But in a Jarge body jof carmen carelessness and disregard for rules ‘will_crop. out occasionally. . Some men | reach’ fer nirais ahead of time and then leave | behind. time <o as to have a long fay-over. at tihe end of the trip. Both of these practices are prohibited because they lead to fast running and uUnnecessary dangers. Whenever a man is detected In this breach of rules he is promptly reprimanded “and a :epetition of the wrong brings more severe pumishment, but even this dues'not seem to have the desired effect. Per- haps some more drastic punishment must be meted cut for disobedience of the rules as to stopping and as to running ahead of time and leav.ug behind time, before the practice can be permanently broken up. The time sched- ules have received my own personal inspection and ample time is given for all stop: It has been 4 rule of. street raliroading, ever since the days of horse ‘cars, tc stop on the farther crossing whehever.any passenger wished to take or .leave the car. This rule is atill the. rule of the United Railroads. has been the custom where one raliroad cross another to give one line the preference or right of way. These rights of way were sunposed to be committed to merory by the motcrmen or gripmen. It-was found that this method caused confusion and disputes and for various causes many collisions resulted. The company, as a precautionary measure, to avold accidents, ~recently abolished all arbitrary rights of way on the limes under ifs -control and issued an order that all cars must -come to a stop before crossing any ‘irtersecting tracks. In case a car from each line arrived at the crossing at the same time the car first ready ed has the right of way. This order necessitates the car stopping op the near side of the street at a railroad crossing, but it does not sustend the anclent rule to st on the -farther side, on signal from . would-be pas. sengers. Some of the men—not all of them have repeatedly refuseq to make the two stops, in the hope,-1 imagine, that the owblle would be induced, at junction point: 10 cross the street and "beard the cars on that side. —_— e ‘ore to Let and Fixtures for Sale: Hfirman Lesser, who has been doing business at 915 Market street, will, on- account of the large increase of busi- ness in his department store, Tacoma, Wash., sell all clothing and shoes con- tained in store ds soon as possible.
