against which the wholesale grocers or

that came in for more than ordinary dis
Cusslon, and the consensus Of opinion as
expressed by those present was that 1t
was totally demoraized The trusts and
combinations OF capital were said to be
, the bane Of the wholesale grocers' life ana
it was reported that the manner in which
they force him to handle their particular

the keynote Of most of the discussion
Handle sugar at II Loss.
The question of handling sugar so as to
avoid loss by the jobber has always been
a prolific subject for discussion at these

usual round. The discussion resulted in the
adoption of a resolution endorsing the Nc
Mahon plan for the purchase and sale of
the saCCharine matter so that IL will not
entail loss to the jobber.
The members Of the association, while
being a lot of genial men, are very close

MINISTER'S AFTER SALOON KEEPERS
Association II Determined 10 Close
the Bars In Clinton.

CLINTON, la, March Especial THE
Ministerial association of this city has
started out with a determination to close
every saloon in the city and the members
have begun injunction proceedings against
eighteen OF the saloon keepers OF the city.
The only method open for the liquor deal
ers TO escape prosecution is to come under
the provisions OF the muct law, and this
they refuse to do. In order to create public
sentiment, the Minister'S association
brought A, c. Rankin, a temeprance lee
turer, to Clinton. where he delivered a
series Of lectures to large audiences. The
liquor dealers promised to operate under
the mulct law providing enough slgners
could be secured to the petition of consent.
The petition was circulated and enough
signers were secured to allow the saloons
to operate
The Ministerial association promised tho
liquor dealers that il they would operate
their places in accordance with the law
there would be no Interference. This the
liquor dealers consented to do, but took
no further action in the matter Yester-
day committee from the association
waited on the saloon keepers and on being
informed that the liquor dealers did not
intend 10 comply with the law, decided 10
close all the saloous in the city
Many OF the leading business men are

HARD ON THE NERVES
RUNNING TRAINS OVER MOUNTAIN
ROADS is RISKY WORK.

1t Takes Youth and Strength and
Courage to Hold an Engineers Job
ON One of These Brain Whir1ing,
Nerve Hacking Runs.
the real mountain roads, like the Colo
RADIO Midland, the Rio Grande Western
and the Denver and Rio Grande, is in
getting engineers" said the city pas
senger agent of the Rio Grande West
ern road. This gentleman is familiar
with all the intermountain roads,
where the trains have to all but fly to
reach some of their destinations.
Zone might suppose that all roads
would look alike to the experienced en-
gineer, but they don't. Along some of
the prairie roads an engineer can take
a run on any new track almost as well
as on one he has travelled for years and
knows with his eyes shut. But here in
the west 1t is different. Down in Colo
RADIO, where are some of the greatest
monuments to the railroad builder that
have ever been erected, an engineer
has to travel over the roads sometimes
for weeks with old, experienced engi-
neers who know the track before he
will be trusted with a train. 1t isn't a
question of engineering ability; merely
one of experience.
1T is enough to take fellows nerve
to sweep around some of those noun
tain curves and passes for the first
time. Some good men never take more
than their first ride. l have seen engi-
neers come from the east, men of gilt
edge character and ability, who lost
their nerve with the first trip and took
the first train for a fatter country.
Dizzy reverse curves, trestles that
seem to totter in the wind, precipices
that seem to yawn for fellows life
and grades that are a revelation Of
horror to the newcomer crowd in be-
wildering confusion on the view, and
unless fellow is as stolid as an OK or
nervy as the mischief he is apt to lose
his head.

picturesque, more prosaic run. 1t takes
youth and strength and courage of a
rare order to stand it ALL The compa-
MES are the most appreciative in the
world, for they realize how hard it is to
get a good man. and they treat a good
man right royalty. But even this does
not attract surplus of the right sort.
"The principal dangers are in the
heavy grades and in the sharp curves,
though landsldes are far from I'M
known One must know his train and
his road like a book to get through
with his life Oh the Marshall pass, for
instance, where you seem to plunge
headlong down the mighty hill. A rock
on the track, a broken wheel, runa-
way car or q failure of the brakes to
work would end in a smash up that
would startle the whole country. The
hill might be a glare of ice or frost, 1t
might be wet or snowy, and if you set
the airbrake too hard so as to start the
wheels to sliding down the hill you go
like a gigantic toboggan, with death
and destruction at the end of the ride.
The management of the airbrake and
knowing where the curves and danger
Gus places are is the greatest part of an
engineers education in the mountains.
"For my own part, knowing the dan

few weeks ago and was glad when
the ride was over. 1t makes fellow
feel trembly like to think what might
be, though the worst rarely happens.
Such is the care taken in equipment
and in getting the best men that the
mountain roads have as small proper
ton of losses as the dead level roads of
the plains. But it takes man of nerve
to pilot a train through some of the
wilder regions.
ga freight train is the worst, in that
it is much heavier than passenger
and is expected to make almost the
same time. All the heavy stock trains
going east, % to 30 cars, make passen-
ger schedule. A freight is so loosely
coupled as to be very Interchangeable at
critical points. The stock trains are the
terror of the engine drivers and all the
trainmen.
ga fellow isn't necessarily coward
when he throws up his job as engineer
over the mountain roads, after seeing
what the dangers are. Not one passen-
ger in 10000 would assume the same
danger. The position calls for absolute
ly steady nerve, and one who feels that
he is likely to get ratified is dangerous
to himself, to the company and to all
who ride behind him. A man must
think and act like lightning in the face
of so many dangers that he must be
sure of his ability to stand the strain.
No one stays any great number of
years. 1t is beyond ones power to do
so and be safe. A man may be brave
and willing and all that, but these are
not enough. He must be sure and proof
against stampede. Such man is worth
everything to the companies, and they
treat him like a ce."-Butte Inter-
