No other business to-day offers
as many and as great opportuni-
ties to young men stenographers
as the railroad business. This is
true of all departments of the bus
mess; it is especially true of the
traffic department, says S. O. Dunn
in the Workers Magazine.
Former stenographers are rail
road presidents, vice presidents,
general managers, traffic managers.
There is not high salaried, covet-
ed position that former steno.
graphers are not filling on one or
more roads.
The number of them who will
occupy such positions ten years
hence will be much greater than it
is now. The extensive use of
shorthand and typewriting in rail
road offices is comparatively re-
cent development. Since its in.
PRODUCTION not only have numer-
GUS stenographers climbed up to
high offices, but a much larger
number have risen to subordinate
bnt impol tant places. These men
are the general and executive Off
GERS of the future.
Probably the career of no Amer
ican railroad man better illustrates
the opportunities of the stenogra.
pher in railroad work than that of
Charles M. Hays, vice president
and general manager of the Grand
Trunk and president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railways. Mr.. Hays
entered the railroad service 23
years ago as a clerk in the passen
ger department of the Atlantic e.
Pacific railroad at st. Louis.
Perceiving the advantage a
knowledge of stenography would
give him, he studied it and became
secretary of the general manager
of the Missouri Pacific. He must
have thought promotion was slow
in coming, for he held this posi-
ton and that of general manager
of the Wabash, st Louis & Paci-
fic, nine years. Then his oppor-
tunity arrived and he was advanc.
ed SO fast that within seven years
he was vice president and general
manager of the Wabash.
Mr.. Hays was president of the
Southern Pacific when E. III. Har-
riman acquired it in 1901. He
speedily resigned because he felt

AShenfdter to Use Water.
Muntr,~r l'p~~.l

District Judge Shackleford handed
down very important decree last
Saturday afternoon in the famous water
suit against John Ashenfeltcr, which,
while it is but temporary and has no
bearing upon the final outcome of the
case, it directs the water commissioner
of this district to continue to turn the
water Mr.. Ashenfelter and others pur-
chased several years ago, into the
Montrose and Delta canal until a final
adjudication is had of the matter,
instead of letting the water flow down
the Uncompahgre river to the original
point of diversion of the priorities held
by Mr.. Ashenfelter. The case. hinges
upon the question of whether one can
purchase priority below and have the
point of diversion of the water to any
ditch up stream. Judge Shackleford
reasoned that this water had been flow
ing to Mr.. Ashenfelter for about II
years without molestation and 1t would
be no great injury to the petitioners to
let 1t continue until a final adjudication
was had.

Significant Advice.
InInd junction New p

This paper has always claimed that
it is not wise in this valley where the
reliability of our fruit crops exceeds
that of any other known section. to
place all our hopes upon one class of
fruit. or upon a single variety of a
class. The Elberta peach is one of the
finest grown. the most prolific and the
best shipper. but the experience Of
this spring shows that it is the most
tender of all the varieties and the most
liable to be caught by late freeze.
In those orchards where very large
per cent of the Elbertas are destroyed
other varieties will have good crop.
This is mistake which the people at
the east end of the valley have made
and are making this spring. They have
in the past pulled out ell their apple
trees and have set to Elberta peaches.
and as We mentioned few days ago
ninety-five per cent of the nine cars
shipped in this spring are Elbertas. 1t
may be that experience will prove that
the loss OF one crop in dozen years
will more than even up the profits on
the Elbertas over other varieties, but
we must always remember that there
is danger of a loss in every section no
matter what the record has been.
