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

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.

City's Papers

stories. 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

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.
