INTERNATIONAL OFFICIALS.
Inspection Party from Palestine in
Houston Yesterday.

Inspection Party from Palestine in
Houston Yesterday.
A party of International and Great
Northern officials, consisting OF General
Superintendent Leroy Trice, Assistant
General Superintendent G. L. Noble, Divi-
sion Superintendent T. c. Radey and Gen
in Houston from the North yesterday, and
after spending part of the day here, re-
turned to Palestine on the $3.50 fast mail.
The party left Palestine Tuesday and on
the way down made a very thorough in
spection OF the line, especial advantages
for this work being afforded by the steam
inspection car on which the trip was made.
This car, which was recently turned out
OF the company's shops, is of late pat
tern and is in thorough keeping with the
modern equipment with which the road is
being furnished throughout.
The extensive Improvements now being
made on the Gulf division of the Interna-
tional were noted in The Post of April 80
and mention has been made from time to
time of the immense amount of work
which has been done in the roads local
terminals, In the improvement of which
large amount of money has been expended
during the past rev months, III luls Cou-
nection it would be but doing justice to
General Superintendent Trice to say that
much of the credit for the work belongs
to him. Immediately on being appointed
to his present Office Mr.. Trice took steps
to ascertain just what was needed TO put
the road and its equipment in tirst-class
shape and, after submitting estimates OF
the cost of the necessary work to the In
terests which control the properly, ex-
perienced the satisfaction Of having his
recommendations approved and the requi-
site appropriations made. Mr. Trice
reached his present position from the bot
tom OF the ladder and from actual eXpe-
rience he Is familiar with the departments
concerning which many men in his posi-
ton are informed only in a theoretical
way. The good results now being arrived
at are, therefore. only the natural conse-
quences of Mr.. Trice's knowledge and
ability.
While here yesterday Mr.. Noble stated
to a Post reporter that the work along
the division was progressing very favor
ably. The steam shovel is now located
short distance south of Kellys Switch and
the necessary grade reductions are being
rapidly made.
