Harlan Gets Divorce From Owner of Sanitarium NEW STATUS The Stroller Jim Cleary Southern Pacific agent at Yolo was born at Mt Morris New York and first entered railroading as a baggage man for the Erie For many years the Erie Railroad was the Toonerville Trolley of steam lines in the east and jokes about Erie their undependability their dirtiness and so forth were bandied about much as a whole saga of jokes grew up concerning the old flivver One of the standard cracks was about the guy who wanted to commit cide laid himself across an starved to death Competing for New York business waj the Lackawanna one the first railroads to adopt and smokeless their motives The company issued a whole series of advertisements about a mythical Phoebe Snow a very blonde damsel always clad in white who always rode on the Lackawanna And there'd appear a verse that went something like Here's Phoebe Snow wilh clothes so white She rides on the road of cite O O O Well Jim Cleary told the Stroller a joke about the Erie he'd heard before It seems that the president oi the Erie and the president of the Lackawanna were walking down Fifth avenue and the president of the Lackawanna stopped to chat a moment with a colored lady who was very very colored Who was the president of the Erie asked the rival president as the two resumed their walk answered the president of the Lackawanna was Miss Phoebe Snow She just rode to town on the Erie O- O O Jim railroaded in the east from 1907 to 1912 working up to operator Then prompted by an ambition con- in his youth he up and wandered to California where he found a job with the Southern Pacific Until 1916 he spent most of his time as agent at the town of Cisco near Truckee and in that year he was transferred to Yolo o- o Reflecting credit both upon Jim and the community in which he is now working is the fact that shipping in the Yolo station has practically tripled 1916 In that first year Jim handled the shipping of about 225 cars of livestock and produce In the carloads mounted to 403 and in 1928 the figure climbed to 677 o Interesting too to note records Jim revealed to show changes in the of shipping done by Yolo since In that year practically all the shipments were of barley and hay with a small amount of livestock 1 The 1928 shippings were divided as 275 carloads of mostly hogs and sheep 93 carloads of grapes carloads of lettuce cars of lettuce and the rest in grain box shook lumber and miscellaneous By and large the trend has been away from grain and hay to livestock grapes and lettuce This year Jim has already shipped considerable luce and after the fall crop has been handled he expects to have shipped or more carloads O O Talking about Three J the strictly professional Continued on CLARKSBURG FARM Escape
