Mr.. Robert X. Hill, formerly of this
city, but now OF Denver, Col, has invented
and had patented window for railroad
cars which is destined to make him q for
tune. The window and frame is oval
shaped and it is designed TO turn away the
dust and dirt that usually flies in at the
windows, and it looks as if it was well
calculated to do the work for which it is
intended. The Missouri Pacific railroad
company is using Mr.. Hills patent and
Pullman, OF palace car fame, has tried
them and the only question between Mr.:
Hill and Mr.. Pullman is the price asked
for the use of the patent. Mr.. Hill feels
satisfied that he has good thing and he
holds it very high. Samples of his design
are at both the railroad offices in this city,
but it is not likely that either the c. d ?.
or B. so. will take hold of it at present.
although both acknowledge thati is q vel!
devised car window. We congratulate Mr..
Hill on thesucc he has already attained
and hope that he will succeed in having all
the roads in the country adopt his window.
