St. j. Train Attire

Tuesday evening oflast week excitement
prevailed on the St. J. and L. c. train,
bound for St. Johnsbury when, shortly
after leaving Morrisville, fire was discov-
cred in the ceiling of the car by James
Harmed of Johnson, who Immediately
sounded an alarm
Harmed, an ex service man, seemed to
be the only one who could think in an
emergency, and under his leadership a hole
was cut through the ceiling and heavy
stream from a fire extinguisher poured
through which soon put out the flane that
was rapidly gaining Roadway between the
ceiling and roof of the car.
An insecure oil lamp tilted sideways had
done all the damage. After the train
started down the mountain, this side of
Walden, the opposite lamp tried to do the
same thing, but was easilyand quickly ex-
tinguished. Conductor Kittridge of Swan
tor was in charge of the train.

BATTERED MILLIONS FOR DOG
How Representative of British Capt.
talists Made Big Fortune for
His Employers.

There is a copper mountain on
Prince of Wales Island, Alaska worth
millions of dollars and is said to be
one of the largest single bodies of cop
per ore in the world, that was bought
for yellow dog"
Years ago a representative of British
capitalists was stalled for the winter
at Fort Yukon and there met an old
Alaskan prospector who was seeking
a grubstake and particularly dog.
When this prospector learned that
the representative of British capital
lists was looking for iron and copper
he bargained to show him a great
mountain of the ore in consideration
for one good dog
The mountain, according to the
prOspector, had been worked by the
Russians in the days when Alaska was
a Russian possession, and several ship
loads of ore had been carried away.
The prospector got the desired dog,
but lost his life while hunting for
game. The British representative,
however, did not forget the story and
later induced his hackers to invest suf-
fcient money to pay the expense of
finding it.
