sad news that her aged mother. Mrs.
Nancy Plumstead, had passed away
at the old family home in Wiscassett,

ney after a noble life. She was the
mother Of ten children. eight ofwhom
survive her.
The State OF Maine has lost one OF
its most noble women and the entire

The importance of a city is less
a matter of population figures
than of the mental attitude of its in
habitants. and the Importance of q
railroad is less a matter of mileage.
than where those miles run to and
what runs over them. The Eureka
Nevada Railroad, owned and operated
by John Z. Sexton. Nevada mining
man. is probably the biggest little
railroad in the world, and has recent
ly proved 1t by putting into commits
sion a new gas-operated car as smart
as limousine and as utilitarian as a
Pullman day coach.
The Eureka-Nevada is narrow
gauge and but 80 miles Tong. but its
position connecting Eureka and Pali-
sade. Nevada, is strategic, and at one
time caused Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson to look to his map Of Ne
vada, and wonder how he had over
looked the little red-line running
from Palisade, on the Western Pa
cific, south to Eureka. The contro-
versy between Sexton and the Post
master General over a United States
mail contract resulted in a victory
for Sexton.
Keeping always abreast of the
times. Sexton recently designed, built
in his shops, and put into service his
new passenger and express car. II
weighs $4,000 pounds, carries IL pas
sengers and two tons of freight, and
is 81 feet long. The car is equipped
with a marine gasoline engine, ex-
pertinent proving to Sections salts
faction that automobile engines are
failures for heavy duty. The car has
very smart appearance. and IL
equipped with every modern con
venience-
