Speaking of the Illinois Central's
plan of making its employees stockhold-
ers in the company. President Depew
OF the New York Central says: 1.-The
plan Of organization of employees of a
railway company into stockholders Of
the company is an admirable one. l
have had it in mind for 10 years, and
| have spoken on 1T frequently to III
people. They have preferred to invest
their savings in banks, however. and I
have not had the heart to blame them.
Stocks in railways fluctuate. They are
affected by business. legislation and a
great number of little causes which do
not affect other property. l have never
dared to exert too much persuasion ov.
er our employees to become stockhold-
ers Of our roads, for these reasons In
vestment in railways is uncertain. Take
our Northwest road for instance. 1t
paid for a time dividends OF 6 per cent,
and then dividends went down to two
and a half per cent. It is not easy to
ask laboring men to incur the risk Of
that. I would do all l could to enroll
u men as stockholders, If I could
guarantee to them a percentage ON their
investment equivalent to the interest
on deposits which savings banks pay.
But this guarantee cannot be given"

Wade Hampton. commissioner OF
railroads of the interior department,
has issued his annual report, in which
much attention is given to the subject
of the physical condition of the Un>
ion Pacific. His findings in relation to
this property may be summarized as
follows:
Il was gratified to note a substantial
improvement in the condition of the
roadbed on the main lines. Iron rails
have been almost entirely superseded.
The light steel rails in use for many
years are being replaced by rails of
heavier grade. Wooden bridges are
giving away to iron. bitches and cul-
verts are carefully looked after, and
the ballasting greatly improved. More
attention seems to be paid to neatness
and appearance than has heretofore
been the case. The addition of crushed
Stag has greatly improved the whole
roadway. On the Kansas division
great Improvements have been made in
the way OF the construction of addi-
tional sidings and the enlargement OF
stock yards. The company's contracts
are favorable. The railway company
receives so per cent Of the gross earn
ings of the Pacific Express company"

Pursuant to a call made yesterday,
the city council met in regular session
last evening. Mayor Brown presiding
and all the members of the council
being present. The object of the meet
ing was the consideration of the ques-
ton of running a line from Second
street to the east wall of what is known
as the big basin. After mature Consid-
Grafton of the subject, on motion it was
ordered that the city engineer employ
the necessary force OF men and proceed
with the work.

A~fterward, when sweeping out he II o
ticed that the little wad had the APP
pearance of money. He picked up the
piece of paper and unfolded it. when to
his surprise he discovered that he was
the possessor of a s. bill. Owner can
have same by proving property.
, 1896-12-22

The work of running the line will re-
QUire only n few days. Laramie's great.
est interest in this gigantic enterprise
lies in the fact that water from the
basin could readily be used for power
10 run all manner of machinery in this
power thus transmitted and all the
small machinery of the city could be
operated from the same source, reduc-
ing the cost to n minimum.
ANOTHER RESERVOIR PLAN.
Prof. Wilbur c. Knight of the state
university dropped into the editorial
sanctum this morning and discussed
the reservoir matter in a very logical
and practical way. The plan contem-
plated he believed to be a good one but
he would go further and establish nat.
ural reservoirs at the very sources OF
the mountain streams-resecvoirs that
would hold their water and give it up
slowly during the entire %irrigating sea-
son. Mr., Knight would have a system
Of bitches constructed at the head OF
The Laramie and its tributaries which
would spread the water over a consid-
cradle area and permit it to freeze.
Once started to flow upon the surface
and it would be an easy matter to keep
it Overlooking in this manner forming
huge bodies of ice which would fill the
-, 80 40, ,k,.,,~t, ,,L;.l, ,l, -, .,-
for miles. This ice would not thaw till
very late in the season and then only
in a very gradual name and thus a
natural reservoir would be formed of a
character unsurpassed. Such a reser,
voir would remove entirely the danger
that always attends the presence of a
and farms along the banks of a river.
The cost of such a system would be
trifiing. indeed. After the first con,
struction of a system of bitches, it
would probably not require more than
the services of one man to look after
several streams. An object lesson Is
given in this particular line of storage
in the southern part of town every
winter. when Spring creek freezes and
overflows. filling its banks from one
side of the city to the other with a mass
of ice.
This plan, together with the other
huge reservoir suggested, would fur
niSh moisture for everything and ey-
erybody within its scope.
