WASHOUTS
ON RAILROADS
AND HIGHWAYS
Train Service Interrupted
Thursday and Some
Roads impossible

June floods that stop railroad
tomobiles are rare happenings in
northern New England, but eight
inches of rain in June is even rarer
and is the primary cause of all the
trouble on the railroads and high
ways. The railways in this sec
tion were hit hard, but quickly re-
paired all damages to their road
bed and traffic got back to nor
NAL Friday.
The worst washout was on the
Maine Central near Hazen's where
there was a break in the road
about 80 feet long and nearly
eight feet deep. Trains were car
ried by here Thursday afternoon
and evening.
Three divisions of the Boston
and Maine had their service inter
rupted because of small washouts
at Newbury, Pike and Littleton.
The Newbury washout was rene
died during the day and the day
trains carried by. At Pike the
washout compelled all the through
trains to detour via White River
junction. The "air line" north
was delayed the most, arriving in
St Johnsbury nearly four hours
behind its regular schedule. The
Boston papers missed all connec-
tions and arrived in St. Johnsbury
on the night train Friday morning.
The Connecticut river highway
became impa ssable for automo-
biles early Thursday morning be-
cause of a bad break in the road
in Ryegate The few that tried to
make the journey between Woods
vile and st. Johnsbury were OBJ
liged to detour through Ryegate
corner and up over the hill roads
that were all badly washed by the
heavy rains.
On the meadows around New
bury many acres of corn, potatoes
and new mown hay is under water
and considerable damage has been
done to the crops in one of the
most fertile spots in the state.
Everything considered the rail
roads consider themselves fortu-
nate to have had no accidents at
time when their loadbed was so
weakened by the heavy rains.

EDITOR TELLS
BEAUTIES OF
NO. VERMONT
Interesting Account of Re-
cent Trip of Newspap-
er Men to St. J.

Editor J. l.. Southwick of the
Burlington Free Press, one of the
best known and cleverest of Yer
mont's editors, has the following
interesting account of his recent
visit to St. Johnsbury and through
Essex and Orleans counties as d
member of the party of Vermont
editos:
The annual summer outing of
the Vermont Press association is
intended to be a call from rabor
to refreshment," yet it affords an
excellent opportunity to make Il
survey of the States physical con-
ditions, particularly our roads. In
cidentally it gives the scribes a
chance to enjoy Vermonts beauty
spots anew and to note chances
for improvement, politically as
we'll as otherwise.
We take up the matter of roads
first, because that was the first
topic to force itself upon the at
tention of the tourists. On this
tour we saw our roads at their
worst as we'll as their best. The
prolonged rains had shown conclu-
sively what kinds of roads "stood
up. We also saw towns at their
worst as well as their best as to
the care of roads. You did not
need to be told when you crossed
some boundaries.
The tour as a whole emphasized
the fact that in the final analysis
it matters most not of what mat
erial a road is constructed but how
it is maintained. We saw hard
surface roads on the ragged
edge, gravel roads fiattened, rut-
ted and spoiled, as well as narrow
mountain roads of native soil that
were a genuine JOY as compared
with the valley mudways.
To begin at home the same de-
luging rains fell on South Buling-
ton and Williston, yet when the
tourists from this region started
out Thursday morning, you would
not have supposed you were in
the same country from the criter-
ion of roads. Going through South
Burlington the auto occasionally
touched bottom, Judging from the
bumps. As a rule, however, the
boat was floating on a sea of mud,
almost hub deep. And yet only a

HORSE KILLED
BY TRAIN AT
CONCORD
Clarence Williams, the
Driver, Had Narrow
Escape

Clarence Williams, a sixteen
year old Concord Corner lad, had
an experience Thursday afternoon
which he is not anxious to have
repeated.
As he was driving ID. B.
Cross team over the grist mill
crossing just below Concord vii
lage, he was struck by st. Johns
Dury bound freight train. The
horse was hit in the head, torn
from the carriage, carried a con
siderable distance and instantly
killed.
The only injury to the carriage
was a broken thill and the young
man escaped without scratch, al
though considerably shaken up
and badly frightened.
The freight which is due to
leave Concord about one O'Clock,
was nearly two hours late, and
Williams was not expecting it and
did not hear it whistle.

of the insurgents were wounded
although they were not occupying
the part of the building damaged
by the explosion.
When the surrender took place
the four courts was still in flames.
There were 130 of the Irregulars
in the party. They marched out

ant had issued orders to cease fir

tools at 10 a. M, tomorrow. When
the labor board stepped in to in

over the horizon-hope that the
board would repeat its successful
mediation of last October when t
averted a nationwide strike on the
eve Of the strike. Even as reports
reached Chicago that the shopmen
throughout the country were pre-
