Passenger
Traffic Good
LOCAL TRAVELLING is INCREASED
OVER MONTH OF NOVEMBER

Passenger traffic on the local lines
OF the B. & o. is very good at the
present time, and it is said that the
amount OF travel for this month will
be increased over November Of last
year.
While the number Of long distance
hauls has decreased to some extent
during the last few weeks the local
tickets sold has more. than made up
for this deficit.
Two reasons may be given for the
increase of local traffic. One Is the
failure of the traction car company
to provide sufficient current for the
operation of their cars which has
made the necessity for railroad traf-
fic greater. The other is that many
of the miners In this section OF the
