25 Fears Ago Today

Alderman o, F. Curtis was at it again last night. When the coun- ell met and rearrangcd It's seating, he was with difficulty persuaded to leave his seat among the council mon at the south end of the cham bcr and come to front seat around the table. When the resolution for the appointment of II. C. Gussman was presented, MT, Curtis arose and attacked Gussman from all angles, charging excessive profits, mistakes, and othe. evils Mir. Gussman, however, was named prosecuting at- torney. He also went after Howard Steele and argued that he should not be appointed chairman of the water and light committee, as he was associated with the electric com pany. He failed here also.

TWO NORTHWEST RAILROADS

Whcn the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad went into the hands oI receivers it Tas blamed upon the competition of the Pan ana canal and poor business re- nectcd from the pinched financial condition Of the northwestern farmers. Others of q more critical mind blamed tho dolorous dirgn upon fren2i~d financing by tho railroad. banker control and other evils inherent 10 an uniustilod eH- pansion policy regardless Of costs so long as bonds could ho sold
 Comes the announcement from the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railroads, two systems which traverse the same territory as the St. Paul. that they will spend s5o,0oo, 900 for improve mc0's this year. And this sum docs not include uhat thc Great North crn will spend upon its great Coa- ra1c nom aims tunnel and si"c'ri. d,ouon,

DIRTY MARKERS

Autolsts with such dirty markers that they cannot be read are vIo- lating the law. IL Is astonishing that they can roll through town after town and along the high ways where state police are reen without being arrested, One rarely reads of one being arrested or fined for such q violation.

REFUSING TO PERMIT 4 ms EXTENSION

It had been generally supposed In this city that every opportunity 10 extend transportation facilities were to be taken advantage Of; that the increase ~s such facilities was to be encouraged at every op- portunity, But today we fnd the Public utllities Commission retus- Ing 10 permit the extension of an independent bus line after resi- dents had petitioned for such serv' lee on tho score that road condi. tiens in that vicinity were unsa,is- factory,
 This is the first time, to our knowledge. that such a reason was given by the P. '. C, for denying the extension of bus line. The people living In the vicinity Of south street and Rocky Hill ave- nue can continue to walk 10 the nearest bus terminus; or they can use their own automobiles over the unsa atisfactory road.
 For years the talk in this city had been that the transportation facilities had been outgrown and the only transportation concern Of the day could not or would not keep pace with the demands. Then the independent bus lines were es' tablished and spread their lines into the neglected sections, greatly 10 the satisfac ction of residents. Now the r. |. C. comes along and refuses permission 10 extend ono of the Independent lines upon the spacious argument that the road isn't satisfactory. We should think that would be something for the bus owner 10 worry about, or the residents who would ride in the busses, and not the r, [. C.: or q suggestion could have been made 10 improve the roadbed and let the busses start. However, as 6 judge of roadbeds the P. ', C. updouot- edly regards itself as fully quail fed.
 Residents In that section Of the city wanted the extension of bus service and they were entitled te get 1t, The Common Council. re- gardless of whether it was willing to see such an extension, could not act, but under the provisions of the state law, had to refer the matter to the P. L. C, This lack of homo rule in even such an elementary thing as the extension of loca transportation has resulted in the residents of the locality involved who pay taxes and arc willing t' patronize the bus line, being de nied the right of having the bu line 10 patronizo merely hecaus the character Of the roadbed doe
 not suit the taste of the F. [. (

THE OSTRICH BATTLE

When William Mcintyre of Bos- ton, while drunk, accidentally strolled into the camel house of the Franklin park 700 in Boston and there came upon a vicious and bad tempered ostrich his experience with the bird again gave the lie 10 the silly yarn found in the school books that the ostrich buries It's head in the sand as soon as 1t sees an enemy, believing be cause it cannot see neither can 1t be seen. The ostrich does no such thing. When cornered, the male ostrich will fight, and lis feet are is chief weapons. A blow from tho foot Of an ostrich has as much, if not more. power than q kick from an cnragcd mule.
 When an unarmed man flights an ostrich, like Mcintyre did, he needs 10 dodge the birds legs, which Is a difficult feat, IS the bird can "place" i's blows with the precision of pugilist, But McIn- tyrc. it scsms accidentally got hold ot the animals only yulnera- ible part ~ is long and flexible neck -- and mstinc'ivoly held on. The bird. unob,n 10 shake him off. lifted him from inc ground as 'f kicked. thereby unwittingly aiding the man in aroiling the blows,
 The scientists tell US that an un- armed man would have only one chance out of 25 in surviving a fight with an cnrascd ostrich, Me 1ntyre, who did not know the first principles about hauling such 8 creatrirc. won because he was eX- trcmcly lucky.

