RAILROAD NOTES AND PERSONALS
jjReed Smith, whohas been employed
as assistant electrician nt this terminal,
has gone toOmnho to take an electrical i
course of instruction. ' I
Engineer J. L. Murphy nnd wife left
Sunday for a visit with friends in Illl
apolis, Illinois, expecting to be absent
about thirty days.
Charley Seyfrth, who has boon
employed in'the shop at Boone, Iowa,
for a month or two, enme home this
morning on n brief visit.
Gcnl. Supt. Wnrc, of the Union
Pacific, has justpurchnsed a six-cylinder
Peerless touring car. Thatbeatsdriving
a one boss shny, C. W., doesn't it?
It is reported at this terminal that
Fred C. Letts, now trainmaster at Sid
ney, has asked for a restoration of his
rights as passenger conductor.
The run of sheep over tho Union
Pacific is now an important item of
freight traffic. Friday a train of thirty
eight cars went through nnd Saturday
one of forty-two cars. Saturday's train
load numbered 12,500 sheep.
President Mohler, who accompanied
Judge Lovett to Idaho, passed east Sat
urday in his private car. Mr. Mohler
reiterated the statement that work on
the terminal improvements at North
Platte would begin in a short time.
From Hastings comes the report that
the Burlington will soon begin work on
its new lineup the Platte valley. These
announcements, however, occur so fre
quently without results that tho people
interested will only believe such state
ments when they see actual work begun.
Engineers Whitlock andWinkowitch
left Sunday night for Encampment,
Wyo., where they will devote a couple
of weeks to trout fishing. Whitlock is
one of North Platte's most successful
disciples of Walton and he takes Wink
along to lug the fish. ,
Chairman Konold)(of Laramie, chair
man of the B. of L. E. protective
board, was in town yesterday whilo en
route to Omaha, where he wont on
brotherhood business. It is said that
the present' trouble over the No. 13 run
will be taken up with the officials. , ,
Freight traffic at the local depot is
but little affected by the opening of the
new station nt Stapleton. The majority
of the Logan county freight in the past
has been unloaded at Maxwell, and
that station is one that will feel the
loss of business by the opening of the
new station.
It is now predicted that tho strike
on the Hnrriman lines will be declared
oiF within the next thirty days. Sev
eral of the local strikers express them
selves as satisfied that tho strike has
been lost, and that they are willing ,0
return to work, when ordered to do so,
on the terms that existed before tho
men were called out.
Tho new type of passenger engines
that will run out of this terminal and
nre now being broken in on freight be
tween Omaha and Grand Island, are
different from any in service on the
Union Pacific. The cylinders are 25x28,
drivers 74 inches, weight 174,000 on tho
drivers and aro superheated. The tank
is square with a capacity of 9,000 gal
lons of water and fourteen tons of coal.
Failure to make the running time on
train No. 13, the schedule time of which
is said to be faster than any othor
train on a western road, has resulted in
Engineers Norton and Hartman being
taken out of service. With this train
tho Union Pacific has attempted to do
tho impossible make of it a local train
and still have the schedule time the
fastest of any train on the road. Be
tween Grand Island nnd North
Platte No. 13 has eleven stops,
while No. 1, with a slower running time
has two. It may be possible that tho
engineers who have been assigned to
tho run may mako the running time,
but in doing so tho company exacts of
them an unreasonable service; and
further as a speed of seventy miles an
hour is necessary to be maintained at
times, there is n question as to whother
there is not too grent n margin of risk.
A girl baby was born Saturday to Mr.
and Mrs. Richardson of the Fourth

An Ingonious "Fire Box."
A very simple but nevertheless ef
fective method of makng fire Is used
In the Arfak mountains, In Dutch
North New Guinea. The natives cut
a section of bamboo, usunlly nbout
nine inches long by two Inches in' di
ameter, and into this nre put a supply of
tinder and a small fragment of any
thing hnrd. preferably n piece of china
If the natives can get hold of It. Tho
tinder Is covered from tho wot by a
piece of bark, and the "fire box" Is thou
ready for use whenever It is wanted.
To get n light the native merely takes
tho piece of china and a lump of tin
der between his thumb nnd first fin
ger; then, holding the bamboo in his
left hand, ho strikes Us surface sharp
ly with tho china, causing a spark,
which soon Ignites tho tinder. Even
tho white man soon acquires the knack
of doing this, nnd tho process Is much
more cffectlvo nnd infinitely loss labori
ous than tho usual method of produc
ing flro by friction. WIdo World Mag
