THE RAILROADS.


The refusal of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railroads to
grant free passes to the faculty of the
state school of mines, is in accordance
with their general policy, as stated in
their letters addressed to the trustees
They plainly state that if they should
grant the favor asked it would estab-
lish precedent that they would have
to follow in every state which they
pass through. Each state has a number
of state institutions. and as they could
not discriminate in favor OF any par
ticular kind of institution. thel number
of passes that they would necessarily
have to issue would be enormous.
While the roads recognize the benefit
of the school of mines. and would be
everything to advance its interests. they
found that they could not consistently
issue the passes asked for The Bur
transportation to the faculty when the
members desire to make trips in search
of specimens or fossils, and 1t Is prob
able that advantage will be taken of
the offer, for the reason that Wyoming
offers large field for investigation
and research. The b. A. & p. has Of
fered to issue transportation to the same
extent as the other roads. and the trus-
tees now understand that the faculty
may have trip passes when on an in
veStigating tour.
