Work of the Commission.

A chapter of the booklet is devoted to a
description of the activity OF the commits
sion. 1T is not generally known the
booklet says. that the work of planning
and building rapid transit railroads forms
more than so per cent of the work done
by the commission. Out of about $1,000
600 spent annually by the commission,
S65O.0a0 goes to rapid transit work In
Cidentally. il may he stated that the eX-
penses of the Rapid Transit Commission,
which was superseded by the present COM
mission. had ranged from $500, 600 to $780,,
600 a year during the last years of its ex-
istenCe."
Figures on the increase of pa assenger
traffic in the city show that all tTanspor-
tation lines together carry about 1, 500, ,000,-
O00 each year and the present rate of in
crease is between 10000, ,OGo and 10000, 900
year, or from 10000 10 10000 passen-
gers a day This is the description pub
lished in the booklet OF the problem that
confronts the present subway:
The increase in the subway alone has
been phenomenal. In its first year of oper-
alton Q905l il handled an average traffic of
90, 600 passengers day. in five years this
has been more than trebled. To increase
the capacity of the subway so as to handle
this rapidly increasing traffic the commits
sion has ordered various improvements,
which have been made by the lessee. not
ably side doors improved signal system
and additional platform guards to facili-

However, Will Be Out of

and Congestion Increases.
EN0RMITY OF DAMAGE Is
JUST BECOMING KNOWN
Many Trains Are Still Strand
ed in the Nevada Desert
With Hundreds of PaSsen-|
gers Fuming at the Delay,
STILL ANOTHER WASHOUT

Railroad traffic between
Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco was partially re-
sumed last night. Trains
began leaving Ogden for
San Francisco by way of
the Oregon Short Line, the
@. r. & N; and the Shasta
Route of the Southern Pa
cific, while the Overland
Limited of the Southern
Pacific, eastbound, left
Sacramento last night for
Ogden and Salt Lake by
the same route, that is, by
way of Portland. Advices
are that there are a num-
Der of Salt Lake people on
this train, and that there
are scores of others ma
rooned on the desert in Ne
vada, waiting to get home.
1t is believed that it will be
impossible to resume traf-
fic on the Southern Pacific
before Sunday or Monday.

accumulation of fioodwaters between
Battle Mountain and CObre, and the
complete humiliation of the Western
Pacific in Nevada, added demoraliza-
tiOn 10 railroad traffic between Ogden
and the coast. While a thousand men.
scattered along the line in Nevada, are

eastbound traffic is being moved out of
San Francisco over the Southern Pa

The enormity of the damage TO the
