Water Wagon fer Railroad Men.

Rule &c" of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, which prohibits the
use OF Intoxicating liquors ty en-
ployes at all times, is to be enforced
rigidly throughout the entire SYSTEM
Several dismissals from the service
in Pueblo have resulted during the
past week from infractions of that
order, and more are expected at any
time.
The strict enforcement of Rule
&c" is not local, or 1t is not TEN
porary. orders are understood to
have originated In the eastern offices
OF the company, and they are to be
enforced to the minute throughout
the entire system.
No intoxicating liquors of any kind
are to be used by the employees OF
any department during hours of ser
vice. Trainmen are not 10 carry
or drink liquor on any run, and II Is
understood that the best interests
of employees makes it poor policy
for them to be seen entering saloons
at any time, whether engaged in the
performance OF their duty or not.
The recent orders created consid'
cradle interest among the several
thousand employees Of the line in Pu'
eblo, as it is understood that the in
toxicating liquor rule had been al
lowed to become lax and practically
ineffective on various lines entering
Pueblo.
Notices calling the attention of
all employees in the yards, offices and
on the trains to the &C. rule have
been posted, and as a result the water
wagon has been doing an exceptional
business.-Pueblo Star-Journal.

BISHOP STREET
IS THE PROBLEM
The New Law Provides the
Needed Money for
Extension.

The preliminary work necessary IN
connection with the proposed extension
Of Bishop street from Beretania TO the
waterfront, is being done by the Board
of Public Works. and the Territory will
have good idea of the nature Of the
problem that eonfronts it when Super
intendeDt of Public Works Marston
Campbell returns from the mainland in
June.
1t Is apparent that large amount
of money viii be required to recon-
pense the property holders for the i'm
proved realty that lies in the line of
the proposed extension. The financial
problem is believed to have been solved
by the passage of an act by the last
Legislature, the first section of which
reads as follows:
The New Law.
"When private property is required
for public use and no special proyi-
sion is mode for the acquisition there
of. any public land which by law might
be exchanged for such private proper
ty, may with the approval of the Gov
ernor, be sold at public auction in the
manner provided by law and the pro-
ceeds or so much thereof as may be
necessary. used by the Commissioner OF
Public Lands or Superintendent of Pub
lie Works as the case may be, for the
acquisition of such private property SO
required
This law is believed by Superintend-
ent of Public Works Campbell to full
fill all the necessities, as far as the
securing of the money for the Bishop
street extension is concerned, and as
the act became operative upon its APP
prevail by the Governor it can be ap-
piled as soon as is necessary.
According to the opinions of attor-
neys who have been retained by several
of the property holders whose interests
will be affected, it win be a long time
before Bishop street is made the main
artery of city traffic by opening it from
Beretania avenue to the waterfront. Tt
is pointed that the objection of one
property holder could block the work
by litigation for an indefinite length of
time, and there is little prospect of the
relative prices of land being adjusted
to the satisfaction of everybody con
eerned.
