J Brakcman Buckingham, of the Fourth district, speut yesterday in town visiting friends. The pay car put in its appear ance this morning and distributed substantial favors among the em ployes. The emergency tram crew in charge of James Dorram, which was put in service a short time ago, has been pulled off temporarily. Supt. Baxter's car was sent up trom Omaha yesterday morjwng on Train No. 5. He came, up on train No. 101 in the afternoon and went west on an inspection trip. 15ngine No. 1730, which had been having its tires turned, came out of the shops yesterday and was broken iu preparatory to going, in to regular service. The fifty-sixth orange special is in sight to day. These specials help to overcome the effects of the mile long freight trains and infuse a little brightness into the train men's prospects. It is said that the Rock Island road will soon commence a series of experiments with metallic ties and if they are successful they will displace altogether, the old wooden ties, Quite a number of the section men from the Third district have been iu town during the past few days taking their physical examina tions before the company surgeons. Special car 02 went through on train No. 101 yesterday alternoon. This car has just come out of. the Omaha car shops where the inter ior has been practically rebuilt and it is now said to be a very fine specimen of car builders' art. Four cars of automobiles for Honolulu formed part of the first section of train No, 19 Wednesday afternoon, They were consigned by the Wood Mfg. Co. of Chicago and the boxes were adorned with banners proclaiming their con tents. t The moving pictures, which were taken last fall along the line of the Union Pacific, will be exhibited lor the first time by means of a moto bcope at the Orphcim theatre iu Omaha next week. The exhibition is being looked forward to with considerable degree of interest, General Manager Dickinson and a party of Union Pacific officials made a trip over Sherman Hill Sunday to note how the bic freight trains are bundled on the mountain -district. The surveyors are still at work on the Sherman Hill cut-off and It in paid that work on it will be com , mencVd. as ,soon as the surveyors complete theif part. It is reported that two of the en gineers on the Julesburg branch failed to pass the examination on account of color blindness and that they will be asked to resign. The rainmcn here are still waiting for the results of their examinations. One of the surest signs of spring's approach is the rapid increase in railroad-building rumors. If they all .materialize there will be more steel, laid iu Nebraska and other neighboring states than ever before. The rumor concerning the Hershey- ba ramie branch still keeps bobbing up serenely and some ot the prophets attach considerable faith to it as they say that is the logical solution of the Sherman Hill piob lem which is adding gray hairs so rapidly to the Union Pacific officials' heads. The Union Pacific smashed its own record in tonnaire liaulmtr, Wednesday. A train went from Cheyenne to Sidney with 110 loaded cars, the total tonnage being -1,970 tons, over 500 tons in excess of any train that has ever been hauled anywhere on the lnce ot the globe. The train was over a mile long and was pulled by euiMue No. 1504, the ame engine which pulled the large train earlier in the week, The time consumed In' covering the Fourth district was twelve hours and forty-five minutes but the train lost boiiic time by reason of its breaking in two. It the length of these freight trains keens on in creasing all of the crews will have to learn telegrapliy and telcgrapli ines will nave to be strung along the train if the head end has any communication with the rear end.
