Abandoning a Railroad 1 sewing machine repairing. Popp's rl Shoe Store.. West McHenry. Phone ' '62. ' • 46tf (From Lincoln, Neb., Star) intelligent person does not know Although not unexpected, the ac- a" ^nows where he must look to Won of the Interstate Commerce Com- ^ . enlightened on the particular mission, Wednesday, in making a final su^j6Ct. order permitting the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha to abandon its line from Wynot to Coburn in Northeastern Nebraska, means a ruinous blow at one of the oldest sections of the state and what was formerly one of the most prosperous- It happens that news of this action upon the part of the national regulatory body came on the same day that the Lincoln Star received from a resident of Wynot a letter pointing out some of the reasons for the abandonment as well as some of the certain results. The principal reason that the 60- mile railroad has ceased to be profitable, according to the Wynot correspondent, is that commercial truckers have taken away the greater part «>f the traffic which formerly moved over the line, and it is insisted by him that the competition of these truckhas been unfair. This is because they have done hauling at prices which would not enable them to pay on their equipment and put aside sinking funds for depreciation and replacement. But aside from the inconvenience caused by the abandonment of the road, attention is called by the Wynot i man to the tremendous loss of taxes which will result and the general wreckage to ensue. The direct rail-j .road tax he estimates amounts to nearly $100,000, a portion of which will be lost by every county, village and school district through which the road passes. Necessarily, grain elevators, lumber and coal yards will be abandoned, and people will be required to haul their products greater distances to market, as well as to tnick in their supplies. Then there will be further tax losses on lumber, , Coal and other stocks. As a natural result realty and other values in towns and villages will decrease, thus enhancing the tax burden on other classes of property. It Is a sad prospect, but it should occasion no surprise. People want the railroads when they see them vanishing, but apparently fail to appreciate them until their abandonment is threatened. Those on the Wynot line may have made some saving through the patronage of commercial trucks, » but it seems inevitable that this will be far more than offest through additional taxes and greater cost ^.s lh^! result of longer hauls on lumber, coal jpid other commodities. It was a wise man who said that you can't eat ij^mr cake and keep it. Acquiring Background Soine people think ihey can acquire* background by keeping in the fore front. .

Chains Stopped British Ship# There apuear to have been two chains streoehed across the Hudson during the Revolutionary war to keep British ships from going up the river. One was in the vicinity of Fort Montgomery in 17?G. The other was at West Point in 1778. The disappointed humorist was inclined to be rather bitter.. One day he said to the editor of a comic paper: "Hang it all, sir, you sit oa every joke that I submit." "Rut there's a reason," said the unsympathetic editor. " "There always is, as far as you're concerned," snapped" back the humorist . « "And the reason is quite plain," continued the other. "I should certainly not sit on them If there was any point to them!" A Testimonial "The world with all its faults," declared the speaker, "is a good place to live in, and it is doubtful whether any of us could conceive, a better one."
