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. Musselshell, Smith River,

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.

stories. 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

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.
