Enxincer Mackic Writes Of 0lasg0w
and Aberdeen. His Birthplace
Railroads Huec Joke
I arrived In Glasgow Monday.
April 27th. and found very busy
city. Although It Is . very dinEy
looking place. there is still good
deal Of American push In II. also
saw . little Of the railroad side. and
80 far think that railroading In
Scotland is huge joke. The Santa
Fe has single coal cars that would
take on the load Of eight cars In use
here and even then would not have
a full load. There are some nice
looking passenger cars. with side
doors. and some OF the engines look
serviceable. but none OF them are
large. The passenger service Is fast,
but II the same plan of doing busi-
ness was In vogue In the United
States half the public would travel
for nothing. or would willingly beat
the railroad company. Many Of the
people look upon the railroads as
public property. and help themselves
to all the privileges they can get.
went through the Botanic Gar
dens and saw many rare plants. One
side OF large room was full OF
beautiful orchids. and there were
many rare plants from Africa and
India. There were many beautiful
flowers outdoors and In full bloom.
Glasgow has some fine parks which
are well kept. and also 4 public mar
ket. Meats. vegetables, fruits and
flowers are sold at this market. In
original packages. Mt auction, but
only To the trade. There are other
places where the same products are
sold To the general public. on the
same plan. but on = smaller scale.
I have visited many different stores
and find that eatables are much
cheaper than In the United States.
Mems clothing 10 sold for about one
half Of what Il costs In New York
City. Cotton seodss hevsver. ese

books. You are not allowed to take
some Of these books out Of the rooms
they are 10. and they are never a.
lowed outside Of the building under
any considerations. Some Of the books
are securely locked up and you have
= hard time In finding an opportuni.
" To look at them at all. ] think Il
II mostly red tape. but the rules have
TO BE- lived up 70.
have wandered around quite .
good deal In Glasgow and have even
seen some Of the underworld. I must
say that ! vas rather surprised at
the conditions existing In Bonnie
Scotland. or rather in Olaagow-uu.
