JEFFERSON PIONEER DIES

Dr. Wm. Se'dberry, born in
Alabama, March 24, 1839; died
April 19, 1923, at 12:30, in Jef-
ferson, age 84 years. Dr. Sed-
berry had been in feeble health
for several months and all that
careful nursing and attention
of his doctors and sons could
give was done to prolong his
life, which passed away peace-
fully at noon last Thursday.
Wm. J. Sedberry came to Texas
when a boy with his mother,
sisters, brothers, locating at
Jefferson. After serving four
years in the civil war he estab-
lished a drug business here,
which he has owned and man-
aged until this time, which is
said to bp thp oldest retail drug
business in the United States
owned and managed entirely
.".'id continuously by one man;
having never changed location
nor firm name in all of these
years. He was actively engag-
ed in the business until a few
months before his death
his health failed. — Jelfei

Equipped to move an increased load
Rail traffic doubles each generation. To adequately serve
its territory a railroad must constantly add facilities and
equipment. To keep pace with growth in the Southwest,
and to provide increased and efficient service, approximately
$40,000,000 has been expended in improving M. K. & T.
facilities and equipment since 1915, the beginning of the
- receivership which ended recently.
Since 1915 the M. K. & T. has enjoyed largely increased traffic and
revenue. Conditions beyond control of the management have
causcd increases in operating cost3 more than proportionate to the
increase in revenue, but through better facilitic3 and increased
efficiency, the Katy has steadily improved its servicc.
M. K. & T. operating expenses increased 73% during the
receivership period, while revenue increased but 68%. As a
result of higher wages, payroll costs increased 84% while
taxes increased 120%. Capital expenditures, which enlarged
transportation capacity and enabled more economical oper-
ation, made possible successful results.
The re-organized Katy is now receiving additional power and
equipment, purchased last year and involving an expenditure
of $7,500,000. Additional equipment of fifty-five new, modern
locomotives, 2500 new freight cars, and 30 new steel passenger
coaches is available to handle 1923 traffic. *
It is the Katy's purpose to continue the policies that have made
possible the improvements during the receivership, and to steadily
strengthen its capacity to serve the Southwest. The traffic es-
sential to successful railroad operation, and the support of the
public in the policies necessary to the maintenance of adequate
transportation service, are earnestly solicited.
