Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO Story of Milwaukee -(Continued from page one) The Puget ftound lines were not built in a day nor a year. Long' yean passed while the master minds were working out the details and the cross ing of the Missouri on the splendid steel bridge at Mobridge was not un dertaken until all the details had been carefully worked out. This bridge marks the connecting link between the East and the West, the dividing line between the older company's lines and those of the extension. While the par ent system has recently taken over the j whole western extension, the bridge still mnrka the dividing lino between tho old aud the now and for years to come will designate tho link bringing two great railroads toother. The line from Mobridgo was planned from the very stnrt to be built upon standard lines with the least possible bar to effi cient handling of freight and paxscngcr traffic. Close attention wns given tu agricultural and general industrial pos sibilities with the result that the line has been constructed through a wealthy aud scenieally beautiful region with a "back country" of undeveloped re sources that will take years to develop but which will forever bo tributary to tho main line. At Koitiidiip u grout coal mine was opened and tho fuel sup ply was assured. In Montana tho route was selected through tho far-famed Judith basin and tho valleys of the Yollowstone, Musselshell, Smith River, . Gallatin, Deer Lodge, Missoula, Black foot.

Less than one year's work usually tells the story of the difference in construction between a high-grade, high-priced and high-powered car, and -those built to sell at a low first cost. The strain of gear shifting, the jar of road shocks, and the stress of brake work begin- to tell on cheap cars. The man who wants a thoroughly depend able car at a moderate price, the very "best buy" is a high-grade used car that has been rebuilt nnd made practically as good as new.

Not only are the papers han dicapped in this direction, but tele graph and telephone facilities are fre quently limited. This state of affairs often prevents the correspondent from getting a good story to his paper, al though he may have all the facts in his possession. All ox these circumstances are known, however, and recognized by the managing editors and "go" as excuses for what seemed negligence at the time. The country correspondent ia not supposed to sleep. Technically ha in always with his ear to the telephone taxing orders by "long-distance" or else waiting for the messenger boy with his yellow envelope and signa ture book. In his book of instructions the correspondent is given emphatic orders to be in touch with the tele phone or telegraph at all hours of the day and night, so that he can be given an assignment with as little delay, al most, as a staff man in the home of fice. Not only must he be on the alert atter events that will read well in the columns of the city papers, but also must he be prepared to respond immediately to an order to secure an interview with some "leading citizen" or investigate some report which may have reached the managing editor. He may be required to hire an automobile and race 'cross country in pursuit of some clew or he may be re quired to secure photographs of per sons who may feature among "the killed" or be the principals in Borne crime or scandal. There is no time given him to ask for explanations, in structions, or just what he is supposed to get. There is no time for question ing concerning possible expense, loss or sieep or meaiB. xne live correspond ent, however, never thinks of those things. He promptly forgets his fam ily and his body and obeys orders like the faithful servant he is. That he must get what he is told to. and that delay will not be tolerated, is the one principle under which the correspond ent works. Due consideration of espe cially trying circumstances or obsta cles is made by the man at the citv desk, it is true, but the circumstances must be very trying and the obstacles almost unsurmountable. The country correspondent does not expect auartnr. neither does he give it. The story bis pnper wants is the one that his paper gets, no matter whom it may concern or what interests may be involved. First and foremost, the corroannml- ent must be reliable. Exaggeration, falsification . or, worst of all, pure "faking" will not be tolorated, and the guilty correspondent is "fired" immediately his faults are found out. Thcro is always some wiador or sub- ! scribcr of tho city papers who sends an indignant letter exposing the corre spondent and his questionable story. A j sharp reprimand usually comes before j dismissal. It behooves the corrcspond- ont, therefore, to obey his instructions to the letter. Far bettor it is for him to let his paper get "scopped" than to wire a libelous article or a story that may call for a retraction in the next issue. Next to reliability comes alert ness. The correspondent must have a "never-asleep habit." To be success ful he must be in touch with everyone in his county who is situated at a foun tain head of news, ne must have on his staff the police, the sheriff's of fice, telephone and telograph operators Time By Wireless At the St. Quentin station on the Northern Railroad in France there has been installed a wireless tele graph station for receiving time sig nals from the Eiffel Tower station so as to have the exact time and Always the Best Optimo Cigars Now better than ever RATS in the Cellar MICE in the Pantry ROACHES in the Kitchen Nothing is more disagreeable than home infested with vermin.

BrnsT Ble trlo Past Co., Cbleago, I1L in fact, any and everybody who may possibly hear of a good news "hem. thus it will be seen that the corre spondent must be a diplomat and "stand in" with all sorts of people. He must be a person of considerable magnetism to keep his hold on his corps of volunteer assistants, for he eannot afford to pay them for their trouble in his behalf. The correspondent with the most friends is the one to whom the managing editor many miles away must often write letters of commendation. The managing editor does not know how his correspondent gets his stories. He doesn't care. He knows that the paper is being well served, and that's enough to know. The correspondent's work is gov erned by a code of rules to which he is supposed to adhere strictly. When a story develops he is required to "query" or "schedule" his paper, giv ing briefly the nature of the news and the number of words in his judgment necessary to tell it properly. For in stance, he will prepare a message something like this: "Collision on G. & N.; 10 killed, 25 injured; 500. SMITH." If he has a less important story his query" will read like this: "John Jones, prominent farmer, commits suicide while insane; 100. "SMITH." The editor who handles the message will order the story at once, providing ne wants it. If he orders it he will send a message something like this: "Rush suicide," or "Send wreck story." He may enlarge or cut down the number of words suggested by the correspondent. He may order only 200 words on the wreck, or he may ask for iuou. ditors gauge the orders some times upon their personal view of the human interest attached to the story, the policy of their paper and the pres sure of space. All these things must be considered in handling the hun dreds of queries that pour into the of fice of the metropolitan paper day after day. It takes genius to pick the wheat from the chaff, to secure every thing of interest and importance and still avoid printing libelous matter and spending money for worthless mes sages. The principal source of woe to the country correspondent lies in the prone ness of the managing editor to detail a staff of men to handle what big sto ries come up and thus deprive the cor respondent of a chance to fatten his "string." In cases of important polit ical gatherings, conventions or sensa tional or mysterious crimes the editor may prefer an original and extensive story, one different from that sent any other paper, and he sends a man who is familiar with the style and policy of the paper, and who will turn out a story in accordance with the ideas pop ular to that particular publication. When such assignments are made the correspondent usually gets disgusted with his job and' rebels at what he con siders unfair treatment, ne is called upon to assist the staff man in every possible way as a rule, it is the corre spondent who gets the story and the staff man who writes it up. The re ward of the correspondent is usually a cigar or a drink, while he loses out on the anticipated fattening of his "string" to the extent of a column or more. It might be explained that "string" is a well-known newspaper torm for the aggregate of clippings of stories sent by the correspondent or space writer to his paper. These clip pings are saved day by day, and at the end of each month are pasted to gether and marked off by the column, remuneration being made at so much per column. thus be able to set the station clocks more accurately than before. The distance from Paris is about 95 miles so that the time signals are well received even with the small aerial used. No doubt the railroad will ex tend the use of the wireless method in the future. A station which is so equipped can also send the time over the ordinary telegraph lineB to other railroad stations.
