MOST PRESSING NEED
OF MODERN RAILROADS
Able Men Necessary In All Branches to
Make Il Pay.

A railroad is machine for making
money, and the machine must be kept in
good order. TO this end sound construc-
tive material is wanted and insisted upon,
says Golfers Weekly. Twentieth cen
fury railway managers have a weakness
for men who do their work well. They
have an idea that by lifting the efficient
ones to higher seats the road is benefited
in dollars. This idea governs employ
ment.
Suppose the applicant for position is
an engineer. He is assigned to a loco
motive, in charge of a fireman, but I'M
Ger the general instructions of the en-
gineer During. a period of from two
weeks to a month he works without pay
because it IS only tentative service
meant to put him to the final test of his
potential fitness for the work If he
comes out all right the engineer gives
him certificate to the effect that he is
believed to possess the makeup needful
to locomotive engineer.
Once in possession of this certificate Of
potential fitness. the young man is soon
found on the freight engine as fireman,
drawing full pay. In this capacity he
serves not less than three years. Then
of a freight engine. This point attained.
he is practically assured that he will in
time be appointed to a position of the
hrst class-that of engineer Of passen-
ger train.
The operating department is one that
attracts many young men not OF the
mecnanlcal turn OF mind. They begin
yariously. as students" in telegraph Of
fees, ticket offices, signal towers, etc.
1t takes them six months or year to
gain practical knowledge of the routine
duties of the men in the lower grades of
operating workmen over whom it is their
aim. as rule to exercise supervision.
During the period of studenthood they
receive from SIS to $40 a month Having
served the time needful to fit him for the
responsibility, the new railroader is ap-
pointed agent at minor station-a tele-
graph operator, toWerman or switch
man. The pay of station agents or OBJ
orators ranges from $40 to $50 a month,
and switchmen get from $50 to $40 a
month.
The term of apprenticeship for a train
man is the shortest of all, and on account
of the quickly acquired earning capacity
the larger number are attrac ted to this
branch of railroading. Within a month
the new man may become q brakeman on
freight train at $50 to SIS a month In
two years he may become a freight con-
ductor, at $50 to $1c0 a month. In six
years. according to conditions, the post
of passenger conductor may be his at a
salary ranging from $50 to $12O a month.
In the train service the matter of prece-
dence depends almost wholly on individual
merit and seniority.

The Norfolk & Western says it's enor-
nous traffic has taxed the resources of
the company to the utmost and equipment
additions are needed. Material advance
in wages of employees have been made and
other advances in contemplation in the
near future. The increases in freight
traffic, according to their answer, are ne
cessitated by the advanced price of ma
terial and the partly advanced price of Ia
Dor and steady increase of about $150,0
per annum in taxes. The demands of the
public are stated to be increasing and the
only thing that the company has to sell is
transportation.
The price of transportation, the road
says, must be sufficient for the adequate
and proper management and conservation
of the property. The answer of the Lake
Shore is along similar lines.

REVOLUTIONARY MUSkET
THAT is WORTH MILLIONS
Michigan Man Said to Have Novel
Title to Property.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. ~
Members of the Stoy family all over
the United States, including Mayor
FRANKLIN P. Stoy, have been interested
In finding the possessor of a certain
Revolutionary musket, ownership of
which may carry with it the inheri-
lance Of an estate in Troy, Pa, worth.
1t Is said, several million dollars A
letter received by Mayor Stoy prob
ABLY settles the question of ownership
OF the gun, Isaac Stay. of Sherwood,
Mich, stating that he IS its possessor
Seventy years ago the property in
question was leased to John Stoy. the
father of Isaac. At that time it was
found that the grant to the original
lease had a clause which provided that
any dispute in regard to succession OF
the property was to be settled by the
possession of a Revolutionary musket
which was minutely described and
spoken of as having been carried by
one Of the original Stoys at the Corn
wallis surrender at Yorktown. The
musl1et was to be passed to the near
est heirs of the holders of the lands
and to be absolute proof of ownership
The hunt for the gun shows that d
few years ago it came into Isaac's pos
session. Mayor Stoy has informed him
of the queer circumstances under
which the big bequest is to be made
and backed by the remainder Of the
Stoy family, Isaac Stoy will make a
fight for the estate.

TO CONNECT WITH BLACK HILLS.
Eastern Syndicate Proposed to Estab-
Iish Line to ST. Paul.

The Chamber of Commerce yester-
day received a communication from L.
c. Twombly, of Minneapolis, in which it
was stated that a syndicate of Eastern
capitalists had under consideration the
construction of line of railroad that
would provide direct connection be-
tween the Black Hills and st. Paul,
The capitalists, it was said, intended
to begin the building of the Wyoming
& Black Hills railway in the spring,
and that road would be constructed
from Aberdeen to Pierre and from
thence to Belle Fourche. Mr.. Twombly
further stated that the opening of such
connection would mean considerable to
the business interests of the Twin
Cities, especially, he said, live stock
would be sent here which is now sent
to the Southwest. Over 100000 head
were last year sent in this direction,and
the communication said that these
could be diverted towards St. Paul.
Mr.. Twombly asked the chamber to
use it's efforts to assist in the sale or
stock.
