ROUTT COUNTY, COLORADO, LAND BOOM PREDICTED.

Keen observers predict a big boom In property inWantland, Colorado, the new town which Is being built in the center of the Little Snake River Valley in Routt County, Colorado. A big Irrigation system is being built to irrigate 60,000 acres of very fine land surrounding Wantland. The land is being sold by the State of Colorado for 60 cents per acre, under the Carey Act, and water rights cost $35.00 an acre, in ten year payments. Sugar factories, flour mills, canneries, etc., are among the possible industries to be located at Wantland. Full information can be obtained from the Routt County Colonization Company, 1734 Welton St, Denver, Colo.

Alfred—Are you going to pass youi vacation at the seashore? Gilbert—No, thank you. It’s the woods for mine this year. Alfred—Don’t like the shore, eh? Gilbert—Oh, I like it well enough, but it’s too risky. I passed my vacation there last year and had several narrow escapes. Alfred—From drowning? Gilbert—No; summer girls. Sevea of them proposed to me.

VICTORY FOR SKILL

TRIBUTE TO ENGINEER'S QUICKNESS OF ACTION. Coolness and Promptness In Meeting Emergency Is .One of the Requisites Occuj&nt of the Cab Must Possess.

The blose calls that whiten the engineer’s hair are mostly due to some

to the wheels- about halfway between the axis and circumference. It is through these bars—called driving rods —that the wheels receive their impulse from the imprisoned steam. These “rods” weigh several thousands of pounds each. Occasionally one of their fastenings will break, and then every revolution of the wheel to which the other end is attached will send the rod swinging like a Titan’s flail, beating down 300 strokes a minute. Nothing can withstand these awful blows. They tear up the track below and shatter the engine above, especially the cab where rides the engineer. No disaster comes so unexpectedly and is so much dreaded as this. Almost invariably it happens when the engine is running at high speed. When a driver breaks it is a miracle if the men in the cab escape with their lives. If they do survive, and by their heroism succeed in stopping the train and avoiding a wreck, de spite the rain of blows from this huge flail of steel, their act brings forth a greater measure of praise than almost any other form of bravery that the railroad knows.

Only the other day, writes Thaddeus S. Dayton In Harper’s Weekly, one of the driving rods of a fast passenger locomotive broke while the train was running more than sixty miles an hour down the steep grades of Pickerel mountain. In an Instant the whirling bar of steel had smashed the cab and broken the controlling mechanism, so that it was impossible to bring the train to a stop by ordinary means. The great locomotive plunged forward like a runaway horse that had-thrown its rider. In some way, however, Lutz, the engineer, had escaped injury. He crept to the opposite side of the cab and climbed out through the little window upon the boiler to try to reach some of the controlling apparatus from the outside. He was working himself astride along ,the scorching boiler when suddenly Ihe engine struck a curve, which it took at terrific speed. The shock half threw the engineer from his perilous position, but he saved himself by grasping the bell rope. Then he worked himself down along the uninjured side of the swaying locomotive to where he could open one of the principal steam valves. A cloud of vapor rushed forth with a tremendous roar. Although robbed of i(s_ power, the locomotive did not Slar.’cen speed until it reached the bottom of the grade. Then, little by little. the thrashing of the great driving rod, which was pounding the upper part of the engine to- pieces, grew slower, and finally it stopped. No one was killed or injured, and not a passenger in the long train knew until it was over of the danger that had been avoided so narrowly.

Fewer Railroad Accidents.

The report of the interstate commerce commission shows that during 1909 “the number of killed by railroad accidents was reduced nearly one-half and the number injured nearly by 20 per cent., and yet 2,791 were killed and 63,920 injured last year, while In 1907, 5,000 persons were killed and 76,286 were injured. Of the 125,000,000 passengers transported by the Erie railroad in five years there was not a single fatality, although Its main line of one thousand mftisß has a large portion of Its mileage in single track. This increased safety of passengers is attributed by the interstate commerce authorities to improvements in the road beds, double tracks and the block system.

Railroad to Study Accidents.

