. STREET CAR MATTERS.

IN, Valley City Times Record: A cur
ious aud unusual spectacle was
witnessed Tuesday : morning when
a 500 freight car was haul
ed down Fifth avenue and came
to stop in front OF the Opera
house block. The motive power was
the street car motor. The car was
loaded with a mammoth safe for Grim
nell & Co, which was much easier to
handle from a car stopped directly
in front Of the place OF business to
which it was consigned than from the
siding half a dozen blocks away Lest
the presence OF the box car alarm some
people who are afraid that the 500 will
be running trains through the streets
Sof Valley City in the near future itinay
be stated that while freight cars cal.
make the curves between North Val
ley City and the, city proper engines
cannot negotiate the turn at Filth ave.
nue. and Fifth street. 1t will be neces-
gsary to take some Of the kinks out of
the street railway before any Soc trains
are run through the city except with
electricity as a motive power.
