ST. PAUL. Minn.. Mar. 90
Nearly 100000 passengers were

''How do you account for the fact

mock quickly. The gates prevent
people getting on and of moving cars
and falling as they do in the cities
where the gate system is not in use.
III presume we would not be able to
make such record II we did not pro-
tect our passengers with the gates on
the rear platforms of our cars. The
rigid rules under which our car men
work absolutely prevent passenger
from getting on when the car is In
motlon. And still the cry has been
raised. in Minneapolis especially. that
the opening and closing OF the gates
takes too much time and we have
been urged to abolish them. want
to say, right now, that those gates will

to save the lives of our passengers

one of the first things that attracts
the attention OF strangers in st. Pau
is the gates on the rear platform OF
the cars that are opened by the, mo.
tormen only after the car has come tc

Cities. Duluth and Superior, are the
only cities in the country where the
ears are provided with gates
The car men in other cities are
under strict rules but these often are
disregarded. In st. Paul the rules are
lobeyed 10 the letter. For instance,
there is rule that when car has
stopped nj a crossing car coming
from the opposite direction must come
TO standstIll before passing. Many
persons have been killed by stepping
out from behind one car on to the
track in front Of another car. In st.
Paul such an accident is never heard
of. The St Paul cars never pass a
fire engine house without having stop
ped.
Some of the cars running between
the Twin Cities are capable of MAX
ling speed of 75 miles an hour, but
none ever is run that fast. The cars
are always in first class condition and
the women of the Twin Cities never
find it necessary to start car clean

other cities.

FIGHTING THE SNOW.
Hundreds of Men Digging Out Trains
i'm the Mountains.

Sacramento, Jan. 14.-With hum
dreds of men battling with the snow
choked passages of the Sierras in an
effort to keep the railroad lines clear
and bring relief to the stalled over
land passenger and mail trains all the
resources of the Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific companies are being
brought to bear in fighting the worst
snow storm in the mountain districts
in the last twenty years.
In the face of a driving blizzard, the
Southern Pacific tracks in the snow
bound Sierras east of Towle Placer
country were cleared enough last
night to allow the stalled east and
westbound overland trains to proceed
over the division. The snow sheds,
which were damaged by the heavy fall
of snow the last two days, had been
temporarily repaired.
Realizing the. impossibility of fore
ing a passage through snow drifts OF
six and eight feet deep. the Western
Pacific railroad officials last night
ordered it's stalled eastbound overland
trains at Belden and Oroville to re-
turn to San Francisco and annulled
the overland at San Francisco which
was ready to depart for the east.

MUST MASS MEETINGS
 PAY CITY FOR LIGHT?
Political Gatherings When Moon Shines Cause
 Expense

This campaign is costing the city of Bisbee real money. Eyery moon. light night on which there is a po- litical out-o'doors meeting held. re- quires the city lights to be kept burn ing when they would otherwise be turned off This is necessary that the postoflce square be lighted for the speakers. The exact cost to the city is hard to determine since speak CTS vary in verbosity and verbosity consumes time while time consumes light. It was estimated that the aver age meeting required two hours, the lights cost S2 per hour and so the meetings each are costing Bisbee tax payers S4. What is to be done to stop this sinful waste and extravagancee This is the burning question, the light burning question.
 Toward the close of the council meeting last night Alderman Allen called to the attention of his fellow members Of that board that the demo crats of Bisbee had been holding meetings at which the city lights furnished whatever illumination the speakers did not themselves supply. If it were only that lights had 10 be burned at the meetings it would no, matter Lut in order to Illuminate the square where the meetings have been held all the lights Of the city streets had 10 be turned on, and this on nights when Luna casts her glowing and full effulgence upon the citizens of Bisbee thereby keeping down the expense of using juice for electric lights Not only had this been ,lone but 1t will continue until election. More than another month of this ex- travagent use Of city fundsi At g. per hour each meeting was costing s4 Cannot the political parties be made to pay for the city lights when they are used for the especial purpose ol refecting a glow upon the faces of the impassioned speakers and earnest spellbinders?
 The question of putting in another wire was brought up. The game was not worth the candle. A switch with out a wire wouldn't work and the mat fer was left.
 But after all the city is getting val ue for value It does pay for light bat think of the balmy nights that result Besides fl an attempt be made to tax the political parties for The current used in lighting up the festive gatherings would not those paTties have a counter claim against the city, a just one too. for heating the city2 It is true that the city furnishes the light but think of the hot air the speakers furnish m dis cussing burning questions for the edi. fcation and the education of all
