A method of baling cotton which has
been practiced TO some extent for a few
months past possesses some points of in
terest TO carriers as well as shippers. The
cotton is taken directly from the gin and
formed into compact roll, the process OF
rolling excluding air between the layers
and securing density OF about 10 pounds
to the cubic foot. in place OF 20 or 20 pounds
by ordinary methods OF compression. Tho
bales are covered with jute burlap or nom
combustibe paper. reducing tarc to from
four to six pounds and effecting decrease
in insurance charges. The material Is also
said to maintain uniform density
throughout the bale. In recent shipment
an Illinois Central box car contained 157
bales. weighing $1,000 pounds. The ma
chinery for the new system Of compression
IN manufactured by the Walburn- Swensoa
company OF Chicago. The bales are OF
uniform size and weight, are easily han
died and are not subject to loss or damage
from exposure to the clements In transit.

At sixty miles an hour the resistance OF

Two Cents IA Mile Legislation.


Railway Age
If the railways do not sell thousand mile
tickets at two-thlrds the rate per mile Of
single trip tickets. the commercial men de-
nounce them If they do the deinagoguoa
attack them for discriminating against tho
poor. Thus the governor elect OF Michigan
pathetically remarks: "The people that
have plenty of money can ride one third
cheaper in this State than those that are
II 1000 mile book and ride for 2 cents
him pay cents. Nice state OF affairs. isn't
1t? Fine thing for the railroads. too, you
know" To remedy this distressful condi-
ton of things and compel the man who
travels ten thousand miles year to pay
the same rate as the man who rides ten
miles the governor elect proposes that the
Legislature Ak n rate Of . cents a mile for
everybody and thus punish the roads for
responding TO the demand for thousand
mile tickets Suppose such law passed;
then the irropressible commercial travellers
would raise a cry for thousand mile tick
els at cent a mile and the next legislature
to punish the road for depressing the COM
mcrcial interests of the State. would pass
a law granting the relief asked by tho
travelling men; and so on indefinitely, until
the railways were all bankrupted. Between
| the commercial Traveller who is always
travelling and the politicians poor man"
who seldom travels there would always DO
an irrepressiblc conflict In regard to dis
eliminating rates. and the roads would al
ways be the sufferers.
