ELECTRIC CAR
SNOW BOUND FOR
over TWO DAYS

Twenty-four hours marooned in the
snow Is to be the title Of an article to
be produced by Conductor Flewellyn and
Motorman Soule Of the Waterville, Au-
gusta & Lewiston Street Railway. One
two men left his city at 7.4O Thursday
evening, went as far as John Poolers
place on the North vassalboro road and
got back here at $40 Friday night. That
is was able to make the city at that time
was due to the work of the big snowplow
of the Waterville & Fairfield road, which
was sent from this city and succeeded
in breaking way through to the impris-
oned car. The electrics on this road had
been working under difficulties all day
Thursday. the high wind driving the snow
across the tracks in great drifts which
it was almost impossible to make head
way through and although Motorman
Soule and Conductor Flewellyn expected
hard trip they did think that they
would beable to get through when they
left here Thursday night.
They found the going harder and
harder and when they got opposite the
Pooler place they went into big drift
and found that they could get neither
one way or the other. They tried to
shovel out and some Of the section men
of the road who were on the car took
a hand with the shoyels, but there was
nothing that could be done and there
they stayed all night. In thea morning
Mr.. Pooler invited them in to a good
breakfast and feeling cheered up they
went at the snow again, but could ac-
complish nothing as it blowed in fast
err than they could shovel it out. One
Of them declared as an actual fact
holding ones hand out at arms length
before his face he could not see it, the
snow was blowing so hard. About
o'clock word came that the pillow of
the Waterville & Fairfield had started
on it's way to rescue them. The coal
for the heaters had got low, but they
had been able to get some about that
time and so with resculng crew on
the way and plenty Of coal for a time
the men felt better tran at any time
before in the n hours.
Eut is proved . hard job for the big
p.uw Of the Waterville & Fairfield
and it was nearly six hours making
the three miles to the imprisoned car.
Then ii was I: fight Back to Water
Vile. Tie SHOW would roll up on the
pillow and twice during the return trip
il Went nigh enough to take the head
light off the pillow. But Waterville was
finally reached and a good warm sup
. per. about IN hours rest and the pillow
was off to rescue the cal which was
reported in the snow near the town
farm. Tho car followed it out of here,
both leaving at about 9.11 and it was
hoped to make East Nassalboro at
least. Superintendent Cole of the road
came up from Augusta in the after
noon and was directing the work from
this end. 1t was hoped to make a
hole through to Augusta with the
Fairfield plow and Mr.. Cole said that
the roads big rotary was working out
of Lewiston in an effort to open up
that end Of the line.

Dead Chickens For Easter.

There cannot be anything more at
variance with the spirit of what it is
meant to symbolic or celebrate than
the little, real, dead and stuffe d,
downy chickens put in the collections
of Easter novelties. Many thousands
must have been produced in incubators
to supply this horrible demand. Then
the soft, chirpy little things are
pinched to death by two strong fingers
composing the lungs and "taxider-
med" for the trade. Christ is Risen
COMMUNICATED by cruelty staying the
creature born from an egg, long the
symbol of the Resurrection among
eastern peoples The idea is so gro
tesquely contradictory that an instant S
thought would make anyone pass these
little victims by in choosing a friends
gift. Dumb Animals.

ROAD BOND ELECTION
SHOULD Be CALLED
For Betterment of Roads in This
County 200 Miles Of Pub
lie Highway in Breckenridge.
GOOD ROADS VS.. BAD ROADS

Hardinsburg, KY, April As your
County Attorney, feel it my duty to
say few words to the citizens and tax
payers of Breckenridge county on the
road question, as so much is being writ
ten and discussed as to the remedy fer
our dad roads.
Tons of literature is being distributed
BY the United States Government and
by the several States on this question
and how to build public highways.
After reading carefully all plaus sug
gested, good, bad and Indifferent, and
the different laws in the several States,
and the procedure in the various coun-
ties under the laws applicable to each
State and county, and the many sys
TENS of working our public roads put in
operation by our Fiscal Courts, the
whole matter boils down toone simple
question and propositions: where is
the money to come from to construct
good roads under either of the plans
suggested in all this literature?' Every
citizen should be interested in the roads
of his county. Some are, many others
are not. The majority are "kickers,"
and do nothing to aid or advance the
cause, either physically or financially.
They simply yell Bad Roads," ard
the cause is, graft by county officials,
and that the tax money is not spent AS
it should be. or only part is spent on the
roads. These are facts that any citizen
who cares to listen, hears most every
day.
Is this true? No. We have approx-
mately 1920 miles of public highways
in Breckenridge county, and about
S., 900 (eight thousand dollars from
road taxes to eXpend each year IN the
repair and upkeep of said roads. Any
business man will readily see that to
have good roads, or even passable roads
for any distance in this county, it is an
impossibility. For about thirty years
we have been going along IN this same
old channel, with approximately the
same sum each year, combined with
the free labor, which under the different
systems of road working during these
years, amounted to about the same
thing We have had in these years men
from different walks of life composing
our Fiscal and County Courts, and the
roads worked under many plans. THE
money and labor is all gone and today
the roads are in the same condition"
Is it not time to change the system?
