COLD WEATHER
AND RAILROADS
EXP LANATIoN AS TO WHY THE
4 TRAINS ARE ALL LATE AFTER
SEVERE COLD WAVE is MADE
BY AN OLD RAILRoADER TO
THE FORUM.

"A sudden cold wave that comes with
such great severity as that we have
been experiencing for the past two
Or three days, gives the railroads a
great deal of trouble" said promi-
nent Northern Pacific railroad man to
The Forum yesterday afternoon.
You may have noticed that almost
every train on our road was from one
to several hours late. Now, this isn't
caused by heavy travel as some are
pleased to call ii, neither Is it caused
by any accident. 1t is caused mostly
on account of the damage that cold
weather does to the cars and tracks.
You see the connections, and by that I
mean the hose that connects the trains.
and the air hose freezes up and of
course it has to be thawed out. Why,
that baggage car there, I'll venture to
say was in trouble more than half a
dozen times between here and st. Paul.
All OF this takes up time.
Then. too, the train has to run
slowly for there is danger Of a snapped
rail. Some say that a steel rail, such
as is used now, isn't as likely to snap
as the old iron rail, but to my mind
there can be but little difference. You
see with freeze OF such intenseness
the earth actually cracks and old moth
err nature is much stronger than even
the steel that she creates. and IL the
steel rail is in the road of that crack
the rail will have to break Go out
onto any country road on morning
after such a freeze and you will see
the ground cracked in a score, yes.
hundreds OF places. Well, sometimes
these cracks take place right in the
railroad tracks and affect the ballast,
just as it does the earth OF the country
road and something has to give. The
engineers all dread such kind OF
weather, for while accidents are very
few. still they sometimes occur, so
they run carefully and keep the clos
est watch possible. These are the
reasons why the trains are all late
these days.
In st. Paul and east OF there
through some parts of Minnesota in
addition to the cold weather there was
a good deal Of snow and in one in
stance in the east a train was tied
up for several hours.

TRACK AND TIE.

j. T. Mckinney, travelling passenger
agent for the Northern Pacific road
was calling on the local station agent
here.
Travelling Auditor Donnelly who is
now located on a western division of
the Northern Pacific. passed through
the city yesterday on his way to the
coast. He was formerly connected
with the Fargo division, and his
friends here were glad to see him.
Superintendent Burt, who assumed
the control of the Fargo division of
the N. p. Sunday is at his office in
the yards over at Dilworth, and has
settled down to the routine business
of his lines. There is plenty of work
on the local division.
Word was received from Superin-
tendent Craver, who left here for the
far west early last week, that he had
arrived at his destination last Friday
night. tired, but feeling all right.
Those who work on the railroads
suffered considerable from the very
cold weather OF the past few days.

the latter. Morrow & Huber appeared
for the plaintiff and Peter A. Winter

run for a distance of over 1000 miles
from the coast to the plateau and the
foot Of the highest peaks. We marvel
at the skill Of the Inca engineers, es-
pecially in the magnificent. stuirways
hewn in the rock, in the filling up of
deep ravines, in the paving with pom
derous flags. In several. places have
been found the remains of former as

Ejx;nu Up the Horse.

If you had a highly intelligent thor,
oughbred horse to which you were
greatly attached, what would you do
for him in order to bring him to the
highest point of efficiency?
Would you teach him, at great incon-
venience and after many repetitions.
to smoke from ten to fifteen cigars a
day, and would you mix with his oats
all the way from a pint to quart of
alcohol? Would you REINFORCE this by
overlooking his stomach with highly
spiced food and add all the narcotics
that were in the market, such-as tea.
Coffee ETC.? Would you keep him in
a heated stable without any fresh air,
make him sit up at all hours OF the
night and permit all the veterinarians
in the neighborhood to; hold consulta-
tons and operate upon him as often
as they needed the money?
And il you did all this, what sort Of
a race would you expect that horse to
win ?-Life.
