three" said a horseman, the other
day. As he is a good horseman, who

In a bulletin recently issued the
Northwestern company figures that the
claims filed and paid, due to delayed
trains last winter, will foot up to
something like $500, 600. In addition
to this the cost of shoveling snow
etc, is estimated at $500, 00O which
Of course is net loss TO the company.
A conservative estimate places the
total loss sustained by the North
western due to the old fashioned

has left the ground the trains into
Lancaster have been making excellent
time, often arriving five to ten minutes
ahead of schedule time.
