Announcement made recently that the New Haven railroad would abandon the air line between New Haven and WiIlimantic so far as rassenger travel in steam drawn coaches is concerned means that the railroad is lowing to the inevit- able on various fronts. One mixed trair-combination freight and pas senger-wfll make round trip daily.

 MT. Hitchcock faced the proposition of feeding the 100 hungry passengers. This he did; and satisfactorily, too!
 The travellers dug right in them selves and were of great assistance to the hospitable old gentleman. Even Gus had an apron around him and was throwing hash" with remarkable dexterity. It required hours to feed the hungry ones but they were fed.
 The-train was held at Girdwood for many hours and the passengers made the most of their time taking in the sights about the mining camp and in getting acquainted with some real Alaskans Far from being disgrunt- l led over the delay, the passengers en- joyed themselves to the utmost It was more in the form of novelty and they welcomed the opportunity to per- sonally view one of the oldest and most prosperous mining districts in this region of the Territory.

Quality Of Your
Work and Success
"I::s.
BY LEONARD A. BARRETT

INFLUENCE may secure you a Job
but it Is rot likely Il keep you at
your job. Whether or not you are too
big for your, job or your job is too big
for you depends entirely upon yourself
and not upon your friends.
Steam In the boiler of an engine
will burst the boiler If 1t does not lind
an exit. The very day you become too
big for your job larger job will be
awaiting you. You viii, not have to
look for it. 1t will seek you.
The influence of friendship is very
important factor in ones life. but the
test of ones capacity to rise in the
economic world depends not upon
capacity for friendship. but upon the
ability to get things done The final
question which determines rewards Is
not, "Who are your" but. "What can
you do?"
The quality Of work done proves
ones right to friendship. A friend may
help yOa go the first mile. the re-
mainder of the race you must run
yourself. All anyone has the moral
right to ask for is the opportunity of
a good start. Your first job may be
secured for you by your friends, but
the quality of your work will secure
your second job.
Stand upon your own merit and you
will have nlpntv of friends
