A voluntary raise in the salaries of
the clerks in the employ of the Oregon
Short Line at several terminal points
is taken by railroad men as a move on
the part of the magnates to permit the
employees to have a share in the enor-
nous earnings of the roads and to en-
Joy some of the fruits of the prosperity
which is sweeping over the country,
and especially in railroad circles, says
the Omaha Bee. The roads are max
ing plenty of money to build new lines
the clerks and Office men have been
working along at the same old salaries.
This To- on the Short Line is taken
as an indication that something is to
be done for the betterment of the con-
ditions of other employees. Although
living expenses have been increasing
in the last few years, the clerks have
been working along at the same old
wages and no hope has been held out
to them to better themselves, except in
case of promotion, which in most in
stances is slow. Many of the telegraph
and clerical forces have been raised
voluntarily by the Short Line and an
increase has been granted in the yard
masters Office at Evanston, Granger
and other points, and other clerks on
the Hartman lines are in the hope
that it is to become the popular thing
on all the lines.

clothes. This was one of their cos

the things are sewn together and put

fastened behind with two or three
hooks. There are no strings or bands,
and the child is hardly aware when he
