MOST TRAINS ON TIM !

Denver, Colo, March 4-Ben L.
Winchell, president of the Rock Island
system, who is now in Denver on a
business trip, is regarded by railroad
men and shippers alike as the best
railroad general manager in America
today and the following official report.
received by General Agent George w.
Martin of Denver, shows what win
chellism" means to a big system like
the progressive Rock Island.
Out of fifty-four main line passenger
trains operated over the Rock Island
system yesterday, fifty-one of them
reached their destination on schedule
time. Only three were DELAYED for
minor causes, according to the report
day.
A Marvellous Traffic.
And while these ffty-four passenger
trains were rushing forward and back
and up and down all over the system
there We're 200 freight trains operating
over the same lines at the same time
In order for the main line passenger
trains to reach all the points at which
they stopped, on schedule time, it was
necessary for them to pass these 200
freights. which were heavily laden with
merchandise.
The freights, of course, had to run
into switches and on to sidetracks to
give the passengers the right of way,
but in spite of this handicap every one
of those 200 freight trains was able to
reach all important points on schedule
time, so as to be able to make early
morning deliveries of shipments to the
merchants to whom they were billed.
What Is Termed WincheIIism.
Furthermore, according to the Off
cfal report which comes to President
Winchen every day for inspection,
these perfectly operated passenger
and freight trains had nothing to do
with the trains running on branch
lines, the report only covering main
line trains.
''This excellent record may justly be
termed the results of 'Winchellism,' :"
said G. w. Martin, discussing the re-
port, land 1t shows what great atten-
tion is paid to every detail of railroad
operation these days.
I'm order to accomplish the results
which are outlined in the report for
President Winchel1 these things are
absolutely necessary:
"A1I the machinery must be perfect
1.-THE motive power must be perfect.
F'And the track must be perfect
"These are the mechanical and ply
sicaI conditions which must be con-
sidered first, and then the policy of
the road and the human agencies fol-

entail perfect service is being over

THE SHEEP MANS STORY.

There's n hester at the water hoie--
He's drove his homestakes deep,
And we must move across the plain
Me and three thousand Sheep
For me and Mr.. hester Man
Talked sassy yesterday
conversation in which guns
Had quite a lot to say.
"Move on" zippin' bullet sings
Allyn past my head.
I'll stay awhile" / answered back,
In form of moulded lead.
But when night come we quit our talk,
And L sat down TO think.
And then l knowed that ] must hunt
some other place to drink.
1 knowed the old sheep range was
doomed
I'd fingered there too late;
The homesteader must have his way
tbs in the book of fate
So when the mornin' broke again
slung flag of truce.
And me and Mr.. hester talked
And drank OF friendship juice
He let the sheep band have its oil.
And then l said goodby
And tr9iled the herd, with old Shops
To some more friendly sky.
Where are we goin'? Well. that's
It stumps me, I confess:
There amt no place that welcomes
But old Wall street. 7 guess.
