After next January 1st every
railroad locomotive is required
to be equipped with a headlight
of at least 1,500 candle power,
measured without the aid of a
reflector. Railroad men claim
that it will require an electric
arc light for every locomotive.
Switch engines are excepted
from this rule.
Wm. Dailey, the genial representative of Uncle Sam for the

received SI*.
Uusiness is reported very
slack in railroad circles. Several crews have been laid off
and ''bumping'' is pretty general causing a general reorganization of crews all around.
This condition is not confined
to the Soo alone, but the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific
and other lines report the same
condition of affairs. Several
causes are assigned, but the
open winter is possibly the main
trouble maker from the fact
that very little coal, logs, manufactured lumi>er or wood is
marketed on account of the absence of snow.
