Union Pacific Planning to Csc
Wireless Telegraph System.
Will Solve Problems of Floods,
Winds and Billiards.
FIRST IN AMERICA.
Experiments at LeaVenworth
Look Good to Officials.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

Close upon the announcement that
the Santa Fe will install a telephone
dispatching service on its western lines
comes the discussion of the probability
of using wireless for dispatching. While
no official announcement has yet been
made by officials of the Union Pacific
line, a rurnor has reached Topeka that
it is the belle, that wireless telegraphy
will solve the problem of the storm
swept reaches of portions of the west
ern country for the Union Pacific.
This move by the Union Pacific viii
constitute the first adaptation OF the
wireless to the purposes of railroad
operation in the United States. The
number of stations has not been deter
mined. They are to be placed accord
ing to the present plans, at distance
of about 100 miles apart.
The practicability of the project now
determined upon has been demon
strated to satisfaction of the rail-
road engineers by the operation of the
Telefunken plants by the army signal
corps at Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley.
The necessity for the wireless was
pointedly brought to the notice of the
Union Pacific in the recent storms
which cut off all communication to the
westward for two days. during which
time the operation of trains was rem
dered slow and dangerous. Snow, sleet
and wind cannot mar the efficiency or
the ether wave on which the wireless
message travels

FIGHTING FOR FRUIT TRAFFIC.
Southern Pacific Sends Freight Trains
on Passenger Time.

Ogden, Utan. April 29.-Arrange-
ments are being made by the officials
of the Southern Pacific for extra quick
service in the handling of the heavy
fruit trains which will be sent east this
summer and owing to the close compe-
tition with other railroad companies
and perishable quality of the ship
ments, it will be necessary to run the
fruit trains on passenger train schedule
for several months.
SUPERINTENDENT E C. Manson is back
in ogden after a trip over the Salt
Lake division, where the Lucin cutor
and other important parts on the di-
vision were subjected to a thorough
inspection. He said today that all
fruit trains will be run between the
Pacific coast and Omaha at the rate
of IS miles an hour when the ship
ming season opens, and that it will be
necessary to employ an additional
force of freight crews to care for this
extra business.

BIG ROCK ISLAND BUSINESS.
officials Report Best Stock and Fruit
Traffic in History.

The Rock Island officials in Topeka
report the heaviest stock and fruit
traffic on its lines in the history of the
southwestern district In truth the
traffic on the road has been series of
record breakers ever since last Novem-
Der when business picked up in great
style.
There are an average of 200 cars of
stock a day coming through from Dali
hart. Texas. Then there are a great
many cars from New Mexico and
Arizona. The fruit is coming almost
as fast. About $50 cars of fruit come
through Topeka every day from Cali
fornia.
The heaviest traffic has been on the
road since las- month and the officials
expect business to keep up this way
until the middle of May. Train crews
at the division points all along the line
are drawing the biggest pay since their
work with the roaG. The pay roll at
Harrington, a big division point on the
road, was thu largest last month than
it has ever neen. 1t was a common
thing for brakemen to draw 800 and
over for the month of March and
April.

The first talk was given by Prof.
Ira Woods Howerth, of Chicago Uni
versity, on The Artist Teacher"
Booker T. Washington has said: "An
education is a conquest not be-
quest. There are several view points
of education. l shall consider it
from the view point of Education
as an art. 1t is an art, those who
practice education are artists. We
are all artists to some degree.
shall speak of the artist who is par
ticularly skillful. An ideal is of
greater value than most people are
willing to admit. The business man
who is successful has definite ideal
of his business and adapts his efforts
to this ideal. The greatest demand
of these modern times is a definite
ideal of our work to encourage our
efforts and stimulate our hopes. 1t
is possible for the artist teacher to
leave a monument more wonderful
than the sculptor; he can help build
beautiful characters. Here are a few
things to acquire which will bring
you success: A strong physical abil-
ity, which is the basis of success. An
already accumulated amount Of
knowledge, is a necessity The ap-
plication of this knowledge or skill
is the next element of success, and
the last without which no artist is
highly successful, a delight in his
art. Have a deep abiding love and
interest in your work. If you have
not this love or interest cultivate 1t.
If you don't like your work perform
it cOnscientiously and your dislike
will disappear. Love comes from
service. If you don't like children
serve them faithfully and you will
develop a sincere interest in them
and love for them.
DR.. c. T. Farlane, Columbia Uni
versity, was the second speaker; his
subject, Unity of Geography" One
of the things that the artist teacher
of Geography wants to know is Geo.
