San Francisco, March 21. Julius
jvruttaohnitt, fourth vice-president and
general manager of the Southern Pacific
who is to become director of transpor
tation of all the Harriman lines, with
Jieadqnarters in Chicago, will retain his
flit lo of the vice-presidency of the
.Southern Pacific, as did Mr. Stubbs
when be vas appointed traffic director
of the Harriman lines.
Mr. Stubbs is on his way here from
Chicago, and it is thought that after a
conference with Mr. Kruttschnitt, he
'will appoint a general manager for the
Southern Pacific. The position to which
'Kruttschnitt has been promoted is a
siew oiv to the Harriman system and to
.the railroad world, and is taken to in
dicate clearly the growing tendency to
centralize operation and traffic on all al
lied or amalgamated railway systems.
As director of transportation, Mr.
Kruttschnitt will have in sole charge
the operation of the Southern Pacific,
Oregon Short Line, Oregon ?Railroad
and Navigation Company and Union
Pacific railroads, and it is the plan
eventually to give him an .'assistant at
Chicago. As director of transportation
he is expected to unify the system and
affect economies of operation on the
same scale as those effected by th
.ralDcon three of the greatest allied
-.systems will have been brought about.
Mr. Kruttschnitt was born in Ne
Orleans in July, 1854, and is a graduate
from tlie engineering school ot the
' Washington and Lee University. His
rfntire railroad experience has been in
he West and Southwest, and since
be has risen rapidly in tbe esteem
jf Mr. Harriman. During that year he
was made general manager of all the
southern Pacific lines, and began the
extensive betterments which resulted in
"the rebuilding of the system, the def
erence of dividends and the recent sen
sational Keene pool in Southern Pacific.
"Under his management as general man
ier, nearlv $70,000,0i) has been ex
ended upon the system. When C. M.
2Iays was retired as president of the
: oad, Mr. Harriman selected Mr. Krutt
sehnitt to be fourth vice-president, rep
. esenting Mr. Harriman as president.
Mr. Kruttschoitt today confirmed the
report t hat C. H. Mark ham is to sue
eed him a3 general manager of the
Southern Pacific.

KEEPS THE BOYS AT HOME.
Farmers' Association ia Southern Illi
nois Has Ttala Object for Its
1'rlmcipol Aim.
The continual exodus of boys from the
farms of southern Illinois to the cities
is being combated in this section of
Egypt by a society bearing the name of
Farmers' Relief association. The asso
ciation is the outgrowth of an idea
hatched in southern Illinois, and in the
seven counties where the society is or
ganized its effects are plainly seen, sayg
the Chicago Inter Ocean. The rush of
young men to St Louis, Chicago and Cin
cinnati has been almost completely
stayed. The farmers' boys are them
selves members of the new organization,
which has in a manner furnished at
tractions to rural life which largely off-
sut the allurements of the city.
The Farmers' Relief association is
modeled somewhat upon the line of the
trades union, and mbodlea some of the
best and moat reasonable features of
former ill-born farmers' societies. The
central idea of the association is to make
country life attractive. The founder,
James H. England, contended that if in
each school district the families could
be brought into closer social relations
and the life given some little variety
; problem would be solved.
The school district was made th unit
in the plan. The school teacher was
raised from mere pedagogue to social
arbiter. He is called the chairman of
the community committee, and he sees
that there is always "some sort of do
in's," as the people say. The Wagner
school district, a few miles south of Car
bondale, is the best organized com
munity. In the Wagner society every
person in the district, transient or resi
dent, is entitled to membership. To the
social events of the district the rural
pedagogue invites every man. woman
and child. That means that there are
no feuds, no quarrels, no wrangling, in
the community, for all the people meet
in a social way.
The society has gone further than
this, and has installed a school district
telephone system. An old lady who has
nothing to do but darn heavy home
knit socks or sew carpet rags is the
"hello girl." Each family in the district
pays five dollars annually for the use of
a telephone, and they use It. The young
men do their courting over the tele
phone when the weather is bad. and the
only complaint of the telephone serv
ice to be made so far was that one rainy
night Cupid had connected so many
of the subscribers th-' a very sick man
could not get a mesui through to the
doctor in Carbondale. 1 he man did not
die, however.
As soon as the telephone system was
in working order the school teacher
organized a string band. This country
musical organization furnishes the
music at the dancts and the church so
ciables. The band has a repertoire that
includes everything from "The A rksnsas
Traveler' to "Comin Through the Rye,"
and there is hardly a night in a month
that it is not engaged.
The Home league, the twin K!s:rr to
the Farmers' association, is the woman's
club of the country. It is conductfd on
the same lines as the clubs in the cities.
It conducts a class in domestic science,
and does its share of entfrrtalning. The
two organizations combined have hit the
credit, or "on tick," pystem a knockout
blow. If a member has anything to sell
he must demand rash for it. If he buys
he mu6t pay cash.
All these things combined hare helped
to make country life attractive to the
country people. When all the plans are
fully carried out the organizers believe
thnt the young men, or the proportion
of them which remain In the country,
will be satisfied to stay out of the cities.
PARTNERS IN A CONTINENT.
Th lTnltl State and Citnadn as Joia
Owuin of lh I'pjsttr Kvr
World.
Canadian progress has recently be
gun to keep sa-p with that of the United
Stales, the southern partner in the own
ership oi a uMitinent. The Dominion
has about one-fourteenth the popula
tion of this country. About 80,000 immi
grants settled there during the fiscal
year recently closed, or oneienth as
many as came to the United States.
The smaller number, says Youth's
Companion, means more to our north
ern neighbor than the larger one uoes
.o the United States, for the immigrants
o Canada are occupying practically new
country and blazing the way if one may
use the hure of the forest in writing of
a tifeeieos rtion lor the thousands
who are to cone alter them to make the
prairies of the north blossom as the
. .illations of the south.
The ne w population is settling in the
wheat-growing and cattle-raising re
gions, where land is cheap and plentiful
enough Lu supply adjoining farms for
the sons of thj largest family in Eu
rope or America. Between five and ten
million acres of land have been sold by
private companies within the past three
years, and many thousand acres more
have been disposed of by the govern
ment under the homestead laws.
The eliect of the influx of population
is shown in the crop reports. The farm
ers of Manitoba produced more thkn 50,
000,000 bushels of wheat in 1V01, where
as the yield of the province ten years be
fore wa3 only 23.000,000 bushels. The
increase in the wheat production of the
Dominion, from 61,000,000 bushels to
85,000,000 bushels, is due to the growth
of this province.
American farmers need not fear the
competition of Canadian wheat. There
will be a market for all that can be
raised. American producers of all kinds
ought rather to fetl an interest in the
development of the resources of this
continent, the Canadian half of it ai
well as the American.
