A. B. Cults Returns From a Trip
With Illinois Central Passen.
ger Officials.
They Had Continuous Escort by
Relays and Successful
Trip.

General Passenger and Ticket Agent A.
B. Cults Of the st. Louis system has re-
turned from an invasion of the western
territory in which he posted all the ticket
and passenger agents on tne w ds
points Of the Chicago and the Omaha
trains of his line running out OF Mime
apolis. He took the trip in company with
the Illinois Central general passenger Of
ficials and it was the first joint inspection
which has taken place since the two roads
entered into the traffic agreement which
resulted in the North Star train.
Mr. Cults was absent four weeks. With
him were A. H. Hanson, general passeng-
err agent Of the Illinois Central; S. G.
Hatch, assistant, and j. F. Merry. assist
ant. AS the train entered each district
the representatives of that district ac
companied the party thru to the next dis
trict. In this way the inspection party
numbered about ten all the time. Stops
were made at Helena, Butte, Spokane,
Seattle. Victoria. Vancouver, Tacoma,
Portland San Francisco, San Jose, Santa
Barbara. Los Angeles, Redlands,l River
side and Kansas City. In most Of these
cities the two companies have joint agen-
cies.
The trip. which was taken to establish
service with the prominent ticket agents
in the coast country and for inspection OF
the joint agencies. all of which have been
established within two years. was success
full. It was the largest force of representa-
tiyes which ever went out there to intro
duce a line. Mr.. Cults said to-day:
I'VE found business interests there
rushing in all lines and the ticket agents
seemed to be glad to greet the representa-
tives Of the lines which made the North
Star Limited famous.
Seattle is a giant these days and is
growing by leaps and bounds. Residences
are scattered all over the outlying dis
tricts for miles. We called on Joe BlethGu
and he showed us over the plant OF the
Seattle Times. We met A. ]. .Blethen In
San Francisco He claims that his is the
best newspaper plant property in the west
and it Is making money. We have opened
up a magnificent ticket Office in the Pal
ace hotel at San Francisco, which is the
finest ticket office and the best located in
the city. ~
California was more beautiful than 1t

that the flowers there are more profuse

TAKEN TN BATTLE
THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF CAPTAIN WESTBROOK.
For a Year After His Capture He Was
Moved From One Prison to Another
and Was Finally Exchanged.

A Confederate force under command of
Brigadier- General John A. McAusland
had attacked, on July 3rd. 1864, a block
house ten miles west of Martinsburg, w.
Va Captain N. S.: Westbrook with the
remnants of Companies B and F of the
135th Ohio Volunteers, made a gallant de
tense. but when a ski gun battery was
brought to bear upon his position. further
resistance became a useless sacrifice of
life. For a, year after his surrender, Cap
tain Westbrook, who now lives at Rip
ley, ILL.,, was confined in Southern prisons.
In telling his experiences he says:
"They took me from one place to an,
| other till I had been in nearly all the
| prisons of the Confederacy, and by the

spring of 1865. I was reduced to physi-

The Wonderful Northwest.

There is no greater country in the
world than our northwestern states" said
General Passenger Agent Charles F. Fee.
of the Northern Pacific, who returned
yesterday from his coast trip. TT is a
wonderful country and when its resources
are developed there will be nothing to
surpass it in all the United States. Lands
that we considered barren and non pro
ductive. when we opened up the territory
in 1888, are now veritable gardens. Espe-
cially is this true Of the district between
Spokane and the Cascade mountains Ir-
rigation has been applied and the barren
wilderness has been converted into one
vast orchard. In that section a man car
produce enough fruit on five acres to af-
ford him comfortable living.

BUYS HORSESHOE
Chicago Great Western Buys Important
Tracks at ST. Anthony.

The Great Western has bought the
horseshoe track of the Minnesota Transfer
company which connects nearly all the
St. Anthony Park industrial plants. 1t
has bought also all private spurs and
sidetracks and additional land with the
intention of making this district a large
manufacturing center
The track swings from the main trans
fer tracks to the linseed oil mill. AS sew
eral of the concerns used the Great West
ern main line for unloading cars, switch
ing was a formidable process. To avoid
this the company will put in new main
line and will build spur tracks on which
the cars will be set for loading.
The Great Western has also acquired
property as far south of University ave-
nue. as Wabash avenue, north of the trans
fer and Milwaukee tracks. Several man
ufacturing sites. it Is said, have been
spoken for in this locality and the road
proposes to build a main line into this
territory. which will open a large tract OF
land suitable for factories, with excellent
trackage facilities.

About Railway Brakes.

The fundamental principle governing
the, application of the brake of a car,
says an engineer who has recently 1nVes-
tigated the subject, is to stop short at the
point where the wheels begin to slip or
"skid" When this occurs. it not only
flattens the wheel, but effective braking
ceases. ''Skidding,'' however, ought not
to occur in practice, for, by the use Of
sand, cars may be stopped as quickly as
is consonant with the passengers safety,
without reaching the sliding point. Any
material increase In brake efficiency
would have to be followed by putting the
passengers into padded compartments.
Hand brakes are found to be quite inef-
fective, and most Of the brakes on trolley
cars are hardly powerful enough to in
sure perfect safety. The Porter Steam
heating plant installed in your home is al
ways a safe proposition and is very
economical. Hundreds in use in Mime
apols. For further particulars see w. F.

$500 cars, with shops and storehouses
for all Also the improvement of a mile
