AColohel Bill Shaw, an Eastern agent
for the Burlington, who spent few days
n Butte about two years ago, has been
made the subject of cartoon with ac-
COMPARTMENTS, in the Columbus, Ohio,
Dispatch.
The cut represents Mr.. Shaw with his
pocketbook in his hands paying the con-
dVctoE of a train his fare after January
l3nd the effect it is having on the con-
ductor, with four kodak fiends taking
snap shot at the pair.
Great beads Of perspiration are falling
from the face of the conductor, who is
exclaiming:
Il must be dreaming!"
Beneath the cut is the inscriptions:
Passes will be abolished January /.
and even Col. Bill Shaw of Ohio will
have to pay his fare"
Never Paid a Cent.
1t is said Colonel Shaw has never been
known to pay as much as a nickel for
railroad fare east of Chicago, in which
section the new pass rule is to apply,
and that it will not only go hard with
him to have to put up, but will cause
some of the conductors with whom he
has so long ridden without paying to
have fit.
Realizing that the cut was an appro-
pirate one, Mr.. Shaw had it transferred
to a sheet of Burlington paper and sent
copy of 1t to his many railroad friends
in various parts of the country.
Phil Daniels, agent of the Burlington
in this city, received one today.
1t was sent from Cincinnati, in which
city Mr.. Shaw is the district passenger
agent for the road.
1t wishes Mr. Daniels Merry Christ
mas and Happy New Year.
Many Persons Are Hit.
The new rule regarding the issuance
Of passes to agents of roads over lines
! with which the agents are not connected
will not only strike Colonel Shaw foul
blow. but will fall with almost equal
severity on some of the Butte agents,
although the latter do not travel much
east of Chicago.
Between Butte and the city of large
feet they will be all right, as the new
rule will not cover territory west of
Chicago, but it will go hard with them
to have to dig up east of Chicago on
their annual tour around the world.
Through Train to Florida.
The passenger department of the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois railroad has no.
titled Butte railroad agents that on jan
uary it will resume it's old through
train service between Chicago and Flor
ida for the accommodation of those who
deSire to spend the remainder. of the
winter in the latter state.
The train out or Chicago is to be known
as the Chicago and Florida limited, and
will run to ST. Augustine, via Nashville
Chattanooga, Atlanta, Albany and jack
sonville without change
1t will be composed of combination
<1,.ny. tho
sleeping car, Pullman day coach and din
ing car.
Card of Appreciation.
Probably no other city Of it's size in
the United States furnishes more Euro
pean travellers than Butte, fact which
the Eastern agents of steamship lines
appreciate.
AS an evidence of this there was re-
ceived at the Northern Pacific office in
this city today neat little card from f.
G. Waiting manager of the Western de-
partment of the Cunard line of steamers
plying between New York, Boston and
Queenstown, thanking the agents of the
line for their work in the interest of the
line. /
The card is about the size of dining |
car bill of fare, and is surmounted with |
a wreath of laurel
In the card Mr.. Whiting, who makes
Chicago his headquarters, says the !
Cunard line holds the record for the fast
est trip from New York to Queenstown,
one of it's steamers having covered the
distance in 5 days, Z hours and 70 MN
utes.