A systematic study of the causes of accidents is to be made by the general claim agent of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, for the purpose of devising thd applying means of prevention, according to Popular Mechanics. The official will spend mbst of his time in the future on the toad, where he will get employes together, call their attention to means —by which accidents which have happened could have been avoided, and conduct a general accident elimination campaign.

Fast Travel Around the World.

A new once-a-week train on the Siberian railroad makes it possible to So around the earth in thirty-seven days. Pretty soon they will shave off so many days from the round trip that Phlneas Fogg need not worry even if he really leaves the gas burning behind him.

one else’s error or 1 oversight which he cannot foresee or prevent. That many of these close calls do not result fatally is due to the engineer’s swift and skillful meeting of the emergency. The great driving wheelß on which most of the enormous weight of the locomotive rests are connected by massive jointed bars of forged steel. The ends of these are attached

NEW SYSTEM A GOOD ONE

Has Bean Found to Aid In Developing Bense of Duty Among Railroad Employes. Rules and regulations on railroads are formulated for the systematic handling of affairs, to the end that life and property may be protected and that the maximum benefits may accrue to all concerned as a ’result of the efforts expended. It is thought by many in minor positions that these rules and regulations are given arbitrarily by those in authority, and are simply devised for the inconvenience of those who are expected to obey them; and, again, that discipline in many cases is applied to satisfy some personal grievance the superior is accused of harboring against men under him.

Another important factor which has been instrumental to a great degree in developing a remarkable sense of duty is the operation of a system which represents the triumph of modern railroad operation over the old method of laying a man off for disobedience of rules and making his family suffer. According to the present plan a man receives so many' merit or demerit marks, according to his attention or Inattention to rules. The operation of this system is an incentive to railroad men to do more than merely observe rules and follow out instructions. If a man simply goes along doing his work without mistakes he does not receive any extra merit marks, but if he has received demerits in the past he has a chance to clear up his record, as five demerits are taken from the black side of his envelope if he does not violate any rules during a month’s time.

However, the value of the new system does not come from the chance it gives a man to observe rules and clear up his record, but from the many opportunities of performing unusually meritorious service. For Instance, merit marks are placed to the credit of employes for such actions as reporting a broken flange, rendering assistance in clearing a track of a rock slide, discovering and extinguishing fires in cattle guards and, in fact, any kind of assistance in cases of emergency which is not mentioned in the book of rules, but service which is of immensely more value to the company. This system has made railroad employes more ambitious for good records and has naturally endowed them with this most valuable qualification—a sense of duty.

MOVED DEPOT ON ONE CAR

Somewhat Unusual Feat That Must Be Put to the Credit of New Mexicans. A two-story frame depot, 20 by 40 feet was recently moved intact on one flat car from Las Cruces to La Tuna, N. M., a distance of 24 miles. It was loaded onto a 40-foot car. It rose to a height of 30 feet above the rails. To allow of its passage it was necessary to take down all switchboards, whistling-posts and overhead wires en route, and to move the track out two feet at one point to allow it to pass another station. A loaded coal car was

attached to each end of the car on which the depot was placed, stringers were fastened to the ends of the cars, and lines were run from the stringers to the second story to brace it, thus making a base of practically 120 feet The car springs jvere blocked and made as rigid as possible. The 24-mile trip was made in six hours.—Popular Mechanics. Sprinklers on Wooden Trestlework. Only a few years ago every traveler In the dry west of the United States was familiar with the red barrels placed over wooden trestle-work of the railroads. The barrels on either side were placed outside possible contact with the widest cars, and each barrel of water had Its buckets, witfi which a chance fire might be fought A more recent precaution consists of a water pipe line fitted underneath the cross ties, with sprinklers adjusted so that In turning on. the water In dry times just enough misty spray was forced upward to keep the ties continuously wet. This new device is working on the line of the Klamath Lake railroad In Oregon.

They were seated at the breakfast table. “John, dear,” said the young wife, "this is my birthday.” “I’m glad you mentioned it, darling,” rejoined her husband. “I’ll buy you a present the first thing when I get downtown.” “Well,” she said, “I hope you wont’ get any cheap 98-cent affair." "Of course I wont,” he replied. “Why, I would be ashamed to present you with anything that cost less than a dollar."
