JMOR SAYS NEW
UNION DEPOT
Electric and Northern Pacific
Railways

It is being rumored around town
that there are negotiations on foot
for the purchase of a piece OF
property on Third street and Front
avenue for union depot for the
electric railway and the Northern Pa
ciflc. If such rumor has any foun.
dation to it, 1t will mean a great
boom for the town, as such a thing
is badly needed and would be very
much in evidence.
The way things are now a depot
where all the boats and trains leave
would be great convenience to the
traveller and pleasure seeker, who
has to wander from almost one end
Of the town to the other to make the
different train and boat connections
The present accommodations at any
of the docks is not of the best. Not
only that, but after the boats leave
the electric docks they have to turn
around and go to the Northern Pa
cific for passengers. 1t is to b,
hoped that the rumor may be foun;
true and the depot certainty In tn,
near future.

ton with the discussion with regard
to the plans for more adequate treat
ment of pubic intoxication and In
ebriety in New York city now pend
ing before the state legislature or
New York, It is interesting to note
that bill has now passed the state
legislature of Penn. providing
for n state hospital for the treat
ment or habitual drunkards. The
plan now before the state legislature
at Albany contemplates such an in
stltutton together with additional
feathtes which provide for more ex-
tended probation WORK In connection
with ,habitual drunkenness. The
problem is one for both social and
medical experts and both Of these
agree that an institution In which
the habituai drunkard can be sur
rounded with abundance OF light, air
ana outdoor work and where he can
be kept from 9lcoholie liquors for a
somewhat extended period OF time
offers the only possible means OF re-
formation for this class OF persons.
The Agnew-Bates bill providing
these features Is receiving the unan.
inous support OF authorities dealing
with this problem both In New York
city and throughout the state.
