The through train on the DSS&A began running Sunday last, ar-
riving about three house late at this point, and has been late
every day since. There is something wonderfully lamentable in
the way this road does business. To make time seems to be an
utter impossibility with it, and the time is slow enough, some-
thing like 15 miles an hour, that is their actual running time.
It is altogether too tedious for this age and country. It
takes two hours to run from Marquette to Champion, a distance
that might easily be made in one. The passenger traffic is a
good one, the fare is high enough and the people deserve a bet-
ter service. We don't exvect they will get it, but the state
of things can be commented upon at any rate.
