TRAFFIC. PROBLEMS.
TranscOntInentaI Lines Are Wres-
Ting with Them.

TranScOntinentaI Lines Are Wres-
Ting with Them.
The heavy summer traffic over the
transCOntinental lines has presented sew
eral problems to the operating depart
ments OF both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. Complaints have come
in from time to time from Montana and
Western points that the coast service was
not entirely satisfactory This has been
especially true of the Northern Pacific
since the double daily service has been
abandoned. The augmented travel on the
night coast train out of St Paul has
made longer and heavier trains necessary
and during the busiest seasons the coast
train is often compelled 10 send the bag
gage cars ahead to Fargo and pick them
up on the regular train. after local traffic
has been cared for.
On the Eastern roads, especially the
Big FL ur and Pennsylvania lines, plan
is in successful operation which permits
the operation of unusually heavy passen-
ger and freight trains, with small cost.
When the traffic becomes unusually
heavy, long trains are made up which are
sent out as double headers. In this man
ner the traffic which formerly necessitat-
ed two trains is disposed Of with the cost
of operating but one train crew. This plan
has been considered somewhat by several
OF the Western lines.
reports from Montana points state that
the coast trains lose time in making the
trip out, especially in climbing the noun
tain grades. For this reason they are oft
en- from four to six hours late, which in
terferes with business and is a great in
convenience. 1t is thought that by run
ming night coast trains as double head
ers, the necessity of making up lost time
on divisions where grades are few will be
Obviated. At present, train crews picking
up the coast trains into st. Paul find it
necessary to make the utmost effort to
bring them in on time. A Encouragement
of trains and the initiating of this new
feature in the coast service is regarded
as an immediate possibility.

WAITING FOR WALLACE.
Suddenly Finds Himself an Heir tt
Il Fortune,

a Fortune.
E. w. Wallace, a hveryTnan living on
st. Peter street, was yesterday acquainted
with the fact that he is one of the heirs
to fortune that in 1894 amounted to $21,-
zoo, and has increased considerably ir the
fifteen years that it has awaiting a claim
ant in Philadelphia. Several weeks ago
Mr.. Wallace happened to remember that
to her. In reply he was informed that his
Eastern relative had lied in 1885, Then
the llveryman went to Probate Judge Ba-
lille, whom he induced to send to Phila-
delphia to ascertain If there was not an
estate of some kind left. The reply was
received by Judge Bazille yesterday.
The Philadelphia judge of probate wrote
that Mrs. Margaret Cassidy and Miss
Maggie Cassidy had died in 1888 and 1854,
respectively. Some years after a man
named Barker died leaving the Cassidys
$l055G each in a clause in his will that
he had forgotten or omitted to change
on the death of the legatees.. No claim
ants for the money turned up and for fif-
teen years it has been awaiting for some
one to come along that could prove heir
ship to the Cassidys. In 1888 the court ap-
pointed an administrator to administer
the estate in escheat when the money
would revert to the commonwealth.
The Philadelphia judge wrote that the
estate was still unsettled and that the
Wallaces can have the money by present.

81 guess the most profitable trip this
car ever made for the company. was one
it made a few nights ago."
The speaker was the conductor on an
Eleventh street trolley car.
THE incident happened along about 1
a. m, just as L was making my last run.
There were but two or three passengers
on the car, when a Well-dressed young
fellow, who looked as if he had money to
burn, and with a jag that must have
cost him considerable to purchase, got
aboard. He took a seat back in the cor
ner, and rode along without saying any
thing for while. Finally, after 1 had
rung up the fares of a couple more per-
sons who got on the car, he beckoned
to me.
'Musht be-hic-Iotsh O. fun to-hic

loud enough for all the other passengers
to hear, amt OI-hic-man?

in his pocket and pulling out a IS bill,
which he handed me, 'jusht-hic-keep

Then he made a grab for the cash
register bellcord, and steadying himself
with one hand, proceeded to yank it Wig
orously, making funny cracks all the
time. The other passengers laughed and
encouraged him, and before he grew
tired of the sport he had rung up $435
worth of fares.
Here's you change I said, when he
sat down again. How'd you like it?'
He took the Go cents without a MUIR

he winked at me gravely.

