SOME NEW Laws.

Fisherman and piscatorial experts
are not little interested in some new
laws the past legislature passed.
One referring to fishing on private
property is of considerable importance.
The legislature has put a check
practically upon all fishing under this
head where property owners have
signs displayed warning people from
angling. The new statue provides
that property Owners shall display
signs at least one foot square notify
ing the public that no fishing is al
lowed. Violators of this section will
be treated as harshly as if they rob-
ed astore. For the first viola ton the
offender shall be fined not less than
10 nor more than$50 and may be con-
fined in the county jail not more than
two months. On the second offense
he NAV be required to provide stiff
bond for his good behavior IN the
future. Fisherman say the penalty
is highly excessive. Not that they
say there is no necessity of having
such stiff provision. = Wheeling
News.

ARE FAST DISAPPEARING.
The Old style Modern Cars are Being
Replaced by More Modern one.

Replaced by More Modern one.
The old style Of wooden freight car
is fast being superseded by the MOD
ern steel car. The enormous earnings
Of the railroads during the past few
years have made it possible for near
~ every company to invest in new
equipments and rolling stock. and the
steel car is now the thing. For duri-
bility. carrying capacity and strength
the new steel cars far surpass the old
style wooden cars and every up-to-
date railroad now has thousands OF
steel carriers in its equipment.
To show the remarkable growth OF
the steel Cur industry we use the fol.
lowing interesting facts III reference
to the Pressed Steel Car Company. of
Pittsburg, the pioneer in the steel
car industry:
Upon recapitulation made by the
officials of the Pressed Stee. Car COM
many, OF Pittsburg, il was found that
including the cars built during May,
1901. the total number of cars shipped
since the industry began fonr years
ago is 40, SIS. At the present rate OF
production the COMPANY will build
this year nearly as many cars as have
been constructed since the inception
of the company. During May the
total number built and shipped was
O. 705, an average Of little over one
hundred cars for every working day.
This average has been kept up for
several months and the officials of the
company believe that in the future
the average will be even greater than
1t has been i'll the past, The enorm
Gus output of this company can best
be realized when it is known that IN
addition TO the cars built there is q
large output of holsters. truck frames
center plates. brake beams, etc, and
that in May alone the consumption of
steel amounted to over 40, 900 tons.
With this amount of steel plates and
steel structural material thirteen
steamers 500 feet long, fifty feet beam
fifty feet deep could be constructed.
