"MUST KEEP FOUNDATION IN VIEW "Magnate Bars High School Bor Is Better at Start, bat Toll , Maat Mas ' Broader Mlad. f NBW HAVBJ. Conn..' Jan. 19. Kdward t H. Hsrrlman, ' th ratlrrad owner and financier, has written for the Yale Dally News his views on collets training as preparation for railroading-. Ha said in part: i "The question which you have asked me "Is college education an essential, or even a valuable preparation for a man who expects to enter railroading-' Is a hard one to answer, and my answer is both yes and no. A college education will be a great help If the man In going through college has kept the foundations of high school learning firmly fixed. On the other hand, If he has neglected his handwriting and forgotten his arithmetic In the higher mathematics, nothing could be worse for him. If, however, he mill retains these es sentials he has a great advantage In that he has a broader view of the -world and a gre-iter knowledge of how to learn. "The high school boy has the advantage in that all the first essentials of good work In railroading are at his fingers' ends. For Instance, take the making of a simple statement. A statement should be some thing like a picture, something that can be taken in at a glance, not a bungi of letter and figures that moat be traced caret oily - out end th meaning extracted SHOE CARNIVAL Women's Shoes.

A high school boy will draw such a statement with perfect accuracy and clearness, while a young college graduate will draw in such a way that It Is a putxllng scrawl. Disadvantage at Start. "This college education is, in the begin ning, a real' disadvantage and I have found that In every case the high school boy does better work than the college man for the first few years. However, as soon as the college man has overcome these habits and has gotten back to the first principles he will go ahead much faster than his lees educated rivals. His mind Is, naturally, better developed and more capable of grasping the fine points of the business. On the other hand the high school boy, being younger. Is more adaptable and ha not In most cases the Irregular habit of the college man. "No matter how well educated a man may be he must start In railroading at the very bottom. "A rail mad man has no fixed home, he is like a naval officer, always at sea, and, moreover, he is always working to the limit of bis endurance. It Is the hard est life I know of, and yet one of the most pleasant. It cultivates an Insight. It teaches a knowledge of men and In this way Is the best training for any profession. " 'Pull' can never carry a man far In railroading. It Is hard work and applies tlon that count. Many a man starts out well, but lacking the stlek-to-lt spirit which Is so pre-eminently essential falls Into obscurity. "My advice to ths college man expecting to enter railroading and hoping to have an easy life, is don't; but to the man Who does not mind the hardest kind of work, who will not quit under disappointments and who wishes to have the most inter esting sort of a career. Is by all means, do." HEARING FOR HARRY THAW Order Issaed by New York Jndge for Inquiry as to Ills Sanity. NTACK. N. Y.. Jan. 1.-Harry K. Thaw will be given a trial In New York City to determine whether he is sane or Insane. An order to that effect was Issued today by Justice A. 8.

ROADS FIGHT FOR COLORADO Union Pacific to Parallel Lines of Hill's New Purchase. BATTLE FOE SOUTHERN DISTRICT Reported that Harrlman Line Will Ball from Pneblo to Do ran go and from There to A rl aona Connection. DENVER, Colo., Jan. 1.-That the Union Pad ft 0 la not to stop with the paralleling of the lines of the Colorado Southern railroad in the northern pt of Colorado, but will also attack that road In the south ern part of the state, seems certain, and the fight between the Hill and Harrlman forces for the traffic heretofore possessed by the Colorado Southern, the system recently acquired by James J. Hill, bids fair to be a bitter one. Surveys have been made and some grading done. It is said, on three new lines by the Ui.lon Pacific. One force of Union Pacific surveyors has been put In the field to locate a line from Pueblo to Durango, at which point ths Union Pacific is to connect with a line to be constructed by the Southern Pacific from ths main line in Arlsona to Durango. The Union Pacific will then oonnect tb.se lines with the main line at Denver. First Line to Fort Collins. The first line to be built Is from Platte vllle to ort Collins. Surveys for this cut off have already been made. This shortens the Union Pacific's time between Denver and Fort Collins half an hour, and makes the Union Pacific and Colorado A Southern lines piactically parallel. This, heretofore, has been considered Colorado aV Southern territory. The business of the Colorado A Southern from this northern territory, Why Does it Cure Nt because It la Saraapartlla, but because It la medicine of peculiar merit, composed of more than twenty different remedial agenta effeotlng phenomenal cures of troublea of the blood, atomach, liver and bowels.

Get 1 oimj Is the usaa) Ucaie tens or la much of which formely went to the Union Pacific, has. It Is said, been turned over to the Burlington since the acquisition of the Colorado & Southern by the Hill inter ests, and a big railroad fight with Colo rado as the battle ground apparently is to result. HHPs right to Canada. MONTREAL, Jan. 16.-The situation as regards J. J. HUTs threatened Invasion of western Canada, as announced from Win nipeg, is understood by railroad men here to be the same as ft was before the gen eral depression Interrupted the activity la railroad construction. Mr. Hill had acquired considerable prop erty In Winnipeg which was Intended to be used aa terminals for the new lines that were to be built from the border up to that city under a charter which was to be obtaloed by Canadian promoters. Parlla msnt has not yet granted the charter, and given practical effect to the soheme. ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. la President U W. Hill of the Great Northern railway, on being asked regarding the truth of the statement that the Oreat Northern railway would Invade Winnipeg, and extend its line west through Manitoba to the coast, said: "It has been known for some time that we have acquired about 12,000,000 worth of terminal property in Winnipeg, also that we are asking a charter from the dominion government for the right to construct a line .10m the Canadian boundary Into Win nipeg, a distance of about seventy miles. It la not true that ws are going to build a line to SL Paul and Minneapolis, tor we already run to the Canadian boundary from here. As to the western sxtonslon lu Manltjba, we have had construction work going on thare for a long time. "There Is really nothing in ail this." Statement ot OaaelaU. NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-At the Union Pa cific railroad offices here today It was said that nothing was known of the Union Pacific s reported plan to begin the con struction of a line paralleling the Colorado A Southern In northern Colorado. It was stated that these roads already parallel each otber at some points In the state, notably from Denver to Greeley, and that a part of the Colorado Southern lines are now used by ths Union Pacific The report of Intended rivalry with the Colo rado & Southern was attributed to the announcement of plans for minor exten sion of some of the Union Pacific's branch lines In this territory.
