dangerous and responsible positions

necessary in firing those great blasts.
to see that all is right, and that men

The above is my opinion from

ber of the committee was, in an Of

a dozen lives, or wreck a Bucyrus

sand dollars, besides the demoraliza-

the drive wheel and see the havoc
and destruction that follows. The
powder man is the main cog in the
drive wheel, and his pay is small
enough for the risk and danger he
runs.
But few know or can realize the
power OF dynamite. Why, a single

LOOKING OVER GREAT WESTERN

Acting in the interests of the de-
benture holders both in the United
States and England, Horace G.. Burt,
former president of the Union Pa
cific, is making thorough investi-
cation of the condition of the Chi
cago Great Western road, it is un-
derstood, is to determine the physi-
cal value of the property, and the ef-
tlclency OF the present management.
In investigating traffic conditions on
the road Mr.. Burt is expected to
take into consideration whether the
Chicago Great Western would not be
mora d3pfoftable if merged with some
big system like the Canadian Pa
cific in which many of the English
holders of Great Western debenture
stock are interested.
MIR. Burt is an expert in both
railroad traffic and railroad operat-
ing and is thoroughly familiar with
the conditions of the country
through which the Chicago Great
Western runs He was in the engi-
neering department Of the Chicago
& Northwestern for ten years.
Later he was division superintend-
ent, for the same road in Iowa and
afterwards general manager of the
Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis &
Omaha.
The investigation. is being made by
Mr.. Burt, so that the stockholders
may be better able to determine how
the road shall be rehabilitated in a
financial way. The plan which has

ought to be set clear on the plea of in

which blinds a man to all consequences
and all moral. properties. That Pitts

mad. He didn't use even good com.

and was SO eager to get rich quick that
he took risks that a cat wouldn't take
