Saturday, Sept. ~

The Sentinel will not be issued
Monday, that being the new national
holiday, Labor day-a day which
should be sacred to all toilcrs.
The military band last night took
its first lesson in drilling.
The republican primaries are being
held this afternoon.
Hello! Grand Junction people are
now talking to each other over the
wires. Today was hard day to do
business. Ii ushered in the telephone.
and everybody wanted to talk to each
other through it. By noon all the
connections were made and the tell
was merrily iingling every few min
utes. OF course some confusion was
experienced at first, but the system is
easily understood and in a few days
will be running smoothly There are
fifty-three phones in operation in the
city. There is no central office, the
switching board system being used
by means of which connections can
be readily made without the aid of
the hello" girl at the central office.
There is no doubt that the telephone
has come to stay and in time will be
extended to the neighboring fruit
farms. Much credit is due to Mr. 7.
j. Tterney agent for Aspen, Glen
wood Springs and Grand Junction.
He has labored hard to perfect the
system, has been courteous and pains
taking and is undoubtedly the right
man in the right place. In fact the

perjury could not be based upon such

No. 10
Track And Paving

prophets were wrong. Their predictions were discredited
years ago.
There is at the present time considerable dispute among
engineers as to what really is the best type of street railway
track construction. That common in Omaha is by no means
the heaviest or most expensive known, yet it has been adequate
for satisfactory service up to the present time.
The 73-pound steel girder rails are 7 inches high. They
are laid on white oak ties, 6x8 inches and 7 feet long in size
and two feet apart from center to center. Under the ties is
from 5 to E inches of packed rock, gravel and cinders, and
concrete is used to fill the space between the rails and above
the ties to a height of two inches.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-03-28

One OF the heaviest items of expense entering into the cost
OF street railway construction is "track and roadway" That
this part of the entire property is expensive is apparent to the
casual observer, but comparatively few persons realize how great
the account is and what ratio it bears to the total outlay
The average life of a rail used on the Omaha street rail-
ways does not exceed II years. Some last longer; others not
50 long, much depending on the frequency and weight of the
cars passing over them.
When the first horse car track was put down in 1868-69 it
cost about $4,000 a mile. The estimated cost of the heavy con-
struction which the future of Omaha demands is about $50, 600
a mile.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-03-28

quirement has caused the expenditure of approximately 81 ,OOO,-
600 by the Company and its predecessors for paving. The
expense Of reconstruction is greatly increased by the cost Of
taking up and relaying paving. On paved streets where the
improvement is 40 feet wide, the C~ompanys proportion of the
total work is about Is per cent
The Company has always endeavored to carry out the Off
cial orders of the City with reference to track, roadway and
paving: The City has followed a reasonable course and the
Company has not been forced to great expense trying out ex-
periments in various forms of construction. As a result paving
between and along the rails with brick or granite on asphalt
streets was a settled policy in Omaha long before other cities
stopped wasting large sums trying to maintain asphalt over the
tracks. This is not possible owing to the constant vibration
caused by the car traffic.
In closing this instalment it may be stated that the Com
pany, recognizing the near necessity of heavier and more costly
tracks and roadway on the principal lines, is keeping in close
touch with the best practice and development Its engineers
are constantly studying and observing the present and prospec-
tive needs, and the manner in which similar conditions are
being met in the larger cities.
1t is our desire to maintain our tracks and roadway accord
ing to the most approved specifications.

The question of welding the
rails together has been discussed
by the Company from time
to time, but the practice has not
been adopted because Of the salts
faction given up to the present by
the continuous rail joints long in
use.
Lines on unpaved streets and
highways are equipped with 90 and
70-pound steel ct" rails.
The City has always required
the Company to bear the cost Of
paving between the rails. This re-

1hrd-45-pound steel g1rder rail.
Fourth-73-pound steel girder rail with continuous joints.
The first type of construction was used for the horse cars
prior to paving. The strap rail was substituted when the streets
were paved. The 45-pound steel rail was used for the first
electric railways, and for a number of years afterwards. The
73-pound rail of the present has been standard on the local
system for some ten years. Its finish is in sight, and a 100
pound rail is contemplated for the next change.
With each change from lighter to heavier rails came the
necessity of heavier foundations and ballast.
Much of the track and roadway reconstruction from time
to time this kind of work is always in progress was not worn
out and might have suffced for years longer, were it not for the
constantly increasing size and weight of the cars. The first
electric cars were "a feet long. weighed but 9 tons, and ran on
four wheels. They were followed by 25foot, 3Ofoot and
finally by 42-foot cars, the weight increasing to about 20 tons,
and the single giving way to the large double trucks.
The first electric cars were too heavy for the old horse
car rails and roadway and it was necessary to reconstruct the
track at once.
The 2O-ton, double truck cars could not be operated with
safety and comfort to the passengers on the 45-pound rails. 1t
was absolutely necessary again to put in heavier track con-
structon.
When the horse car lines we're being electrified and
45-pound rails were going down on a good foundation OF
crushed rock with concrete between and over the ties to hold
the paving, citizens told General Manager Smith that the
track would outast his connection with the system. These
Omaha daily bee., 1909-03-28

While there is no comparison
between the two types of track, yet
all of the increased expense is not
represented by the improvements
themselves. A large part of the
advance is due to higher prices for
metal, ties, ballast, paving and
labor.
The street railway tracks of this
city have gone through at least four
separate and distinct phases. These
may be listed as follows, the pound
weights being by the yard:

A Norfolk hardware store identified
the knife as one sold here and the
man who sold the knife also identified
the photograph of a crook well known
to the police In Sioux City, as that of
the man who bought the knife. This
was the same photograph identified by
John Fetter as the picture of man
whom he saw on the platform of the
NJ. & o. station here the morning after
the robbery This photograph was Sc.
lected independently by each of these
men, from a group of photographs
brought to Norfolk by detective.

against this man as almost invincible,
and yet in spite of the evidence
against him, the man, when arrested at

Little Dakota Land Open to Entry.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Feb. Especial tc
The News: Two or three years age
there were millions Of acres of land

in western South Dakota, the region
having formerly been a part of the
Great Sioux reservation. The con
struction of two lines of railroad from
the Missouri river to the Black Hills
immense region by white homestead
ers
So great has been the influx of home
steaders that practically every acre
of government land now has been en-
tered. The great scarcity of land in
two homestead entries recently were
made on land lying almost entirely
within the breaks" of the Cheyenne
river. Neither homestead contains
over twenty-five acres of tillable land,
while the persons who made the en-.
tries will each be required to pay the
government for the full 100 acres. 1t
is suggested that the parties who made
the entries must have read an article
recently published under the title,
Land Panic" in which it was pre-
dicted that in twenty years from now,
at the present rate of increase in popu-
lation, the proportion of land for each
individual would not exceed four
acres.
AT any rate the recently occupied
land between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills is increasing in value
beyond the most sdnguine expectations
of two short years ago. At that time
ACCOMPLISHMENTS covering good quar-

ACCOMPLISHMENTS or decided land in that
region report that every homesteader
on a good quarter section OF land is
holding the sGme at prices ranging
from $l5 to $50 an acre for improved
homesteads. Many refuse to even con-
slider offers of $25 an acre.
The government charged fifty cents
an acre for the land, and prior to the
construction of the two railroad lines
across the region two or three years
ago the land found no takers even at
this low price.
