CAR SERVICE IN NEW YORK
is STILL BADLY CRIPPLED
Effort to Thaw Ont Frozen Conduits
Results I'm Injury to Slot
and Rails

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Service on
many street car lines operated by un-
foreground trolley, suspended because
OF last weeks great storm, has not yet
been resumed, although thousands Of
men have been at work clearing the
tracks. The chief trouble has been
found in cleaning out the conduits.
One of the most important lines still
blcckaded is that on Eighth avenue,
passing along the western border OF
Central Park. No cars are running
north of Fifty-ninth street and it is ex-
pected the line will be out of service
for some days to come.
In an effort to thaw out the frozen
underground conduits, gangs of track
men poured great cans of coal oil into
the slot and set it on fire. The blaze
thawed out the conduits to perfection,
but at the same time warped the slots
so that in places it may be necessary
to replace the metal. To add to the
damage the pitch between the Belgian
blocks, being infiammable, burned out
and made a heat so great as to warp
the rails that are welded together.

Item for this road TO be found on the

that at least $500 month be spent fol
this purpose for six months. He said
the most CALLING feature was that $l2.
600 had been appropriated for a road
to Awini, where no one lived. which
was criminal waste of money.
The Governor answered that no an
preparation OF the kind had been made.
With regard to the Awini road the
Governor said, II do not think that
necessarily shows that Kohala had a
greater pull than your district. Any.
how, the mixup between the Counties
and the Territory Is such that | do not
deem II wise to have the Territory
construct any road, particularly with
borrowed money, until the people,
through their representatives, take up
the question and establish definitely
some point of division, and decide def.
nitely just what is to be expected OF
the Counties and what OF the Terri.
tory. So this $l3,500 will not be spent
and thus 1t need no longer gall you"
Vredenburg answered in letter in
which he principally abused the Coun.
ty Act, saying that the sooner 1t was
knocked out the better; And you can
rely on the support of every white man

immigrants through the country where
they are wanted for agricultural labor
and divert them from the cities where
they are Congesting the population and
increasing the squalor of the tene
ments.
From Chicago comes an account o,
the association of about 10000 Iithun
ians, now in that city, to populate prac
t,cally a whole country in the Columbia
river valley in the state OF Washing
ton. These Lithuanians are thrifty
and industrious race from the shorcl
Of the Baltic sea. The scheme is that
each person Of the 10000 making uu
the settlement society shall put in 500
and the Sl.00O,000 thus obtained will
be used in starting industries and lay
ing out farms and towns in the chosen
area which is presumably in the irT'
gated section.
The comment Of an eastern paper on
this plan for taking up lands and cul
tivating them is OF especial interest
In Hawaii at this time when a some
what similar effort is being made By

The principle of combination in
colonies, on a large. scale, has not
been generally applied heretofore
in this country because 1t has not
been necessary. People have pre-.

regarded as social or economic ex.

At last the limit OF practicable
unaided individual settlement on
the lands of the West has been
reached. Properly to exploit for.
ty-acre irrigated plot requires
capital of $500. But through com.
bination'o OF a number OF persons il
may be done for less. Irrigation
OF great tracts in the West will not,
by itself, relieve the increasing
congestion IN our cities, because
the man who can raise, say, but

gated land. The occasion arises for
such organizations as that Of the
Chicago Lithuanians.
Doubtless their entire success
depends on the quality of the bus.

management in such case
