SNATCHED BABY FROM DEATH
One More Locomotive Fireman Who
Proved Himself Equal to Emer-
gency When Called Upon.

Ed. Templeton, a fireman on the
local train, with the assistance of En-
gineer l.. M. Woodwork, made SEN
sational rescue of little girl last
evening, says dispatch from Hep
ner, Ore.
Just after leaving lone the engineer
saw far ahead In the middle OF the
track baby complacently watching
the approaching train, not realizing
that its life was in danger.
Woodwork applied the emergency
brakes and shouted to Templeton. 1t
was impossible, however, to bring the
train to stop before reaching the
little girl Templeton. seeing this,
climbed out on the pilot, and just as
the train swept up to the child he
reached down and snatched her from
deaths path to a place Of safety on
the pilot beside him. A few seconds
later the engineer brought the train to
a stop. The child's name was not as
certained and its mother probably
does not know how near to death 1t
was.

Punctual Trains.

The West of France State railway
has devised method of bringing
trains to their destination on time,
which must surely appeal more to a
Frenchman's sense of humor than to
his convenience. Instead Of accelerat-
Ing the speed Of trains which have
been VIGOROUSLY behind time, says
the Scientific American, the officials
of this road, who happen to be govern
ment officials, have adopted the naive
plan Of starting the trains as much
earlier as the average time by which
they have been late. The Standard of
London, commenting on the matter,
says: Whereas hitherto the stipulat.
ed times of departures and arrivals
were purely mythical, they will hence
forth be statements of fact, unless. of
course, it should again become neces-
sary to apply brake power to the
time table"

for carrying their output to one of
the big railroads.
One Of the largest assortments of
this kind of railroad stock ever put

dealer at one time consisted of en-

since the marlborough made the
change. There were $40 engines to
be got rid of and 134 cars.
1t wasn't a very hard matter to dis
pose of the $40 engines. They were
remarkably strong for their size, a
special type made for the elevated
roads, and proved to be very much in
demand as secondhand material.
These engines are found in all parts
of the world today. There are some
of them at present in India, Africa
and South America, in mining districts
and in many remote parts OF the
world.
1t is not difficult to dispose of old
rails. They are generally in demand
for sidings and new lines in new coun-
tries and form a large part of the
business of the secondhand railroad
equipment man. Taken altogether the
business of disposing of railroad
equipment furnishes quite an industry
for the secondhand man.

NEW TYPE OF STATION AGENT
Plan of According to Him
Enlarged Powers.

The St. Louis and San Francisco is
working out an interesting plan for
enlarging the authority and RESPONSE
bility of its station agents. The plan
is based on the idea that this class Of
employees can be trained to do more
useful work for the railway. while at
the same time improving their own
condition and opportunities for ad-
vancement. by making them the rep
resentatives of the company In all
matters regarding which they may
show themselves capable OF acting
for It.
At most railway stations the agent
is the only resident representative of
the company, and for that reason he
frequently becomes charged with re-
sponsibilities beyond his power to act.
II is the belief of the management of
the Frisco, says the Railway Age Ga
zette, that by making him in a larger
sense a business man, with broad au-
thority, in accordance with the prac-
tice of large business institutions in
other lines. good agent will be
found capable of handling many mat
tiers that now require the attention of
superior Office or special represen-
tative.
The first part of the plan was put
into effect last year, after the Frisco
adopted the plan of transferring to
the operating department the function
of making settlements of claims. On
August / the agents at all stations
were authorized to pay from station
funds claims for visible loss and dam
age in the case of both carload and
less than carload freight, with GER
tain exceptions, and within the limit
of $50 for any one claim. This fea-
ture Of the plan Is no longer an ex.
pertinent, but has so demonstrated its
practicability and advantages that 1t
is now regarded as a permanent ar.
rangement, and at recent conference
Of the heads of departments 1t was de-
cided to extend its scope.
