Daily north bound passenger trains
on the st. Paul line, passing through
this city, continue to arrive any old
time, thereby adding insult to in
jury, and at the same time greatly
inconveniencing travel on that
line. How much longer are its pat
rons going to put up with this kind
of service? The railroad commission
is acting rather dillatory or else is in
ignorance regarding this matter.
The travelling public should take
notice that the law in this state now
is that upper berths on sleepers of
railroad trains must remain closed
when unOccupied, or not engaged.
Also railroads are made responsible
for fire losses originating from loco
motives, and in case no settlement is
made with the injured person within
sixty days after proof of loss, the
railroad becomes liable to double the
amount of damage.
Mayor Lamont says it is his pur-
pose to fine automobile drivers who |
persistently drive through the streets |
after dark without their lamps being |
lighted. In one evening last week he |
noticed several cars that were being
driven in violation of this law. If
you get "pinched" blame yourself. |
1t is too late to take action after |
some serious accident has occurred to
life and limb, which is the one pur-
pose of this law. Be consistent and |
act respectfully in the matter.
An old resident of the city, who |
does not care to have his name men,
toned in connection with this item, |
for fear that he will be charged with
being member of Rooseyelt'S |
Annanias club, tells us of weather
freak which occurred forty-seven
years ago this month. He states
that on the night of July Is, 1864,
following a run of mighty hot weather
a cold spell came, resulting in much
damage to crops in this section from
frost. Down in the potato district |
south of here, he says, farmers lost |
most all their vegetables. 1t hit them |
hard, for war time prices were then |
prevailing, with little money on hand |
to buy substitutes for potatoes and |
corn.
