An Outside Opinion.

Chicago Tribune: If Illinois were a
poverty stricken region its bad roads
would be excusable If Illinois were
unwilling to spend money on roads
its bad roads would not be excusable,
but they would be logical result OF
deliberate policy.
But Illinois is wealthy, prosper
GUS community, and is not only will
ing to spend money on roads but ac-
tually is spending it freely.
Yet our roads are so bad as to be
a humiliation to state pride and bur
den on the prosperity and comfort Oh
the people.
The reason is a preposterous sys-
tenn grown up under pioneer condr
tons and kept up through political
selfishness backed by public indiffer.
ence and, perhaps, by some foolish
local fear
| The system, if 1t can be called a
| system, Is to make roads piecemeal
| under the regulation of townships
and by about 1000 road commission
! ers. The result is an enormous waste
! of money with the minimum results
Goa FRESHMAN Madden is right when
he declares sss.s first step toward de.
cent roads is the abolition of these
1900 ommissionerships. Tie next
step should be placing the whole
problem of the roads in the hands OF
an expert state commission.
Register and Leader: This exactly
states the case in Iowa. Every state
has the same graft to overcome before
! it can place it's road system upon !.
scientific, progressive basis. Strange
4 isn't it, how every bit of information
/ coming from high authority and based
upon experience joins the unison
chorus in favor of adequate expendi
\ ture and of state authority in the ap-
plication of the peoples money upon
! roads?

Eight Trains on All the Time.

To maintain this daily east and
west service the st Paul" will have
to have eight fully equipped trains fn
operation all the time. Before the
first train leaving Chicago has reach
ed half the dis.an to the Pacific the
second days train will have started.
Before the first train has reached the
California boundary the third will
have pulled out OF the Chicago yards
and at about the same time that the
Pacific Limited is pulling into the sta
tons at San Francisco and Los Ange-
les the fourth train will be putting
out of the Chicago station.
The trains from the coast to CHI
cago, of course. will run on the same
sort of schedule, and as every train
must be held at the end Of each
journey of 1000 miles for painstaking
and minute inspection and for the
renovation Of each car, it will be
necessary for the road to keep TWEEN
ty fully equipped trains in service all
the time, which means that a total Of
about 100 baggage, sleeping, dining
and observation cars will be needed
for this single train.

SNOW SLIDE SLID.

VALDEZ, Nov. 5.-Advices receiv-
ed today from the Mineral creek
district tell of the death of Robert
Martin and the very narrow escape
of three other men in that region
on Saturday as the result of an
snowslide which swept them down
the side of the mountain while they
lay asleep in their tents. The four
men We're camped at an elevation
Of 5000 feet and were carried down
the mountain side to within ten feet
Of the edge of a precipice 1000 feet
in height.
K, S. Drummer was the first to dig
himself out of the slide, which he
did with the aid of broken whiskey
flask which lay close to him in the
wreckage. He was attired only in
his underclothing when the slide oc-
Cured, and by the time he had
worked his way free from the snow
and wreckage he was practically
naked and his hands were severely
cut by the broken flask
Once free, Drummer fastened to
the tunnel where the men had been
at work the day previous and pro-
cured shovel, with which he dug
out his partner. Warren Nelson.
Nelson was buried three and half
hours, and also was without clothes
when dragged from his perlous
position.
AS soon as Drummer and Nelson
could find sufficient clothing TO
protect them from the cold, they
returned to the slide and began
search for John Connolly. who was
finally rescued after he had been
covered by the snow and debris for
nearly eight hours. He was al
most smothered, but was uninjured
otherwise.
The body of Martin was not re-
covered until the next day He
had become separated from the 9TH
ers in the slide down the mountain
and his body had been badly crush,
ed by the snow and wreckage.
The four men were engaged in
work on the Big Four property and
undoubtedly would have escaped I'M
injured had the slide occurred during
the day. for the tunnel is fully
a quarter Of a mile from the spot
where their tent stood
