shoulders the responsibility.
When the locomotive Is ready to leave
the shops It Is inspected jointly by the
shop inspector, under the superintendent
Of shops and an inspector working under
the master mechanic. Every workman
who has any part whatever In the handling
Of the locomotive is responsible to his i'm

1t is caused by a failure of the machinery
Of the locomotive.
Each OF the many locomotives Of big
system-7sO in one case-has a decided In
dividuallty In the eyes OF the railroad. At
headquarters is known not only the cost
Of original construction. but the cost Of
labor and materials used in repairs and
the entire expense Of maintenance down to
date.
The labor Of every man who works for
even an hour upon a certain engine Is
charged TO that engine, each mechanic re-
oording his labor upon a slip OF paper
known as a daily time certificate. which In
turn is certihed to by his immediate fore
man and forwarded to thu, general time
keeper The records OF the road enable
the officials to show the exact cost Of labor
and material for each mile that locomo-
tive travels or each ton hauled.

The Railroad Securities stock represents
control OF about NTOOO.0OO market value
OF Illinois Central stock. The table shows
$4,000 shares of Illinois Central held d.
rectly by the Union Pacific, but the real
amount is somewhat below this. Directly
and through the Railroad Securities COM
pany the Union Pacific has control OF t2S,-
l2s. 100 Illinois Central stock.
IL is doubtful IL the New York Central
stock was bought for $50 per share But
IT is safe to say that in all the Union Pa
cifc has spent from S1l5. 1000 to $4,000 900
Tor Railroad Securities since June 30 last.
II is estimated above that control Of
Railroad Securities company was bought
for 100000 Perhaps the real figure is
above this. The Railroad Securities com
pany has 50, 10000 par value common stock
100000 preferred stock and 8. 10000 bonds
outstanding. or Sl3,GOO.0o0 par value securi-
ties in all.
The important question resulting from
the foregoing is. why did Mr.. Hartman,
on behalf Of the Union Pacific. contract
TO buy more stocks than the Union Pacific
could pay for at the time the stocks were
bought? Perhaps the answer is contained
In the fact that the Union Pacific today
has about S90.OO0,OO0 Hill stocks which may
be disposed q ana the disposal OF which
It appears would just about square the in
vestment business Of the Union Pacific up.
The fact that these stocks were purchased
by the Union Pacific has been published
during the past few months exclusively BY
the Wall Street Journal-the one exception
being the st. Joseph & Grand Island.
T. II. Hartman has imperial ambitions
There Is no doubt that he has had the ad-
vice Of eminent counsel in all his opera
tons. Whether there is any conflict OF
opinion between this advice and the opin-
ion OF the Interstate Commerce commits
sion remains 10 be seen.

Advantages and Drawbacks.
Mr.. Baynes became aware nf the merit
OF his bison team as a means of interesting
people by the interest that he found that
he was taking in them himself. They were

only few months old, and not near half
grown. That YVES the safest age for ex-
perimenting with them, They are not yet
| 8 years old. Their manners combined the
playfulness Of the puppy and the strength
OF the OK. They liked TO roll and tumble
about. and were quite unaware OF their
weight and strength.
They had an adventurous liking for long
! trips over new roads. An attractive look
ing road was a temptation for them to
take the bit into their teeth. Ldghtfooted,
they liked to pull the naturalist over the

this and the Union Pacific. there is equally
no doubt
The union OF the New York Central the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Union

tween New York and San Francisco Is a
project which dates from time immemorial.
Whether the purchase of Chicago & North
western stock and New York Central stock
by the Union Pacific Is the first step in
securing control OF these two roads Is
riddle which everybody is entitled TO guess
at Associates OF E H. Hartman said
recently that the ownership OF the Union

was merely complimentary Investment by
