WANT GOOD HIGHWAYS.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
According to an authorized statement
of the Chamber of Commerce given to
reporters OF Washington newspapers,
concerning disconrtesy shown said Of
gauizGtion by the members OF the Com
mon Council on the night Of Tuesday,
November 9, 1t appears that either the
intent and purpose of the Common
Council we're misunderstood or some one
knowingly wishes to misrepresent aud
hold up to ridicule the people who are
selected to transact the city's business
and who are working assiduously, without
com pensAtiou, for the betterment Of con-
ditions to the advantage OF all of the

prevented a wreck that probably
would have resulted In the death or
Injury of half hundred sleeping pas
sengers.
The young fellow was without
means and en- route TO Salt Lake City.
He had been "ditched" from freight
and passenger trains so frequently and
regularly that he determined to start
out on foot from Helper, trusting to
luck to enable him to make a train"
and secure free ride part OF the long
distance before him.
1t was a clear, bright night and as
tho tired tourist was crossing a bridge
over Price river. He was astonlshed
and horrl0ed to find a pier washed out
and nothing sustaining the track eX-
cept the long stringers upon which the
ties and rails were laid.
Realizing that passenger train No. 3
from the east was due In short time,
and that an appalling wreck would
follow the entrance on the frail struc-
ture by the swiftly moving train, the
young tramp pulled of his coat and
started on the run back to Helper. A
few minutes later the bright headlight
and its accompanying roar told him
of the approach Of the train, and.
standing on the track. the boy waved
his coat frantlcally and tagged the
train. The air brakes were applied
and. as the train stopped. the boy ex-
planned the situation to conductor. en-
gineer and the train crew.
The train pulled slowly up to the
bridge and an investigation brought
out the fact that the bridge was in a
dangerous condition and would have
gone down under the heavy weight
of the on-rushing train
The train was backed TO the station
and remained there until work train
was sent out to repair the structure
sufficiently to enable the train to pass
over. This required about seven
hours delay.
In the meantime the passengers had
been advised Of the boys heroic ac-
tions In the case, and. in grateful ap-
probation Of his splendid bravery in
tagging the train, raised a fund of
S11 for the youthful hero and young
roadster.
The train crew contributed to this
and the boy-whose name could not
be learned by the Standard-was
brought to Salt Lake and referred to
proper officials of the road. who. 1t is
supposed. will recognize his achieve
ment In preventing wreck In sub
stantial and proper manner.
