Perfection In Railroad Travelling.

Perfection In Railroad Travelling.
Can perfection IN railroad passenger
transportation ever be attained2 Ger
talnlY not, because work of man is never
perfect. and railroad work is human
work; but perfection can be approached
by continual improvements, and, to say
the least, passenger transportation is
nearer perfection now than it has ever
been. In no industry or business has
there been so much money expended and
invested as in the railroad systems of
this country, to bring them as near as
possible to perfection, and it is near sue
cess. Almost perfect immunity from
accident has been secured, and rapid
transportation is an acknowledged fact.
Every railroad corporation of course
knows that their equipments and fur
nishings IN all things have to be of the
best and most approved order. or as a
natural consequence, their line soon falls
into disrepute as carrier, and it's useful
ness IS at an end. While we give full
credit to the great and almost perfect
railroads in the East. we must give great
praise to the wonderful growth of the
railroads that traverse and are continually
opening up new sections of country in
the great northwest. Speaking par
ticularlY of one line extending from Chi
cago to the twin cities of Minnesota,
although comparatively new road, it has,
by making contiual improvements, ar
rived at that state where the travelling
public, speaking of it in terms of I'M
qualified praise designate the Chicago,
St. Paul 6 Kansas City Railway as the
most perfect railroad in the West, and
any one who has watched the growth OF
this road will truthfully acknowledge that
the remark is we'll applied, and the
traveller who has ridden over this road

queer custom. 1t costs six cents
per number, the others but one or
two cents. Large numbers sub
scribe only to the sending of the
Times a certain hour daily. A
carrier delivers to lis reader at a
certain hour, and then takes it
back and delivers it to another
reader. This costs but two cents,
and begins at six and ends at
twelve, noon. So one paper
serves six persons, and the carrier
gets twelve cents and has the pa
per left. A carrier with twenty
patrons makes a good living. And
this is one of the many thousands
of ways of making a living in a
great city, and shows that cities
must grow greater so long as
portion of their people are pros
porous creators of wealth. They
will need the others to serve them
in some way. He saw wonderful