A GREAT TUNNEL BUILT
 HN X STATE

determination and spirit Of the state Of Colorado In It's eonStrue' ton of the gigantic Moffat tunnel under the great divide, shorten Ing tho distance between Denver and Salt Lake City by iTs miles and opennig up vast territory in northwestern Colorado containing enough coal to supply the entire United States for i,5oo years,
 The tunnel will make 1t possible to complete the Denver X Salt Lake railroad -- or Moftat road - to Salt Lake City, as was the orsl- nal intention. and turn it from n local mountain sightseeing line into a new transcoptinental link.
 A one point Of the present Moi fat road the rails travel nine miles around hairnin curves In order to advance only one mile. This is e great experience for summer tour ists. but they do not pay much Of the expense Of maintaining the railroad. When tho bore under thc mountains Is completed this year such tortuous windings will be eliminated, and trains will be abin to pass under tho backbone Of tho continent by means of the tunnel as they do In Switzerland.
 IL will also be q great opportuni- ty for autoists to cross under the peaks without more trouble than 10 pack their machines upon ia, ears and pass through the electrl- fled bore. This Is the scheme which has been advocated for the Hoosac tunnel on the Boston 6; Maine in Western Massachusetts.
 Although the Colorado tunnel will be at an elevation of a,200 teet-which Is only 5000 feet low CT than the top of Fixes Peak --- this elevation Is not as high as the Union Pacific must reach 10 pass over the high spots in Wyoming, and Is not as high as the Denver & Rio Grande travels at Tennessee Pass In order to cross the Rockies. The tunnel will bring Denver s great dream 10 fuihllment a d. rect line to the Pacific coast. with out the necessity c. first traveling hours south 10 Pueblo or hours north to Cheyenne.
 Thus the state will complete what David II. Moffat failed to complete in 1911 with private capital. l. Is doubtful whether the large investment made by the state will pay adequate returns for many years, but ultimately It can not help doing so. But Colorado will get part of its money back in service by constructing a vasl water tunnel alongside the railroa 1 tunnel at the same time, thus be- Ing better able to secure a supply of mountain water in perpetuity The water tunnel will serve large number of cities and towns in the state.
 The construction of the MoHal tunnel on tho route Of the Denver X Salt Lake railroad is another in dication that the west is still dc' vcloping, The section of north
 western Colorado which will opcr
 its resources is larger than Con
 nccticut Rhode Island and Massa'
 chusctts combined. It's oil shalt beds are the largest in the country and will be of much value at | , future time when the gasoline !: petroleum supply plays out.
 , Colorado is 10 be congratulated
 upon adding to the resources of th' . nation through it's enterprise.

MARRYING ON 4 SMALL
 INCOME,

Professor James c. Dealey of tho sociology department Of Brown university ought to know what he is talking about when he says that in spite of the "extravagance Of this age, rent bills, grocery bills, the cost Of clothes, payments on fiyvers and fvvers of the better | sort, tire costs and the price Of gasoline, happy marriages still are possible upon salaries of s1,Soo to S2,n00 a year. Many fine young women arc ready to marry upon d small in- come" he finds. This ought 10 be good news for the boys with small incomes. But it is apparent they are not finding the willing small-income girls very readily, for the learned professor suggests steps be taken to organize Il more effective match making system. His suggestion that this is | field for the churches would seem 10 point out . supplementary heid for our religious bodies which as things are do not seem 10 be snt- fcientlv cultivated. For, if the pro- fessor's viewpoint Is 10 he taken at it's face value, most Of the fine vouns women who are ready to marry upon q small income arc found within the churches, repre- scntatiycs Of the great middle class.
