EXPERT Of N. P.
INVESTIGATES
LOCAL SHOPS
President Bush Sends Mechanical Su-
perintendent Here to Examine
and Report on Improvements
in the Local Yards.

Making an investigation of every
thing pertaining to the round house,
shops, trackage, yard facilities and
station equipment at Grand Junction
for President h. F. Bush, j. X. Low
ell, mechanical enpert for the Mis-
souri, Pacific, spent this morning in
Grand Junction. and while here made
detailed examination of all the rail
road property in this vicinity.
Mr.. Lowell would make no state
ment of what significance his exam
ination hight have so far as the flu
ture of the local shops are concerned: /:
but it is known that he is considered
the most efficient mechanical man in
the country by President Bush, and
that his Investigation was being made
for Mr.. Bush personally. More than
that, 1t is a certainty that whatever
plans he may have for improvements
will be promptly acted upon by the
president.
Local railroad men not connected
officially with the road are of the
opinion that much more improve
ments are to be made in this city
Gradually the facilities of the local
shops have been increased until little
repair work is so elaborate as to re-
quire shipment to the general shops
at Burnham. Every character of re-
pair work on both engines and cars
can now be handled in this city and
the recent addition of the new Ke-
vance boilers makes this one of the
most efficient shops on the road
1t is the belief of many local shop
men that general Improvements are
