OBSOLETE RAILWAY TRACKS
Rails In the United States Have Not
Been Brought Up with Other
improvements.

Railroad tracks have not In the
United States shared in the improve
ment that has been made in other fea-
lures Of railroad engineering, says the
Engineering Record. Track has not
kept pace with locomotives, cars or
bridges. and railroad accidents result
largely from primitive methods still
employed in respect to matchmaking
and repairing. The steam locomotive
has been brought to a high degree OF
efficiency, the electric locomotive is &C
complishing remarkable results and Is
used to an extent which surprises
those not previously acquainted with
the numbers already manufactured
for special purposes, bridges can be
built &c, carry any loads, but the track
does not seem TO be materially better
than 1t was % years ago, except for
heavier rails. 1t is surprising that
more accidents do not occur on some
roads where tie renewals are con-
sidered an expensive luxury and track
work is attended to by low grade of
laborers without responsible superyl-
sion. The number Of heavy passenger
trains sent at high speeds over poor
track in this country is probably very
great, and the comments on this fea-
ture of our railway practice by the
foreign engineers who visited this
country last spring were not at all fiat
tering.
The reason seems to be that rail,
road track building has been left
largely to ordinary hands, while loco
motives, cars and bridges have been
constructed by educated engineers.

SAW FIRST RAILWAY BORN.
Man Who Was Present When B. &
o.'s First Spadeful Of Earth
Was Dug.

Born November 4, 1918. Just think
what that means! To have lived in
Tine when men wore ruffled shirts
and laces, with breeches and pumps.
This is what William G. Clark. of
1t. Louis, can go back to. and his rec
ollecreAs IF his childhood and boy
mood read like an old tale of the reyo-
utionary days. says the Denver News.
1T was only July 4. 1928" said he,
that saw Charles Carroll. of Carroll
on, dig the first spadeful Of earth for
ne laying OF the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. This was the first railway
built in this country, and Mr.. Carroll
took up the earth with small silver
spade. | see this spade, with the first
locomotives run on this road, at all
The exposiiions that visit.
1T took them eight years TO build
to Frederick City, which is so miles
out from Baltimore. They sent to
North Carolina Tor the wood to make
the ties, and these were inlaid or NOR
tised In the center with yellow pine.
On top OF these carefully prepared ties
there were wooden rails held down by
wedges, and then on top of these were
iron rails one-half inch thick. two
inches wide and IS feet long,
When the road had been built out
70 miles to Ellicott City there were
cars put on which were pulled by three
or four horses each. These coaches
would hold about so people. and have
ridden In them many times.
Then locomotives were introduced.
At this time the passenger coaches
were built with wheels that had spokes
and not one solid piece, as they are
now. They had found that the yellow
pine of the ties was perlshable, and
about 1880 to 1888 they began taking
out these and laid cut stone, and put
the rails fiat on to this foundation.
The spikes were put In and molten
lead poured in to make them firm in
the holes that had to be previously
cut into the stone to allow them to
enter. The company brought stone
cutters all the way from Massachusetts
to do this work.
when they had laid about nine or
ten miles of this stone foundation,
they found that running the coaches
over 1t broke the spokes of the wheels
and so 1t was discontinued. All of
these things will sound strange
enough to people in this day and gen.
Grafton"
When Mr. Clark was IS years old he
started from home to make his fortune
further west. He Travelled to the end
of the Baltimore & Ohio, which was
only so miles out of Baltimore, and
from there by stage and river boats
arrived in ST. Louis in September Of
1886, having taken just Is days to
make the journey, which is now made
in less than "a hours On the morning
that he arrived in st. Louis the "Re-
public" which is now in its ninety
eighth year. was published for the first

If the cod fish became extinct

Warburton reluctantly surrendered

authority TO demand the rose; but
Warburton would no more have
thought of disobeying than of running
away.
"You will give 1t back to me?"
