The members Of the Traffic Association
arc not idle these days, though there is little
news to publish concerning their efforts in
the matter Of securing cheaper transpOrta-
ton. Considerable attention is now being
given 10 the compilation of facts and
figures which will show the railroad situa-
ton as it really is. 1t will be a production
Of more general interest as a whole TO the
merchants and producers Of California than
any publication Of local origin recently
made. At least that is the view of those
who are carefully studying the situation
from day to day, and they are pleased at
the ease with which matters hitherto sup
posed to be complex and beyond the COM
mon understanding are reduced TO simple
elements. Here is about the way the mat
ter stands, according TO the representations
from prominent merchant:
THE data to be compiled and now In
process OF compilation viii cover the whole
field. 1t will be shown how much coal costs at
different railroad supply points aud COM

ing expenses Of different systems will be

however, was upward under the influence OF an I'M

active and firm with most OF the list close to first

LAST NAIL IN THE WOMAN'S BUILD
ING.

Mrs. Potter Palmer, president OF
the board of lady managers Of the
worlds fair exposition, will drive the
last nail used in completion of the
woman's building This nail will be
furnished by the women of Montana,
and will be a very wonderful one, as
is indicated by this description of it,
given by the Helena, Montana, In
dependent =
The nail has been made so as to
form the back or crossbar of
brooch, which is to be a shield bear
ing the coat of arms of Montana
reproduced in native gold without a
trace of alloy in it's composition.
The shield will be of gold, and the
symbolical figure will be made of the
same metal but of different cOlOrs.
The waterfall in the foreground will
be of light colored gold sunk into the
shield, and the plow and pick, stand
ing at the foot of the falls, will be of
a darker shade, as will be the back
ground or relief The wreath sur
rounding the escutcheon will be of
native gold, and the figures of the
two men supporting the whole on
either side will also be of the same
rich yellow gold. Underneath will
be the scroll, bearing the motto of
the state, "Oro V Plata" In the
two upper portions of the wreath
two Montana sapphires will be in
serted. Instead of merely engraving
the figures, each will be wrought
separately and then fastened to-
gether, making the task ofshaping the
brooch not only delicate but an ex
ceedingly difficult one, and one that
will require much skill and patience.
To Mrs. J. E. Richards of Butte be-
longs the credit of the happy idea of
making the last nail one of such
interest. In design the nail, which
