SOME OVERLAND WORK.
WITHOUT THE BLOW AND BLUS-
TER OF ORDINARY LINES
IT JUST GETS THERE.
The Run OF the Marine Special From
Cheyenne to Ogden Was a Very
Nice One-The Marines We're De-
lighted With the Treatment They
Received-Other Railway News.

While the Overland people are doing
no Dragging about the time made by the
marine special which passed through
this city Wednesday evening, they feel
proud OF the fact that their roadbed and
equipment are such tha. The excellent
employees of the company are able to
equal the speed made by the best roads
in the world. Crossing the Rockies, d
level road cannot be secured, but it has
been demonstrated time and again by the
Union Pacific that splendid time can be
made. When the frs real fast train
crossed the continent-the jarrett and
Palmer special in 1S76-,here was some
elements o: danger in making the run.
OR the reason that the bed was not then
b llasted, the rails were considerably
lighter and there was not the system
which is now employed in keeping ev>
erything in apple-pie condition along
the entire line. s. T. ~Shankland was
he superintendent in those days and
as Bill Allen rounded the short curves
and the bell on the engine began to ring
with the vibration, the superinbendent's
hand would involuntarily reach for the
bell cord. But the marine specials time
was the purpose OF this item.
At 3:37 p. n. the special was turned
over to the Mountain division at Chey>
euIe. and the time at the division points
was as follows: Laramie, 5:23; Raw
Inns. $50: Green River, 12:45 a. M;
Changer, 1:40; Evanston, $40; Ogden,
$40. a stop OF about 20 minutes was
made at Laramie for supper, and stops
had to be made at division points for the
purpose Of changing engines, but in
spite Of this fact the time between Chey>
enne and Ogden was but IA hours and
three minutes, and this. too, without any
special instructions t. make fast time.
When the Union Pacific really wants
to make a crackerjadk run it usually
does it, as witness the feat recently per.
formed by the general managers spe.
cial of 291 miles in 2S7 minutes.
The marines were delighted with the
Treatment they received at the hands Oh
he officials OF the Overland. The cap,
tain expressed himself as no. only
greatly pleased with the splendid equip
ment and excellent accommodations, but
said that he was on this trip making
much faster time than had previously
been the Ease upon other routes. The
Union Pacific will hereafter be the route
chosen.

\ weil-to-do Georgia farmer, writes
Frank L.. Stanton in the Atlanta Con-

dine with him. The merchant was
known for his crankiness and had once
or twice tried 10 shoot people for mag
ined wrongs. The farmer had consid-
cradle business dealing with him, and
they were OIL the best Of terms. How
ever, the farmer always kept a wary
eye on him. Several days after the din.
ner at the farmers house, the merchant
said to him: Il can't account for the

GROW TRADITION.

Several years ~ while in the Crow
country, an old Indian nearly 80 years
OF age related the following tradition to
us, and we give it to our readers just as
it was given to us. 1t runs as follows:
Many, many years ago Sakawarte tshe
Crow name for Great Spiri) came down
to earth near the Saltwater. He looked
around and saw two pillars OF rock.
He then passed his hands over one Of
the pillars and blew his breath on it, and
it became a man. He then did the same
to the other pillar and Vt became a wo>
man. He then said to the a and wo-
man that he would give them one OF fou
things-grass. buffalo, water or ponies.
them that he would go away for a while.
and that they should go down into a
cooley" and think it over and make
wise choice.
After several days he came again to
them and asked them IL they had
thought over what he had said to them
and If they had chosen what they want
ed.
They said that they had.
He then asked them what was their
choice and they said that they had chos.
en- the buffalo, and they had reasoned
this way: II we choose the buffalo. SAX
awarte will have to give us grass for the
buffalo to eat, water for the buffalo to
drink and ponies with which to hunt the
buffalo. Sakawarts, when he heard their
choice, said that it was good. and that
they were wise Indians.
He then told them that they should
take a piece Of an ash tree and make a
low of it and arrows with which to hunt
the buffalo. He told them to take the
e~ntrails and make the bow-strings; that
they should take the feathers OF the
eagle and put them on the arrows and
that they should cut a groove in their
arrows SO as to let the blood ooze OUT
and then the buffalo would die quickly.
He told them to do this and that he
would return to them.
So after a little while he left them and
in the curse OF a day or two he came
again to them and brought with him six
boys and six girls. These he sent out
in pairs, and from them sprang all tho
other people. He then asked them IL
they had done what he had told them to
do, and they said they had.

SAFETY APPLIANCES.

The interstate commerce commission
will hold a very important meeting in
Washington next week. and 1t is ex>
pected that the full commission will be
present.
By FAR the most important question
which will come before The meeting will
be that OF the extension OF time in which
the railroads of the country engaged in
Interstate m must equip their
rains with automatic car couplers. The
ACT compelling railroads to equip their
trains was passed in the closing hours
OF the Harrison administration, after a
protracted and bitter contest. The g
was approved March 2, 1898, and gave
the railroads about five years, or until
January /, 1898, to comply with the law.
The same act provided that the rail-
roads should equip their cars with hand
rails and hand-bars before July /, 1895.
The whole purpose Of this legislation
was to insure greater safety for passen,
gers, and to give greater security to
brakemen and other railroad employees
in coupling and u%neoupling cars. Dur,
ing the five years previous TO the pas,
sage OF the act, the statistics showed
that each year one employe in every 81
was injured.
Before the time for equipping the cara
with hand-rails and draw-bars had ex.
pired, many Of the railroads petitioned
the commission for an extension. This,
.the commission was empowered to
grant, and after an examination extend,
ed the time when the operation OF the
portion OF the action relating to hand.
rails and draw-bars should go into eff
feet July 1, 1895, to February, 1896.
The commission is now beginning to
receive petitions asking for an extension
Of the time in which the other sections
q the act, providing for automatic coup
lers and tnain-brakes, shall go into effect
and before January LIST they must decide
an important question. The railroads
ask from one to 10 years longer than the
law provides.
The last report Of the railroads made
to the commission upon their equip.
ment april 1, 1867 show that the pas,
senger trains were almost entirely
equipped as required by law, but that
only about one-third Of the freight
trains and cars had been provided with
the proper safety appliances. The d.
ures on that date showed that Of The
railroads Of the country, 1884 were
equipped with automatic couplers, and
1885, with train brake appliances. Or
the 1919 freight cars, 45S. 40 were
equipped with automatic couplers, and
60.303 with train-brakes. OF the 6,2Sb
freight and passenger. a.
1856 were equipped with the driving
wheel brakes provided for by me act.
Since this report the work Of equip
ping the freight care has gone sbssdily
on, but 1t is doubtful whether more than
50 or go per cent are even now supplied
the safety appliances required ~

Should the commission decide not to
grant an extension, the raalroads who
