Lots Of Work.

Superintendent White of the
State Free employment Bureau,
in an interview with n st Louis re-
porter yesterday said.
We want men and lots of them.
! W. saw such n demand for com
mon labor. Here Is n letter from n
large contractor offering SO a day
for n number-hc does not state
just how many OF, unskillcd men
10 engage In construction work. II
Is so all along the line. There IL no
lack OF employment anywhere.
"A0 for house servants, we can
not supply the demand. Every day
we are rcccivcing dozen letters Of
inquiry from people who need cook
or houscmaids, but comparatively
few applicants forthat employment
This Is rather odd just at this seas
on when so many households are
shutting for the summer
With male help the case Is differ
ent. The farmers have drawn much
of the supply for the harvesting
of the large crops this year, and
after n few months II IL reasonable
to suppose that there may bc n
return current, bringing laborcrs
back to the city. However, no hon-
est man or woman need complain
today of want OF opportunity to
work. jefferson City Republican.

Short Sermons Popular.

The short sermon delivered by
clergymen today are popular.
This does not signify that church
people are less devoted to the
cause of religion now that they
were in vogue. 1t means that the
church is keeping abreast OF the
times. Men and women never
were SO busy as they are now.
The rich toll to increas their wealth
The poor put in over time to
make a living. The world Is in
a rush. and people cannot take
the time for long speeches, long
newspaper articles ar long SER
mons.
Ministers OF the gospel ar quick
to grasNhe situation. Instead of
the sermon of from an hour to an
hour and n half, as In the old days
VIC now have a half hour talk
which is helpful In many ways to
the congregation. A preacher
who knows the wants of his peo-
pie a put much food for thought
into n discourse of thirty minutes,
aud IT is done every Sunday. The
people enjoy these sermons and
are benefited by them. The mu-
steal numbers which prcccdc and
follow the short m finish out
nm hour most probably spent by
by those who participate in the
service.
II took the world a long time to
realize that "hrcvity is the soul OF
wit" Now this adage Is not
quoted In vain. The brightest
paragraphs arc the shortest.
The speeches which count for
anything are those which contain
n great many though gems In a
few words. The sermons which
convey to the mind the simple
rules of right living ~ taught by
the savior Of observation-disclosures

Road Has Been Prosperous During
the Past Year.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad
has raised the semiannual dividend or
its common stock from per cent to 2la
per cent. The company has had quite
a noteworthy record of prosperity Pay
ments on the common shares We're begun
in July of last year after the preferred
shares had foc the first time received
the full per cent to which their prefer
ence entities them. Since then the bust
ness of the company has been steadily in
cfeasing and its revenues expanding, and
after making two semiannual payments
of per cent each, the rate
has been advanced to pc per
cent. The Financial Chronicle
reviewed the company'S annual report
in the issue of Nov. 2, and showed that
net for 190O-19O1 had been s., 426,S19, against
$1,262 500 for 1S99-1900 $1,061, S99 for 1S9S-S99
$3.50 959 for 1S97-1S9S and $S74.7SS for 1886
1897. After allowing for fixed charges
and the per cent dividends on the pre-
ferred shares, there remained a surplus
of 1858, 766 on the operations of the
late twelve months, equal to nearly 6
per cent on the $6,G00,000 Of common stock
outstanding, while payments, as already
stated were at the rate of only per
cent per annum. In the current fiscal
year to date earnings have been further
improving, and for the four months to
October 81 the net for 1901 is $40, 665,
$491, g14 for the corresponding four
months of 1900.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT CROP.
northwestern Roads Will Not Bid
for the Business This Year.

Northwestern Roads Will Not Bid
for the Business This Year.
TranScontinental railroad lines are pre-
pairing to handle the largest crop of Cali
fornia fruit this season in the history
of that industry. Last year was the BAN
ner one, but the shipments this year are
expected to reach far beyond those of
any other season. The number of cars
is estimated as high as $1,000, and it is
possible there will be more. Eighty per
cent of this is oranges, the remainder
lemons, which constitute a branch of
the business that has experienced
marvellous growth recently.
Last year the losses were enormous
because the transportation companies
could not handle the output. 1t was an
experience which has kept the Santa Fe,
which is one of the three roads enter
ing the fruit district, busy for many
months getting ready for this seasons
crop. 1t is believed that all the lines
are accordingly prepared for any emer-
gency that may come. The trouble then
was the lack of motive power and equip
ment The fruit lay on the ground and
rotted because the railroads could not
get it hauled away. There had been
heavy demands on the locomotives and
the number was not sufficient for what
was required of them.
An effort was made last year to secure
this traffic via Northwestern lines, but
it was found that it was too expensive to
be worth going after.

WILL FIGHT THE LAW
RAILROADS OBJECT TO BUILDING
TRACKS on PRIVATE
GROUND
COURTS TO DECIDE THE MATTER
milwaukee and North Western Give
Notice That They Will Not
Obey Minnesota COM
missions Order.


Has the state the right to compel rail-
road company to build a side track on
private land adjacent to the right of way
of the ROAD? Is a question that will prob
ably be decided in the courts as the at
torneys of the North Western and the
Milwaukee roads have notified the rail-
road commission that they will refuse to
build certain tracks ordered by the com,
mission.
The Northwestern, it IS understood,
will refuse to build the track at WabasSo
ordered by the commission recently, and
the Milwaukee will take similar stand
in the Bird Island matter. The commits
sion has the petition of a mill owner at
Bird Island under consideration in the
latter case.
The law compelling the roads to build
to mills, elevators, etc, on land adjacent
to the right of way was enacted in 1888,
and T. w. Root, attorney for the Milwaur
kee, claims that the law is unconstitl-
tional inasmuch as the state has no right
to order a railroad company to build q
track on a private piece of property.
The roads have been trying TO avoid the
law for the past eight years, but have
not been anxious TO carry the matter into
the courts, for they knew that if YER
dict was handed down against them they
would be flooded with applications for
side tracks. Inc companies Ho"eVel'
have come to the conclusion that they
can beat the law and will make fight
accordingly.
1t has been suggested that a law be
enacted compelling the railroad COM
panies to build a stretch of track in towns
where there are industries, such as ele-
vators, -four mills. lumber mills, ETC., and
