MEMS WORTH is SET FORTH
Practical Illustration Given Employees
of Railroad as to Their Value to
the Company.

In a recent address II. U. Nudge,
president of the Rock Island railroad,
undertook to estimate a mans COM
mercial value from his earning capac-
ity. He figured, for instance, that a
man earning 1888 a month, or 81 900
a year had capitalized value of ST.
900. He rated the salary as interest
at per cent.
In speaking to the employees of the
company, President Nudge said:
you can make yourself worth more,
while locomotive can not. You can
direct your own energies, while loco
motive must be directed by driver
1t rests with you to raise your own
capitalization to $4,000 to 100000 or
even to 100000. Therefore be care
full about your food, treat your body
decently, and, above all, feed your
mind. You are working for a large
corporation In the nature of things
1t can not know you very we'll person
ally, but it knows you by the work
you turn out. 1t sets a real value on
your work, higher than you think
Your value is measured by the quality
and quantity of results you produce.
Somebody knows your actual worth,
appreciates your honest endeavors
and has you in mind for better things.
1t is business proposition. Each Of
us is capitalized"

with peace and safety reigning in

LEARNED WORK BY DEGREES
Safe and Economical Management Of
Railroads Has Been a Matter Of
Slow Growth.

Railroad running had a remarkably
slow development. AS late as 1865.
on one OF the most important roads,
the plan was that a conductor should
telegraph from a station 10 the con-
ductor OF an opposing train at the next
station announcing when he would
leave and where he would meet the
other After the two had arrived at
an understanding they went ahead on
their own initiative.
ing the Civil war it did not take rail-
road men long TO discover that this
was not the best way Of managing
operation. At the outset the train
dispatcher was usually a conductor or
an engineman who knew the road and
its rules. but knew nothing OF the
Morse code. To supply this deficiency
he was supplied with an operator
The early train despatchers were
on duty whenever required, regard
less of the clock. Traffic was light.
extras were rare, and in general the
time table sufficed to direct the oper-
alton of a division. So far as possible
trains were run only in the daytime.

MIGHT BE CALLED BABY LINES
Small Railroads That Are Little
Known, but Yet Fill Distinct Field
of Usefulness.

The picturesquely titled Yreka rail-
road Of California links the town OF
that name with Montague, the dis
lance between the two points being
less than eight miles. Its rolling stock
consists Of two engines, two freight
and two passenger cars. The road
makes a profit. In 1910 1t carried
24,041 passengers, its net earnings
were $3,269 and its surplus $685..
The Otis railroad is away up In the
Catskill mountains In New York, and
Is used to carry summer visitors to
Otis Summit, which is all that it's
name implies. When vacation time is
on this six mile road and its trans
portation facilities are pretty we'll
strained. 1t connects with the Cats
kill Mountain and the Cairo railroads.
1t has one stationary engine, two pas
senger and two baggage cars. Last
year the net earnings of the little road
were $7,061.
Fishermen and sportsmen know OF
the Adirondack and st. Lawrence rail
road, running from Hermon to De
Kalb Junction, N. Y, distance of
three and half miles 1t is controlled
by the st. Lawrence Pyrites com
pany. In spite OF the fact that it's
little right-of-way is pretty well patron
lied at certain times Of the year, it
doesn't seem to be very fiourishing,
according to its published balance
sheets. Yet in 1910 it carried 18,416
passengers, keeping busy its two loco
motives and two passenger and ex-
press cars.

fire hose would soon be destroyed on
account of the hot water coming from
the injector The water tanks Of the
ordinary yard engine hold about 5000
gallons of water, and the idea is that
when the engine reaches the scene OF
a fire in the yards, the switchman Is
to jerk the hose from the reel and at
tach it to the valve connection in the
feed-water pipe and pull the hose to
the fire. Meanwhile the engineer is
to start his injector while the fireman

opens the connection to the fire hose.

1t is to the American engineer and
contractor that the world is indebted
for its first lessons in rapid construc-
ton of railroads and particularly in
rapid track laying.
The lesson as taught on our western
prairies has led to systematic methods
of railroad construction, particularly
with view to time and labor saving,
in other countries where extensive

Preventing Accidents.

AS a means of cutting down the
number of accidents to employees the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad
has organized what Is called the safety
committee system. 1t consists of 500
officers and men in the employ Of the
organization at different points who
are directed to make reports of all
sources of danger that they may en-.
counter in the course of their business.
For instance, the members of the
committee call official attention to a
protruding arm or deposits of lumber
at stations, unprotected openings and
make suggestions of any character
which may serve the desired object.
The work of this committee has
shown a very practical result in that
the number of persons injured about
the yards and shops of the company
has shown a reduction Of II killed and
2,l44 injured.

ARIZONA SMITH IN CONGRESS

A shout OF Joy went up all over

HEAD OF IMPORTANT DIVISION
