When supt. ]. v. Brinkerhoff OF
the U. P. does talk he says something
worth while. This is what he said
to the Salina Journal yesterday:
"There has got to be a change
in business before the railroads are
going to do very much more build
ing. People must remember that
the Union Pacific has hundreds OF
ether towns to look after as well as
Salina and it takes great deal OF
money to keep the improvements up
in the best of shape. When there are
so many towns, the company must
see that the money which is spent
for improvements is distributed.
81 think Salina has had her share,
although / do not blame 1t for want
ing a new depot. The Union Pacific
has spent several thousand dollars
for improvements in Salina during
the last few years. Salina has one
of the best engine houses In the
state. / do not know whether the
company intends to build new de-
pot here or not.
"That new train is coming, but l
do not know when. They are wait
ing on the equipment.
ri never heard about the tie treat
ing plant being moved from Topeka.
The company will use all the ties it
has stored here in keeping the track
in repair.
"I never heard anything about
the Union Pacific double tracking
east of Salina either, and ! do not
know that motor cars are going to be
put out here.
81 notice that the Union Pacific
has had considerable newspaper con-
nection with the north and south line
through Salina, but If the Union Pa
cific is going to have anything 10 40
with such line, it is news to me"
On account of the numerous sto-
ries which have recently been print
ed about his resigning Mr.. Brinker-
hoff was also asked about this.
"Oh, yes, the papers have had me
resigning now for over twelve years
and each year it has been news to
me. haven't thought anything
about it yet"
Mr.. Brinkerhoff also made the
statement that business as a whole
was comparatively light, that the
Union Pacific was earring less freight
now than it was a year ago with the
passenger business about the same.
