The anthracite coal business is in the
position that the more it pays for
wages and taxes the more profit it
makes. When the miners get an in
crease of wages amounting to nine
cents ton~ the companies add IS cents
ton to their prices When the State
Ievies a tax of l-2 per cent on
anthracite, the companies add 10 cents
a ton to the price, and they keep the
proceeds of the advance in price pend
ing litigation to test the constitution
atty of the claw. The State has got to
prove that the law is all right before it
can get the tax, but the companies can
get the additional price without any
such effort 1t is easy for companies
to pass along any assessment coming to
them to the consumers. Brattleboro

The case of the open season for
pheasants in Massachusetts is still un-
der discussion, according to word from
the office of the Fish and Game com
mission. People are writing in letters,
pro and con, and the commission has
formulated sort of parallel columns
argument both ways.
1t is interesting to note the offset, as
it were, to the very first statesman in
favor of the birds, namely, that they
are to beautiful to be destroyed. In
answer to that the men who like to
shoot things say: "Same is true of
ducks, wordcock, plover, quail, ruffed
grouse and all other species commonly
hunted"
Precisely. And that reply will some
day be held valid. The time is surely
coming when the beautiful creatures
that are now slaughtered without any
offending on their part will be given the
right to live out their free existence on
sea or in field or forest. - Boston Post.

1t is worthy of note that Middlebury
college has taken the same position as
the University of Vermont, and most
heartily endorsed the report of the ed
vocational commission, founded upon the
report of the Carnegie experts which
aroused so much criticism when it was
first issued.
President Thomas, speaking for Mid
dlebury, declares that the first need of
Vermont is to improve her common
schools.
Let's make it unanimous.
Let us have new school law and a
board of eduuation that will carry out
the recommendations of the edu-
cational commission, just as fast as it
is feasible, commencing by recognizing
and reforming the common schools.
Let the common schools teach the 80
per cent of pupils. that must obtain
their education therein, those things
that will help them most in a practical
way, to live useful lives in the COM
munities where they are.
Let us have a school that will edu-
cate the boys and girls towards the
farm and the home life thereon, in
stead of away from both, and away
from Vermont. - Morrisville Messen-

ANOTHER SAND SPRINGS STORY
Porter tainted, Train Stopped for
Some Pure II o

All the passenger trains on the
Union Pacific which have dining
car service get their water here
which they serve. The porters fill
three and four large glass bottles
holding ten gallons each and then
they are compelled to jump on the
train which it is in motion with this
large carbuoys weighing close to
150 pounds. When 1898 went
through today the bottles were fill
ed and the porters were all on
safely with the exception of one
who was new at the job. He did not
get on when the train first started
but waited to get on at the dining
car step. BY that time the train had
speeded up and he was left behind.
When the train was stopped again
ssyEas. clear down by the east mills.
Z Il porter Started on a run with
his bottle but he tainted before he
reached the train and he had to be
carried and another porter car
ried the carbuoy on its final lap.

and new inventions and the like. A
certain Abilene man, who in his
day has run every automobile from
the one cylinder up to the latest
pushbutton type, started to run an
old one lunger that somebody had
dug out of their back shed. He was
perched up in the seat perfectly
confident of his operating abilities,
for had he not run and driven them.
He jerked on the gas and gave the
spark a whirl, a friend pulled the
crank, and chug. ehug, and away
he went. The first thing that he
should hit in his wild career was a
wheelbarrow. He could not stop nor
could he turn to the right or to the
left. The antique crawled into the
wheelbarrow and with final chug
the engine stopped with the car
resting composedly In the barrow.

