Personal Esteem Here.

Mr. Ackert is well known in the Biz
mingham district and is personally es-
teemed here. His ability as railroad
man has long been recognized. He was
a great believer in the future of Biz
mingham and it is said that largely
through his insistence the beautiful and
spacious Terminal station was built
From the time he became connected with
the Southern railway Mr.. Ackert had
been a strong advocate of replacing the
small and Anticipated passenger stations
in the larger class of cities on the South
ern by modern buildings commensurate
with the needs of such cities A few
years ago he had under his supervision
at one time the construction of IL hand
some terminal stations, some Of them ex-
tensive
Like most operating officials Mr..
Ackert is self-made man. He rose
steadily from subordinate positions until
he became superintendent of the Elgin,
Joliet and Eastern. From that road he
came to the Mobile ana Ohio as general
superintendent and from the Mobile and
Ohio has appointed general manager of

ert, is well known and popular here. He

SNOW CAUSES DISASTER.
Floods From Mountains Almost Ruin
Little Town.

Salt Lake City, January 6.-The lit
tie town Of Caliente, New, flood
swept by torrents from melting snow
in the canons, is today scene of in
describable desolatiOn. Rising above
all marks previously touched in food
stages, the muddy current leveled
whole hillsides where the railroad ran
and swept over the town like an ava
lanche. The wrecks of the dwellings
fioated off like so many Households.
At the worst stage of the disaster
people deserted their homes and fed
to the hills. Here they are passing
the days and nights linsheltered and
exposed to temperatures many de-
gress below zero. So far as known,
however. but one person has persisted.
Every house in the town that remain
standing has been rendered unfit for
occupancy. The interiors are vertia-
ble mud puddles. At the hot springs
resort water poured over the tran
somes OF the bath room doors.

PLAN TO PENSION
AGED EMPLOYEES

Washington, January 6.--Efforts are
to be made by Congress to pass a law
providing compulsory retirement and
permitting a pension for superanuaied
government employees. Secretary Mac
Veagh has instructed Herbert D..
Brown of his department to draw up a
plan. The secretary is understood to
have the support of President Taft.
Mr.. Browns tentative plan, it is said,
contemplates a pension fund that will
be provided entirely by the working
clerks. There is provision also for tie
retirement of the ordinary clerical force
of the classified service at ,hc ago Of
20, the mail carriers at So ana the rail-
way mail clerks at So. Tie difference
in the ages for retirement is predicated
on the more arduous and trying work
of the two last named classes.
Senator Cummins has offered a reso-
luton calling upon the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor for information
relating to the meth DDS employed by
foreign governments.
