UNION PACIFIC
MEN ASKED @
COOPERATION

II the employees OF the Union Pa
cific do not want lay-offs. they must
get out and hustle for business for
the Union Pacific railroad. This was
the substance OF q brief address by
A. w. Woodruff. general superin-
tendent Of the railroad here. before
more than 500 men employed BY the
road. at a gathering In the auditor
ium OF the Eks' home late Saturday
afternoon.
The Union Pacific railroad Is pay-
ing IS per cent OF the a that
come into Cheyenne. Woodruff told
his listeners. and is getting only
about As per cent OF the freight bust
ness. This condition is largely re-
sponsible for the lay-offs OF en-
ployes at intervals. and can be rem
edied only by the employees becom-
ing business getters for the Union
Pacific, according TO Woodruff.
Mr.. Woodruff urged that the I'm
ion Pacific men see the local dealers
from which they buy and tell these
merchants that II they want tho bust
ness OF Union Pacific employees. they
must expect TO give their freight
business TO the Union Pacific rail-
road.
The general superintendent re-
viewed in figures the relative post
tons OF the railroads here. bringing
out the proportions OF business that
40 10 each. and the relative amounts
contributed by each toward the sup
port OF the city. emphasizing the
point that the business should be d.
yidod by tho same proportions as di-
vldes the money spent here by the
roads,
In closing. MIR. Woodruff thanked
the non for coming to hear the prob
lens OF their employer discussed and
declared that Il was strictly up to
them II they wished TO reduce the
lay-offa TO n minimum.

Is anybody happier because you
passed his way?
Does anyone remember that
you spoke to him today?
This day is almost over and its
toiling time is through.
Is there anyone now to utter a
kindly word to you?
Did you give a cheerful greet
ing to the friend who
came along?
Or a churlish sort of ''howdv"
and then vanish in the
throng?
Were you selfish, pure and sim
pie as you rushed along
the way
Or Is someone mighty grateful
for a deed you did to-
day.
a you say tonight at parting,
with the day that's slim
ping fast,
That You helped a single broth
er OF the many that you
passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over
what you did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were
fading now with courage
look ahead?
Did you waste the day or loose
it; was 1t well or poorly
spent?
Did you leave a trail of kind
ness or a scar of dis
content?
AS you close your eyes in slum-
Der do you think that
God would say
You have earned one more to-
morrow by the work you

better appearance as well as better

Graham Brothers advance has
been one of the nos spectacular in
the truck business" said Mr.. Car
hart. Three years ago they were
in twentieth position. Today they
are in sixth. This achievement
speaks ~eioquently for the truck
more eloquently than anything we
ourselves might say for it.
1t Is plain to anyone who sees
this ley one-ton truck that their
continued advance is inevitable. To
be able to build such a substantial
and attractive truck at such a low
price means that Graham Brothers
have definitely taken their position
among the first few in the industry.
With a limited production this truck
at this price would be impossible"

edy for this disastrous evil has been
or will be contaminated, but such
remedial measures, to be effective,
must have the support of all ship
pers in all territories.
The livestock industry is used here
as an illustration. 1t should be I'M
ierstood that equal effort will apply
to other lines of industry.
The writer has studied carefully
the proceedings of previous meetings
of these boards, held in various
cities of the country, and is convinced
that the carriers are absolutely sim
cere in their purposes and efforts to
aid the agricultural and industrial
interests in finding a solution of their
problems; but he is also convinced
that they cannot do this alone.
Those interests SO materially con
cerned must meet with the carriers
representatives and sit at round
table discussions and, in their own
language, frankly set up their prob
lens as they see them. Meetings
for this purpose levy no fees, they
cost the shippers nothing. Those
men who have made possible the
working OF these boards have given
their time freely and willingly.

