AMONG THE RAILROAD MEN
Rock Island Construction Work to
Be Extensive.
4 TALK WITH SUPERINTENDENT HIT

About It-ROck Island Will Not Ex-
tend from Liberal, Kansas-General
Railroad Notes.
General Superintendent A. j. Hit, of
the Rock Island, was in the city for sev-
eral hours yesterday on his way to Fort
Worth, Texas. Mr.. Hit il making an
inspection of the western lines during
the absence of Assistant General Super
intendent W. a. StiIlwell.
Mr., Hit stated that the most import
ant construction work which the Rock
Island would undertake this year will be
the continuance of the elevation of their
tracks in Chicago. At present the tracks
are elevated as far as Thirty ninth street,
and during the spring and summer the
elevation will be continued for some dis
sance and if possible completed.
In conjunction with the United States
government the Rock Island road will
also remodel the bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river at Davenport, the plans for
which are new being prepared.
although the last two years have
been very severe ones for the railroads"
said Mr.. Hit, "the Rock Island Is in
very healthy condition. The prosperity
of the western roads during the coming
year will necessarily depend on the ex-
tent oil the crops. Snoul0 pEOuEaDle
market be found for the immense amount
of grain at present stored in Kansas, 1t
would prove of great benefit to the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Hit stated that there was no foun-
dation to the rumor that the Rock Island
is contemplating a southern extension
from Liberal, Kan, and said that it would
take an unlimited amount of "grit" for
any of the western roads to think of an
extension at the present time.

THE MOVING SIDEWALK.
1t Has Been Shipped to Berlin,
Where H WEI be EXHIBITED.

NEW YORK, March 6-The movable
sidewalk that attracted so much atten-
ton at the Chicago Worlds fair, has
been shipped to Berlin, Germany, where
it will be put up on the grounds of the
Industrial exposition which is to be
opened on May /.
Its plan of construction was pair of
railway tracks that ran side by side for
100 yards and terminated in a circular
loop at either end. Upon these tracks
ran an endless train of closely joined
fat cars, propelled by electricity. The
train was 4, 400 feet long, almost three
quarters of mile. Although the train,
or sidewalk, was constantly in motion at
the rate of six miles an hour, there was
no trouble in getting passengers on and
off. The outfit could carry 31,680 pas
sengers past given point every hour.
Nearly two millions were carried on 1t
without accident.
The sidewalk will attain a speed of
from ten to twelve miles an hour without
increasing the difficulty of getting on
and Off The Krupps are interested in
the foreign company that is installing
the road at the Berlin exposition.
