The improvements on the Main Line. Of

tween Martinsburg, w. Vay and North

Der LIST. They cover q distance OF nearly
four miles, starting three miles west OF Mar.
tinsburg, and extending some distance
west OF Myers Hole, which is near the North
Mountain station, At Myers Hole the line
was changed, taking out some very OBJ;
jectionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two
grades Of ~ feet per mile which came to-
gether at Myers Hole and substituting there
for an almost level track. This point on the
road has always been dangerous one, and
many freight wrecks have occurred there.
Apart from doing away with the dangerous
feature OF two sharp down grades coming
together, as was the case in this instance,
the saving in operation OF the road by the
change will be very large, as II enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased and
reduces the liability Of accident TO the min
imum. At Tablers the road. bed has been
lowered about l3 feet, and the same at
Tabbs, besides taking out objectionable curv.
AZURE and reducing the rate OF grades at
these points from ~ feet per mile TO 10 feet
per mile, thus increasing the cars that can
be hauled per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite sum OF money, the
expenditure is fully justified by the great
saving in operation.

account Of ticks and originating below the

The interesting fact Is disclosed by the above
table that the cattle taken TO KANSAS from the
Kansas City stock yards were distributed In
small lots and not massed on few large oper-
ators, owing chiefly to the effect Of the drought
that prevailed In southern half and somewhat
severely In the southwest quarter OF the ngri-
cultural portion OF the state during the past
season. the distribution OF cattle taken from
the yards has been somewhat uneven. II IL es-
timnted that north half took probably more
than three-hfths OF the whole number taken.
The southeast quarter Of the state has taken
comparatively the smallest number. while the
southwest quarter sold many and bough! none
