Lighting Uncertain at Camp.

The lighting of Camp Cody, not
withstanding the importance of the
military work going on here, is poor
although lights for merry-go-rounds
and carnival shows in Deming are
furnished by the lighting company.
1t is no uncommon thing for all
lights to go out in the headquarters

Could Take orr Trains.

Some 81 the railroads undoubtedly
can save coal by taking OF some of
the passenger trains. ON an average
q passenger train will consume a ton
Of coal e. every nftccn miles. AZ an
illustration Ut the good that can be
done In this direction the elimination
of one train each way daily between
Salt Lake city and PocatcllO would
save eighty-two hundred tons 10 coal
in year. We have had under con-
sidcration the ACCESSIBILITY of Curtail-
ing our passenger train service. but at
present II seems that nothing more
can be- done. But II II entirely prob
able that the curtailmcnt " passenger
train service will become u necessity.
and " IL does the people Of the coun-
Try should offer No objections MS such
action will be taken only IN the best
Interests of the country as u whole.
"Thc railroads are doing everything
IN their power To- assist the govern
mont and the people In this national
crisis Already much good has been
done In the Increased coal production
aud the marked relief o. the ear situ-
alton. We are urging that every car
be- loaded Co ii0 per cent capacity and
the results obtained are very crafty
inE. In about sixty days the car

ducvd from 1881 to 7T.ili."
