hese are strenuous, times for" the
railroad boys.'- Everything Is so dry
that a spark roon makes a small prat
tle fire unless It Is Immediately stop
ped. That Is true on the branch lines.
The through passenger trains have to
make their schedules Irrespective of
what follows.
The boys on the Elgin branch are
earning their money ail 'right. This Is
not the snap that many seem to think
it Is. Yesterday, while coming In with
Conductor Grady, the train stopped no
less than three times to put out fires
which, If permitted to run wild, would
have threatened several grain fleldB.
In the cupola of every caboose sits
a man apparently with nothing to do,
but his eagle eye Is watching the rear
of the train and to him Is dally en
trusted thousands of dollars' worth of
grain. While there haje been scores
of fires along the right' of way, no
r." been done this season, all
due to the acrefulness of the train
boys. ; '
