UNIQUE RAILROAD HISTORY

Decided Contrast to the

UNIQUE RAILROAD HISTOR

Chicago. March 81 Unique in
railroad history is the position OF the
Illinois Central system in the Hood
territory. Alone of all railroads
operating from Chicago to the South
and Southeast this line has stood mp
without abandoning \ single train
aud with practically no interference
with regular schedules.
The condition OF this Hoe In the
face of total abandonment of other
roads was 4 piece of fortune not 81
much for the Illinois Central. but for

abled hundreds of persons and tons
of freight to reach The flooded dis
trlct by way OF Louisville. Evans.
Vile and Cincinnati
Managers Of the Pennsylvania,
IRig -Four, Monon, Baltimore & Ohio,
Erie and other lines operating from
Chicago through the flooded country
face one of the biggest jobs in rail-
road reconstruction to get their sys-
TENS in condition for travel.
The immense amount of water
covering the roadbed for five to
twenty feet has loosened the rails
- - ,..o-+ oaaa. A,afad tho tracLc
Gravel and sand roadbeds have been
washed away and IN some eases it
| will be necessary for engineers to
relocate the lines Even the rock
ballast of the older roads has disap-
peared and every line must build
practically new railroads.
Tho expense will be enormous and
one of the fears is that these roads
cannot be put in condition in time
TO take care of the big summer
travel.
Freight traffic may be handled
comparatively easily with almost
any sort of roadbed, but for pass
enger trains a greater degree Of
care in operation and in alignment
and ballast is necessary. The pass
enger travel in this district is heavy
and during the spring and summe"
| it is increased in some cases so per
| cent. This means additional trains
and more cars on regular trains.
There must be a general slowing up
| in time schedules and this means
loss of earnings in the slower time
and fewer passengers.
1t is likely that the twenty-hour
train of the Pennsylvania may not
be run over its own rails for some
time, and to operate it by way of
Cleveland or any other line would
mean longer schedule.
This is the first time in decade
that the roads east of Chicago have
been hit so generally. This terri
tory usually suffers less than that
west from storms, snow and extra
ordinary atmospheric disturbances.
Many of the roads not so COM
pletely washed away are resuming
train service in a way. While most
of the service will be resumed, work
will be slow. The Erie gave official
notice that its service was resumed
yesterday. One through train be-
tween Chicago and New York is am
nounced. E.itFt

CURRENCY LEGISLATION

man of the Banking and Currency com.
mittee OF the House Of Representatives
IN the next Congress- is determined to
urge currency legislation at the extra
session which President Wilson is ex-
pected to call. Some of the financial
publications in the East affect dismay
at the prospect of currency legislation
that may be recommended by Mr.. Glass,
! fo- ne is known as sturdy opponent
Of the Aldrich currency plan, and no
one seems to have much idea what Mr.,
Glass will recommend a statement
comes from Washington, however, that
Presidept-elect Wilson has agreed with
Chairman Glass TO hasten the passage
Of currency and banking legislation,
and il Is intimated that until the pro
posed currency measure can be fully
perfected, a bill will be passed contin.

gency currency provision of the law as
it now exists. The currency for this
possible emergency has been prepared
by the Secretary OF the Treasury and
is on hand ready for issue at any time
that it may be needed Beyond this
forecast, no one pretends 10 know any
thing about what Mr.. Glass will rec
ommend, and no one knows whether
President-elect Wilson agrees with Mr.
Glass upon any proposition further than
his agreement with him that the pas
sage OF adequate currency and banking
legislation ought to be FASTENED
Because OF this uncertainty, the ijpau.
cial papers of New York are generally
urging that the special session do not

forecast may be erroneous, for we have
no reason to suppose that new members

ones, or indeed that new members
would know less about the currency

we urge this with the more confidence.

We note that the State Engineer has
given the city ample time to per
feet Its claims upon the lakes which
II bought as 4 water reserve a few
wears ago. There are some things in
that connection that are surprising
First of all. that the city should have
delayed so long in meeting the terms
reservoirs. Second, that there should
have been, as charged by Mr.. Cannon,
the city water engineer, some adverse
influences in tho State Engineers Of
flee that have operated against tho
city in this matter. Surely charges
like this ought not TO be allowed 10 go
as idle wind There should be an in.
vestigation. and the State Legislature
is the proper source from which this
investigation should como; for if il is
true that in the State Engineer g office,
as charged by Mr.. Cannon, there are
adverse Influences at work against the
city with respect TO the utilizing Of
these lakes and the city's title thereto,
IT is altogether likely that similar in
huences. possibly the same influences.
would be at work for the hinderinp Of
other locations and other water appro-
priations. The charges made by Mr..
Cannon are of the most serious char
actor, and if the evils which nc charges
exist at all, they are likely TO have
been exercised in other eases as well
as IN that Of the city. We commend
this matter earnestly To the attention

This brings US to the general PROPOSE
tion as stated by the city water
engineer. That general situation may
be summed up like this: During a por-
ton of the year we have so much
water that the water pipes Of the city
system will not carry it, and the water
has TO be turned out to waste. This
tends TO add to the foods that some
times destroy more or less property,
these floods coming in the main from
sources other than the city water
supply; and whatever water the city
turns out from its supply adds TO these
floods, AT other portions of the year
the supply is scant and the city
needs more than it gets. What, then,
is the lesson' A portion of the year
we have too much water, another
portion we are liable to be short Does
not the lesson Of experience and COM
mon sense; therefore, teach that in the
plentiful season OF supply of water We
should store tho water go that we would
have it for use whom the supply Is les,
sened7 Why should we turn TO waste
water that we are likely urgently to
need later in the season? Is not the
statement of tho question it's own
answer7 Clearly We should in the
superabundant season store the surplus
water for use when It will be needed
later on in the year,
When we add that no city in the
United States has as fair an oppor-
tunity to store an abundance Of water,
economically, TO be distributed by
gravity. as Salt Lake City has, the
case is complete The water that we
use comes clear and pure from the melt.
ing SHOWS in the hills. There is ample
opportunity in the canyons whence we
get this water to store water supplies
in abundance for NIL purposes and
for all timo, even If We had
two million people. Why there,
fore, do we not secure the reservoir
sites, and why do we not begin the
putting in OF reservoir system that
will at once relieve our present needs,
quiet all fears for the future, and be
pattern for those who are to come
after us in the storing Of water suf.
ficient for every possible need'
The Parley's canyon project spoken
OF is Of sufficient magnitude to offer
the solution OF the water question for
the present and for many years to come.
There are opportunities up City Creek
for q succession Of reservoirs of COM
paratively smaller capacity than that
OF Farley s, bnt extremely valuable for
reinforcing our water supply late in
the season. At the head Of big Cot
tonwood there is unlimited opportunity
to store woter in tremendous volumes
with perfect safety. Why, then, DO we
not begin laying out plan of reser-
voirs and making beginning Of the
use OF the canyons for this purpose? +?
Nature has been very bountiful to us
in thus affording rs every opportunity
TO put in great reservoirs with absolute
safety, where evaporation is at its
minimum, and supplying streams of suf-
icient volume TO fill those reservoirs.
Why not make beginning of a reser-
voir system that would be ample. safe.
and surei
