A short time ago newspapers in many
cities where this misinformation is usu-
ally most gleefully disseminated by
those who think 5 cents is the lowest
price at which any one can ride, print
ed this item:
THE threatened street car war in
Cleveland was aveDed today when the
city and the Cleveland Railway Com
pany agreed to raise the fare July ]"
Now there was no threatened street
car war and was no agreement made
to raise fare. Otherwise the item was
correct.
Recent Heavy Expense.
Briefly, here is what really happened:
Under the Tayler franchise grant to
the Cleveland Railway Company. the
rate of fare stands az cents. with free
transfers. so long as the revenue is
sufficient to maintain the various funds
for operation end pay stockholders six
per cent.
During the past year many of the
lines have been rebuilt with the latest
type of rail; car barns the most mod
ern possible, with clubrooms and show
er baths for the workers, have been
erected, more and larger cars have
been put on, and other expenses incur
in the country.
With this great expense. as well as
an increase in wages of conductors
and motoTmen, it was feared that the
revnue for several months would not
be high enough to keep within the
provisions of the franchise.
At present, when a rider gets trans
fer he pays penny. the penny being

Looks Like Northern Pacific

1t affords us pleasure to note
the developments in the north

cldent to the building of the rail-
road from Beach to Carlyle and
Ollie. This road viii serve a rich
farming territory embracing over
loo, 600 acres in Fallon County
and more than that much in Wi
baux County and in North Da-
kota.
The people at Carlyle and Ollie
lived for years in faith and hone
that a railroad would finally build
into their locality and now their
faith is being rewarded and their
hope realized. and we have rea-
son to believe that this same rail
road contemplates heading this
way in the comparatively near
future; so our hand is held out in
congratulations to our northern
friends while we also hope that
bonds of steel will before long
unite us with them. But cvenif
this road should not reach our
town it will doubtless penetrate
toward the southern part Of Fal-
Ion County somewhere. and any
thing that helps to build up any
part Of our county we heartily
welcome.
