General superintendent Park Appears
In Merger Hearing.

In Merger Hearing.
New York. Feb 24.-Wnliam l.. Park.
general Superintendent of the Union
Pacific railway, admitted on the witness
stand today that he could not explain
why the schedule of the overland Linn
tied between Omaha and Ogden had
been shortened to 80 hours and 10 min
utes last Sunday. as against SO hours,
which had been maintained since 1907.
Mr.. Park was testifying at continu-
alton OF the governments suit to dis
solve the Union Pnciflc-:southcrn Pacl~
fic merger. The governments attor-
news have sought 10 show that slower
time has resulted from the merger In
that competition was destroyed and the
necessity for fast competitive schedules
OBJ, lated Witnesses for the road. on
the other hand, have asserted that
physical conditions were responsible Tor
the reduction OF the speed.
Vice President Kruuschnitt was
questioned along this lblc last week,
and federal lawyers took Mr.. Park over
the Same ground today. II was then
that he admitted that the recent change
In the Overland Limited schedule had
been made, as well as the schedule of
fast Union Pacific mall train.
Between 1900 and 1907. the Overland s
time from Omaha to Ogden was be-
tween go and Sl hours. This jumped to
81 hours in 1907 and to this 30 minutes
was added last year.
Can you eXphin why the time OF
your crack train increased when your
line had been shortened up 80 miles and
curvatures and grades improyed?'
asked the government counsel
Ever since 1900 we have had slow
orders, varying from one to six hours,
largely on account of the building OF
new bridges. ballastlng work. etc, which
made It absolutely necessary to lose
time. The shortening of the line was
only 40 miles OH the Union proper,
said MIR. Park.
Mr.. Park sketched the history of the |
famous Nellie Bly," special freight |
which was put on by the Union Pncific |
in its war with the Oregon Short Line,
making the run on passenger train |

Ogden In 3 hours He said he rode
several times on the train and consid-
cred its speed unsafe The train was
withdrawn.
Increasing traffic on the Union Pacific
gradually demoralized train schedules,
Mr.. Park testified. the climax being
reached during the fall and winter fol-
lowing the San Francisco fire. The con-
gestion forced a general slowing up of

The Lesser Evil.

A duck hunter who frequently visits
the Maine shores tells a story typical
or the hardy men who live there. On
one OF the islands near where he went
lived a man who acted as postman for
the few scattering houses on the island
and who would row to the mainland
every day and bring back the mail, Tor
which he received SO cents.
One morning during a terrific storm
the hunter saw the postman pull over.
Several times during the trip the boat
was nearly swamped and the man in
danger OF his life.
why in the world did you make
that trip?" asked the hunter. Surely
not for the 80 cents"
"Well. you see." replied the postman,

Galloway's father and mother came
from the Land o. Cakes in 90. They
had for capital two pairs OF hands and
the clear brains OF free kirk training
At first they worked for James Viii
son, now secretary OF agriculture. on
his Iowa farm. Afterward they bought
a farm for SO per acre. now worth
$50 per acre.
Young Bill Galloway worked on bis

he was nineteen. His mechanical gen.
ius is shown in the building OF a prac-

At nineteen he determined to get q
college education.
Thrifty?
Young Galloway literally went to col.
kege on a hog train.
He took charge of a car or hogs fol-
neigbbor and thus got free passage
to the Mississippi river. Ii was only

He counted every cent Of his small
hoard aud spent his first day in look
ing for room he could pay for by
tending the furnace and running er-
rands.
In a few days the canny youngster
rented half the room to a student for
50 80 per week cash,
He was thus provided with room and
board, and that is a sample of the
way Galloway worked his way. going

Changing Her Mind.


by an upwritten law 1t is held to be
the privilege OF woman to change her
mind. license OF which she rarely
falls to avail herself. The German
proverb has it that women are varia-
Die as April weather" According to
an old English adage, "a woman's
mind the winter winds change oft"
In Spain 1t is much the same: "Wo-
men, wind and fortune soon change.
and she can laugh and cry both in a
wind" The old Latin poet Catullus
was OF opinion that what woman
says to her ardent lover ought to be
written on the winds or on running
water" Even the gallant Sir Philip
Sidney wrote:
He water plows and soweth in the sand
And hopes the Pickering wind with net to
hold %
