SPIRIT OF WORKING TOGETHER
Explanation of the Splendid Record
Made by Railroads of
America.

For the third time this year an
American railroad reports that it has
operated it's lines for 12 months with
out losing the life of single passen-
ger. The Santa Fe, with its 9,794
miles of actively operated track, takes
place with the Burlington and the
Pennsylvania, on this roll of honor.
The Santa Fe carried 12,6O5,697 pas
sengers without fatality.
Wonderful as this efficiency record
is, its explanation is as marvellous.
Even more than to heavy rails, bal
last or equipment" says one of the
roads officials, 1--WE attribute the sue
cessful record for the year to the
spirit of working together, which must
run through the rank and file of the
men operating the trains In other
words, American railroading is rid
ding itself of it's greatest operating
reproach by sheer will power.
This is the force that has leveled
mountains, filled up canyons, bridged
few loftier ideals in the practical work
ings of railroad than the mainten
ance of the sacredness of human life
There is every reason to believe that
it's success has been repeated upon
other lines, and that it will be ex
tended to other systems still as i!
becomes matter upon which all
American railroads feel proud spirit
of emulation.

FOR PAN-AMERICAN RAILROAD
Financiers and Builders Have in Mind
Line to Connect the Two
Continents.

Several railroad magnates have
been approached by officials of the
bureau of American republics, it was
admitted at the headquarters of the
bureau, with a view of interesting
them in the construction of a Pan
American railroad through southern
Mexico, Central America and far into
South America
AS yet none of the capitalists has
informed the bureau of an intention to
construct such a road, but Director
Barrett believes that by the time the
third Pan-American conference meets
in Buenos Aires next year definite
proposition will be ready to submit to
the American nation with view of
asking for moral support. 1t is rec
ognized that governmental aid must
be given to this project, just as the
United States assisted in the construc-
tion of the great trans-continental
lines to connect the Atlantic and Pa
cific
The prospect, not only for obtaining
the cooperation of the nations con-
cerned, but of procuring the consent
of capitalists to undertake the great
feat of connecting the two American
continents by rail, is regarded by Of
fcials in Washington to be brighter
now than ever before. They feel that
the dream of James G. Blaine of con
Meeting the two continents in this
manner may be realized by the very
generation that followed him.

Blowing Up the Locks.

Would it be easy to blow up and de
stroy lock canal by the malicious
use of dynamite or other high explo-
sive? The question has been debated
much in connection with the Panama
canal The Engineering News calls
attention to the fact that an attempt
made in 1900 to wreck the Wei
land canal in this way produced sur
prisingly small results.
After two weeks examination the
two men concerned selected lock "a,
and each lowered satchel containing
dynamite and fuse to the water be-
hind the gate at each end of the lock.
Both charges were exploded, but the
dynamite failed to carry away the
gates.
Although the explosives blew a hole
about foot in diameter, through each
gate and loosened the hinges, the
gates remained in position, holding
back the water.

HERO WAS EASILY SATISFIED
Saved Train from Wreck, and Only
Desire Was to Be Given Money
for Whisky.

A disappointing tramp hero was the
one who saved a train from certain
disaster in August, 1905, on the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railroad.
Several yards Of the track had been
swept away in a washout, and when
the tramp, who rushed along the track
and warned the driver by waving his
coat above his head, was asked by the
grateful passengers for his name and
address, in order that he might be
further rewarded, after they had
raised purse of more than $100 for
him, he replied: "My address is the
United States, and it amt never been
more definite, and l guess it never will
be SO long as whisky's sold in more
than one place. I've got enough money
now to keep me alive for six months,
at five cents a drink, and I guess
you've done your duty by me. But the
nearest saloons at Hamilton, and
that's a long way for man whose
been dry since morning. Give me a
ride to Hamilton and we'll cry quits. .
And to Hamilton he went, and when
the passengers last saw this tattered
hero he was rushing into saloon,
where he entertained crowds of loiter-
ers with the story of how he saved
the train, and then treated them to
drinks.
