OFF THE TRAY NEW RAIL-
ROAD MEAL SERVICE

At len .th the very much desired
but seldom mentioned improvement
has been put into train service
you may eat en- route now without
being millionaire or CRATER. The
Union Pacific system is inaugurating
a plain "off the tray" meal service
on all it's lines, and no matter what
part of the train you ride in you
may. have sandwiches, cakes, hot tea,
coffee and milk brought to your seat,
at reasonable prices. This demo-
cratic step has been in the minds of
the officials for some time and now
they have it perfected as a working
plan. 1t means more, much more,
than merely starting lunch count
er or a restaurant; it is like opening
long chain of popular dining rooms
all at once; but the railroads are
used to doing things on large scale,
and once begun the plan is certain
to work and be godsend to the
plain, honest traveller.

KIRKPATRICK WRITES OF SNOW

G. G.. Kirkpatrick, who now lives
at Moulton, in Cassia county, 80
miles southwest of Malad, and SO
miles south of Burley, writes us that
they have good snow crop down
there. His letter of the fifth of
March says two to three feet on the
level, and drifts 10 to Is feet high.
The roads gather more snow than
the rest of the country, and If a
horse slips off the grade" they have
to dig him out.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick took a
trip to Oakley on the first of March,
and had merry day summarizing.
At one part of the journey it took
four hours to travel mile and a
quarter. They spent much of the
time mining for horses and whipple-
trees at points where they stepped
off the snow grade.
The supply of feed is practically
exhausted there, and some Of the
stockmen have turned the stock out
to brouse on whatever they can find
that is eatable.

LIGHT PLANT PAYS FOR
ITSELF IN FIVE YEARS
Earned $95, 900 During Operation

Five years ago tomorrow, March
8, 1912, decision was rendered in
the district court at Boulder, dissolv.
ing the injunction brought by the
Northern Colorado Power company
which sought to restrain the city OF
Longmont from buying, and the
Longmont Service company from
selling to the city, the power plant
and transmission lines, thus settling
the right Of the city to own and op-
crate its own electrical system.
This decision was the cause of
much rejoicing by Longmonters, and
was the end of long drawn out litiga-
tion between the power company and
the city.
Despite opposition the Longmont
municipal plant has proven a re-
markable success from the start of
it's operation January 1; 1912.
The original cost of the plant and
distributing system was $S6,50O.
Nearly $4,000 has since been in
vested in the plant, making it worth
500, 1000. During the five years of
it's operation ending January 1,
1917, the electric plant has earned
practically $4,000, so that it has
paid for itself. Part of the proceeds
of the electrical department have
been diverted to the payment of
water bonds, and part to charging
the light plant and to depreciation.
Notwithstanding this only $4,000
bonds remain unpaid on the system.
Ray Smith has been superintend-
ent of the plant since it's start and
much of it's success is due to his cap
able qement.-Longmont Call.