IMPROVING THE LINE.
Great Northern Has $500 Men EN-
pIOyed at This Time.

The Great Northern has at present
$500 men employed on construction work
in Montana. Six steam shoveIs and 700
teams are also at work making improve
ments About three hundred miles of
track is being ballasted and a large
amount of necessary repair work is un-
der way The stretch of track between
1Iavre and WillistOn, Mont, is being
newly ballasted and the work will be
completed by the middle of August. In
the Bear valley alone six new steel
bridges arc in process Of construction
and stone culVerts are being put in to
replace wooden structures, wherever pos
sible. The road bed is being improved
along the sections of track which were
damaged by wet weather last spring and
grades and curves are being reduced and
Strengthened in many places, for the sake
OF additional speed. In several places
track is being laid around hills, straight
e'inG loops and making shorter cut-offs,
doing away with 4 number of strips Of
high grade. The policy of the road, to
Improve and maintain the best possible
route to the coast is being vigorously
prosecuted.

NEW BELT LINE.
Plans for Connection Between South
St. Paul and New Brighton.

ST. Paul and New Brighton.
Plans are being perfected for a new
belt line from South st. Paul to New
Brighton, to develop the packing inter
estS of the two points. Connections will
be made with all the lines running into
South st. Paul and New Brighton, If the
project is successful, and it will operate
in connection with ST. Paul Belt Line
company.
T. NJ. Nelson, president of the st. Paul
Belt Line company. is behind the project
and is in the city comforting with the
lines with whom he hopes to secure a
connection and completing his plans,
which are as yet somewhat incomplete.
1t is the intention to extend the st. Paul
belt line, which now connects with the
Milwaukee & Burlington at Newport,
northwest to a point near the harvester
works, where it would connect with the
Omaha, and from thence westerly in a
circle, cutting all lines coming into St.
Paul from the north. The plan con-
templates the construction of fourteen
miles of track at an average cost of $50,
600 per mile, and its completion would
Sive a line which would make the Twin
Cities one of the greatest live stock mar
kets of the North.
The present st. Paul Belt Line COM
pany is owned by the Pittsburg bridge
works and cost $500. ZOO. 1t opened for
business in 1895 and has not been a pay
ing investment. In 1897 the operating eX-
penses exceeded the gross earnings by
more than a thousand dollars. 1t is
thought that with the expenditure of an
other 100000 the line could be connected
with all the st. Paul lines and would be
a profitable investment. The financial
backing of the company which contem-
plates these improvements will come
from outside the state. 1t will absorb
the present company and conduct opera
lions on a larger and more profitable
scale than before possible.

DRAIN TOO HEAVY.
Alfred S. KittsOn Wants to Escape
From Guardianship.

Alfred S. Kittson, through his attor-
ney, Judge Willis, yesterday filed a petit
ton in probate court for his restoration
to competency and for the discharge of
his guardian. Violet I<ittson, his wife,
joins in the application. The petition sets
forth that Alfred S. Kittson was declar-
ed incompetent to manage his estate on
April 5, 1897, on the petition Of Mrs. Kilt
son, on the grounds that he was person
given to a reckless course of conduct,
a spendthrift and incompetent to care for
his own financial affairs On this show
Ing Mrs. Kittson was appointed guardian.
On June 8 last Mrs. KittsOn resigned the
guardianship and E. S. Durment was APP
pointed. The petitioners set forth that
a guardian is no longer necessary; that
Kittson has reached the age of twenty
six years and the guardianship has al
ready cost the estate about $4,000. The
petitioners say that the remaining prop
erty is worth $4,000 and Will not stand
the drain of a continuance of the guard
iahship.
