thousands of Visit0rs Expected to

During Week of
Sept. L.

Western roads find themselves greatly
hampered for lack of a sufficient supply
of passenger equipment to meet the ex-
traordinary demands now made upon
them.
The county and state fair season has
arrived and from every county seat
throughout the entire section through
which their lines run there is an impera-
tive call for cars, which is greater than
can possibly be met.
Added to this county fair business is
Labor day business, which is increasing
the embarrassment. A great many of the
industrial centers throughout the West
are making special arrangements to cele-
. bTate Labor day this year In quite a
number of cases reduced rates from near
by territory have been authorized for
these celebrations, and it is expected that
there will be a tremendous rush of travel
for the events.
There has never been a period of like
length in the history of the railroads
when there has been so much passenger
traffic as during the last summer. Its
proportions have been a surprise to pas
senger officials, and notwithstanding the
reported crop failures, it keeps up with
surprising steadiness.
The Minnesota state fair will bring
thousands over the St. Paul and Mime
apolis lines of railway, and extraordinary
precautions are being taken by the roads
to lay in a sufficient quantity of rolling
