ton. 1t can be done in many ways,
not by one alone. The new railroad
is the most important, but not the
only means. Look about you and
learn wisdom from the experience of
other towns. What gave Denver her
first prominence? As much as any
other one thing, the shady and well
kept streets. What makes Colorado
Springs? Is il not the Improvements,
the shade, the streets, the pretty
houses? In climate, in the beauty
of natural surroundings, In the seem
cry within easy reach, Las Vegas is
the superior of Colorado Springs.
Shall natural conditions be improved?
It so, let us up and at work. No
man is so pressed for means that he
cannot plant and care for half a
dozen shade trees. There are one
hundred men in Las Vegas who can
this summer plant and care for six
trees each. The aggregate will be
six hundred trees. They can easily
be planted and grown, and in five
years will make beautiful shade, and
the second year begin to adorn the
streets. Let us not delay. Planting
time is here. In few weeks it will
be too late. 1t costs money to erect
large and expensive blocks, but here
is an inexpensive and attractive inn
provement easily and speedily made.

An exchange details the manner
in which lovers of the odd, old and
curious in coins are cleverly defraud-
ed. A man puts in an appearance,
seeks the proprietor of the store, and
informs him that he is seeking rare
coins, passes him a list of specimens
and their alleged value. He also
asks the interested proprietor 10 keep
a lookout, and should lie get hold of
any to keep them for him. Soon an
other party strolls in, buys a cigar or
some other article, and exhibits a
couple of coins, with the remark that
they are pocket pieces. On con-
sulting his list the proprietor finds
their value marked S45 each. Here,
he thinks, is an opportunity for spec
ulation, and after some dickering
the second party sells him the pieces.
OF course No. / never shows up,
and the coins are worth no more
than their face value.

The RAILWAY ACCIDENTS OF 1891.

have cited only thirty-six acct
dents out of several hundred in 1891.
The number of passenger trains in
volved in accidents during the year
was not far from $50 to 900, but the
lumber of accidents was, .of course,
somewhat less, as there were a good
many collisions involving two pas
senger trains each. But those thirty
six accidents are characteristic. The
first great fact that appears is that
twenty-five of the IN might have been
prevented had employees obeyed or
ders. They were not called on to
exercise wit or judgment in alarm
ing emergencies, but simply to
obey orders. Space and time are
lacking to discuss the measures that
operating officers take to maintain
discipline and the difficulties that
they encounter. 1t is enough to say
that this is the most troublesome
part of their duties, and that the
unions instead ofhelping, have made
matters worse. We may hope that
this is a passing phase of trade sun
ionism, and that, as the men learn
more of their proper relations to the
rest of the world, they will discover
that it is for their own interest to
weed out the insubordinate, the in
and the drunken. The next
striking fact is thatnineteen of these
accidents would probably have been
saved by block signals | would not
say unqualifiedly that every one of
the roads on which these accidents
should at once equip its
tracks with block signals and inter
ock all Of its switches. There are
limits within which they |
must work, but it may be said with
out qualifications that it is poor rail.
road economy to operate a road hav-
ng a heavy and fast traffic without
block signals and interlockIng for
he protection of the switches. 1t can
pc proved by the statistics of cost of
accidents that judiclously planned
block system pays in money, and
generally on a crowded road it act
Tally facilitates the movements of

only four paying mines there, and
miners enough for 100, and all other
business in the same proportion.
The title to land is unsettled, and
cheap houses are put up, so that
there may be less TO lose in case they
can't hold the land. When the thaws
come in June it's likely that the
floods will carry off many of the
buildings.

living near them, instead of being

THE DEADLY CoLD BED. If trustworthy statistics could be had of the number of persons who die every year or become permanently diseased from sleeping in damp or cold beds, they would probably be. astonishing and appalling. It is a Eperil that constantly besets travelling men, and if they are wise they will invariably insist on having their beds aired and dried, even at the risk of causing much trouble to their landlords. But, ac- cording to Good Housekeeping, it is a peril that resides also in the home, and the cold s'spare room" has slain it's thous- ands of hapless guests, and will go on with it's slaughter till people learn wis dom. Not only the guest, but the family, often suffer the penalty of sleeping in cold rooms and chilling their bodies, at a time when they need all their bodily heat, by getting between cold sheets. Even in waln summer weather cold, damp bed will get in it's deadly work. It is 8 need- less peril, and the neglect to provide dry rooms and beds has in it the clements of murder and suicide.
