In regard to road to the new
depot, [ desire to say thatI agree
chat it is at point very unhandy
and hard to get to; yet, it is very
important that We have a good
road from cDurt square to the de-.
pot.
| agree that the old roadway
down the little bcauch is very un-
desirable for road in it's present
condition because of the water,
which makes it difficult to main
tain even q som blauca of road.
[ agree that to force the public
to go around by the old depot and
then do WI the old railroad dunn o
will make the distance from town
to the new depot much greater;
and, besides, this right of way is
private property and a law suit
between the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and St. Louis Railway Co.
and Simpson, Hudson ct ais is now
pending in Chancery Court, seek
ing to compel the railway company
to retract the old dump to the
Simpson gravel pit. Should the
plaintiffs in the case be successful,
we could no longer use the dump
for highway purposes.
4 agree that in the event tn g
railway company Is successful, !,
this right of way would revert
back to its former owners, w. 4.
Steele heirs ct ais after it is no
longer used for railway purposes
and thus become private property.
L agree that we own a right of
way on the south side Of the old
railroad dump which could be, and
will be put in condition for travel,
which will be alright for those liv.
ing south of Camden, but it would
make the distance to the depot toe
great for people who reside north
east and west Of the railroad.

ARRIVE IN CALIFORNIA
H. N. Kregar Writes of Pleasant
Trip West In Car

Trip West TN Gar
The following letter was received
from H. N. Kregar, telling Of his trip
to California by automobile. Mr..
Kregar drove his car and Floyd Kline
and his mother of Industry went In
their car. They left in November.
We came right on through to Cal
ifornia. Didn't stop in Arizona on
because we were directed on the
wrong road. When we come home
we will 60 through Phoenix, then we
can visit our friends. We know where
to turn of Of the trail now and don't
have to depend on any ones telling
us. It took US 1871 days to come to
Los Angeles and my car ran up the
streets Of Los Angeles just as nice
as 1t did when I left Abilene. We
had three punctures apiece. That Is
all the trouble we had with our cars
but we saw many cars broken down
and pulled out Of the trail in the sage
brush. If 1 had got out Of my car
and picked up all Of the broken
springs I saw on the trip there
wouldn't be a team around Abilene
that could have pulled them. The
Santa Fe trail in places is not as good
as COW trail in Kansas. We all
just loved the trip only when we ran
on a piece Of road that we could hard
" get over. It would knock all the
| 10Y out of things. have a record
on the photograph that Uncle Josh
savs that during the war he thought
1t might be good idea to get some
bees and have some honey SO he
would travel at night while the bees
were sleeping and in the day time
he would camp where there was a
good pasture and the bees would
come in and unload the honey In the
hive. II there is any honey between
the Ration Pass and San Bernadino.

FREIGHT CAR BROKE AWAY
Peculiar Happening Hailed as Some
thing Particularly New in His
" tory Of, RaiIroadino.

The Erie railroad has demonstrated
the practicabillty Of theory that q
freight train may lose a car from Its
midst and keep to its schedule with
its crew in ignorance of their loss. and
Ed Mott. Of Goshen. the local histo'
rian, is happy. .. 49," :.
For a generation, Mott has been tell
Ing folks Of an Erie train that left Sus'
quehanna in the winter Of 1855 with Ii
cars of cattle. At Port Jervis one car
was missing. It had disappeared from
the middle Of the train without leav'
ing broken couplings or other traces
Of the manner Of, its ejectment. Two
days later the missing car was found
in a field near the track at Shohola,
It was empty. The cattle it had held
were recovered in Sullivan county,
New York. They had freed Themselves
from the car and crossed the Delaware
river ON the ice..
Engineer Albert o. Roberts was
driving train to New York last Sum-
day morning. At West Tuxedo ali
brake trouble led to the discovery that
the fourteenth car was missing. The
thirteenth and fifteenth cars had re-
coupled themselves. Search led to the
discovery Of the missing car alongside
the track mile to the north.
The accident Of Sunday was exactly
the same as the one which Mott de-
scribes as Of sixty-odd years ago, ex
cept that the modern form Of brake
caused the loss Of a car to be discov
cred more quickly than was the case
in the old days, when the couplings
were of simple design and the brake.
were operated by hand.-New Have1
