"What does the big pile of silver half dol

Kued at a huge pile at a place where
laboring men do considerable trading.
"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.
When isked as to the reaaon Superintend

FRIENDSHIP GROWS TOO FAST

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.
It developed the Swede hd a pocket full
of bills and a ticket for the fatherland,

"Railroads have changed their tunes
from a year ago. 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

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.
Denver Is making a bid for the quadren
nial feast of the "Twenty-nlnars," or, mora
specifically, those persons who happened
to bo born on February 29. Judge W. W.
Slabaugh, who Is a prominent nemtwr of
the organization, haa received a letter from
M. V. Sheldon, who was distinguished four
years ago by being the oldest man at tho
Twenty-nlners' feast here. Mr. Sheldon
was born in 1840. and four years ago was
living at McCook. He Is now living In
Denver, and In his letter ha suggest that
Denver lnstend of Omaha should have the
honor of entertaining the crowd this year.
However, the local organization has gone
too far with Its p'a'is to give them up, and
the festivities will be hold in Omaha. It Is
expected that a number of visitors will
come from other cities to attend the din
ner. A letter has also been received from Ml
Belva L. Cotton, 846 Rose street, Lincoln,
who says she 1s a "leap year girl" and
wants to become a member of tho organ
ization and attend the dinner.
The final plans for the dinner have not
been completed yet and they will bo held
open until mo: of the ellglbles have been
heard from. Those Interested have asked
that all persons born on February 29 write
to the secretary, II. H. Krugnr, 813 Leav
enworth street.
