Of Utah south Of Salt Lake came this
way, If it came BY rail. The road was
built first down TO Sandy. and then
down TO Lehi. Later it was extended
to Provo, and in april, 1873, il was run
TO York. This was the terminus for
several years, and then it was extend
ed to Juab, and finally to Frisco.
Whenever the railroad reached a town
in those days there used to be a big
celebration. A large part Of the people
had never. seen a railroad and a train
was a good deal of a curiosity to them.
They used to turn out and there would
be speech-making, a barbecue some
times, and a big time generally For
that matter, / frequently carry people
on my run UP from Nsphi even in these
days who are taking their first rides on
a railroad train. They come from
southern Utah and Nevada
brigham Young and William Jen-
nings were presidents of the old Utah
Southern, and many and many a time
has President Young ridden with me.
There was no general manager. Fera-
morz Little was the first superinten-
dent. He was succeeded by Bishop
John Sharp James Sharp was assist
ant superintendent, and John Sharp.
jr., and Francis Cope were successive
~ general freight and passenger agent.
J. II. Rumell was train dispatcher.
Nearly all the men who worked on the
road when it was being built are dead
or out of the railroad business. About
the only one left is r. @. Pitt the pres
ent yarumaster in Salt Lake, who
worked with me when 1 was yard
master, a little less than thirty years
ago.
when you consider that not a man
on that road had had any previous rail-
road experience, it is wonderful that
everything went along as smoothly as
it did. OF course there were not as
many trains as there are now, but still
there was a good business. There were
no special rights for trains then. Ev-
erything was decided in the dispatch
ers Office as to meeting places and
rights of the trains
"a noticeable change from those days
is the difference in the familiar feeling

between the officials and the men. I
was hurt at Sandy one day The for
ward brake broke as I was running q
few cars down the grade. 1 went back
to set the rear brake, but before
could stop the ears there was a col
lisiOn and / was mashed between the
cars. I was laid up for nine months
and came near losing my leg. During
that time the president OF the road, the
superintendent, the vice president and
general freight and passenger agent
and other officials Of the road were over
to see me. and nearly every one took
a turn sitting up with me when I was
worst. Do you suppose there is a rail
road in the country where a brakeman
now would have the same attention
when he was hurt? ?"
Except for that nine months when he
was laid up. Mr. AcCmb has been con
tinuously in service. He rounded on
his thirty years in the employ of th
Short Line Sept IS last, and his con-
panions say he is good for at least hal
that many more years in active servic
if he cares to remain in the harness
that long.

Among the msEy entertainments OF
the week were number Of Christmas
trees given for the children Of the varis
ous Sunday schools. All were thor.
oashly eajoyed.
The children Of s.. Marks, Episco-
pal, Sunday school had their Christmas
celebration on Friday after the regular
evening services. They marched frem
the chuEch into the parish hall sin ging
Christmas carols. In the hall was
large tree beautifully decorated and
weighted down with candy asd fruits.
One Of the noteworthy features of this
occasion was the fact that there were
no presents, but the candy and fruit,
as the children had agreed beforeha
that instead of presents being distri.
buted to them the money should be
given to the needy. This unselfish aca
tion on their part surely added more
pleasure to the occasion than the ouf-
tomary presents would have done
They sang their carols heartily, and
Will long remember the event.

the public schools of st. Paul has been
taught that love of birds and trees Is
commendable and praiseworthy ana
should always be encouraged. The day
was celebrated throughout the state ac>
cording to the directions given In the
proclamation of Gov. Van SAINT, and en-
thusiasm was evident in the younger ele-
ment locally as We'll as elsewhere. In
the larger schools, of the state the pro-
grammes were carried out according to
the directions of Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction Olson, which We're drawn
up in line with the proclamation. They
included the reading of poems and prose
stories about trees, plants and birds, the
singing of patriotic songs, the planting
Of trees and in several cases, the read
ing of the proclamation.
Supt Lewiston, of the public schools
here has not secured reports as to how
the programmes We're carried out in St
Paul or where trees and seeds have been
planted, but he stated last night that
exercises of some kind or other were
held in nearly all Of the schools, and
about one-third of them celebrated by
planting trees or seeds. At the Lincoln
and Hendrickson schools particularly, the
tree planting was the feature of the day.
The kindergarten schools planted seeds
instead of trees and lectures about seeds
and trees followed the ceremonies.
1t must be said for Manchester college
that it broke the record yesterday, not
only for the city but perhaps for the
