Oldest Main Line Santa Fe En-
gineer Resigns.
William Parr Started Out of
Topeka in September, 1875.

Killed Behind Him.
other Items of General Inter.
est in Traffic World.

Another veteran Topeka-made Santa
Fe engineer has been added to the
pension rolls. This time it is William
Parr, who is the oldest engineer IN
point of service on the main line or
the Santa Fe and is the second Santa
Fe engineer to be retired on a pension.
Mr.. Parr is 20 years of age and has
been in the railroad business since 1853
He was born in New Jersey, Decem-
Der Is, 1912, and enlisted in the civil
war serving for year, after when
he was honorably discharged and en-
gagged in railroad work on the Erie
road in 1863.
In 1865 he worked with the C. H. &
D. road and in 1869 was engaged as a
locomotive engineer on government
roads. He went to work for the Santa
Fe as an engineer out of Topeka Sep
TENDER 1, 1875, and since that time he
has never been reprimanded. When
the Santa Fe finished the road into
Pueblo in 1876, Engineer Parr was Sc
lected to pilot the first excursion train
into Pueblo from Granada. The ad-
vent of the Santa Fe marked the be-
ginning of prosperity for Pueblo and
Engineer Parr was quick to see the
possibilities of progress for the new
city on the Arkansas. He acquired
realty holdings there which have since
greatly increased in value and today
his realty holdings in Pueblo and Den
yer bring him a handsome income
Engineer Parr worked out of Pueblo
until the Santa F'e built into Denver
and he pulled the first passenger train
over the Santa Fe into Denver and has
had run between Denver and La
Junta since the Denver branch was
completed. For Sc years and 10 months
he has held a regular run on the
Santa Fe and was eligible to retire
ment under the pension system several
years ago. He preferred to continue
in active service and only recently de-
cided to make application for a pen
sion.
During his career as an engineer he
mas never been in an accident where
a human life was lost and no passen-
ger has ever been killed on one OF his
trains.

DoN'Ts FOR CoNDUCroRs.
Don't Pass Up Loads at Small Stations,
Says Rock Island

Don't try to unload merchandise
onto platform from two or three ped
dler cars at the same time when there
is only one man to check it,
Don't carry small shipments by
small stations with the intention of re-
turning them the following day; it
may be important to the consignee and
might be overlooked the following day.
Don't run by pickup loads at the
small stations because the agent
doesn't raise a howl about it; he
knows he is in the minority
Don't tell the agent that he is having
unnecessary work done when he gives
you a switch list; remember he is the
general manager at his station and is
held responsible for securing business
and taking care of patrons.
Don't fail to see that merchandise
is properly broken down in peddIer
cars where cars break bulk, and at
each subsequent unloading point;
claims and losses to the company re-
suit from neglect of this.
Remember cooperation means har-
mony; courtesy means increased BUSH
ness; additional business means great
er revenues. Let's all pull together

Fine Alfalfa in osborne County.

Osborne, Kan, July II. E. Bourne
of Liberty township in Osborne coun-

spring and summer he has also fed
400 head of hogs off the same fields of
alfalfa by pasturing it. Mr.. Bourne
figures that he will easily get 1000
tons of alfalfa off the above land for
the season. This will bring him a
revenue of around $4,000 to $4,000.

because of the many ceremonies he was
called upon to perform in cities All
over Kansas. And to perpetuate the
title the children of the preacher are
assisting in keeping up his record OIL
marriages. With the marriage of one
of his sons, Willis Garth Milton, TO
Miss Nell NJ. Hadley at the home OF
the bride here, the Rev. Mr.. Milton mas
performed the third marriage in winch
one of his children participated anu
he has four more left.
The wedding of Mr.. Milton and Miss
Hadley was a home affair, attended
only by relatives. Preceding the cere-
mony Mrs. Richard r. Milton sang

party was taking its place beneath a
canopy of brides roses. Following lie
ceremony a five course luncheon was
served.

steadying anchor in ones life and L be-
Iieve in early marriages.
How He ''Beat His Wife,"
The title of Marrying Preacher of
Kansas" was given Mr.. Milton follow
ing day of marriages which caused
him to receive much "jollying" from
other preachers.
That day Mr.. Milton performed five
ceremonies and his fees netted him
about $50. But the preacher gives all
of his marriage fees to his wife as
.spin money" This day he went home
and jokingly asked Mrs. Milton how
much she would take for her wedding
fees.
"Fifteen dollars" Mrs. Milton said
not knowing the number of weddings
her husband had solemnized.
The preacher gave her the SIS and
did not give her the rest for several
days. Mrs. Milton told the joke and
! it got into the newspapers
preacher Beats His Wife" was the
caption in the first paper in which the
story appeared Other newspapers
copied the story and used the same
head" 1t brought the preacher much
Joking, but incidentally increased the
number of marriages and gave him the
title.
The Rev. Mr.. Milton is accompanied
by his wife and one of his sons, John
William Milton. They will visit in
Denver several days.

The appetite faded by heat may be
