Three more of the new passenger coaches arrived here yes-
terday morning and the first new baggage car is on the way up.

New and improved patterns of signal lanterns soon to be in-
troduced on the line.

Jack Todd, the engineer, is now called "the ten-cent man" by
the knowing ones on the line.

Marley Wilson, the Sault division brakeman, enjoys the re-
putation of being the "greatest masher" on the entire road.
That's the reason Tom Holden doesn't like the run on that divi-
sion.

If the South Shore boys can discover nine more men built
like Will Floeter they intend to fit up a croquet ground with
animated wickets. Will denies the rumor that a pig ran be-
tween his legs without attracting his notice.

Even if one of his new clerks is named Jay, Joe Otterson
denies that the occupants of his office on the dock are "a lot
of jays."

Louis Reau and Ed Knight, having flagged their train from
Hendrie to Sault Jc., now flag their way along as private cit-
izens. Nice fellows, though, and will fetch up all right -
somewhere

Mr. EB. V. Sedgwick, superintendent of motive power and ma-
chinery, has just returned from Philadelphia, and reports that
the first of the 15 new passenger engines and 15 new freight
engines being built at the Baldwin Works for the South Shore
will probably arrive here by August 1.
