VIII DredEe the Tiber.

A royal commission was appointed some
time ago in Italy to study and report
upon the important question of the pro-
posed river communication between Rome
and the sea. Up to the present all goods
sent by steamer for Rome and its district
are either unshipped at Civita Yecchia. a
distance OF some fifty miles, or at some
other more distant port. Four schemes
were submitted to the italian government
for connecting the city with the sea,
which is only short distance. and the
royal commission has now adopted the
one prepared by the Italian board OF
works. which advocates the dredging Of
the Tiber TO a depth sufficient to allow
ordinary steamers to approach Rome.

hind the SmOkestacks" in cutting the
waste out OF operating expenses, a big
railroad in the West has contrived to
save as much as $4,000 a month. with
tho result that a threatened deficit has
been turned into a poft. Now the men
are working hand in hand with the gen.
eral manager with as much enthusiasm as
though each OF them had a certificate Of
stock IN his pocket.
The road In question IS the Chicago. ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway. Of
which Marvin Hughitt is president. and
the story Of General Manager A. w. Tren-
hOlms remarkable achievement is told in
Cooperative Railroading." by VIII A.
Campbell. in Van Norden Magazine.
When confronted by a loss IN gross
earnings Of 100000 In one month and more
than that IN net earnings for the year,
Mr.. Trenholm decided that the trouble
vas not so much adverse legislation as
waste. With President Hughitt's approval
he called the men together and stated the
case clearly and frankly
The result was q revelation TO the gen
ersl manager For the first time he heard
trom the lips of gray-headed engineers
how thousands Of tons OF coal are wasted
and how locomotives are torn TO pieces
az n cost OF 800 TO 800 when the trouble
could be located and repaired by the en-
gineer for a few dollars.

Freight handlers confessed how cars are

No time was lost in putting the CO.
operative plan into action. and a few
months later SEQ of the employees had
been an unqualified success During the
month Of January $4,000 had been saved
$4,000 on fuel alone. In the following

II was an old story once both conf.

from frequent reading.
Ever since the founding of Sauger's,
Old Joe had figured in the history of
the little mountain settlement, at first

vicissitudes of miners life he had
slipped down to his present position

not until one morning I'm July that he
and his mule were seen In marching
