Railroads Got Different Sort of Publicity
In Early Days of Mich; People Jumped
In and Helped Line Win SIS, 10000 Race

began to be built, Grand Rapids,
which had been located on one of the
best waterpower sites in the state,
set out to get land transportation.
At that time Grand river teemed with
steamboats,, but steamboats, were an
uncertain form of transportation,
and, besides they were unable TO
furnish sufficient capacity for NOV
ing the necessary freight to and
from what later was to become TIE
Furniture City.
In 1858 the old Oakland & Ottawa
road, now part of the Grand Trunk,
completed its line to Grand Rapids
and in about that time the Grand
Rapids q Indiana, now part of the
Pennsylvania Lines, wal operating
trains from Grand Rapids to Cedar
Springs.
But still Grand Rapids needed
more railroads, and it is in con-
nection with this need and its full
fillment that the story of an unique
railroad race-a contest for $4,000
--and friendly publicity, is told
Yarns have been spun of races
between crack passenger trains for
the prive of mail carrying privileges
Of races between the iron horse and
Death, in which, sometimes one,
sometimes the other. was winner;
but the big race-the money contest
was race against time. And the
railroad won, but not without the
help Of a good share of the popula-
ton Of the Furniture City.
Ii wasn't really a furniture city
at that time, being more of a saw
mill city, for Grand Rapids was a
real city, having received its char
ter in the early fifties, and the time
e the race was 1869.
Ransom Gardner. well known rail-
road builder of those days. started
construction of a line north from
Kalamazoo in 1868. calling his line
the Kalamazoo A Logan & Grand
Rapids railroad AMI so anxious
were the people along the proposed
route for steam transportation, that
they v-ere theoretically willing to
take the shirts off their backs and
give them to Gardner for the priv
ilege of hearing the whistle Of the
oil woodburners in their territory
Grand Rapids didn't figure on
giving the shirt off its back but it
was so anxious for another line that
the citizens agreed toTaise $4,000
and Give it to Gardner providing the
first train were run into the city by
March /. 1869.
AS the line progressed enthusiasm
grew and an extra purse of $4,000
YVES raised, making $4,000 in all.
With this prize in view, the con-
tractors. Goss, Warner & Co., were
spurred to greater activity, and as
the rails neared Grand Rapids, Cla7
fin McNair & CO., architects, pre-
pared plans for a big swing bridge
arross Grand river Just below the
city.
Under the busy hands of more
than 200 workmen the bridge was
completed and swung for the first
time on Feb. %, 1869, the day be-

Quite in contrast to the undesira-
BILE publicity being given ,the rail-
roads in Michigan at the present
time through attacks on the federal
railway transportation act and by
shippers who object, seemingly not
without reason, to the zoning sys-
tenn and high rates, was the publici-
ty given the lines of early Michigan.
But at that time conditions were
different. The motor truck and the
concrete road were undreamed oI,
and the rapid transit of the early
days of the state-which would be
considered a snail's pace-was Gag
erly sought.
Before the coming of the rail-
roads, Michigan was in pretty hard
shape so far as transportation was
concerned. OF course there were
the waterways, but even with the
coming of steam transportation on
the lakes travel was no rapid affair,
the usual time from Detroit to Buff
falo being two days and half in
1920, and the traveller who was in a
hurry might go from Detroit to
Boston in Is days. In the interior
of Michigan the streams were used,
goods being landed at river mouths
and taken to their destination Via
canoes, pole boats or small steamers
The first inland road, according to
records, was that from Detroit to a
point near the head of Saginaw bay.
Later came the Chicago road follow
ing an old indian trail from Detroit
to Ypsilanti, bending due west thru
Lenawee, and passing southwest
thru Hillsdale and Branch into St.
Joseph county, going thru the south
ern part of St. Joseph and Cass and
leaving thru the southwestern cor
Ter of Berrien
The roads were improved by stage
companies, but not to any great ex-
tent, and it was related of the Chi
cago road that passengers sometimes
had to founder thru mud for great
distances, after being forced to
aight from the coaches A number
of other roads were authorized by
the territorial government as a
matter Of military necessity.
But in those days mud was king,
and the roads wouldn't do, so agita-
ton for railroads began growing, a
number being chartered by the gov
eminent, although in the whole coun-
try there were but few miles Of
rail lines.
The first charter was to the De-
troit & Pontiac railway company
in 1880, but the first real railroad
was the Erie q Kalamazoo, over
which cars were drawn by horse
power in 1886. In 1887 the first
steam locomotive was operated over
this road. Passenger trains consis-
ted of an engine and one coach
carrying about 20 persons. Freight
trains were an engine and six cars
holding two tons each.
But the Erie & Kalamazoo, now a
part of the New York Central lines,
was a success, and many other rail-
roads followed. And when railroads

up crowds of volunteer workmen and

ovation awaited the train crew.

should.
"You can swab out your lungs as

"Air is a great stimulant, and some
of these lung bathers overstimulate
themselves, so that they get nervous,
can't sleep at night and so on. They
do this by such tricks as breathing
the pure air in through one nostril
only. taking too many lung baths and
that sort of thing. Such over-indul-
gence is perhaps p%ardonable if you
have a piece of hard mental work to

SAY NEW RELIGION SPREADS
Chinese Reported to Take to Mixturd
of Christianity, Taoism, Con-
fucianism, and Buddhism.

1t is reported that a new religion
termed the "Tai-i-chiao' has been es-
tablished among the Chinese people
of the upper and middle classes and is
rapidly gaining ground. Teachers of
the new creed state that it is a re-
ligion comprised of Buddhism. Con
fUcianism, Taoism and Roman Cathol-
icism and other Christian beliefs.
The god, which is the object of wor-
ship, is Tai-i-jen, a figure Of imagi-
nation. st. Mary and the monk, San
Tsang, who is said to have brought
Buddhist scriptures to China from In
dia in the Tang dynasty, are also wor-
SHIPPED. The scriptures, which take
the place of the Bible in Christianity,
are the Book of Lao-tze.
This new religion is o prevalent
throughout all provinces in China. 1t
was %prOpagated in Shantung by, it is
said, a former premier, Chen Neng-
hsun, and he now has the following of
many high and influential people. The
believers hold three regular meetings
a week, and go through ceremonies
which require more than four hours
for completion. In Picking, the relig-
ion is said to be gaining ground among
the officials connected with the gov
eminent. Apart from new religions,
reports have been coming from differ
ent places for some time of a revival
of Buddhism, and not a little money

AudaoIous Esst Indlan Randit.


The death of a robber king,
Zarshah Shinwari, in a private quar-
rel in his native village, has been re-
ported from Simla. India. His most
famous exploit was the robbery of
the Calcutta mail, near Peshawar. in
December, 1913, when, with "a gang
of thirty men, he killed the guard,
driver, and fireman, and ransacked
the mail-van, but failed to discover
the cash chest. Not daring to return
at once to the frontier, he hid in the
hills near Attock. A Gordon of troops,
with police levies of every description.
was drawn around him, but he evaded
them, and with consummate impudence
kidnapped the Hindu station master of
Khairbad only two days after the
robbery of the mail. He retired to
the Attock hills with his captive
whom he then, as a browning piece Of
audacity, set on a donkey and marched
at the dagger's point along the Grand
Trunk road to Peshawar, across the
golf links, under the noses of 5000
and across the border into tbs
Afridi hills.
