win operate Fruit Express.

AS an auxiliary of the Hartman lines
the Pacific Fruit Express company will
soon take over the Pacific fruit and
vegetable business now being handled
in Armour cars, gays the Omaha Bee.
The cars of the Hartman line are all
new and modern and will be operated
between the Pacific oas and the east
to handle fruit. The company has or
dered $500 cars. Of this total the first
600 are now being received and the
balance is to be delivered at the rate
of 1900 q month. The new cars are
probably the pest that have ever been
put in the refrigerator service. Be-
sides combining the latest system Of
refrigerating they have steel under
frames and other appliances best
adapted to withstand rough usage.
The Pacific Fruit Express company
will be operated independently of the
Union and Southern Pacific roads and
in idle seasons the cars may be rented
to roads and lines In other parts OF
the country.

Steel for Bolts.

The new set of rolls for the mer-
chant mill at the rolling mills is be-
ing installed today, and when the train
starts again it will be on steel bars
for bolts to be threaded in the thread
ing machine, iron bolts not working
well in that machine. The bolts are
headed in the large track bolt ma
chine at one stroke and are well nigh
perfect when they come from the two
machines. The bar mill is again at
work upon continuous rail joint and
will continue until the large order now
on hand has been sdisposed of before
the tie plate contract is undertaken.

Has a New Whistle,

George Hunt will have a brand new
whistle on his engine, No. 1881. He
found what had been a good whistle
in the scrap yards at Rawlins. 1t was
brass, the general run of locomotive
whistles being cast iron. Mr.. Hunt
had the brass cleaned up to shine like
a gold eagle, the slight crack
brazed, the fittings made new, and
now has a Hartman standard, whose
tones are sweeter than the most of
the iron whistles.

WORST HE

JUDGE BLAIR HAS EXPERIENCE
IN STORM ON LARAMIE PLAIN
THAT WAS REVELATION.
Was Hauling Freight From Plains
Line Terminus to Tie Camp and
Was Caught by Wind and Snow
Storm That Compelled Him to
Abandon Load and Horses.

Justice David NJ. Blair of West Lar
annie is in the city today, coming last
night for a few days stay. He is now
delivering freight from the western
terminus of the Laramie Plains line
to the tie camps on Douglas creek,
driving a six-horse team backward and
forward between the two points. The
judge relates the experience he n a
fellow driver had a week ago Satur-
day afternoon on the plain.
Eyes Frozen Shut.
When three miles from the Fillmore
ranch, the home of G. L. Wright, the
contractor, they were o%vertaken by
the severes storm the justice ever
noted on the plan, or, rather, the storm
struck them full in the fact as they
made their way toward the ranch.
"Why there was a perfect sheet of
snow and ice the justice said, in mar
rating his experience. 81 have been
on the plain for a good many years,
and never before did | see n that
came carer getting the better of me.
Washburn Throws UP Job.
81 had Arthur Washburn with me.
He was driving a team behind me.
We were compelled to turn some of
the horses loose, and mounting one
apiece, we made our way to the Wright
home. One of my Eyes was closed
and the other was almost, and l had
some difficulty in keeping Washburn
going. He wanted to lie down and get
warm. Reaching the ranch. he then
and there resigned his position and
left shortly after for his home at Ia
coma, Wash, declaring that he had no
use for such storms"
Darkness Closes Down.
Judge Blair says his horses remain
ed in the open all night, but he found
them the next morning and believes
they are little the worse for the ex'
perience. The storm was a most un'
usual one and did not last a great
while. AS soon as the now began tc
blow darkness came on and the men
could hardly make their way to the
ranch, a distance of three miles.

Do WITHOUT PHILIP AVENUE
RAILROAD COMPANY DOES NOT
DESIRE 1T CLOSED.
TO BE NO MORE CONTROVERSY
The News Has it From Reliable Az
thority That the Northwestern Rail-
road Has No Desire Today That Phil.
ip Avenue be Vacated.

Philip avenue will never be closed
for a railway station. Citizens who
protested against vacating one of the
finest avenues that Norfolk owns for
the sake Of a railway station of GER
tain cost, may as well, so far as the
outcome is concerned, drop their case
and save the cost of carrying the mat
ter to the United States supreme court.
The matter is already settled, and per-
manently.
The News has it from reliable au-
thority that the Northwestern railroad
does not desire the closing OF Philip
avenue for their station and that they
would not accept the vacated street
for a station If it were offered Pres
ent plans Of the company, 1t is known,
contemplate either joining with the
Union Pacific in union station or
building, In case the Union Pacific re-
fuses, depot of their own, but in
neither event will the closing of Phil
ip avenue be asked or even considered.
This change of position Is due, it is
said, not to any legal phase of the
question, since the court decisions
thus far have all been in favor of al
lowing the street vacation, but to a
recognition on the part of the North
western railroad company of the fact
that the street closing Is not unani-
mously desired in Norfolk and would
cause undesirable friction among
neighbors in the community.
Trouble over the street closing, the
railroad company is thought to argue
Is totally unnecessary, since the rail,
road needs a station anyway and can
just as easily build it at point where
no street need be closed.
The most that will be asked in any
event, 1t is said, will be the right to
put brick platform across Philip av
enue even with the rails, which would
be, in reality, nothing more nor less
than paving the street.
The announcement that the street
closing is not desired by the railroad
company will bring to an end a Ions
controversy which, 1t now appears, has
been without real need at any stage
A disgraceful little passenger coacf
has been used for more than yeai
as station, waiting for settlement o.
court problem that need never hav,
arisen at all. Many living IL the vi
cinity of Philip avenue protested
against the threatened closing OF tina
thoroughfare and this newspaper, al
stated some days ago, believes tina
their stand was a righteous one.
