a Dry RAILROAD.

AhC OAiOi0 ANCWSs uu0St etAS eDONS
caption complains of the "dryness" on
the Baltimore Central trains. the officials
of the road having gone the Legislatures
and Boards of Health one better In not
only abolishing the public drinking cup.
but doing away with the water cooler as
well, much to the discomfort and disgust
of the travelling public. But this is about
on par with the sort of service this road
gives its patrons. especially those south
of the Pennsylvania line. If you don't
believe it, just go to Baltimore and try to
get home in the morning. In order to do
so you are compelled TO get up along
about half past three o'clock to catch
the 4:Io a. m. train, which gives
you nice little wait of nearly an hour
and quarter at Perryville. Or if you
leave Baltimore at Io:I4 in the morning
you can get home here along about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, after another
nice quiet wait of nearly two hours. at
Perryville. This wait at Perryville seems
to be quite an important feature with the
railroad company. as far as the Balti-
more Central passengers are concerned.
as they play it on them to the limit. Itis
a truly remarkable record for fast time
three hours and half for a run of fifty
two miles.-and this. too, on a railroad
system that claims to be one the best
equipped in the world!
We have more of kick coming than
that of no water coolers, but here's what
the News says about the dryness
In the crusade for dry communities,
when fifty miles along the Baltimors
Central Road does not find single wet
village. the fashion seems to have passed
to the railroad itself and in the new steel
coaches which have supplanted the wood
en- cars on this branch. no provision has
been made for drinking water for the
passengers During the recent hot spell.
this inflicted such hardship upon the
travellers that upon several trains petit
tons were circulated among the passan-
gers and forwarded to the Company. de-
manding that some arrangements be
made whereby the passengers could
slake their thirst on the trains.
The hardship is especially felt by those
travellers who have young children to
whom the impossibility of getting drink
of water for three whole hours is some
what hard to explain.
1t is possible that the attention of the
Company has not been called to such
commission in the train equipment. in
which case the petitions ought to accom-,
plish their purpose. If the railroad COM
pany however. has adopted the policy of
not providing drinking water, then some
more strenuous measures should be used
to see that this policy is changed.
Fortunately. there is now in the hands
of the travelling public the means of bring
ing the railroad to terms upon matters of
this sort. without trouble. The law just
passed by the State Legislature creates
Public Service Commission which has full
power to compel any public utility to
provide proper accommodations for the
comfort and convenience Of its patrons.
And in view of the heat of the past few
days it ought not to be difficult matter
to persuade the Commission that drink
of water in a journey of two hours is both
a comfort and convenience.

civil ENGINEER DISCUSSES ROAD QUESTION
Tells Experiences Road Building In Other States And Makes Pertinent Suggestions In
Regard To Local Possibilities In Road Building And Its
Local Need

The good road problem of Chur-
chill county is destined to receive
probably much consideration and
discussion. As stated heretofore it
is largely a financial question and
proper study should be given along
that line. OF the fact that the good
roads movement has become a craze
to a very considerable extent there
is no doubt. A re-adjustment is now
taking place throughout the country
and some common sense is display
ed in the study of the problem, yet
the study of returns on the invest
ments is still very meagre and much
in doubt. A short resume of some
data bearing on our problem will be
given. The Importance of any road
or railroad is measured by the traffic
over it. The following is TO the
point:

The Federated WATER USERS
Met Recently In Denver And
Took Action For Irrigation
Betterment.

This Office is in receipt of the min
utes Of the meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the National Fed
Grated Water Users Association,
held recently in Denver, Colo,
through the kindness of Fulton Fl.
Sears, a member of the committee,
representative of this project
A report of the recent decision in
the case of Baker VS.. Swigert, ct al,
in the United Circuit Cort of Appeals
vas presented by member of the
executive committee. This decision
l. an Interpretation of the powers of
the reclamation service acting under
fhe reclamation law. to levy charges
for operating and maintaining gov
efnment irrigation projects. Follow
ing a discussion of the subject the
Federated Water Users executive
committee passed q resolution de-
olaring that all charges collected for
operation and maintenance of gov
ernment irrigation projects have
been illegal, as has been held in the
case cited, which was brought to Is
sue through the appeal of a water
user on the Sunnyside, Washington,
project. The rights of the reclama-
ticn service to continue the mainten-
ence and operation charge is ques-
toned by the Federated Water Us
ers' Association.
A levy of one cent for each irri-
gable acre within the projects rep
resented by the association was
made and a committee was appoint
ed, including Mr.. Sears, to draft and
make recommendation of amend
ments for the reclamation law
amendments the need of which has
been made manifest by the laws op-
Grafton over a scope of nearly 10
years.
