First Business Is the Care of the Wounded Then the Track Is Cleared in Marvelously , Short Order. It takes about five minutes for the New York Central wrecking crew at Utlca, N. Y., to get under way when a wreck happens somewhere east of Kirksville or west of Albany, which is the usual terri tory covered by this crew, a dis tance of 38 miles to the westward and 87 miles to the eastward. Five minutes is the time required if the wreck happens in the day time. If the accident happens at night the use of the telephone gets every member of the crew out of bed, in which case it requires about 15 minutes to get the crew together and the engine hitched onto the seven-car train. The wreck ing aggregation located at Utica is typ ical of the wrecking outfits of the rail road. When two trains run into each oth er and mess things up and hurt some body, the wrecking crew's first busi ness is to care for the wounded. In Utica ;the Central has the names of four physicians on its list and when the wrecking crew hears that some one is hurt one of these doctors is no tified. If the wreck is a large one, not only are all four doctors taken along, but also all others who can be obtained. The wrecking train is also supplied with first aid to the injured outfits. The wrecking train consists of seven cars, the steam crane, the idler, over which the boom hangs, with a cabin in the other end in which ride the crane engineer and the rigger, a dining and sleeping car combined, in which the crew eats and sleeps, a tool car, a blocking car, which carries the blocks used in blocking up cars, and two cars loaded with trucks which may be placed under the cars when wheels or axles haVe been twisted. An ordinary wrecking crew consists of the wrecking master, a crane engi neer, a rigger and eight wreckers. The assistant train master accompanies the crew to learn how the wreck happened and to attend to other matters. When the wreck is a large one the size of the crew is increased. The steam crane constantly keeps steam up ready for business and the fire is never drawn without the pre mission of the superintendent. When the wrecking crew learns of a wreck the first available engine is hooked to the seven cars and no time is wasted In arriving at the scene of action. The first thing the steam crane does is to holBti the debris off the track. Just as soon as one of the tracks has been opened the wrecking master re ports to the superintendent and gives him an estimate of the length of time It will require to open the other tracks. The wrecking master is in full com mand of the wreck. One of the wreck ers acts as a clerk and takes note of every bit. of damage done, for it will be his business to make a detailed re port of what happened in the mixup. If the nature of the wreck indicates the cause, he will report that, also. The crane has a lift rating of CO tons, which is sufficient to hoist a freight car bodily upon a track. When it tackles a passenger car it can lift one end at a time. Whenever the crew goes to the electrified West Shore rail road the members wear rubber boots and rubber gloves as extra precau tions, although the current is sup posed to be turned off from the third rail after a wreck has happened. An Awkward Passenger. A Scottish railroad guard had a nasty experience the other day. Part of the luggage under his charge from Aberdeen to Manchester was a Hima layan bear, en route for Bostock's Jungle1 in the Lancashire city. Yearn ing for company en route, Bruin broke out of his cage. The guard hastily summoned the animal's keep er, who by firing blank cartridges in the face of the bear managed to make it retire to its cage, where it was se cured. At Forfar carpenters were employed to box up Bruin in. his spe cial compartment. On the way to Manchester, . however, the animal again broke down the barricade and on arrival there was found to be again loose. After some difficulty he was safely housed in an iron cage and taken to his own home. Order Electric Locomotives. After a thorough test of two new electric locomotives for service on the New York terminal division, the Pennsylvania has ordered the West inghouse people to proceed with the construction of 50 of them. The new engines will be built in the form of a double locomotive or two in one. Each machine will have a motor with 2.000 horsepower capacity, or a total in the double machine of 4,000 horse power. The new machines will be equal to three of the steam locomo tives of the largest freight type and will have a trainload speed of 80 miles an hour. Locomotive Building in Chile. Consul Alfred A. Winslow reports that work was begun August 31 on the first railroad locomotive ever built in Chile, at the works of the Socicdad de Maestranzas y Galvaniza tion in Valparaiso. FARMER BUILDS A RAILR0AB Silent Man Is Doing Most of the Work Himself on This Western Kansas Line. , In the hills of western Kansas, in Hodgeman county, one man is build ing a railroad. He is building it by himself, literally, unless one counts the four mules and the scraper that are necessary in the making 'of the grade. Rudolph Meyers, a native of Jeffer son county, Kan., has sought no bond issues and the right of way he has secured thus far he has bought with his own money. For 18 months he has been working quietly on his road bed and in those J 8 months every one who has asked him questions has re ceived a nod of his head for his pains. Meyers will say nothing. And the result of this non-committal attitude has been that not'-Sfone is Jetmore, the county seat of Hodge man county, talking in an excited way, but the entire Seventh and eighth congressional districts are dis cussing the peculiar enterprise which one man is fostering. This railroad which Meyers has started is planned to extend 'from Jetmore to Garden City, 54 miles. It will run almost due west and would afford a connection with the Jetnjore branch of the Santa Fe, which