Medbury
Says
BY John p. Medbury.


BY John p. Medbury.
~ ONE company In Texas has
- asked for permission to
build a railroad eighteen
inches long. II their line 10 20.
ing to be a foot and a half IN
length. how large will the sta.
ton be?
TT WOULD be a good idea for
all the railroads TO build
smaller tracks and then their
trains could come In on time once
in a while.
THIS Texas railroad can save
a lot OF money because they
wont have to buy any cars.
Their tracks won't be long enough
to hold any.
RUT their road win be q fine
one to take when you don't
want to go anywhere in particu
lar.
VOU can't be late because you
won't be able to start.
THEY haven't named their road
yet, but their tracks are 30
short that they will probably
call It the start and Stop" rail.
road.
NOBODY seems to. know their
idea In building such a small
railroad. but the officials probably
want to do away with a lot of
tiresome days and nights on
trains.
IT WILL be great JOB for
the engineer. because he can
build his house right beside the
track and then start and stop the
train by sticking his hand out Of
his bed room window.
THE porter on the Pullman car
can also make the trip without
having to leave home.
THIS railroad will only need one
= station. and they can paint the
time table on the side Of the car.
IF YOU set down to the station
and miss the train you'll only
have to run a couple of feet and
beat It to the end Of the line.
THE track Is so small that the
only thing bothering the Off
cials is how to turn the train
around.
THEY can't have. two engines
because as 1t is now they
haven't even got room for one.
THEY'D have to build It three
feet longer II they wanted to
accommodate a hand car.
THEY don't intend to have any
Pullmans on their line. II
their passengers want to travel
at night they'll have to learn how
to walk in their sleep.
THE passenger could go to sleep
at the start but the road is
so small the company would have
to have somebody on hand to
wake him up at his destination.
As SOON as the company gets
permission to build this eigh.
teen.inch railroad. they'll have to
figure out where to put their
| junction points.
THERE'S no doubt but what
this will be the safest railroad
in the world. You can't get run
over because their trains can't
start and they couldn't start II
they wanted, to because there
won't be any trains.

Business at Turning

Business has reached a turning point

Association at Huntington, L. |.
But the settlement of the strikes :"
Mr.. Sisson said, (Which have for MANY

which may be mentioned bumper crops