Of at least $500 feet.
This test we'll has been located
approximately 2A miles north of
the test well now being drilled by
Hatfield No. 2 Oil Co.
Mr.. Harris states that a new
Standard rig has been purchased
and that he expects to have same
erected and the well spudded in by
the middle of this month. 1t is
planned to drill right through the
winter If the weather will permit.
The sinking of this test well will
aid materially in thoroughly test

two good gas wells in the south end
Of the structure and Hatfield No. 2
Oil company is now drilling a well
near the lake. Next spring Hatfield

IL was Caleb Hopkins. A moment he
stood listening at the door; glanced
around again In every direction, and
slipped over the side OF the houseboat
into the skin.
As he rowed up around the head Of
the Island and across the north chan
mel to shore, he passed within less than
fifty yards OF where the woodsman lay
concealed. his eyes hard and danger

reslstible inclination TO stray toward
the butt OF the revolver at his hip.
Drawing the skin well In among the
fringe Of scrub willows Hopkins
glanced back In the direction OF the
houseboat. snarled out an impatient
exclamation and set on across the bot
toms The woodsman rose and softly
followed; Swallowed him through the
tangle OF bushes and vines and fallen
logs out to the River road; watched
him cross. pick his way up the blum
and slip away among the trees OF the
upland.
The unguarded safe, the bundles of
money under the floor of the cabin at
the homestead. crossed the woodsman's
mind. But there was far higher
stake In his tense thought just then
than safes and bundles OF money The
frock coat and high hat were no sooner
well out OF sight than he sprang up
from where he lay in the thicket at the
edge OF the bottoms and hurried back
TO the skin: slid II out from the will

island. There he hid II again and
slipped through the tangle OF under

There reached him the dull sound Of
footballs on the cabin floor. and the
tiny craft rocked slightly as some one
evidently crossed from side to side. but
there was no sound OF voices: from
which he concluded that the unknown
tenant was alone
In the fast gathering shadows he
crept TO the edge OF the island; crawled

PLANT CONTROLLED
BY ALARM CLOCK
How Great Hydroelecfric.
Station Operates.

A hydroelectrie plant which is not
only the largest of its kind In the
world but, by operating automatically
and requiring an inspectors attention
only at rare intervals. furnishes power
10 many Industries Of New England, il
located at Searsburg, VI. The device
is so constructed that II operates In
complete solitude. even TO meeting
whatever emergency may arise. the
New York Times states.
II IL only when serious trouble In its
mechanism occurs that the plant shuts
down until experts make things right
again. II the trouble is trifiiEg. how
ever. the big water wheel and genera
tor rest for a time until conditions are
again normal and their functions are
automatically restored.
The Searsburg plant Is the upper
most of the seven stations of the New
England Power company on the Deer
field river. Its generator. with a ca
pacity Of $500 horse power. is driven
by a turbine rotating at 800 revolu-
lions a minute. The huge mechanism
can be timed in its activity by the
setting Of an alarm clock. IT, for in
stance, the company's dispatcher down
In MIllbury, 100 miles away In central
Massachusetts,, decides to tie in the
Searsburg power at 9 o'clock the next
morning a man visits the station and
sets an alarm clock for that hour.
The control circuit is closed when
the alarm goes off. the gate of the gi-
gantic penstock is opened. the waters
pour through the wheel and the gen.
orator begins TO convert its power into
electric current. This is delivered to
the high-tension wires by the same
generator. the wires stretching along
the right of way TO the Millbury dis
tributing station at Millbury. Again
the dispatcher. knowing the flow OF
water let down from the company's
Somerset reservoir, which impounds
the flow of the upper watershed, may
decide that the automatic device shall
generate 1000 or 5000 horse power
In such a case a dial on the governor
is set for that power, At which the
station will generate until the setting
of the dial Is changed.
Other characteristics Of this auto
matte machine are equally unique. II
allowed to run as 1t wants TO the tur-
bine will start up when water arrives
in sufficient volume. and will shut
down when the water falls below the
efficient limit. When a bearing be-
comes heated the penstock gate closes,
In which case the wheel will remain
idle until experts come to remedy the
trouble. When the generator windings
become too warm. however. the unit
shuts down only long enough to allow
the temperature to become normal
again. Then turbine and generator run
as though nothing amiss had happened
