They Will BE Given Out From
This Time Forth.
Without any preliminary announce
ment the transfer check system will go
into operation on the st. Paul City Rail
way company's lines, beginning this
morning. Bills announcing the fact
were yesterday hung up in all cars on
the lines interested, and this was The
only announcement made. Five lines
will be included III the transfer system,
viz: West Seventh and Grand avenue
electric, Selby cable, University electric
and East Seventh cable. The places of
transfer will be Seven Corners and
Wabasha and Seventh, with an agent at
each point. The transfer schedule Will
be as follows:
To Selby cars, west-boupd.
at Seven corners.
From West7th To University electric cars,
and Grand av. north bound, at Seventh
lines east and " abasha IS
bound. To East Seventh street cars.

transfer agent will be placed at Seventh
and WabaSha, and at Seven corners PaSSen-
gers desiring. transfers will notify the con-
ductor and remain on the car until the agent
provides them with the transfer. They will
not be furnished except on the car.
1t will be noticed that the transfer
system obtains only with those lines
that are operated by cable or electricity,
as they alone have conductors. Mr..
Lowry stated at the last council meet
ing that it was impracticable TO issue
checks for lines not yet furnished with
conductors. Until the system includes
all lines. and especially the West side
SyolctllS, IL Will HUI give RcuSIdl SdtlS1dC-
ton, but that inclusion may be expected
as soon as the electric system is COM
pleted. 1t will be observed by the
schedule that a transfer is given from
any electric or cable line to any other
intersecting or electric or cable. For
instance, passenger coming west on
the East Seventh cable may be trans
ferred to the University avenue line
or to the Grand avenue or West
Seventh electric and vice versa. The
University avenue passenger may trans
fer to the Seventh street cable going
east OF either of the electrics going
west. The Selby cable makes only con-
nectionS with the weSt-bound cables at
Seven corners. A person, for instance.
living on Smelling avenue, midway be-
tween the cable and electric lines, may
take the cable to Seven corners, get
transfer slip ana ride back home by the
Grand avenue line for one fare, pro-
vided the stop at Seven corners is not
longer than the thirty minutes allowed
by the transfer slip.
One great advantage Of the transfer
will be to the West side. when the sys-
tenn is general. The Sixth warder may
then take either the Robert or Wabasha
line from home and make connections
with any other line III the city wherever
it crosses.
