High Speed Alr Brake
Within a few days all the equipment
and motive power used on Burlington
fast passenger trains between Chicago
and Denver will be equipped with the
latest thing in air brakes known as the
high speed brake This brake it is
claimed will stop a train in one third
the distance formerly required and in
one half the distance required by the
brakes now in use Another advantage
is that with the quick stop there is no
sudden jerk The brakes tighten on the
wheels by degrees until the pressure of
110 nounds on tne cylinders is exerted
and then they slowly ease off to seventy
pounds By this method the wheels do
SnLOC SllOB XUC UUiu io 4u11ru oiupjJcu
brthout the jerk that throws passengers
h Jferward on the seats A great advantage
this brake is that it enables heavy
Sins to stop with less loss of time at
fewstations and in cases of emergency
beeaf stop is made very quickly On local
Strains it enables the operating depart
to make a slight reduction in run
nier time on account of the time saved
m th stops or enables engineers to run
slower Vetween stations and yet make
schedule xme
The chanee in brakes has cost a con
biderable sum vet the new device is
regarded as one ot e things that help
to avoid collisions and other accidents
and for such railroad companies are
Willing to pay enormous suit The air
cylinders carry 110 pounds pressure
while the old brakes were operate with
sixty and seventy pounds The new
brake takes the air slower and thus do3
not set the brake so rapidly that the
wheels are made to slide It is said that
when the wheels begin sliding a quick
stop does not result The thing desired
is to apply the pressure just bard enough
to make the wheels almost slide and to
retard their motion continually until the
train is brought to a stop
It is said the Burlington is the only
road running into Denver from the east
that has adopted this device
To Patrons of Electric Lights
Parties having electric lights in their
residences are becoming careless about
turning them off when retiring The
residence rate is not based on all night
lights and except where paid for they
must be turned off when retiring The
current is there to use in case of sick
ness or emergency but beyond that it
is a violation of the agreement and while
you receive no benefit it is considerable
expense to us Please observe this and
save further notice

Story of the Burlington
In an address delivered at Albia Iowa
December 30th 1901 W W Baldwin
told tho story of the Burlington in a
most interesting and comprehensive
mannor touching upon many facts once
known but forgotton perhaps by many
The address shows the story of the
Burlington and of its pioneer oilicials to
be synonymous with the development
and growth of much of Iowa and Ne
braska in both of which states the road
being a potential clement for more than
a quarter of a ceury past
The address is too long for us to even
cover a summary of its contents and
hence we will be compelled to be content
with a few glances at a most engaging
statement of tho accomplishments of the
Old Burlington and a brilliant outlook
nnon the future of tho Now and Greater
Americas railroad managers
Ex President Perkins who came up
from a 30 clerk President Harris an
office boy at 36 per month First Vice
President and General Manager Potter
who in 1867 was station agent at Albia
Iowa and in fourteen years became first
vice president Our own General Mana
ger Holdrege who was a clerk in 1869
General Manager Delano was an apprentice-boy
in the Aurora shops in1885
at five cents an hour General Manager
Elliott was a rodman in his first service
for the road Superintendent Levey
was a night operator at Red Oak Iowa
General Passenger Agent Eustis started
as a clerk in the freight and ticket de
partment in Omaha twenty four years
ago
And to these might be added Mr
Ripley piesident of the Santa Fe who
was a Burlington freight clerk in 1870
Mr Morton now vice president of the
Santa Fe who began railroad life in the
Burlington service as a clerk Mr Led-
yard president of the Michigan Central
began as a clerk in 1870 Vice-President
Brown of the Lake Shore was a
train dispatcher Mr Merrill vice
president of the New York New Haven
and Hartford entered the Burlington
engineering service in 1866 W B
Strong rose from a subordinate place to
be vice president of the Q and later
president of the Santa Fe A E Touz
alin it will be remembered came up
from the Burlington ranks to be its vice-
president All or wnicn is a most pow
erful stimulus to ambition and duty to
every subordinate in the service
Passing from the more personal side
of the Burlington the speaker spoke at
some length on the recent great mergence
of the Burlington and the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific into the
New and Greater Burlington defending
the action as wise and beneficial even
necessary to the future good of the road
as the roads in the combination mar
velously supplement each other The
Burlington had food and fuel it has
added lumber and an outlet to the ex
panding trade of the Pacific and Orient
The speaker closed with a prediction
that the Burlington of the future would
be an improved Burlington a Burling
ton being constantly made better with
more employes more trains a faster fast
mail better service generally
