The ice famine which prevailed dur
ing the past summer, will not occur
the coming season if the plans of Mr..
George Mcclure, who has spent several
days in Estancia this week, looking
over the ground, donot mi8carry. Mr..
Mcclure is interested in the Crystal
Ice Company of Las Vegas. and it is
his intention to erect a large storage
plant here, which he will fill during the
winter, while the plant is not rushed
with orders. This will insure 600
supply during the whole Of the coming
summer, not only for home consump-
tion, but also for shipment to the var
ious towns throughout the valley.
After looking over the proposition
here, and meeting our business men,
Mr. Mcclure let yesterday for Santa
Fe, where he will secure a building
ste and side track along the railroad
rght-of-way, so as to reduce the hand
ling Of the ice to a minimum. Such an
institution would no doubt prove sue
cessful here, as last summer the secur-
ing of ice was almost an impossibility,
the result being number of "warm
people" about the town.

than would an ordinary lecture. The
car has also been fitted with a min
iature electric block signal section of
track. giving practical demonstration
OF signal operation.
In this novel schoolroom car the in
structor on rules and regulations of
the transportation department imparts
knowledge and holds examinations of
those who cannot avail themselves Of
the regular board of examiners upon
entering the service or when seeking
promotion.
With the board of examiners train,
there is a car containing the r-brake
equipment of freight train in all its
details and of working size. This
equipment is also used for examination
and instruction. Twice a year this
car is fitted up with appliances for ex-
animation and tests of accuracy of Wis
ion and hearing. These tests are car
ried out by railroad surgeons, and
through the tests must pass all en-
ployes connected with the operation Of
trains.
II is not only subordinate employees
who are included in the Union Pacific's
educational activities. General and
divisional officers not only meet
among themselves at stated periods.
but have in addition a general annual

aminer on the instruction car will be
assisted by n conductor or engineer of
special capabilities. or by the train
master or assistant superintendent of
the division upon which instruction is
being given.
With the increasing complication of
the science of railroading nearly every
man on the rolls must be an expert.
and it is only by constant instruction
on the part Of employees that they can
keep up with their duties or prepare
to go into higher grades of employ
ment. The Union Pacific system is
very much like that now in force in the
navy. Time was when naval promo
ton came about almost unfailingly
with length of service. Now the rail-
road man, like the naval officer. must
show an exact knowledge OF his in
tricate duties before he can secure adj
yancement.

New York. Aug. 16.-tSpecial Corre-

Equipped with air brakes and signal
apparatus instead of states and black
boards, and manned by a faculty of
railroad experts. the instruction car of
the Union Pacific railroad has started
on an examination of 5000 miles OF
territory. In this school house awheel
has lately been carried out a two
months campaign of education; now
examination time has begun for the
largest class of students ever brought
together by one set of schoolmasters.

regulations was adopted by the COM
pany Sixty-three of the rules were

pany's instruction car started June 1st
upon lecture tour covering 2I6O

gineers. flagmen, foremen. baggage
men. section and bridge fOremen and
others, the company's rules governing
movement OF trains, general regula-
tons. instructions as to signals and
other details of railroad operation have
been carefully explained.
These employees must show how
we'll they understand their duties.
Though they have only one text book.
the course Of study is as extensive and
the standards as exacting as those OF

The student of railroading must know.
General impressions will not answer
the requirements. for the whole object
Of the Union Pacific's education sys-
| TEN is to secure a uniform under
standing of the rules, therby avoiding
accidents and delays, besides laying
the foundation for n better general
railroad education.

and time" says General Manager Moh-

reading has become of such scientific
nature that the old methods are en-
