FRIDAY. DEC. 10. 1897.

Two weeks ago the TELEGRAM
editorially alluded to certain rail
road difficulties here that were
being adjusted through the me
dunn OF the courts. There had
been so much said about the
Short Line railroad-so much
that was not only misleading.
but absolutely false. that we felt
it our duty to give the public the
facts regarding the case. so far
as q careful survey of the situa-
ton had revealed them to us.
We asserted that all the hue and
cry that had been raised about
the Town Council and the stock
holders who propose to build the
Elk bridge, being enemies OF the
Short Line was entirely ground
less. The Council had taken a
broad view of the situation and
had impartlauy considered all the
interests Of the public, as well as
the conflicting claims of the cor
porations. The B. & o., in
changing their station, had made
a new street and a bridge across
Elk necessity. The county
having refused to act on the
bridge matter, a company was
organized to build it. Some time
last May the City Council, after
a great deal of planning and sur
veying, decided that the bridge
must not interfere with the build.
ing of the Short Line, nor should
the Short Line obstruct the
bridge. That in order to protect
the lives of the people the bridge
must go over the railroad
Neither the bridge nor the other
interested parties got what they
wanted The Council made them
give and take" The bridge
was ordered to go higher and the
railroad a little lower. The Short
Line was given a right of way
through the city practically up
to the very place they located
their track ia the midnight
hour Everybody seemed salts
fed. Ali the improvements that
had been projected were to go
on. That was what everybody
wanted and what the TELEGRAM
advocated all the time. All was
serene until the midnight raid
The officials of the Short Line
had been so well treated by the
press. by the voters, by the
Council and by everybody that
they evidently concluded they
could run their tracks anywhere
they pleased. That they could
take any street, obstruct any
public Improvement, and go pell.
nell through any private prop.
erty regardless of any ordinances
or laws. This, Of course, was a
mistake on the part of the rail
road officials. Even the right
eous have to obey the laws of our
country. 1t was, as circumstanc-
ss afterward proved, a dangerous
step that the Short Line officials
took, one that vas not approved
by the capitalist away from here
who were putting their money
into the enterprise. The Town
and everybody interested is to be
congratulated that these men of
wealth did not abandon the field
and give up the work. When
their representatives came upon
the scene the atmosphere
changed. 1t was soon found that
the Short Line was not being
opposed by either property own
ers or Council. That the line
through town given the road last
May was all that could have been
desired. A compromise is soon
arranged. The railroad officials
agree to move back on the line
originally given them-where
they could have gone any time
after May, 1897. The main feat
nres of the agreement can b.
found elsewhere in this issue
