CARS ARE SCARCE
Railroads Are Behind In Moving Or
ders of Freight.

A railroad car famine exists through
out the country, and the bulls in Wall
street point to this fact as illustrating
the great commercial prosperity of the
country. At some points the congestion
is such that railroads are declining to
receive any freight whatever.
One Wall street concern has had sew
eral carloads of hemp at a small station
near Lexington. KY, for four weeks
Its efforts to get cars to bring the hemp
TO New York have been unavailing-
The United States Steel corporation
has been one of the greatest sufferers
by the car scarcity. 1t has been almost
impossible for it to get cars at Pittsburg
to ship its products east The Pennsyl-
vania railroad has 1000 cars. and yet
il is said to be three weeks behind in
moving freight at some points In or
der to remove the congestion this win
ter the Pennsylvania railroad has
placed orders for $4,000 pressed steel
cars
The authorities in the coal trade say
that on the Lehigh Valley alone several
hundred thousand tons of coal have
been sold. but cannot be moved because
of the car shortage
A prominent railroad official says that
miners throughout the east, west and
northwest are clamoring for cars, but
that there is no prospect of their de-

the Topeka shops into beet cars
The arrangement consists simply in
rigging uD on the sides of an ordinary
fiat car a series swing doors. which are
suspended from a rod carried upon the
upper extremity of stakes fitted into
ordinary side stake pockets The top
of the body of the car thus formed IS
stiffened by a rail inches in width by
1 inch in thickness bOlted to each Of
the stakes. and opposite stakes are con-
nected across the car by a Ss-lnch rod
The pin upon which the hinges turn IS
continuous from one end of the car to
the other. and is formed of a 1-inch
gas pipe, the balance of the hinge being
a strap OF by Z inch iron The swing
doors are feet inches in width and
when IN use are fastened TO the side
sill by a latch and a simple strap haSp,
which is locked by a hook fastener
The side doors are made of 1-inch
boards, strengthened by cross braces
and by a base strip IL inches in thick

ven exceedingly satisfactory for the
special work for which the cars were
son the whole upper rigging is easily
removed and the cars restored to their
original condition as fat cars

special equipment of some sort would
be absolutely necessary. The new cars

the problem
1t is said that the beet crop in the
Arkansas valley is unusually heavy
and that the farmers are getting from
$3.50 TO s. ton for the beets The
Santa Fe has during the past summer
been theoretically booming the Arkan-

Prowers county, Col. largely owned By
the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet and r.
rigated Land company, is the territory
which the Santa Fe is trying to build
up. This land is watered by the Anity
canal, and five huge reservoirs. which
form part of the ground for the suits
now pending in the United States su-
preme court involving the water rights
OF the Arkansas river.
Agents of the Santa F'e and the beet
