DIVISION PoINr 20 GLIDE
Ex-Engineer Tells Why Division
Should Be Located There.

Should Be Located There
I'm regard to locating the division Of
the Missouri Pacific railroad at Clyde :
which has been so much talked Of says
ex- Engineer ,. d. BeatchelI, Il wish to
present another most important point.
Clyde is surrounded by a rich agTicul-
tural country which always raises good
crops, while within her territory are also
located some Of the largest stock-raiseEs
in Kansas, the shipment Of both s. ock
and grain being 2 large item to this
road.
Now taking into consideration she
large iron bridge at this place. We have
the largest bridge here there is on the
road between Atchison and Lenora, and
on two different occasions in the past, a
part Of it has gone out, and business has
been hlOckaded- With the division lOca-
ted at Clyde similar accident in the
future would not interrupt business for
the reason that with one or two extra
coaches always in the yard. and an err
gine always ready, trains could be made
up promptly, and mails and baggage
could be transferred and sent forward
without the loss Of time or money which
always accompanies delay.
Then again, on the Hastings brarch
with the division at Clyde, the Missouri
Pacific company could save at lest
SIS, 900 per year. This IS a big sum TO
save, but it can be done; and 1 am v, IL
ling and able to show any one who
doubts how.
Every way you look at 1t. there is
money to be saved to the railroad COM
pany by placing the terminal of the first
division at Clyde and that is what the
company looks at. I consider that good
railroading consists of figuring on what
can be saved-not on what can be paid
out and in my own mind can see a
saving Of at least $4,000 per year fer
the railroad company by placing the di-
vision at Clyde That is a pretty good
sum to save, and If anyone doubts these
figures ne has the privilege OF investi-
eating for himself
Money talks-sometimes but money
won't always locate a division It's good
railroading and business sense that does
the work

Favor American Engines.

Chicago, Ill, March 20.-After devot-
ing several months to personal observa-
ton and study of American railroads
and the methods by which they are OPP
Grated, Z. Sonokichi and Y. Yamato,
respectively traffic manager and mechan-
ical superintendent of Japan's longest
and most important railroad, extending
from Toxic to the northern extremity
Of the main island, have started back to
the eastern empire. The American To-
comotives found warm spots in the
hearts Of the Orientals. Sonol1ichi said
that the American engines, which cost
fully one-third less than those bought in
England, did better work with the use of
less coal.

McKinley's Youthful Platform.

American history furnishes many
instances of boyish energy and youth
full devotion to principle, all bearing
rich fruits in maturer years. Among
these. OF those laboring under adj
verse circumstances, may be men
toned Benjamin Franklin, Andrew
Jackson, Horace Greedy, Henry Clay,
early known as the mill boy OF the
S,ashes,1 Abraham Lincoln, James
A. Garfield, and last but not least,
William Mckinley. Now that 50
much is being SAID OF his majestic,
manly course. called forth by his
tragic end. little special reference
to his youthful days may not be I'M
interesting. 1t is not the purpose Of
the writer to speak of McKinley's
labors for or devotion to his parents
or to his instruction in the village
school, but to refer to what may APP
propriately be called his youthful
platform.
In the spring Of 1896, while on a
visit in Niles, a lady acquaintance,
