M O U N TA IN DEWPowder on daddy’s sleeve is ap t

to cause an explosion.

Bonds of matrimony are a poor investment if the interest is not kept up.

Fleischmanns Jay Kirk, who later became a famous ballplayer, de­veloped tha t strong pair of arms handling the heavy tranks. Wom­en who came to spend the sum­mer a t a fashionable hotel brought large numbers of thinks.

* • «The roaring ’ nineties and the

first two decades of the present century brought great crowds to the hills of the Catskills. There were many famous people. There was but one way to come— b̂y raiL River steamers on the H u ^ n brought passengers to Kingston Point and to other towns which are tributary to the mountains.-

• « •There was no other way to

move from town to town. No one would have driven a horse from M argaretville to Stamford or to Pine HilL The way to go was by train. Andes, 12 miles away, was best reached by the D & N. A child who had not ridden on a treiin would have been a novelty.

• • •Today's children have all ridden

automobiles, but few of them have been on trains. School groups are riding the trains before they quit for the novelty the thing. They take their lunch boxes and are little thoughtful of the days when

trains were king. They take It ride which will never again be :^fered in these beautiful hills.

'The moi^ dangerous miles of an aut<»n6bile trip a re the first from home. We relax caution da fam iliar roads.

I saw a used car lot advertise­m ent recently which said, "good and bad tised cars.” If in the m arket for a used car, believe I would take a look a t th a t place.

I t ’s about time for Ephegenia Puddleduck to compose her ode to a skunk cabbage or something like that: Spring is coming and it is, or used to be, the season for am ateur and other poets, for those who are moved to compose verse about Spring.

The sweet shrill, blasts of the peeper;, small boys refusing to wear rubbers, women getting rest­less, feel housecleaning coming on; P a moving around nervously and when asked, ’’W hat’s eatin’ you?” replies: “Nothin’,” though actually he’s trying to think where in ta r­nation he put his fishing gear.,

* * •There is a feller and his girl

sparidn’ in a car—^holding hands in broad daylight Tliese are cer­tain signs of Spring.

The ruthlessness of modem log­ging is amazing. The loggers go into the forest with great ma­chines, cut and slash. The growth of yoimg trees is ̂se t back a t least a quarter of a centiuy. I d o ^ ^ U w u ld be expensive to use more SifeV *lliis cutting and tearing is what makes many shout “forever wild.” If the ripe trees could be taken out without so much unnecessary damage 1 believe there would be less ob­jection to forestry methods. The loggers are taking an excellent way to keep themselves out of the forests in the future.

Youngsters and others, who would like to* teike a last ride on the former Ulster & Delaware, recently known as the mountain branch of the New York Central, should be about ^t soon.

• * •The PSC told the railroad it

could take off the passenger trains on April 1. Thus it would be necessary to take §uch a ride before that date.

• • *The stopping of passenger serv­

ice m arks the end of an era which started to ease off when model T began to carry passengers in the days before the first world war. Kingston was a two-hour trip in the early cars and on the rough highways.

• • *I t was years and many automo­

biles later before any railroad man could be told the little gas buggies might some day take the trade from the cars pulled up Pine Hill by hard puffing steam locomotives.

• • •In those days the U & D road

operated six passenger trains each way during the boarding sea­son. One train each way was solid Pullman and all the passen­ger trains carried Pullman cars in the summer, except the up mail train and the down train.

• • *'The road made money. All

local passengers rode on mileage boolcs which sold for two cents per mile. A SOQrfnile book was $10., no tax. Neighbors borrowed mileage bpoks of other neighbors! Despite this a considerable num­ber of tickets were sold a t each station for the trains. A mileage book was good on a Pullman, as far as the railroad was concerned. The Pullman company made a separate charge for a seat. As I recall the price from ArkviUe to New York was 75 cents, no tax.

* * *The Grand hotel at Highmount

was said to have been built so the railroad would have more, pas­sengers. Other hotels sprang up all through the range of the Cats- IqUs and made real,money on the si&nmer guests the trains brought.

• • •Train time was excitement in

all the mountain towns. There scores of horse-drawn rigs

a t eac^ station to take guests to hotels and great numbers of hotel guests who came down to greet the newcomers.

* • «The baggage btisiness a t a sta­

tion was a big time job. At

'The railroad took over the stage xx>aches of a century ago. The automobile has taken over the railroad.. Will the air ways jimk the automobiles and we run down to Broadway for an evening show and return a t a comfortable bed­time?

Yours truly,'The Mountaineer
