WILD DASHFOR DOCTOR.
Engine Tears Over Logging Road to Get
Doctor to Save Mother
and Babe

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Jan. A.
Especial. 1.-The life of a mother and a
new bern baby depended upon the serv-
ices of physician and as there was no
doctor at Draper it looked as if the
mother and child would succumb. Con-
ductor Paulley, however, came to the
rescue and telegrapher the Omaha Rail-
way company for permission to run an
engine to Brentwood, forty-three miles
away, for a physician. The request was
granted at once. The run over the rough
logging road was done in record breaking
time and the physician was secured and
the mother and baby are now on the
road to recovery. Paulley says that the
run was made with such speed that at
times it felt as if some of the wheels

more promising rate of progress.
However, the railroad engineers of the
United States are doubtless the most eff
cient class of men in the world, in that
important profession. They have pushed
lines across the continent in compare
lively short spaces of time, in the fact
of almost insurmountable obstacles: ana
now that they have reduced the science
of tunneling to a nicely, and made I'M
derground work cheaper and easier than

stances, they will continue to make sur

Efficiency Of the American Railroad
Builder.

Those who may have regarded the dig
ging of the Panama canal as an almost
hopeless task because of the magnitude
of the operations necessary for the re-
moyal of about 125.000,000 cubic yards
of earth, have an example in the achieve
ments of certain railroad builders in the
United States during 1907 which may
make them more hopeful American
energy is equal to the demands of any
task that American judgment deems
worthy of effort. and if the amount of
digging on the Isthmus of Panama were
