5discloses that one of the sons of Jul
JUS kruttschnitt, director Of operation
and maintenance OF the Harrimansys-
tenn, is trying 10 work his way up from
the bottom without the pull which
might be exertcd in his behalf. It$an-
5nounces that L. II. Kruttscfnitt has
been appointed assistant roadmaster of
the Siskiyou district Of the Shasta
division of the Southern Pacific, with
headquarters at Weed, Gal. The cir
culars was the first intimation the
elder Kruttschnitt5h had OF his sons APP
pontment The headquarters referred
to Is n lumber town in the heart OF
the SiskiNou mountains. {
The position which young Kruttscll-
nit, who is a Yale graduate. has ac-
copied. is so humble that heretofore
none but track laborers have aspired
to it. His duties will be hossfng
gang made up Of Greeks, Italians and
possibly Japanse. BY doing this rough
work he hopes to#secure a practical
knowledge of track constructi6n,5af after

This section and the. immense through wheat traf- fife that it will originate, is a. vital factor in the plans of the government for the eastern section, and the report that electric operation is under con sideration acquires significance for this reason. According to official figures, the wheat fields of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta are today producing only fraction of their fu- .ture possible yield, and it is under stood that Canadian traffic men anti cipate a big double movement of ex- port grain, part going to Atlantic ports, as at present, and part heading westward, as predicted by Charles M. Hays, for Prince Rupert and the Pa cific ocean. The Grand Trunk Pa cific is the nerthernmost railroad on the continent, and is opening up coun- try once thought inaccessible but now proving to contain some of the most fertile agricultural lands in Canada.
