A magazine published in Philadel-
phia in 1918 gave the following as an
item of news: an the course of the
twelve months of 1917, $4,000 wagons
passed the Allegheny Mountains from
Philadelphia and Baltimore, each with
from four to six horses, carrying from
thirty-five to forty hundred weight.
The cost of carriage was about 81 per
hundred weight, in some cases as high
as $40, to Philadelphia. The aggre-
gate sum paid for the conveyance Of
goods exceeded 81, 10000 To move
a ton of eight between Pittsburg and
| Ehiladelphia, therefore, cost not less
than Sl4O, and took probably two
weeks time. In 1886, the average
amount received by the Pennsylvania
road for the carriage of freight was
three-quarters of one cent per ton per
mile. The distance flom Philadel-
phia to Pittsburg is 305 miles, so that
the ton which cost $40 in 1917 was
carried in 1886 for $2.07. At the
former time the workingman in Phila-
delphia had to pay Sl4 for moving a
barrel of -four from Pittsburgh, against
twenty eight cents now. The Pitts
burg consumer paid ST freight upon

from Philadelphia, while 100 pounds

INDIANA SAFELY D0OKED.
The Warships Long Wait for the Right Tide al
Port Royal, s. G.

At inst 1880 A. NJ on a tile which had
been ebbing for a good hour, the battlesh
Indiana steamed gallantly through the cals-
son of the Government dry dock on Farls
Island. with fully - inches to spare between
her keel AMI the blocks. l. was glad day
for the people OF Port Royal, AL the salts
fiction depicted upon the faces Of the oilcers
at the naval station was sulh ,lent leS"-
monial of the qualification which theyeXperl'
fenced in the vipdication of the work upon
which tbev have la5orel 50 long and fllth-
fully. The Indiana was put On the plocAs
not only with perfect ease aud success out
when the tide had been running out Tor at
least an hour.
The docking might, but for the extra pre-
cautions taken, have been done before.
The tide was at its height about $780, and
it had been designed to run the vessel into
the caissoa at that hour. But when the
m orning came the whole harbor was enyel-
oped in a dense shroud OF mist and fog. The
battleship was steered cautiously for the
dock in the leading strings Of four tugs. 80
much DELAY was occa3sione1 by the fog that
il was not until after 7 o'clock that she
cleared the clisson aud iOated in the water
of the dry dock According to the ofh'ial
figures there were then % feet and 8 inches
If tide. This was about four inches below
the normal. but it gave the ship good 10
inches to spare above the blocks
The pumps were turned on as soon as
everything was pronounced TO be snug
At first the pumping was done very slowly
70 give the men at work on the ships sides a
better chance to work. Three hours after the
work had started there was still 10 feet OF
water in the dock.
During the forenoon many excursion par
ties came down to tho island from Beaufort
andPort Royal, and the successful docking ol
the vessel was made the subject OF many
CONGRATULATIONS and much merry-maklnS
II was not until late in the afternoon thai
the last bit of water was pumped out
tbo dock. At o'clock she stood high anC
dry on the blocks.
She rested straight on her keel and was
bv actual measurement. just feet 10 inche
above the floor of the dock.
The officers and the others officially con
rected with the station are, as to the resul
of the operation. reticcnt, but their satlsia(
ton with the result of the work Is we
shown. No one can say, OF course, what tn
official report will be- but it is believed her
that it will express the conviction that III
dock is in splendid condition and that 1t
capable of holding any ship in the navy.
That the docking could have taken plaC
almost any day during the last week Is Nc
doubted. but it was thought best to ava
