FAMINE IN FREIGHT CARS.
Instant Need For 10000 Cars in This
Country.

News kilograms from one point and
another emphasize the fact that the
country's most remarkable famine of
these days is not in things to eat or to
burn, though it is eontributory to local
shortages in both fuel and food This
is a famine in freight cars and locomo-
tives. Its effects reach across the whole
country, though they bring the hardest
experiences to the west and southwest.
Freight cars have increased in num-
Der in the last eight years from 1,22S.-
ISL to nearly 1,5OO, 600 The increase III
carrying capacity is much greater than
these figures show, for while the cars OF
1894 would rarely take over 10000 pounds
and never over &c. 0O0 those of 1901 run
as high as 100000 pounds, and among
the cars in use today those carrying at
least 10000 to $4,000 are the prevailing
number. In 1894 there We're 36,304 loco
motives; now there are about 100000 and
from machines seldom weighing over 60
tons we have come to engines rarely
falling below 135 tons. Some monsters
weigh 200 tons.
But mileage and tonnage in the
freight business have more than kept
pace with carriage capacity. In 1894
the cars shifted G74.714,474 tons of goods
and produce. In 1901 the tonnage was
1,0S4. 066. 451. The estimate for 1902 is l.
loo. 00O. 600 tons. Traffic at the moment
calls for 10000 more cars than are avail
able and the demand is increasing

NEW p1sTRIor CREATED.
Train Service Announced for Santa
Fe's Quay Branch.

Tomorrow the Santa Fe will adopt a
new amendment to Its time card. The
supplement was issued yesterday, and
affects only the Oklahoma division of
the road.
The change made is the announcement
of an entirely new district or branch
line, to be known as the Quay districts
The Quay branch has Just been COM
pleted in Oklahoma by the contractors
and turned over to the railway COM
pany 1t consists of 81 miles of road
from Quay to Avery, passing through
the towns OK Norfolk and Cushing
There will be one train day each
way, Sundays excepted, on the new line.
The trains are mixed passenger and
freight. The train leaves Quay at S:15
a. m. and arrives at Avery at g. So a. M
For the return trip there are two trains
No 416 runs out of Avery at 1915 a. ms
and reaches Gushing al 10:40 a. m. An
other train, No Ala, leaves Gushing at
a. m. and arrives at Quay at 1850
This is apparently not a very good train
arrangement. but it will no doubt be
rectified when the needs of the new line
become recognized.
