Claims Railroads are Extravaeant

A New York newspaper writer, com.
menting in recent article upon con-
ditions in the railroad world perpetra-
ted the following epigrams, with at
tending observations:
"Opulence begets extravaganza. f1e-
cessity stimulates economy. American
railroad companies have been lavish in
their expenditures upon what might be
called the ornamental, as witness the
erection of veritable palaces as stations
in the larger cities. If the public re-
fuses to provide the money for these
projects, then there will be lull in
improvements of this kind until condi-
tions again change for the better-and
conditions in a young and progressive
country are far more likely to recover
than to retrograde.
A prominent railroad man inter
viewed upon the subject, said:
The paragraph quoted above has
been given wide publicity. No doubt
there are some who, taught by its clev-
er verbiage and yielding willingly to
u somewhat human tendency to cheer
when the sound Of swat ID heard :
whether the blow is justified or not
will echo its sentiment.
But a second thought will be of
some assistance. An analysis of the
writer's assertions will give a correct
Interpretation of the so called 'extrava-
gances' and lavish expenditures which
have their manifestation in the con-
struction of railroad stations which de-
serve to be called 'veritable palaces
"These palaces are public places,
built for public use and public comfort
A railroad station, like postoffice, or
a court house, or city hall is one of
the most democratic institutions in the
country. There the folks of high caste
or low degree meet on common ground,
enjoying the same Accommodations,
sharing alike in the conveniences that
are provided, appreciating alike the
beauties and luxuries that have been
installed if the station be in keeping
with the times.
"No more unpopular place is number
ed among Americas public buildings
than the old, unsightly, dilapidated
railroad station. Persons of all classes
depreciate the continued use of such a
building, and all classes are just al
earnest in their praise when a rickety
passenger depot gives way to struc-
ture of handsome architecture and
modern equipment.

Ten Dead in Wreck of Dixie Flyer

Eight persons were killed outright
and many were injured when Atlantic
Coast Line southbound train No. 95,
known as the Dixie Flyer, went
through a trestle over the Alapaha
river, eighteen miles east of Ocilla, Ga. /,
about O'Clock Saturday morning. The
baggage and exprss cars, two day
coaches and a Pullman went into the
river. Five sleepers remained on the
track.
The injured were transferred to the
Atlantic Coast Line hospital at Way
cross Ca, and the dead were taken to
the towns of Tlfton and Waycross.
According to one official statement.
the wreck was caused by the breaking
of an axle on the engine when midway
of the trestle, the weight of the train
causing the trestle to collapse.
AS soon as those in the rear Pull
mans realized what had happened they
rushed to the edge of the river and
rendered assistance to the victims be-
fore the hospital train arrived. As
soon as possible the injured were taken
from the cars on the bank and in river,
while the bodies of the dead were
brought out and placed along the bank.
The latter placed aboard the relief
train and hurried to Waycross and
Tifton.
The Atlantic Coast Line general SUI
perintendent's Office gave out the fol-
lowing account of the wreck of the
Dixie Flyer:
"Train No. 95 known as Dixie Flyer,
running from Chicago to Jacksonville,
was wrecked on the Alpaha trestle,
three miles south of Alapaha station
on the Brunswick and Western division
of the Atlantic Coast Line railway at
7:2O O'Clock Saturday morning. The
train carried down with it 400 feet of
the trestle. The baggage car was tele-
scoped and the first and second class
coaches and the first Pullman sleeping
car fell through the trestle.

If science makes good its promises
the time may be near at hand when
the world viii not have ste. worry, over
the winter wheat CROP" The happy
farmer may almost be able to grow
the cereal while you wait, at the same
time being assured some independence
of weather conditions and certain and
abundant harvests at a reduced cost.
All this is promised by new scientific
process which has had trial on farm
at Creeksea hall, Burnham on CROUCH.
1t at least produced the most rapidly
grown wheat crop ever known in Eng
land.
The seed planted in the two acres of
land which was utilized for the expert
ment had been previously treated in
accordance with the secret process
evolved by ]. j. Melville, scientist
who for three years has studied the
subject of the vitality of seeds. Sown
on July 10 last, the crop in this two
acre section had caught up with the
wheat planted in the spring and was
in full head eleven and one half weeks
after planting.
"The seed was planted in the ordin-
ary way explained R. ]. Suter,
whose farm has shared in the glory of
this result, both as regards soil and
r.ultivation. Only five days after SOW
lpg the wheat appeared-the usual time
is three weeks-and on the thirteenth
day it was in such forward condition,
the ground had to be rolled. The first
ears of grain was out just eight weeks
and three days after planting. This
new process, ! am convinced, means
that it will not be necessary to sow
wheat in the winter at all. 1t means
too that farmer may wait right up
to June, if he desires, before he puts
his wheat crop into the ground. He
will have ample time to clear his land
practically select his own weather. :"

two crops a year off land" said Mr..

actors. The production will be entire
ly by the students of the college. The
scenery was painted by Mr.. Powell
and Mr. Fletcher of the College Art
Department. 1t has come to be known
that there are no better amateur per-
formances anywhere than those given
by the A. c. students. The work to
be presented this year is one that was
originally given by the Whitney OPP
era company four or five years ago.
1t is a very expensive work and one
that requires good deal of prepare
ton. 1t is entirely new here, both so
far as the text is concerned and the
music. The text is by Stanilaus
STANCE and the music by Julian Ed
wards. The plot is good, as such
things go the time 1866, just at the
close of the Civil war. 1t is very mil
itary i'll character, the scenes being
laid in Virginia at the front.
The first act opens with a view of
Gen. Aliens headquarters. This scene
is entirely new.
The music is catchy and tuneful,
Julian Edwards certainly has given
us some very beautiful light music in
this opera. He is a favorite composer
with the Salt Lake Opera company,
they having presented three or four
of his operas in the last ten years
here in Logan. This is certainly as
good as any of Mr.. Ed&ardss and is
one of his latest. The title of the work
is the head lines of the article. The
little old favorite air, when Johnny
Comes Marching Home" so often
played by fife and drum bands during
war times, unquestionably furnished
the motive for this work. 1t occurs
frequently through this opera.
The costumes are said to be some
that were shown in the original pro-
duction and are very fine. They are
furnished by the Tams' Costuming
Company of New York City. The OPP
era is produced by arrangement with,
and the music and dialogue furnished
by the Witmark Music Library, New
York City.
1t is so entirely different from any.
thing that has been given in Logan,
that the public is showing the great.
est interest possible in the event.
Tuesday night, February 9TH is the
date set.
