The promptress and regularity
with which the Lubbock and
Plains mail is being carried de-
serves favorable mention. Since
Marcy Bros. took charge of the
line, more than four months ago,
only few times have they fail
ed to get into Plains by 6 p. M,
and then they were not more
than ten minutes late. The gen.
eral rule has been that they get
in with the mail from ten to
twenty minutes ahead of time,
and we understand the same reg
ularity is kept up on the Lubbock
end of the route. This is re-
markedly good service to be per-
formed with teams and dis
lance of IS miles.

Determination to put stop to trespass-
ing on Pennsylvania railroad property has
caused General Manager S. G. Long, of
the lines east of Pittsburgh, to address to
the members of his staff letter character
lied to redoubIe their efforts to keep
people off railroad property.
In 1907 when 916 people were killed
while trespassing on Pennsylvania rail-
road property, the management of that
company inaugurated a campaign to
educate the public in the dangers Of tres
passing. The cooperation of city and
county authorities was invited, and wide
publicity was given to the efforts the COM
pany was making to put an end to this
evil, which was annually costing so many
people their lives. As a result of the ef-
forts of its officers and employees, reduc-
ton of 173, or more than IS per cent. in
the number of trespassers killed on the
Pennsylvania railroad In 1908 was effected
The railroads activities In this direction
were redoubled in 1909 and again was the
death roll from trespassing reduced to
633, or about IS per cent. This was re
duction of SO per cent. in four years. The
records for 1910 show that $50 deaths re-
suited from trespassing on Pennsylvania
railroad property.
Having succeeded In decreasing the
practice on its lines, the Pennsylvania
system is now preparing to conduct an
even more aggressive campaign during
1912. Tracks will be re-posted with warn
ing notices, the enactment of stringent
laws will be requested and every officer
and employe of the system will be asked
to lend his assistance to decrease still
further the number of deaths resulting
from trespassing on the property of the
Pennsylvania railroad system.
The renewed and diligent efforts the
Pennsylvania railroad is making to stop
trespassing will be measurably influential
the management believes, in arousing the
public to realization that in accidents to
trespassers 1t is the individual who loses
his life, than which there can be no
greater sacrifice.

There is rumor among railroad men
that the officials of the Pennsylvania Rail
road are considering replacing the bridge
across Barnegat Bay from Ocean Gate to

1t is said the great cost of wooden

structure something like Flagler is build

was built, thirty years ago. it has kept a

The Smart SET.

One begins to read the Smart Set right
at the front cover page these days, for
each month the cover illustrates some
clever epigram in a clever way. The
design for February is by R. M. Crosby,
and gives novel twist to Kiplings now
famous line, '"The female of the species
is more deadly than the male" A picture
certain to make popular appeal is Harry
S. Potter's frontispiece. The artist found
his inspiration in the magazines new
department for the revival of the art of
letter writing, "The Trunk in the Attic, A"
and it appears that the real attic of an old
Dutch manor house in New York served
him as a background. The Smart Set
recognizes that its readers are great tray
elers, having received letters from people
who have bought the magazine in the
book shops of Shanghai, Buenos Aires,
Copenhagen and Johannesburg, and so
introduces this month adepartment under
the caption where Shall We Cor" devo-
ted to the seasonable travel resorts
Lovers of poetry will be interested in the
announcement by the editors that the
''Chant Royal of Hack Work, +" by M. K
Powers, in their February issue is only
the second appearance of the chant royal
in periodical literature in America in
many years.

Public Utility necisinna-

The state public utility CO mmission has
decided in favor of the contention of the
township committee of Bordentown that
the contractural relations between the
township and the Riverside traction com
pany, were by virtue of an ordinance, so
fixed that the contract in the ordinance to
the effect that the township comm ttee
and the township clerk must be carried
free while in the discharge of their duties
to the public must be adhered to and those
parties carried free.
This contract formed part of the con-
tract between the township and the old
Camden and Trenton Railway company,
and the commission says that In the pur-
chase of the company by the new traction
company that contract still stands, and
that there is nothing in the anti-free priv
ilege law of 1911 at variance with this
free transportation, for consideration is
given for the travelling, and that travel is
confined to public duty.
Another appeal of the township COM
mittee to compel the Riverside Traction
company to continue the practice of SELL
ing to the township school tickets for
children for cents apiece the commission
denies and dismisses the application.
While the commission notes that it has de-
cided that school children tickets must be
sold at cents apiece or for the reduced
price for which any road has contract
Wit mt sk
does not appear that there was any con-
tractural relation between the old road
and the township to this end, and the new
road is free to discontinue the sale of such
school tickets, which it has done. Iuas-
much as there appeared to the board moth
ing to declare that cents is an unreason-
able fare, the appeal was dismissed.
10 response to complaint filed by resi-
dents of Merchantville, the board has or
dered the Pennsylvania Railroad to take
action which will prevent the constant
ringing of an automatic signal at Chest
nut street while trains are drilling. A
tiagman is stationed at this crossing from
6 A. NJ. to 8 P. M, after which the auto
matte bell is used as a substitute. Com
plant was made that the automatic ring
ing of the bell was a nuisance. The order
takes effect February l, and requires that
when the regular fagman is off duty the
railroad shall station another lagman at
the crossing while trains are drilling. At
such times the automatic gong is to be
turned off The board dismissed another
portion of the complaint regarding the
smoke nuisance caused by engines. 1t
was claimed that this resulted In much
damage to property adjacent to the rail-
road.
