETED
Governor Strong Asks for More Money for Schools Outside of
 Incorporated Towns.

JUNEAU, Sept. S.-Gov. Strong has written to the department of the interior at Washington, asking for more money for the maintainance of the public schools of Alaska outside of the incorporated cities. The gov ernor has pointed out that with the present funds the school term will have to be reduced as the amount will not allow for a nine months term.
 The $15,O0O allowed by the last legislature from the road fund and the forest moneys, for educational purpcses may be contested in court, but Hf upheld by the courts it will not be enough to care for the schools. The shortage is due mostly to the establishment of eleven new districts.
