it until he is no longer capable Of SER
vice. He knows the exact resting place
of the thousands of tools, large and
small, and at any minute in the day
can tell which one of the 400 workmen
is using a certain tool. His room is in
absolute order at all times, for tools
are not allowed to come in at the Sman
window faster than he can place them
in their appointed places. Mr.. Allen
is over so years of age, but no one con-
nected with the Horton shops can re-
member a day when he was not to be
found strictly on time behind the little
window of the tool room ready to issue
or receive the appliances that comprise
his stock in charge.
One side of the back shop is devoted
to engine stalls, of which there are
seven, while the other is taken up with
various machines, benches, etc. Here
mechanical repairs necessary on en-
gineS are made. However, the seven
stalls are not sufficient to accommodate
the number of engines in the shops for
repairs usually, and much of the work
is consequently done in the round house.
There are 81 stalls there, providing am
pie accommodations for the engines in
service in and out of Horton and the
engines on which work is being done.
The back shop includes two large
cranes in its equipment These are
used principally in lifting the heavy
driving wheels of engines. They are
so arranged that one man can raise the
ponderous wheels to any height required.
The power for the shops is supplied
by two separate Corliss engines. That
of the locomotive department is AZ IA,
$50 horse power, while that of the car
department has 300 horse power and is

In the car department, work on the
order for new cars is responsible for
particularly busy scenes. Coal cars,
box cars and stock cars, in every stage
of construction, are to be seen, and
outside on sidetracks strings of new
cars stand awaiting to be placed in
service. The new coal cars are sub
stantially built and are of as great a
capacity as those now in use on any

TO EDUCATE EMPLOYEES.
Rock Island Enters Into an Agree.
ment With Correspondence
Echool

The interest which the Rock Island
railroad has for the betterment of it's
employees is responsible for permission
being granted to the International Cor
respondence School of Scranton, Penn
sylvania, to place instruction cars on
the Rock Island lines and to organize
schools for the employees. This school
is doing this kind of work on other
railroads throughout the country and is
meeting with much success.
The plan of education is practical.
The school has several cars fitted up
with various appliances, such as are
used in every day railroad life, together
with books and other reading matter
in the hands of competent instructors
who travel with the cars. The men en-
plOyed by the railroad who are DESTROYS
of lettering their education are here
given an opportunity to do so at a NOM
ina1 cost, and with very little if any
time taken from their working hours.
After the men once see what advan-
tages are to be gained from instruction
in practical railroad subjects, a school
is formed and the work of education
goes on by means of correspondence.
That the action of the Rock Island
road in granting such a privilege to it's
employees will be fully appreciated goes
without saying. 1t is an opportunity
of q lifetime to many working men
and there is little doubt that a large
number of the men along the system
will take advantage of the chance to
better their educational condition and
prepare themselves to be qualified to
hold better and higher salaried posi-
tions. The Correspondence school will
begin work Immediately, and start an
instruction car on a tour of the SyS-
tenn.

In these days of "soulless corpora
tons any recognition Of the best in
terests Of the common people" by the
monied interests is apt to be looked
upon, generally, as something altogether
out of the ordinary. The fact that
corporation is sometimes guilty of such
an "indiscretion," however, is proven by
the fact that the Rock Island Railroad
company has maintained for several
years and is now maintaining an i'm
mense shop plant at Horton, Kansas.
To one not acquainted with the sit
uation the proof is not to be seen at a
glance. When it is understood, how
ever that the maintenance of the shops
at Horton costs the Rock Island COM
pany each year thousands of dollars
that might be saved If the plant was
at another location it becomes plain.
