ferential manner, call the attention of passengers to the necessity for obey ing the rules in order to accommodate other passengers. Many times the passengers do not appear to appreci- ate the necessity for cooperation with the officials, and not infrequent- ly the rear portion of a car is seen to be crowded to the limit, while there is abundance of space in the forward end.
 A novel plan pursued in the opera ton of street cars in Mexico City is the attachment of a mirror to one of the standards on the front platform so that it reflects a full view of the rear platform on the side devoted ex- clusively for the entrance of passen- gers. The motorman, by watching the mirror, is enabled to see the mo- ment all the passengers have board ed the car, and start immediately without waiting for a signal from the conductor, who is frequently engaged in collecting fares inside the car and in a position where delay is involved should he be required to investigate before giving the signal to go ahead. The amount of time saved by this device is very considerable.-EX.

NEW COMPANY TO
 SOLVE PROBLEM

Necessity has tcen called the mother of invention, and the mer- chants, miners and residents of the Kusko]iwm river section, driven to the verge of desperation by the tardy lrd irregular ocean service from the Outside to the mouth of the Kusko- ;wlm river, have proposed to form a new company to serve this river It is expected to become a reality by another season.
 The plan is to charter a vcsse' of about ninety tons net capacity, which an accommodate both passengers and freight, to ply between Dutch harbor and the mouth of the river, a distance of about 24O miles, twice a month. All Nome boats pass Dutch Harbor, and will make a very low rate of some $3 to $4 per ton, which will enable the shippers to get a through passenger and freight rate to any point on the Kuskokwim river
 It is planned to have the first sail ing in the spring, about the latter part of May, and the last sailing in the fall, about the first of November or latter part of October. This route will enable Idtarod people to mush across to the KuSliokwim, a distance of some thirty-fve miles, and go Out side six weeks later in the fall, and get back six weeks earlier in the spring than is now possible by the Yukon river. A wagon road from the Nuskokwim to Iditarod would make the plan available in bringing reduc- ed transportation charges to the peo-

STREET CAR TRAFFIC
 IN MEXICO CITY

The difference in the manner with which street car passengers are treat ed in Mexico and in the United States is remarked by every one who has had personal experience in this direction. In too many American cities conduct ors of surface, subway and elevated cars or trains are as a rule brusque, to say the least, in their manners. Passengers are ordered in most per emptory manner to "Move up in front" "Step lively there" Get off the platform" etc. They are often, too, man-handled in manner to which men and women would not sub init in any other portion of the world. Platform guards at stations hurl themselves with all their weight and strength upon passengers and liter ally drive them into the already over crowded vehicles, the while using ex- cIamations and even epithets of the most unpleasant and annoying char acter.
 But how different in Mexico. Here, although the inhc<ible and admirable rule is that all passengers must leave the ear by the front door and only enter by the rear, and that no one may stand on the front platform, the conductors are exceedingly polite and Gentlemanly in handling the crowds, even when they attempt to violate the rules noted They do not lift their voices in harsh orders, but when it is necessary, in the most polite and de-

WANTS A CHANGE MADE
Have Pun Their Faith in Great Britain but Expect Some
 Relief Now.

LONDON, Nov. 1e.-The Express features an article by a French mili. tary writer, Capt. Philippe MilIet, calling on Great Britain to take over more of the western front and re- lieve the French.
 Captain Mlllet, says 1t is necessary to speak plainly, that the alliance of Great Britain and France cannot be based on a mere exchange of com pllments and that all Frenehmen are wondering whether the English fully realize what is happening to France. He says the French recos. nize gratefully what Great Britain has already done, but feels that the time has come for the British army to relieve the French mere effic- iently.
 The wrEsf ersss uttersnees of French dSruties to oupport his claim and remarks that the British are holding only t5O kilomters of the front compared to the French 5so kilometers.
 He adds:
 "There is not one village in all of France where the people do not expect our friends to enable US, af- ter twenty-seven months' hard strug- gle to have some rest during the third winter and prepare for an ad. vance next year without having to exhaust ourselves.
 "Thls ls what our people feel. They have put their trust in Great Britain and they all expect the re- lief of a good bit of the French line to be made soon."

Mayor B. D. Stewart Gives Out All Facts to the Council Regarding
 Purchase.
CITY MUST NOW ACT
Option for the Purchase Expires Next Month; Big Meeting Is
 Called.

Mayor B. D. Stewart last night had the city clerk read the terms of an option held by him from R. E. Lewis for the purchase of the Ju- neau Water Sytem and he explained its terms to the councilmen and cit- izens present. The Mayor asked that the terms be given the widest range of publicity and that spe- cial meeting be called on Friday night. November 24th, at which time all interested cvitizens are asked to appear before the cOun- cil and discuss the question of the purchase. pro and con.
 The option expires December 15, and if the initial payment is not made by that date, it will be null and void. The option calls for a total purchase price of S100,O0O with interest at 6 per cent and an initial payment of $2S,OO0. The payments to follow would fall due on the first of October, each year, and would consist of $12,5OO yearly for four years, S6,OOO yearly for the next three years and a final payment of S4,OOO.
 The option sets forth that on the payment of the initial sum good and sufficient deed will be drawn and placed in escrow for the city. to be delivered at any time final payment is made.
 The Juneau Water Company is to retain all earnings and pay all bills up to the time of the initial pay ment, but the city is to take over and operate the plant after that time The terms provide that the plant is to be kept up by the citv and the city ls' to deIend tne a0- verse suit between Lewis and the Hallum and Ebner companies over the Lewis Homestead entry in Last Chance Basin, above the intake, but that he. Lewis, will defend the adverse claim of the Boston Group Gold Mining company for a Hume right across the Whitney placer claim.
 As brought out by Mayor Ste wart last night, the original offer of Mr. Lewis, made last year, was to sell the plant for $75,00O with an initial payment of $45,OOo and interest at 2 per cent on the bal ance.. Mr. Lewis has spent S2S,OOO on the plant already this year, which means a net saving of S3000 to the city.