The fair directors held a very

The daylight fireworks will also be

who have seen this display say it is
marvellous. He will also drop bombs
which will be in exact duplication
of the methods employed on the Eu-

AUTO INTO OPEN BRIDGE
-Four Injured When Car Somer-
saults Into Ditch

A big REQ Six, driven by Hugh
Garvie went into the ditch where
the bridge is washed out on the
Golden Belt road, two miles east OF
Detroit, at 8:15 Sunday evening
Misses Daisy Stebbings and Made
line Nicolay and Mr.. Arthur Dodge
were also in the car and were on
their way to Chapman. There was
no danger signal, light or any OBJ
struction whatever, to protect driv-
ers from the washout. The car was
going about IL miles an hour and
went straight ahead over the 20
foot embankment, turning over end
for end before it landed at the bot
tom about 20 feet below.
Hugh Garvie, who was in the
front seat, had a collar bone broken
and Miss Stebbings who was on
the same side of the car in the
back seat was pinned beneath the
car and had her shoulder dislocat-
ed and back wrenched. Miss NicO-
lay and Mr.. Dodge escaped. with
only slight bruises. The top of the
car was crushed, windshield brok-
en-, and the body badly bent and
damaged. The top being up was all
that saved the parties from serious
injury. There were great many
people driving along the road and
one Chapman party in an auto was
at the scene of the accident imme-
diately and took Miss Stebbings,
Mr.. Garvie and Mr.. Dodge to Chap
man where they received medical
aid. They returned last evening on
the flier to Abilene. Paul Nicolay,
who chanced to drive past brought
Miss Madeline home in his car.
A motorist driving through to
Colorado last week very nearly
drove into this same washout and
when he came to Abilene he called
out Sheriff Hassler and notified
him of the danger and the sheriff
phoned down at once and ordered
lights placed on each side Of the
bridge. And it was only last week
that another party came within a
few feet of driving into the open
Tom Creek bridge north Of town on
the Buckeye road. There was no
obstructions at this washout to
protect drivers from accident.
At the time of the accident Miss
NicoIay was driving and could not
stop the car in time to avoid go
ing over. Clifford Cox of Abilene
who has been working for Frank
Wood who lives near the bridge,
heard the crash and screams and
hurried to the scene. He aided the
party to extricate themselves from
he wreck and drove three of them
@ Chapman for medical aid.

MOTOR NOTES


Holding his foot on the brake
for such a long time that he lost
the use of his right leg for cou-
pie of days was the experience of
certain Wichita man. Not many
Abilene drivers have suffered such
an affliction.
The automobile owner who has
an idea that he will take a little
cross country trip in his motor car,
begins to watch the papers to find
out where the best roads and routes
will be found. He finds that towns
on the Golden Belt laud that road
to the very skies and others on the
Santa Fe Trail are loud in the
praises Of their routes and give
interviews held with motorists who
nave driven over roads, in s-.lich
-thOya. give the impression thai. not
even Fords can get travel over the
road in question, let alone automo-
biles. And so finally in despera-
tion he sets out on his trip prepar-
ed for the worst and finds all the
roads perfectfully lovely with the
exception of few washed out
bridges. Alls we'll that ends we'll.

Henry and Roy Guest Of South
Dickinson have built and have in
working order tractor, which they
use for plowing and hauling ON
their farm. They bought second
hand Ford engine and using this
for their motive power they built
UP the rest of the machinery piece
by piece until they now have. full
ly equipped tractor. When the trac-
tor exhibit was held at Hutchinson
they were there and gathered many
suggestions which they used to an :
advantage in building their tractor.
Automobiles are put to many ana +
diversified uses, even from furnish
ing power to run the washing ma

rather than a means to keep their

clipped from Denver paper: -Four
hundred dollars in cash, hidden in

longing to Abraham Tehlander or
Assaria, Kan, escaped the prying
eyes of ''joy riders who stole the
machine late Saturday night while

was located by Patrolman Charles

renee streets, yesterday morning,
the money reposed safely in its hid 4

Auto owners who find their trans
missiC. gears becoming noisy should
not make the mistake Of filling the
case with the hardest
grease obtainable. What is needed \
IS a soft but very stringy grease with
some kind of a long fiber in 1t.
There are several excellent prepar-
atoms on the market for this pur- c
pose. The heavy. stiff grease is not ii
rood because the bears simply cut s
