HARTMAN LIVES PROSPEROUS
Train Service is Improved and Equip
ment Added.


Chicago, April 20.-"There never
was q time when the Hartman lines
were in better condition physically or
when they had better prospects," said
]. C. Stubs. vice president and traffic
director Of the Hartman system to-
day. "They are ordering new equip
ment, increasing the train service and
facilities everywhere and give promise
Of continuing the improvements.
Mr.. Stubs has just returned to Chi
cago from a five weeks inspection tour
over the entire system in the United
States and in Mexico.
Double Cd the Union Pa
cific Is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible, and as soon as the work can be
accomplished the entire line from
Omaha to Ogden will have two tracks.
Roundly speaking, 800 miles of the
l 900 have been finished, and the en-
tire line from Omaha to San Francisco
is now protected by block signals. 1t
is probable that the San Pedro line will
be open for traffic much earlier than
June ]"

Coast DWeNefs Rescue Much Of

Thousands of Tons of Valuable Goods
Jettisoned In Effort to Save
Ship from Going to Pieces

Inhabitants Of the Rocky ScilIy is

member this as the greatest day in
their history.
| The Atlantic transport liner Mime
haha, wrecked Monday, disgorged part
Of her II, 900 tons Of valuable cargo,
casting it upon the waters all day long,
to be gathered up by those who cared
to take the trouble.
Farming and fishing were aban-
doned, and even school was dismissed,
while most Of the population Of the
nearby islands, men, women and chill
dren, devoted themselves to obtaining
treasures from the waves.
The salvagers decided to try to res
cue the Minnehaha by cutting her in
half, in the same way the Chicago
White Star steamship Suevic, which
went ashore near the Lizard in March,
1907. was saved.
Every effort to tighten the ship is
now imperative. Today the waves
beat up too high and strong for the
tugs to go alongside. Consequently
goods were thrown overheard from the
hold as fast as the stevedores
could handle them.
Huge cases, containing automobiles |
and pianos, followed one another over
The side, striking the water with
great splash. Sewing machines and
clocks went with them, while furniture
icated everywhere.
Many bales Of cigarettes covered
he face Of the water, and tons of cheap
American novels fiosted to the nearby
hore of Bryhe, where they were piled
ike seaweed.
Tioings of the jettisoning of wealth
pread early and dotilla of fishing
raft and luggers scurried to the scene.
AS fast as the cargo hit the water.
nterprising boatmen pulled up the
mailer cases, while they took the ,
irger ones in tow.
The machinery was taken from the ,
'reck and stored.
Two hundred and twenty-four head
cattle swan ashore, while ten were ,
rowned. ,
The seamen here think it will be i'm !
osslble to save the Minnehaha. and ,
ok for the first strong wind to break :
er to pieces.
