Gossip Of Rai!waymen

These big men are not so wise after
all" observed a well known railroad
man in the rooms of the Transporta-
tion club, 'for no one would imagine
that the great James ]. Hill was about
the easiest man to bunko that 1 ever
knew.
There was a major of militia in
Seattle, who, having no other occupa-
tion. called himself an engineer of irri-
cation. He was a fiery southerner,
and because I limited to him that he
knew nothing about engineering he
told me he would slay me or any man
who cast aspersions on his engineer
ing abilities. AS he was a deadly shot
no one ventured after that TO make any
disparaging remarks
He had some maps made of the Pen
d'Oreille region, went to Hill. gave him
a long talk OF the benefits that would
accrue from irrigation, and wound up
by saying that IL Hill would put up
half the sum required. he would put up
the other half. At that time the Major
did not have SO in the world and had
to hold up the agent OF the Northern
Pacific at Seattle for pass east to see
Hill
Hill put up the coin and paid for the
lumber and the hauling OF material for
the ditch, that was to be Is miles long
The Major sent the most glowing re-
ports, but when the first five miles
were completed, strange to say, the
water refused to run up hill, at which
Hill got mad, declared all the work
off, and the Major. though out of a
job, managed to live for year or two
In comparative comfort without the
need OF exploiting any more schemes"
Some time ago the rate on gas and
c~oc c1lf fna 7rfr ha
cifc coast points was s1.25 per 100
pounds. This rate was advanced,
however, to $1.40 per 100 pounds, not
withstanding the vigorous protests
from the agents of eastern factories
with headquarters in the east. A fur
ther advance OF $3.50 per 100 pounds
was proposed and adopted at recent
meeting OF the transcontinental lines.
Eastern factories. however, have con-
vinced the carriers that the proposed
rate Of $3.50 would be prohibitive be-

of $1.40 per 100 pounds.
81 believe" said an old engineer,
that the hardest job on railroad is
that of an engineer. He not only has
to be a man of exceptional ability, but
has to deal with the worst lot OF men
in the world. There are more true
Bohemians and vagrants in the lower
ranks of the engineering profession
than any other.

deal of engineering work going on

could. A man applied for the job of