now, extends from Lamed to Jetmore. The people of Jetmore and the country around it always have sought a west ern connection with Garden City, which would afford another junction with the Santa Fe's main line. For 20 years men have been predicting that some day that line would be built; that it would have to be built. In the middle eighties even the Santa Fe made a survey and laid out grade sticks, some of which are still in evidence along the grade being es tablished by Meyers. But the Santa Fe gave up its plan years ago and all rights were relinquished by it. Meyers has been so profoundly silent that the people 1 have never been able to get- so much as an intimation from him. He has lived in a Bhack out a few miles from town, has worked every day and has attended strictly to his own business. And now after 18 months Jetmore is waking. It finds that Meyers, the mysterious, has completed nearly two miles of his roadbed on two of the roughest miles of the proposed route between Jetmore and Garden City; two miles that were filled with hills that went as high as 50' feet, which Meyers reduced to the levels; two miles fhat were interspersed hee and there by ravines many feet deep, which Meyers filled after ceaseless work. He has established a roadbed, on what is practically the only route that can be followed if any one wishes to build a railroad from Jet more to Garden City, and therefore if Meyers never completes his own road he will hold the necessary key for any one else who wants to undertake the task. Boils Hands to Save Train. Terribly scalded by steam and hanging to the outside of the cab of his speeding engine, Kngineer Seab Davis, by a deed of unusual heroism, saved his train the Georgia railroad fast mail between Atlanta and Au gusta from being wrecked with 'a large toll in human lives. Just before the train reached Clarkston a driving rod of the engine broke and in a minute had demol ished an entire side of the icab, knocking the fireman backward into the tender and breaking the steam gauge and pipes. Engineer Davis, fearfully scalded about the face and hands by the escaping steam, clung to the outside of his cab until the first shock of the accident had passed. Then, with the driving rod still bat-i tering the opposite side of th'e cab, Davis reached into the scalding heat and with his wounded hands succeed ed in applying the air brakes. Un able longer to stand the torture from his wounded hands, he was flung from his position on the side of the engine, receiving additional injuries from his fall. A Carnegie hero medal will be re quested for Engineer Davis. Preferred the Toothache. John S. Inglis, contracting freight agent of the Union Pacific, has been suffering for several days with a se vere toothache, the first of his life time. He has consulted every rail roadman on the "row" in an effort to find a remedy to stop the pain. Re cently he was given a tip on a sure cure, but refused it, claiming that the remedy was worse than the ache. He paid a visit to the seventh floor of the Flood building, and there met a freight man who suggested the rem edy. "It's sure to relieve you," said the friend, "but it is a severe treatment." "Can you take the same treatment?" asked Inglis. "Sure, I can stand it," replied 1 the friend. "If you can stand it, I am sure I can. What is it?" asked Inglis, anx iously. Place a small glassful of whisky in your mouth. Let it run around on the aching tooth and then spit it out. It's a sure cure if you can do it." Inglis still has the toothache. San Francisco Call. Thousands of Steel Cars. At this time last year the steel car builders had orders for 60,000 cars. This year, according to the Railway and HngineeriiiK Review, orders have amounted to , 160,000, and work al ready contracted for will keep the plauts busy until next June. i A NEW TOWN EVERY WEEK AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY SCHOOL DAY. The above caption about representa the growth of Central Canada. The statement was made not long since by a railroad man who claimed to have made the remarkable discovery that such was the case. There is not a district of a fair amount of settle ment in any of the three Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but has its school, and the railways have stations every seven or eight miles, apart, around which group the towns, some large and some small, but each important to its own district. Schools are largely maintained by pub lic funds and theftsxpense of tuition is but a nominal sum. The final returns of the grain pro duction for Central Canada for 1909 is now in, and the figures show that the value of the crops to the farmers of that country is about 195 million dol lars, as compared with 120 million last year. American farmers or those who have gone from the United States, will participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State in the Union. One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth that comes to the farmers of Central Canada is seen - in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. , Some went to Great Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went to visit their friends in the States. The amount paid alone in transportation would be upward of two million dollars. Some make the trip every years. It need not be asked, "Can they" afford it?" With crops yielding them a profit of $20 to $25 per acre, and some having as much as twelve hundred or more acres, the question is answered. The Canadian Government Agents at dif ferent points in the States report that they have interviewed a great many of those who are now visiting friends in the different states, and they all ex press themselves as well satisfied, and promise to take some of their friends back with them. There is still a lot of free homestead land in splen- did districts, and other lands can be purchased at a reasonable price from railway and land companies. Tproposal .

