Railroad freights are improving. now
that the time to meet the early spring
trade has arrived, and the moyem emf
Is alreAdy quite large. Heretofore the
oulk OF shipments has bean ViG the
Union Pacific, but the activity nf the

Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads
and the fact that freights are delivered

less time. has turned the tide, and now
the movements are more equally divided
Win the prospect In short time that the
