of roads. By this system freight
trains will not be made up by the num-
Der of loads, but according to weight.
For instance, a trainload of straw hats
will have to weigh as much as train
load of steel rails, the difference being
that a greater number of loads of the
former article will be required than the
latter. The average weight of the
trains is to be determined after thor
ough test, which is now being made.
The train will arrive here about
Thursday.
