The Burling ton train masters were in
session at Lincoln , Monday.
The Japanese are building their own
locomotives with good success.
THE people of Nebraska have good
and sufficient reasons for being dissatisfied -
fied with the whole official bond busi-
ness. To much straw and fake in them.
THE Northwestern has put on another
fine fast passenger truin to Denver , which
ought , and doubtless will , induce the
Burlington to improve its Chicago-Deir-
ver passenger facilities.
The last report of the Postmaster General -
eral of England shows that the annual
deficit on the telegraph service goes from
bad to worse. In seven years the loss
amounts to nearly $13,000,000 in spite
of a good increased business.
The Pennock Steel Freight Car was
lately tested in Ohio , and constructed
upoll M. C. B. standards for a 6oooo
capacity flat car , supported a load of
i i8ooo , lbs. It weighs 2,000 to 4ooo lbs.
less than a wooden one of the same di-
mensions.
THEY are working up a little gold
mining excitement in the Bald mountains -
tains , near Sheridan , Wyoming ; while
Cripple Creek , Black Hawk , and other
Colorado points , are all agog over new
and extensive discoveries. The stock
speculators are happy.
The Santa Fe railroad was sold at Topeka -
peka last Tuesday , to the Union Trust Co.
of New York by order of the courts , for
sixty' million dollars. The re-organiza-
tiQn of this system goes into effect January -
uary 1 , 1896.

"I was travelling through there last
week , and at one time our train was
stopped for four hours because the en-
give couldn't take water.-Harper's
Weekly.
'
The fire in the Bozeman ( Mont , ) tunnel -
nel , which has been raging for several
weeks past , has at last burned itself out.
The Northern Pacific has decided to line
and arch the entire tunnel with solid
brick masoijrv. Bad caves in have been
caused by the fire and it is expected two
months will be necessary to clear it so
trains can be sent through.
The Rock Island road has lately built
an immense dam across the principal
branch of the Solomon river in Western
Kansas. It is of solid masonry , 300 ft.
long , 75 ft. wide at the bottom and 30
ft. at the top , and will impound over lee
acres of water. The drought made it
ydifficult to secure water from wells but
the new dam solves the problem.
During the month of October the
- C. B. & Q. is reported to have handled
1o6ooo , cars of freight. Only once in
the history of this road did it move a
larger quantity of freight and that was
in October , 1892 , when 116ooo cars were
moved. Thegross earning for the month
-
of October , this year , averaged $3oooo a
day more than those for the same month
last year.
Railroad men will of course oppose the
movement for the establishment of a
straight passenger rate of 2 cents a mile ,
but some of the passenger men at heart
believe that the low rate will come , and
that it will not be an injury to the busi-
ness. It is held that low excursion rates
would then he cut off and that the
scalping of tickets and the giving of free
t passes could be materially lessened.
I The scalping evil is growing and it
s seems impossible to stop it so long as
all roads insist on making competing
rates to all points they touch. When a
straight rate of 2 cents a mile is put in ,
all rates to be based on mileage and
, nothing else , it will be hard on the
"rainbow routes , " but it will simplify the
whole business amazingly and give the
traffic to the roads that have earned it
by constructing short lines between. cen-
tres of population.-Journal. .

This shows an average of .employes
of all classed , per 100 miles of road of
44 { , a decrease of 71 men per mile as
compared with the year 1893.
The story goes that the general passenger -
senger agent of the B. & M , has consistently -
ently opposed the policy of his road in
giving passes to political healers , state ,
county and city officials and third rate
lawyers. If this be a correct statement
of Mr. Francis' position , he is to be commended -
mended for it. He doubtless thinks that
if every patron were made to pay tariff
rates the road would not have to dabble
in politics.-Bee.
