THE ST. PAUL's ENTERPRISE
Introduction or Steam Heating of
Coaches---C0mp Cost

Electric illumination TO Follow the
Introduction OF Steam Heating of
Coaches.-.Comparat Cost.
The c., NJ. & St P. railroad, which
| was the first of the trunk lines of the
| west to provide the convenience. comfort
| and safety of steam heated coaches, has
now led the other roads in the introduce
| zion of electricity as q means of illumin-
| ating its coaches. The first trains so
lighted were run last Thursday night.
Two trains of nine coaches each were
started-one from Chicago for St. Paul
and the other in the opposite direction.
Both trains were vestibuled throughout,
and steam heated from the engines. All
the coaches were brilliantly illuminated
by electricity from dynamo in the bag.
gage car-and a novel feature in the
| sleeping cars was an incandescent burner
in every section, so the occupant could
read book or paper while lying in bed.
One hundred and sixty lamps were used
and each furnishing a light of sixteen
candle power.
This is the first time so thorough a
system of electric lighting has been put
in use on railway trains, and the system
gives much better results than that used
by eastern roads. The power is secured
with steam from the locomotive which,
while it drives the high speed engine in
the baggage car, is used to heat the
coaches. Under each car is storage
battery. capable of keeping the lights of
the car up for long time, and which
is called into service when the steam is
not good during long stops, or where 1t
cannot be spared. Enough electricity is
stored in each battery to feed the lamps
for nearly six hours. The little engine
that runs the dynamo is fed steam of sew
enty pounds pressure and at the end of
the runs the batteries are charged up. to
be in readiness in case of emergency.
AS to the cost of maintaining them
compared with oil or manufactured gas.
there is hardly comparison, for it is very
expensive and only put on trains as an
additional luxury. II is claimed to be
from five to ten times as expensive as oil
and requires three men with each train,
and man at either terminal point to
have needed things in READINGS The
trains. however. are safe as there is nc
fire of dangerous sort anywhere back OF
the locomotive.
A peculiar thing about the entire sys-
tenn is in regard to how the coupling be
tween cars is arranged for current.
The wires at each end of the car at the
roof terminate in flexible cable, fixed
with spring clips. so that when they come
together they dove-tail and catch. This
electric system will be used on all the
vestibule trains on the Milwaukee road

No Limitation.

A subscriber in the upper end makes
inquiry whether county organization
does not provide for the number of days
that constitutes session of the commits
sioners. and whether the law allows them
to remain in session as long as they deem
advisable. Chapter "a, section A, of the
revised statutes in regard TO meetings
reads as follows:
The board of county commissioners
shall hold regular sessions for the trans
action of business of the county, on the
FIRST Mondays of December, March,
June and September. and the Sec
ond Monday in July of each year.
and at such other times as may
be provided by law, and may hold special
sessions on the call of the chairman OF
any two members of the said board,
whenever the business of the county res
quires 1t.
From the above it would appear tina,
no restrictions are placed upon the com,
missioners, aud that the law does not
contemplate any fixed period for their
meetings further than the time of con,
vening.

How to Build I'D Your Town or City,

Write about it.
Help to improve it.
Speak well about it.
Beautify the streets.
Patronize its merchants.
Advertise in its newspapers.
Elect good men to all the offices.
Speak well of Its public-spirited, en-
terprising citizens.
If you are rich, invest something; en-
ploy somebody; be hustler"
If you don't think of any good word,
don't say anything bad about it.
Remember that every dollar you in
vest in permanent Improvement is that
much on interest.
Be courteous to strangers that come
among you, so that they may go away
with good impressions.
Always cheer on the men who go in
for improvements: your portion of the
cost will be nothing-only what is just
Don't kick at any proposed necessary
improvement because it is not at your
own door, or for fear that your taxes
will be raised fifty cents.
Encourage outside capital whenever it
seeks Investment in your midst. Don't
oppose it simply because you don't see
wherein it is to do you any special or
particular good.
Don't throw stumbling blocks in the
way of your recognized leaders of public
opinion; they are generally public spir-
tied men and spend lots of time in the
public interest for which they receive no
remuneration.
Don't use rubber stamps on your letter
heads; that is a dead giye-sway on your
own business. on the town and newsps-
pers published in it. Get your letter
heads. envelopes, business cards, etc..
printed in the printing Office.
Never condemn the local paper unless
it is plainly teaching pernicious and un-
patriotic doctrines or has unfairly mis-
used you. If it has dealt with you un.
justly write to it or go into the office and
tell the editor about your case; if he was
wrong and is gentleman he will lose no
time in telling the public about it. and If
he is not a gentleman you will have done
your duty.
Don't let politics get mixed up with
your business; if you are business man
don't lose the help that q newspaper can
give you because its politics are not your
politics, but patronize it if it is at all de-
cent and is not sowing seeds of disloyal-
ty to the state or nation and not teaching
the young vicious habits and pernici Gus
principles; and by all means don't adver
tise to help the printer along; advertise
to help business and the town along.

His Decisions are Respected.

Battle CreekMoon: During the month of
February the Republican state convention
meets in Detroit for the purpose of nominat-
ing candidates for justice of the supreme
court and regents of the university. If
they make good nominations they can be
successful. If the nominees are not popular
and have not good record the success of
the ticket will be doubtful. Although the
state has been shown to be republican at
the recent election, yet there are large
number of voters naturally republican who
do not consider the spring election partisan
one and stand ready and will vote for the
candidate they deem best fitted for the
Office. Among the persons named as a can
didatc for the position of justice Of the
supreme court is Hon. Frank A. Hooker of
Charlotte, now judge Of the fifth district
court. Not better man can be found. lie
has made a splendid record while on the
circuit bench. An able jurist he stands
high with the bar ard all citizens. His de-
cisions are respected. He is very popular
as is shown at the several elections i'm which
he has been candidate, always drawing q
large vote from the opposition as well as
receiving his entire party vote. BY his
nomination no mistake could he made. The
election of the ticket would be thus assured
and in his election the supreme court would
Nc strengthened. There should be at all
times at least one member of the court who
has had experience in the circuit and since
the retirement of Judge Graves there have
been none with that qualification. With
the many other newspapers of Michigan the
Daily Moon heartily endorses the nomina.
ton of Judge Hooker for the position.
