One-Way Trains are Costly.

The Nations Business: In the long
and many-itemed bill which the rail-
roads have presented for damages un.
der government administration the
most curious perhaps Is that OF the
Western Pacific which asks 1851 ,755
for creeping rails caused by using It's
tracks between Wells, Nevada, and
Winnemucca in one way only, the
Southern Paciflc's line having been
used for traffic In the other direction.
The average layman who reads this
item hastens to ask: Don't they run
trains one way only on all double
track roads? Why aren't they ruined?
Then the experienced or even the In.
experienced railroader tells him with
scOrn that double-track roads are
laid differently.

Asleep at the Wheel

One Of the most singular accidents
that has ever occurred in the motor
world, certainly in this part of it,
was reported from Shenandoah noun
tain Saturday night. o. D. Simmons,
coming down the western slope of
mountain in charge of big empty
freight truck, went to sleep just
above the short curve at the water
trough, and instead of making the
turn, his machine followed straight
course. leaving the pike and landing
80 or 40 feet below.
Simmons, it is said, woke up as the
truck began breaking through the
timber, and jumped from the seat.
The machine made the descent with
out turning over, and was not damag
ed.
On the following day an engine
taken to the scene, cable attached,
and the truck taken out. 1t was in
this work of retrieving that the only
damage was done, for the cable broke
just as the truck was nearing the
road, and on the second glide down
the bank turned over and was more
or less damaged.
Surely, the somnolent driver will
not soon forget such a rude awaken
ing!,