WAITED FOR WHISKY TO AGE One Man of Sinful Party Proved He Could Control His Appetite, at Least for an Hour. Three veterans of civil war, who now make their home in Kansas, tell a story of a time when they made moon shine whisky. They were yarning about the incident several nights ago around a radiator, and while their names cannot be used, the story can be repeated, anyway. "It was just at the close of the civil war," said the man who was doing the talking. ,"We three were together on some isolated, out-of-the-way service. We hadn't had a good drink of whisky for about three months. Hard luck met us everywhere, and we just nat urally had forgotten the taste of whisky. So we finally decided that the only way to save our lives was-' to get busy and dis'til some of our own. We got some corn meal, some yeast. afid the other necessary or obtainable ingredients, and fixed up a still out of an old iron kettle. We worked at it for about two days before we invented enough machinery to do the job. But we were rewarded with succes In the end. In our batch we got about a quart of whisky, really a very poor quality of moonshine. But it had a whisky taste and we were happy. "The first thing we did was to divide It into three equal parts, each of us taking our chare. Now, Jim and Bill, there, the darn roosters, acted just like hogs. They wanted whisky so badly that they actually drank their's hot! Think of It! Drank it hot!" The narrator proceeded to show with intense emotion his contempt for a man who would drink green whisky, whisky that had not even been allowed to cool. He acted as if it was the un paronable sin. "What did you do?" asked one or the listeners. , ' "Why, sir," he declared, "I let mine age. Why, whisky that hasn't aged is not fit to drink. Age gives It a mel low taste; makes real whisky of It. Those fellows bah! drank theirs right down hot! I acted rationally. I waited waited an hour!" ' NOT ENOUGH. The Mother I am sure you would learn to love my children. . Nurse What wages do you pay?

The little slrl was starting to join her mother, who was visiting friends In a neighboring city. "Tell mamma," said her father, as he. put her on the train and kissed her good-by, "that I m taking good care of the flowers in he back yard." "I will, papa." "And be sure to tell her that the goldenglow is growing gloriously." "I'll remember papa." . The train moved off and she was gone.' An hour or two later she deliv ered the message. "Mamma," she said, "papa told me to tell you that he was taking good care of the flowers." "I am glad to hear it, dear." "And I was to be sure to tell you that the groldengow is glowing no, the goldengrow is going I mean the glorygrow is goldlng glorious the goryglow is goring mamma, what is the name of that big, yellow flower that grows in the back yard?" "The goldenglow, dear." "Well, he says it's doing first rate." Youth's Companion. Criticism Disarmed. "My barber put one over on me this morning," said Mr. Gillkintower. "How does it cut?" he said to me, referring, as barbers do, to the razor with which at that moment he was shaving me, and I said, as customers do, sometimes on such occasions: "'Splendid.' . "Then a little later I saw the barber dry that razor and put it in a case and wrap it up, and then he handed it over to me. It was my Own razor with which he had shaved me, which I had left with him the day before to be put in order. I . couldn't growl over it now, when I came to use it, after the praise of it that he had drawn from me unconsciously."
