The first American railway-not
built for steam cars. howcver-was
made to haul Quincy granite for The
Bunker Hill monument. That was in
1920. II was three miles long. The
FIRST railway built for steam cars was
the Charleston and New Hamburg line,
In South Carolina. This was for some
time the longest line IN the world, 1877
miles.
The first locomotives weighed three
TO fiyo tons. An imported English loco
motive weighing ten tons was TOO

RAMsDELL RESIGNS.
The Efficient Car Inspector Of the San.
"a F. viii Go to the Chesapeake
& Ohio.

It Ii anouced that T. N. Ramsdell
chief al inspector Of the Santa Fl
system. with headquarters in Topeka
has resigned that position to accept
the position OF master car builder fol
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. Il
is not yet known where Mr.. Rams
dells headquarters will be, but as thu
Chesapeake 4 Ohio's principal shops
are located at Huntington, Va, that
Is probably where he will hereafter
be located.
Although only thlrty-fye years old
Mr.. Ramsdell is thoroughly equipped
for his work and will be able to han
die the duties or his new position In
a manner c~reditable to himself. He
has been associated with the car de.
partments OF railroads for a number
OF years and as q result there is not
much about q railroad coach that he
doesn't understand, Moreover he has
made a great many friends during the
time he has been with the Santa Fe,
which fact Is a good illustration Of
his ability to get along well with the
men under him. Among those who
know him well there Is not a doubt
but what ho he will succeed admirably
as the master car builder OF the Ches-
cpeake & Ohio.
Mr.. Ramsdell has been with the
Santa Fe for about fifteen years. He
was formerly with the Wisconsin Cen
trail but resigned TO become coach car.
ponter in the local shops Of the San
Ia Fe. Ho worked at this for a short
time and was then promoted to the
position Of car foreman at La Junta,
From there he went to Albuquerque,
N. NJ, where he served as general car
foreman on the Santa Fe coast lines
until about three years ago when he
came back to Topeka as general car
inspector of the entire system.
The position Of car builder OF the
Chesapeake & Ohio Is practically a
new one. having been lately created
by the officials Of that road. Mr.,
Ramsdell Is the first man to fill that
position. He will assume his new dn.
tics Just as soon MS his resignation
with the Santa 70 becomes effective.
This will probably be In about a week.

FAREWELL FOR REV. WOLFE.
Swea City Raptists Say Affectionate
goodbye to Sick Pastor.

Swea City, Aug. Cit was with sim
cere feelings of affection that the men,
bers of the Baptist church felt as they
gathered at the depot Tuesday after
noon to bid their former pastor. Rev.
j. n. r. Wolfe, and family goodbye.
The parting was all the more sad. as
all realized that it would doubtless be
the last journey, and perhaps the last
time that they would see him. Rev.
Wolfe was called to the pastorate at
this place last fall and started in his
work under favorable circumstances.
But he was not permitted to occupy the
pulpit many times ere he was taken
sick and for the past seven months has
been confined to the house. The doc
tors diagnosed his case as a growth on
the intestines, and at times he suffers
great pain. 1t was not until lately that
Rev. Wolfe gave up all hope and sent in
his resignation, and asked that he be
relieved of the responsibility as their
pastor On being relieved Of the re-
sponsibility of the pastorate he decided
to move at once to Cherokee, Iowa.
where Mrs. Wolfe's people live.
