The many friends of Engineer Hiram

twenty years. He was known a. q very care
ful and reliable engineer, was successful in
bringing trains through on time, and was
given the fastest engines on.the best express
trains. After 90 long and successful o career
Ia the cab IL seems too bad that he should
lose his situation through possible error in

Consolidated road managers in enforcing
rules calculated for the safe running of It's
trains 10 to be commended.
