ly with the rank Of brigadier general.
He was the last Civil war veteran to
be removed from the active list. on
which he had the rank OF colonel. He
went to the front at the age Of ten
years.
After he had been in the thick of
the battle at Chickamauga he was dis.
covered by Confederate colonel.
The boy cut strange figure amid
the bloody scenes OF that day He
was scarcely twelve years old. He
had his drum, and also the sawed.off
musket that the soldiers had given
him. He presented such a ludicrous
appearance that the Confederate
laughed.
The boy did not see the joke. He
whipped up his musket, fred three
shots at the colonel, and. under cover
Of darkness, made his way back to his
regiment.
From that day his fame spread.

OF the city and devoting trackage In
the more thickly populated districts to
passenger purposes.

first big track elevation project In
Chicago.
If the railroads had faced the ne.
cessity for raising at once thu" amount
OF money they have actually spent In

simply have thrown up their hands In
despair" he said Now they are 60
ing ahead with elevation work because
they are convinced that It pays.
The same Is true of electrification
, II one railroad starts to operate Its
suburban service electrically it will
give that power a chance to demon
strate itself. An electrical system
could be installed gradually just al
railroad after railroad has elevated
its tracks.
The railroads are moving more
and more OF their freight yards L
points where land is not so valuable
as in the downtown section OF Chicago
and in doing so are paving the wa.
for a more rapid electrification of thu
passenger service.
Much information concerning tn
railroads OF the city and their tract

been placed at the disposal of ou
