Superintendent Gilleas has reason
to feel proud of the record made by the
Illinois Central during the recent storm
period which has prevailed in this sec

not had wheel off the track since the
storms commenced. and this much
cannot be said by any other road
with which the Central connects in
Iowa. Some may ascribe this immun
ity to good luck, but good work is en-
titled to all the credit. The Central hat
had wash-outs the same as other roads
but its track walkers have found then
in time to prevent accident. More thar
once during the past month Mr.. Gillea
has had every man subject to his order
out all night watching and guarding
against danger.
