The Man Who First Ran Night Trains

Leslie Monthly Magazine for September.
Henry Gassaway Davis found his
first advancement when he secured
the coveted position OF brakeman on
Il freight train on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. 1t was not long be-
fore he was advanced to the more
responsible position of freight con-
ductor, responsible i'll these days but
far more so, relatively, i'll those At
twenty-four he was again promoted,
this line to the position of superin-
tendent in charge OF the running of
a1l the trains. He introduced All in

advance step in railroading. Up to
that time, it had not been consider
ed practicable to run trains at night:
when nightfall came, freight trains
and passenger trains alike were tied
up, their journeys to be resumed
only when daylight came. Davis
held there was no good reason why
they should not be run by night as
we'll as by day, and proved it. His

HORACE w. HAvENS FOR SEC
RETARY OF STATE.

Friends OF Horace W. Havens Of
Leadville are already actively push
ing his candidacy upon the demo-
cratic ticket for the Office Of secretary
OF state. As Mr.. Hayens is the only
out and out candidate for that office
to announce himself as yet, and TAX
ing his general fitness for the position
into consideration, there is little
doubt about his securing the nomi-
nation.
There is probably no man that the
democrats could nominate who would
better meet With the approval of the
entire party than Mr.. Havens. He
is thoroughly familiar with the
workings OF the office he is after, as
he was chief deputy Under Secretary
of State Beckwith. Later he became
private secretary to Governor Orman
and thus learned further details OF
the state house business. Adding to
his fitness for the place many other
good qualities Of character, he should
make much better run this time,
when inner dissentions are unsettling
the republican party Of the state,
than he could have done last elec.
tion. when he was candidate in the
convention for the same Office.

The Importance lies in the new ield
OF agriculture opened to the farmers
in this vicinity. The best part of
it is that the very soil that is the
least suited TO the growth OF pota-
toes and other Leading crops here is
the best adapted TO the cultivation
OF the cantaloupe. There is much
more of this same kind of land that
can be made use of for this purpose,
and every acre OF land made more
productive adds Just that much to
the wealth OF the community.
The belief was general that the
season here would be too short tc
ripen this fruit properly, but the tirst
seasons experience has proven differ
emily. The melons here were on the
market just two days later than
those at Rocky Ford, and the local
product is said to in every way equal
the famous Rocky Ford melons The
crop will be handled by the same
commission firm, so that Greeley
will be on an equal footing with
Rocky Ford in this newest of her
important products.
