PAGE TWO Story of Milwaukee (Continued from page one) Tbe Puget Sound linos were not built in a day nor a year. Long years passed while the master minds were working out the details anil the cross ing of tho 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 tht East and the West, the dividing liue between the older company's lines and those of the extension. While the par ent svstem has recently taken over the whole western extension, the bridge still marks the dividing line between the old aud the new and for years to come will designate the link bringing two great railroads together. The liue from Mobridge was planned from tho very start to be built upon standard lines with the least possible bar to effi cient handling of freight and passeuger traffic. Close attention was given to agricultural and general industrial pos sibilities with the result that the line has been constructed through a wealthy and scenically beautiful region with n "back country" of undeveloped re sources that will take years to develop but which will forever be tributary to the main line. At Roundup a great coal mine was opened aud the fuel sup ply was assured. In Montana the route was selected through the far-famed Judith basin and the valleys of the Yellowstone.

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 and made practically as good as new.

While the first attention has been given to the industrial upbuilding of the country traversed by the new line, the passeuger department was equally aggressive. The initial train sent out of Puget Sound wag. the equal of any in the world. Combining all the estab lished features of modern railroad travel with many new ideas, the train made up from headlight to tail light of Milwaukee equipment of latest build aud steel construction, thf Olympian, named for the capital and greatest mountain range in the State of Wash ington, carried through the cities, vil lages and farms a message of new ideas of transportation by rail and it is no unusual sight to see the Montana ranchman entering into the spirit; of four o'clock tea with a zest that here tofore has only been known to the leisure-loving Englishman or New Yorker.

Not ouly are the papers han dicapped iu this directiou, but tele graph aud telephone, facilities are fre quently limited. This state of affair often preveut tho correspondent from Rotting a good story to his paper, al though ho may have all the facts iu hi possession. All of theso circumstances are known, however, and recognized by tho managing editors aud "go" as excuses for what seemed ncgligeuc6 at the time. The country correspondent is uot supposed to sleep. Technically ho is always with his ear to the telephone taking orders by "long-distauco" or else waiting for the messenger ' boy with his yellow ouvolope and sigua tore book. In his book of instructions tho correspondent is giveu emphatic orders to be in touch with the tele phone or telegraph at all hours of the day aud night, so thut he can bo giveu an assignment with as little delay, al most, as a staff man in the home of fice. Not only must he bo on tho alert after events that will read well in the columns of the city papers, but also must he bo prepared ' to respond immediately to an order to secure an interview with some "leading citizen" or investigate somo report which may have reached the managing editor. Ho may be required to hire an automobile and race 'cross country In pursuit of aome clew or he may be re quired to secure photographs of per sons who may feature among "the killed" or be the principals in some crime or scandal. There is no time given him to ask for explanations, in structions, or just what he I supposed to get. There is no time for question ing concerning possible expense, loss of sleep or meals. The live correspond ent, however, never thinks of these things. He promptly forgets his fam ily aud 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 city desk, it is true, but the circumstances must be very trying and tho obstacles almost unsurmouutable. Tbe country correspondent does not expect quarter, neither docs he give It. The story hii paper wants is tho one that his paper gets, no matter whom it may concern or what interests may be involved. First and foremost, the correspond ent must be reliable. Exaggeration, falsification or, worst of all, pure "faking" will not be tolerated, and the guilty correspondent js "fired" immediately his faults are found out. There is always some reader or sub scriber of the ity papers who send su indignant letter exposing the corre spondent and his questionable story. A sharp reprimand usually comes before dismissal. It behooves tho correspond ent, theroforo, to obey bis instruction to the letter. Far better it is for him to let his paper get "scooped" than to wire a libelous article or a story thnt may call for a retraction iu tbe next issue. Next to reliability comes alert ness. The correspondent must have a "never-asleep habit." To bo success ful he must be in touch with everyone in his county who is situated at a foun tain head of news. He must have on his staff the police, the sheriff's of fice, telephone and telegraph 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 a home infested with vermin.

SarnsT Bleo trlc Paste Co., Chicago, 111. iu fact, any and everybody who may possibly hear of a good uew item, Thus it will be seen that the corre spondent must be a diplomat and "staud 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 canuot afford to pay them for their trouble in his behalf. The correspondent with tho most friends is the oue to whom the managing editor many miles away must often write letters of commendation. The managing editor dons not know how his correspondent got his stories. Ho doesn't care. Ho knows thnt tho paper is being well served, aud 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 be Is required to "query" or "schedule" his paper, giv ing briefly the nature of the news and the number of words in hit judgment necessary to tell It properly. For in stance, he will prepare a message something like this: "Collision on 0. & N.; 10 killed, 83 injuredj 800. SMITH." If ho has a less Important story his "query" will read like this: "John Jones, prominent farmer, commits suicide while rusnne; 100. "SMITH." The editor who handles the message will order tho story at onco, providing he 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 tho number of words suggested by the correspondent He may order only 200 words on the wreck, or be may ask for 1000, Editors gaugo tho orders some times upon their personal view of the human interest attached to the story, tho 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 woo to the country correspondent lies in the prone ness of the managing editor to detail a staff of men to handlo 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 tho editor may prefor an original and extensice story, one different from that sent any other paper, and he sends a man who is familiar with tho style nnd 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 inado tho correspondent usually gets disgusted with his job and rebels at what ho con siders unfair treatment. He Is cnllod upon to assist the staff man in every possiblo way as a rule, it is the corre spondent who gets the story and tho stnff man who writes it up. The re ward of the correspondent is usually a cigar or a drink, whilo he loses out on the anticipated fattoning of his string" to tho extent of a column or more. It might be explained that string" is a well known newspaper term for the aggregate of clippings of stories sent by the correspondent or space writer to his paper. Theso clip pings are saved day by day, and at the end of each month are pasted to gether and mnrked 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 05 miles so that the time signals are well received even with the small aerial used. No doubt the railroad will ex tend tbe use of the wireless method in the future. A station which is so equipped can also send the time over the ordinary telegraph lines to other railroad stations.
