Just how W. II. Truesdale, the new
president of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad is regard
ed in the West. and what the East
may expect of him, may be cleaned
from the following estimate Of the
man. printed in the Chicago-Timcs
Herald:
wv. II. Truesdale, the new president
of the Delaware, LaCkawanna and
Western railroad, is one of the best
products of the western railroad world,
and he carries with him to the east
a reputation most enviable. II is said
that there is no detail of the great
railroad problem with which he Is not
familiar. Beginning his career in the
auditors Office Of a little western road,
his first lessons were with the financial
problems Of railroading This was in
1869, the year that President Sloan,
whom he succeeds, entered upon the
executive duties of the Lackawanna.
TIe then became purchasing agent,
familiarizing himself with the great
question OF railroad supplies From
this position he graduated to that of
assistant TO the receiver broadening
his knowledge Of railroad finance.
After seven years OF service Mr..
Truesdale became the general freight
agent OF another western line, now
part Of the Vandalia system, and here
he began to store up knowledge of the
traffic affairs of transportation inter-
eSts. Marked ability as a traffic man
secured to him in 1881 the position of
assistant traffic manager Of the Omaha
road and the new field placed him in
touch with the important freight and
passenger problems of the great west.
His reputation then was an enviable
one. and it caused his elevation to the
position Of assistant to the president
of the Minneapolis and st. Louis, a
road closely affiliated with the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific. For eleven
years he remained with this company
in its highest offices, finally to become
receiver in which position his broad
knowledge of finance and traffic prob
lens was of extreme value.
-Four years ago Mr.. Truesdale came
to Chicago as third vice. president of
the Rock Island, to assume soon after
the duties of general manager in which
he added to his extensive knowledge
of railroad affairs all those things
which pertain to the operating depart
ment. AS second and first vice-presi-
dent of that property he since has
been one of its guiding stars. Mr..
Truesdale, therefore. combines the
qualities of first-class financial, traf-
fc and operating railroaders. Added
to this is the personification of con-
servatism and caution, though thor
oughly up TO date and progressive"

IRON TRADE OUTLOOK.

The Iron Age comments upon the
future of the iron trade, as follows:
THE iron trade is getting somewhat
excited over the danger OF scarcity Of
material, which is reflected in quite n
rapid advance in prices all along the
line. OF course it is only the belated
requirements. relatively moderate in
volume, which are being covered. The
real test Of the situation will come
when pending low priced contracts ex-
pire and the tonnage for the second
half of the year is to be covered.
Steel is exceedingly scarce for
prompt delivery, and those who must
buy are required to pay as high az
$3.50 in the Central West and S21 at
Philadelphia. Plates continue to be
the banner line and the demand is very
urgent Ship builders at Baltimore. at
Newport News and on the Delaware
have contracted for an additional mum
her OF vessels. Chicago recently sold
10000 tons, and could not fill as much
more in orders. Pittsburg mills are
handicapped until july delivery.

TWENTY-ElGATH STREET.
Complaint Made About tile Condition .
Its Surface.

Its surface.
There is come complaint among the
citizens residing on Twenty eighth
important thoroushfarc as il now is,
compared to what it was before the
street railway track was placed upon
it.
1t is understood by the city authori-
ties that when j railway company lays

street in as good Il condition for tn"
traffic us it WAS before the iron was
lid--lnust leave it III other words,
in good. passablc condition.
I'i;is it is claimed has not been
done on Twenty eighth street which
once had the best surface grade in the
city. 1t was formerly we'll curved to
the center, With good drainage, COM
paratitcly speaking. either side.
MN, the official grade is some distance
below the street surface. Tho railroad
company had the option of laying their
iron on the surface grade temporarily
until the street was brought to official
grade, or Of laying the rails at Official
grade and reducing the Test of the
street to the same. Neither, it is
/,
or very near to, official grade, hut the
remainder of the street has not been
accordingly reduced. 1T is true, the
bump ON either side Of the track has
been lcvclcu to Il certain extent but
this instead Of helping matters on the
whole. has rather an opposite effect.
1t makes crossing the tracks possible,
bur destroys the grade Of the street
l. will be remembered that when the
track WIS first laid in the North End
the official grade was some distance
above the surface grade Of the street.
and Il somewhat similar condition pre-
vailed in another way The company
made matters better by adopting for
the present at least u compromise
