THE GRAND TRUNK
Sent Its Instruction Car to Portland
Saturday.
Teaching-The Glasses Will Embrace
Conductors. Engineers and Erakemen.

The Employees VIII Have Thorough
Conductors, Engineers and Brakemen.
The new instruction car of the Grand
Trunk road arrived Saturday noon and
will remain about fortnight. This car
is in charge of j. HI. Shannon, an expert
on the Westinghouse air brake; and he
has as assistant Mr.. George Surgeon.
The object of the car is to furnish a
school of instruction for conductors, engi-
neers, brakemen and other railroad en-
ployes in the use and care of the system
Of brakes. The car is fitted up with
large array of interesting machinery,
from which object lessons are given by
Mr.. Shannon. The car machinery and
all, weighs III 900 pounds, carried on six
wheel trucks. The larger railroad sys-
TENS Of the country now have instruction
cars of this kind or are building them.
The Grand Trunk has not had car of
this kind before. 1t has been about a
week out of the shops and comes here to
begin the system of education. BY in
structing classes of "a men day, Mr..
Shannon thinks that he will get as far
as Chicago in a year and nine months.
The roads find that.zssby thoroughly in
structing their employees they get sbetter
use and care Of the machines, thus MAX
ing great saving Of money and securing
a safer and smoother operation of passen-
ger service. Also, 1t is very frequent
that employees have to go into courts as
witnesses in cases where the company is
involved. 1t is desirable that. they know
what they are talking about in such cas-
eS.
The car will go to Gorham, N. H.,
after completing the work here.
This car was designed in the Grand
Trunk drafting department at Montreal
under thelsupervision ofEFrank W. Morse,
superintendent of motive power. 1t is
one of the new ideas introduced by Mr..
Hays.
Mr.. Shannon has been detailed by the
Westinghouse company for four months
to begin the system of instruction. Mr..
Shannon comes here from Buffalo and
has charge of division which includes
40, 900 miles of railroad.

Audubon do resolve:

to property and to society;a promo

prosperity without saloons and with

such revenues is always largely ex-
ceeded by entailed court expenses and
cost of paupers, criminals and insane.

f1uence and put forth our efforts to
oppose the petition now being circu-
lated to legalize the sale of liquors as
a beverage in any form whatever, and
