GREAT CAR FAMINE.
Immense Losses Sustained by Southern
California Fruit Growers.

Los ANGELES. Cal. March 9.-Re-
ports continue to come in from all
over Southern California about the
shortage OF fruit cars and the ina
bility Of the railroad companies to han

large growers have already lost heav-
ily and, if something is not done in
the near future, tons of marketable
oranges and lemons will go to waste.
The situation is declared to be un-
precedentel and thousands OF dollars
have already been lost to the fruit
growers of Southern California with
more to follow. even under the most
favorable circumstances. Several pack
ing houses have been forced to close
their doors simply because they can
not get cars.

Slot Machines Driving MutuIated Coin
Out of Circulation,
1.-THE telephone slot machines are
doing an enormous work in the mat
ter of taking WORKOUT dimes ont of
circulation" said treasury official to
Star reporter. There is nothing to
prevent WORKOUT, mutilated and al
most smooth dimes from being put
into the slots, and as a result many
persons keep the WORKOUT dimes for
that particular purpose. Many drug
gists and others who keep public tele-
phones make no objection to taking
mutilated dimes any more for the rea-
son that they keep a supply on hand
to do telephone business with. When
they see that a telephone user is going
to put a new dime in the slot they
simply take it in and hand a worn
out dime in exchange. OF course the
telephone user makes no objection
and in goes the worn-out or mutilated
coin. After it gets in there the tele-
phone companies do the rest. Every
time they get quantity on hand, for
the government does not care to bother
with sums of less than 500, they send
them to a sub-treasury and in Wash
ington to the treasury department di-
rest for redemption. The result is that
through the telephone companies alone
over 81 600 worth of mutilated or
worn-out dimes are redeemed each
week. Business people have already
begun to notice that the great major
ity of the dimes now in circulation are
in much better condition than they
were even six months ago. In a lesser
degree the redemption of great guam
tity of quarters and halves is effected
through the long-distance telephones. -

MINERAL TREASURES.

Stores of Wealth Recently Discovered in
Ancient Palestine.
Consular Agent Harris at Eiben-
stock recently made a report to the
state department in regard to the
mineral treasures of Palestine, based
on a communication from a German
mining engineer in Palestine. "Valu-
able mineral treasures" says the re-
port, "have recently been discovered
in Palestine, so it is safe to say that
the industrial awakening of the Holy
Land is no longer a dream. 1t is true
that the greater part of the once -four
ishing country is barren desert. The
lines of communication are miser-
able, and traffic is unsafe. aside from
the one railroad from Yafa to Jerusa-
lem. The newly discovered mineral
deposits lie on both sides of the Jor-
dan and the Dead Sea. The salt depos-
its of the Dead Sea could be developed
into an industry. The waters hold
chlormagnesium, brommagnesium and
calisalt. Aside from this there are the
bituminous chalk springs of Nebi
Musa, which contain from 80 to 40 per
cent asphalt The most important OF
all the deposits is phosphate. AS ia
well known, natural calkphosphate,
phosphorite and coprolite are neces-
sary for the production of superphos-
pilates. This latter composition and
sulphur form the most important in
gradients in the preparation of arti-
fetal manure. At present the phos-
plate mines of Florida almost supply
the worlds demand.
"The immense fields of phosphate to
the east and west of the Jordan need
only better means of traffic and COM
munication in order to insure their
development. This, it would seem, ID
not far distant, as the Turkish govern
ment is planning a continuation OF

WHY WE LEAD ENGLAND.

Illustration Afforded by Differences In
Treatment of Locomotives.
Nothing perhaps better illustrates
the difference between British and
American methods in the present year
OF grace than the satisfaction of the
Great Northern Railway company of
England that one of their locomotives.
built in 1870, has completed 1000 900
miles. THIS is a record, says the com
pany, thing to be proud of, because
1t shows that our engines are made
to last and are not shoddy." But the
American view is quite different. This
record, says the superintendent of mo-
tive power of one of our great trunk
lines, lis far beyond anything we can
show, and l may add, is ahead of any
thing we intend shall be shown by any
OF our engines. If we kept an engine
in service thirty years we should think
we were neglecting our duty to the
public. An engine thirty years old is
an antiquated machine. We expect to
get as much work as possible out Of
our locomotives. knowing that when
they are worn out progress will have
produced so many improvements that
it would be no economy to continue
the older engine in service, even if it
could be rebuilt. In England an en-
CINE is petted, and its life prolonged
as much as possible" Herein explains
in a sentence why England no less
than all the rest of the world is suffer-
ing from the stress of American COM
petition. The best is none too good
for us, whether it be in locomotives or
the machinery to make matches; and
the best is the cheapest in the end.
The English are satisfied with a loco
motive thirty years old-a locomotive
which has been patched, and tinkered,
and 'petted' is uneconomical
because it wastes fuel and is lacking
in power. Thirty years ago it was,
perhaps, the best machine of it's class,
but machinery, unlike wine, does not
improve with age. The American rail-
way manager knows that it is cheaper
to build than to patch; that after an
engine has lived its life it is economy
to send it to the scrap heap and buy
a newer, better, and more powerful
machine, which consumes less fuel and
requires fewer repairs. The English
man may know that his engine is not
up to date, and growls at the bad ser
vice of his railway company, and, hav-
ing growled, and probably written to
the Times about it, he puts up with all
the shortcomings. The American does
something more than growl; he de-
mands the highest perfection, and I'M
lessit is furnished to him he patronizes
rival. Competition in the United
States is so keen that to hold the trade
the best service and latest improve
ments are given to the public, and the
British public is now getting the bene-
fit of American methods.-The OBJ
