President Burt Drops Hints Of the In
tentions of the Company During
His Recent Tour of Inspection of
the Wyoming misunderstanding
Light on Subject.

From a source deemed trustworthy,
The Republican learns that it is the
intention of President Burt to make
much more of the shops in this city
than at present. and to SO arrange mat
tiers that the bulk of the repairs now
being done at Cheyenne shall be done
here. The plan is to turn all engines
here. making Laramie the terminus
of both the districts between this city
and Cheyenne and between Laramie
and Rawlins.
President Burt is reported to nave
said a day or two ago, while inspecting
the shops and yards at this point, that
he believed the company had erred in
trying to eliminate Laramie, and that
his plan would be to make this a very
important point in the repairs of the
eastern district of the Wyoming diyi-
sion. One reason for this assertion is
given that not five per cent of the re
pairs the engineers suggest on their
engines when they reach Cheyenne
are made, for the reason that the work
there is heavier than the shops can do.
Engineers are required to report all
repairs needed at the end of each run,
and these are supposed to be made be
fore the engines are turned for another
trip. The work is not done and so the
needs continue to grow until the en-
CINE is compelled to go into the back

neers are lot earning as much money
as they did several months ago. Their
engines reach the district terminals
and are sent to the shops. The engi-
neers lose their turns and have to be
away from home longer with no extra
compensation. Mr.. Burt said that fact
ton.
The cutting off OF the engines here
will give them much longer time in the
shops and round house for the neces-
sary but often small repairs that are
reported by the engineers. When they
are turned out they are in better trim
than when they went in and more cap
able OF doing the work designed for
them.
Mr.. Burt is reported to have said
that these matters were called to his
attention for the first time during his
present trip over the system, and that
they had given a new light upon the
subject. He said it was the intention
of the company to weigh all the sug-
gestions he had received and evolve
the good Of them. 1t is believed the
Laramie shops are a permanent insti-
tuition and hat they will be made
more important than they have ever
been before.

Revelation.

New trains and fact time call for
track improvements. II. C. Wagner.
the prince of railroad men. who is
travelling passenger agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad.
was on his regular trips and was a
pleasant caller at the Independent
Journal office this morning and gave
us information as follows. Mr.. Wag-
ner said:
Heavy trains and fast time have
aroused the railroads to the necessity
of having heavier rails. One of the
first to awake to this need was the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul. Its
construction department is now at
work laying 100 pound steel, oak ties,
rock and gravel ballast on it's Chicago
Milwaukee line, making it the best
piece of track in America. With the
ficials found they must have a solid
track and an increase in the weight
of rails was determined upon as one of
the necessities of the business. The
Pioneer Express is one of the famous
trains of the world. On a recent trip
from Milwaukee to Chicago is consist
ed of thirteen cars and all of them
were pulled by one engine. The cars
used in this train are all of the latest
pattern and size and weigh upwards
of fifty tons each, exclusive of the pas
sengers riding in them. When it is
considered that the train frequently
makes the entire run of So miles in an
hour and fifty minutes. it can readily
be seer that high grade track must be
provided in order to insure safety. The
locomotives on this train weight owe
100 tons. Another Improvement being
made along the line is the elimination
or track tanks. Its Is now possible to
carry enough water for an entire trip
as the engines are being equipped
with larger tank cars. This will add
speed, as the tanks required slowing
down to get water. Besides, in winter
these tanks were frequently frozen
solid, thus providing a great detri
ment to the service"
Happy. you are always welcome.
