Car Service Associations.

Car Service associations are spreading rapidly
throughout the country, for their efficiency in
securing free movement Of equipment is estab-
ished.,, Occasionally they receive a check, how
ever. That is the fate that has Just befallen the
North Carolina Car Service association The
fifteen railroad companies of that state agreed
few weeks ago 10 organize the association. At
The last moment the Richmond & Danville SyS-
.em withdrew. A meeting was held last week to
lake action, and it was resolved that the aSso-
siation be dissolved, that the executive commit
zee wind up its affairs, and that the manager and
ais clerks be paid their salaries TO May 18th.

In the ROYAL Gorge.

The Rio Grande, says the Denver Ne1US, has a
small army at work in the Royal Gorge, blasting
put the rock to make room for the laying of the
third rail. The work has progressed very slowly
Of late, and in order TO push it, several hundred
there are are now 1000 men at work The COM
pany had hoped to have the the third rail laid
all through the gorge by the time the Rifle
creek extension was completed, but they Will
be disappointed as the work cannot be finished
before the latter part of July, whereas trains
viii be running over the new extension in June.
The Rio Grande will derive no benefits from the
Rifle creek link until they can operate broad
gauge trains, hence the Midland VIII enjoy the
hrSt fruits of the new lire

The Warm Springs Extension.

Ex-Supervisor Livingston has large force of
men at work on the Warm Springs extension of
the electric line, and is making rapid progress
with the new track, which will intersect the
Union Pacific depot line at the Valley house
corner, running north two blocks TO First
North; thence west to First West, thence north
TO Wall street, and thence in northweSterly
direction to the Warm Springs bath house. The
line on Second West street will not be aban-
doned, as some have feared would be the case,
but viii be operated as heretofore, save that
electricity instead of mule power will be used.
Mr.. McCune says it is his intention TO at once
push the new line to completion, and it will be
In operation just as soon as possible.

The New franchise Asked For.

The new franchise asked for by the old com
pany VIII probably be granted save on
First East street, as it is understood
that the Rapid Transit people have a
down pull on quite a number of the
members of the city council. at least in so far
as this street is concerned. The proposition of
The old company to light for five years, without
expense TO the city. the streets along which they
ask the privilege of running is certainly liberal
one and is equivalent TO paying very large
sum OF money into The treasurY yearlY.
