Portions of the grip ping surface of the tie plates may be extended upward to engage with the head of the rail at one or both sides, forming a superior brace for the rails, especially at their outer sides on a curve.

The fol- loing is from the South western Farmer regarding a carload of cheese: The first carload of cheese ever shipped from the Salt RiNer valley, or for that matter from Arizona, went out Tues day evening of this week from Tempe the product of the factory at that point.

This has been the difficulty heretofore, not alone with this particular dairy product, but with agricultural products in general 1.-the rates accorded having been almost prohibitive. Whenever the transportation companies can be induced to make rate which will be acceptable it will be a grand thing for the producers of Arizona and the whole south west. And that day is coming.
