THE OLD RELIABLE &AKlN5 POWDER TfMKtsmstMsrrrujt WITTY RAILROAD MANAGER Discourses on the In fluence of Scenery on Travel Relation of Railroads to the Solution of the Yexed Race Prob' lems E. O. McConnlck, general traffic manager of tho Southern Pacific com pany delivered nn address nt tho Trans-Mlsslsslppl congress hold nt Seattle on American scenery nnd its Induenco on travel, thnt la a revela tion of tho high character of literary blllty that Is possessed by some of the prominent railroad managers of the Present time. The address Is permeated with great bredth of thought and bright touches of real wit, nnd It must havo been a real treat to hear It delivered. Here Is a sample In the epening: "Whnt Influence scenery has upon travol, cannot bo reduced to figures. No statistics can bo kept. Wo cannot cntechlso people who buy tickets to learn whether they nro traveling for pleasure, for education, for tho Bako of fine scenery, or mcieiy to escape from tholr creditors." To glvo our readers nnd thoso who havo occasion to mako public address es a taste of the fine qualities of this production, we quoto tho following paragraphs: Value of Vacation Travel. "Certain eastern roads estimate It as worth from $500,000 to 1800,000 to or.ch of them for a ceason, whllo tho larger systems, such as tho Now York Central nnd tho Pennsylvnnln, must run into millions each year.
