The Nabash.

Mr. James Smith, the new general traffic man
agar of the Wabash, has returned from his trip
over the road He says that it is the intention
of the new management TO make the Wabash a
paying property, and that General Manager Tai
madge has accepted positively with the
understanding that the road was to be managed
entirely independent of the Missouri Pacific and
the other Gould roads. The money the road is
now earning will be used to improve the condi-
ton of the road beds, tracks and equipments,
and the discarded locomotives and other rolling
stock of the road will be brought out, repaired,
and everything is to be done to put the road in
suitable condition to earn money. From what
Mr.. Smith says there can be no doubt it is the
intention of these two gentlemen to restore the
Wabash to the confidence of the community by
making judicious and suitable appointments Of
subordinates, and so conducting the road gener-
ally that the appreciation of the community will
be secured In addition to this Mr.. Smith
promises that the Wabash will compete just as
theoretically against the Missouri Pacific, where
it comes in competition with that road, as with
any other line.
