"Oh, we haye Just been changing some money for employes of the smelter," re plied the proprietor. Investigation proved that the American Smelting and Refining company bad paid off the men Thursday In silver half dollars.

Jack Ryan of Ireland was forming a warm friendship for an unsophisticated Swede at I'nlon station Thursday evening, and at the same time waa being closely watched by Officer Wilson, who suspected that Ryan had other motives than socia bility. The officer finally thought the friendship too close for so sligrt ac qiinlntance and. as they were starting out to take a social drink, he hailed them.

At that time they were complaining of too much regulation and now they are praising the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission," said a heavy shipper and student of affairs. "They have discovered that the new fed eral law, whose enactment they opposed, has turned out aa beneficial to the railroads as to the public. It la finally conceded by the railroads that federal control may be extended considerably advantageously and also that state regulation may not be alto gether harmful. "The problem now before the railroads and the people la to work out the dividing line between state and federal control and we hope this may . be done without frlotlon and without hardship to anyone. The opinion seems to bo gaining ground that absolutely fair regulation whether by fed eral authorities or state will be rather helpful than disadvantageous. "Congress may during the winter extend the authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission to include more finances and operation as well as to extend the author ity over rates. The leading topic now being considered by the railroads Is the matter of uniform classification and the rlgh' of agreement among the railroad regard lng rates. I understand the members of the commission are with the railroads on both these propositions. Find Task too Great. "Most lines have discovered that not withstanding the Immense preparations the roads have made they . were unaule to handle the business of the country during '.he recent period of unprecedented pros perity. Many had an Idea the railroads were not expecting any such business and were not prepared for it, but when It Is considered that the railroads during 1906 ordered 341,315 freight cars and 3.2S9 loco motives It shows the railroads were work ing in advance to try to handle the busi ness." In the last six years, according to the statistics compiled by the Railway Age, the orders for freight cars aggregated ', 437,25; tor passenger cars, 19.343, and for locomotives, S0.215. More than half of the freight cars 3,341 were ordered In the last three years, and aj proximately half of the locomotives 15.3$ have been or derrl In the last three years. In this con nection It Is worth bearing In mind that the new freight cars are of unusually largs caiactty, and the new locomotives pos sess exceptional power. gpeclal endeavors were made last year to afford greater safety in travel. Conrld erably more than fci per cent of the cars were equipped with air brakes The Rail way Age reports the following Increase In the miU'SK of block signals: Automatic block, 3.4 4 n.lieh. luiilroiled nianjul NEWS IN THE ARMY CIRCLE Frank Klnerney, for Many Years Sol dier In Regular Army, Passes Away.

EIGHT TRIPS TO THE MOON 1 , This Plus Seven Times Around Globe by Veteran Engineer. J. R. D0LAN FORTY YEARS IN CAB Omaha Man Began Railroading; on the Overland la Pioneer Days nnd Saw Thrilling- His tory Making:. If there was a railroad from Omaha to the moon, and John R. Dolan, 1813 South Eleventh street, had been running an en gine on that line for the last forty years and made the same number of miles he has made In that time on railroads built on good old terra firma, he would have made eight single or four round trips to old Luna and enough miles over to make seven trips around the earth, or nearly nine trips to the moon. Had he been run ning his engine on a railroad that en circled the earth, instead of running back and forth between Omaha and Grand Island, for the most part, he would have made about eighty-four trips around this terrestlal ball. That's what he would have done. If but what he actually did was to travel 2,099,170 miles In an engine. From 1867 to 18C9 Mr. Dolan ran between Grand Island and Omaha one trip of 156 miles a day, or M.940 miles a year. From 1SC9 to 1CT1 he averaged 50,006 miles per year between Grand Island and North Platte; from 1871 to 1873 he averaged 61,009 miles per. year on the Central Pacific, now ttie Southern Pacific; from 187S to 1878 he ran on freight between Omaha and Grand Island and averaged 37,752 miles per year. From 1878 to 1904 he pulled the Overland Limited between Omaha and Grand Island and averaged 6C.W0 miles per year. ' Bearan In Days of Thrills. "I went Into the railroading business when it was young," said Mr. Dolan, who had to be persuaded to discuss himself. "We used to burn wood for fuel and there were railroad Wood yards at Papllllon, Fre mont, Valley, Elkhorn, Chapman, Schuyler, Columbus and nearly every station. We used to think we were making good time whon we ran from Omaha to Grand Island In eight hours. There were no diners and we used to stop half an hour at Fremont for dinner. I have made the run since then in three hours and the schedule time of several trains is about four hours. "In those days the engines were all named. I remember one I used to run was named General Grant and another Gen eral Sherman, Our largest engines weighed about thirty tons, while now the big ones weigh 120 to'ns. We ran on fifty-six-pound iron rail and the drive wheels passed over tha Joints with a mighty bump. Today they use steel rails that weight ninety-two pounds to the foot. When I ran between Grand Island and North Platte every engine on that division was equipped with a rack that hung In the cab and contained two rifles and a quantity of ammunition, as a protection, against tha Indians, who had a strong prejudice against the white man's fiery iron horse. Entlro Gangr of Men Scalped. "One morning, at the point where Over ton Is now situated, I looked out of my cab and saw the whole gang of section men scalped and lying In the weeds near the track. We stopped and picked them up. Four of them were dead and three were still living, but died later. Spotted Tali's bunch of red warriors undermined the track and ditched the freight train that was ahead of my train one day In tha spring of 1871. They burned the engineer and fireman alive. Then they took bolts of calico out of box cars, and each Indian, taking hold of the loose end of a bolt of calico, got on his horse and galloped away at full speed, making kite tails a mile long of the calico." DENVER WANTS MAVERICKS Colorado City Invites February Tnenty-Vlnera to Hold Con ventlon There.
