TRUTH
Of Part Of the
Report
Of Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Denied by Local Railway
Officials.
Not Believed Here That Railway
Men Are Careless.

A part of the last report Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, which
was recently made public at Washing
ton, has the following to say with
reference to the handling OF freight
cars:
Railroad officials complain frequent
ly of rough handling of cars in the
yards. With the general use OF au-
tomato couplcrs, relieving the men
Of the necessity of going between
cars about to come together, 1t has
become possible to quicken the work
Of switching by moving the cars
much faster than formerly, and tax
ing less care to properly graduate the
speed of one car or Il draft of cars,
as 1t approaches another. This con
dition Is regrettable, not only on ac-
count of damage to the cars, but be-
cause 1t produces an element of dan
ger to the men.
The breakage of timber or the
loosening of holt or other fastening
may not be discovered until Ii has
caused n dcrailment while running on
the road ut high speed. The remedy
for this fault lies chiefly in greater
discipline of the men while handling
cars,
Local railway officials, when spoken
to In the matter, Monday morning,
were Of the belief that this picture
had been slightly overdrawn. j, j.

The glacial period extended over a long
series of years. Practically ell OF the

billions of tone Of ice. The ice was from

came much thinner. The ice followed the
course of the missouri river from its
source down to APPOINT north of Leaven-
worth, when tt spread out as far as To-

and receding to the Missouri river at a
point about where Jefferson City Is 10
