Moffat Road Safes. in the World

Moffat Road Safest In the World.
Plans In contemplation by the chief
engineer and superintendent of con-
struction Of the MofFat road will re-
suit in making that line, when COM
pleted, the safest in the world. Sig
nal systems Of the most elaborate
pattern are to be installed and every
device known to promote safety and
prevent accidents Is to be installed.
In the office Of the chief engineer
1t was stated recently that descriptive
matter and models furnished by the
manufacturers Of railroad appliances
had been received by those in charge
and were investigated. Those which
are known to be the safest and easiest
of comprehension by the trainmen
will be adopted and will be in position
before trains are allowed to run over
the line.
The block system in use on many
Of the big Eastern railroads, especi-
ally in Illinois and New York, which
states are fairly honeycombed. with
tracks, will be built and other appli-
ances added, 30 that the exact posi-
tion Of every train dispatched will be
known at all times at the main offices
of the road.
At points where there Is the most
likelihood of accident, towers will be
erected and will be manned by exper-
fenced railroad operators and signal
men who will take care Of all trains
upon their reaching these points.
Western roads are handicapped by
the nature Of the country which has
to be traversed, but the Moffst engi-
neers intend to bring mountain rail-
road building up to date and the sys-
tenn will be one of the most modern
and complete in the country.

DEPENDS oN TIT pLBLIC.

The editor of newspaper is en- tirely dependent upon the public for the news. Ii all persons and patrons Of the newspaper should take up the idea that some have. thata a editor knows 1t all and need not be told tho news, t would put the aforesaid out of business. The following from he News coy CTS portion of the subject very cIeverly, and should be read by every citizen who has the best in- terests of the community at heart, because ! good news paper Is essen. tial to the best interests ot every community. The News says:
 If patrons want things 10 ap- pear in the paper they should eiYe out the information to some one connected with the office. Many people have : stingy idea of pro. priety that prevents them from tell ing the editor anything. Many other people think the newspaper man knows Ii al anyhow, and there are stlII others who think he k mind reader, | cIair7oyant and a spirituaIistiU medium, anu ought to be "giso" to everyth ng that transpjres. The attract.vencss aud interest ofa country paper Is largo, y dependen: upon It's patrons. When you know anything call up the newspaper man and give Lim the facts
 There is another class, very small however, who expect the aewspa. per to keep the public posted of their doings, tut who Is Easc to give out the news, and then get m. suited because there was nothing in the paper.

 The gravity of the situation de- uands the serious. and We m sbt say prayerful, consideration of tine entire community.
 Some are thinking about f. though there has been TO stampede towards The Times office to sub scribe the necessary funds. in ac. cord with the suggestion made ln this paper last week. In fact, though we had thought that all that would be necessary for us lo do would be to lay the matter be. iore car readers. aud lhe funds would te immediately forthcom- ing, rp to Wednesday afternoon we hai not received single re- sp9use ani hal begun to think tbat our efforts in behalf of lhe helpless children and the good name of our town, were to fall fiat
 IL would have been heavy blow ' to us, had we been compelled to realize that we had been wasting our time, talents and space in an intellectual effort 10 arouse the citi- zens to a aproper sense of thelr duty ia such an important matter. The awful silence was broken Wednes- day, and We arc today proud 10 be able to say to our readers that in addition 10 s250 from Mr. 0. B. RolIwage and s2oQ from Nr. Jas. Russell, the latter conditional, we arc authorized to say that Mr. L. Rollwage will contribute S200, and Judge N. ". Norton will give S20O for this laadabIe purpose.
 We do not wish to call any names, but wo, and every body, for that matter, know that there arc many others, perhaps ten or more, who are well able and ought to ! contribute S2d0 each. We believe that | we can get theIr attention, and get them to thinking about the matter, that they will not hesitate 10 send in their names and the amount tley are willing 10 donate for the education of the children of this city. Let the wives and mothers arouse thelr husbands. Gall their attention to this matter.
 We want at least SIX more s200- subscriptions, but don't wait for these to appear in The Times, but send in your name at once and say what you will contribute. If you cannot afford to give S200. give $50, or sl02, s75, so, s25, or even loss.
 Here we start the list. Let il grow, and grow fast. Don't wait b be asked personally. Let your patriotism, your enterprise and your love foc the little children prompt you in thls matter, and contribute lsberally according 10 your means.
