SOMEWHAT BETTER.
Freight Situation Is Grad ually Clear
ing Up at Z. C.

Kansas City, Aug. 24-In the last
few days the local freight situation has
cleared wonderfully and if the present
rate of car movement is kept up the
yards will be in a nearly normal condi-
ton by the last of this week.
The party of Milwaukee officials that
has been here for several days. assist
ing in the work of clearing the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St Paul yards, left last
night for headquarters, satisfied thas
the worst is over, and that the road
would be able to handle all Kansas City
freight promptly hereafter. In the two
days that the officials were here more
than 1000 cars of freight left the Mil
waukee yards. Some of it had been
piled I'D for several weeks and the
clearing of the tracks of this road is
one of the best indications possible that
the worst of the congestion is over.
There is still much freight in the yards,
but affairs are now in such shape that
no more trouble is feared. Many extra
freight trains have been made up and
sent out since Thursday.
The Missouri Pacific officials here
stated yesterday that the company's
yards were in fair shape and that all
freight was being handled promptly.
The yard crews have been working
hard under the direction of the Off
Gals in getting out extras and doing
all In their power to prevent any tieup
of the local tracks. New sidings and
tracks are being thrown open for use
daily and by SeDtember l the greater
part of the new track will be finished.
The Chicago & Alton is working hard
to prevent any congestion in the yards,
and while there is much freight still
to be moved before they will be in a
normal condition, the road is accepting
freight for immediate delivery and is
rushing the work in every way possible.
The Santa Fe during the last few
days that the new embargo has been
in effect has brought in over 500 cars
OF grain for Kansas City, and there has
been little apparent loss caused by the
resembling of the open door policy. The
embargo which was placed in effect last
Thursday will expire Tuesday unless
again renewed and the road will again
accept shipments for this market

been up the river with the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians No. II and their
guests from Pittsburg on their annual
outing.
On the return trip, when approach
ing this place, it was discovered that
the vessel was rapidly filling with water
and Captain Klein, without letting his
passengers knows of the condition, or
dered the pilot to head for the wharf.
This was quickly done, and when the
boat was within 25 feet of shore she
sank in about six feet of water.
The excursionists were all taken off
without fatalities by means of skiffs
and barges. When the boat sank the
lower deck was covered with water to
a depth of about six inches Women
and children became panic-stricken,
and there were many narrow ESCAPES
from drowning during the transfer
from boat to shore

In regard to both motive power and
car capacity, the percentage of increase
is greater than that given above, be
cause some of the roads only returned
the increase in number of locomotives

ment The persistent work at grade re-
auctions and track Strengthening during
the year has also an important bearing
on the handling of a larger volume of
traffic.
In addition to reporting a large In
crease in it's motive power, one of the
largest systems reports a gain of 10 per
cent in efficient motive power by the re-
newal of old equipment. One road re-
ports: I'VE do not apprehend any short

It is safe, therefore, to say that there

while loading and unloading.

breeds TO a greater or lesser de-
gree, aud a man need not leave
that breed to which he is attached
to find his ideal. Each breeder
OF pure-breds may think he has
the type closest tothe general pur-
pose hog. He has that right.
However Il he does not do all in

that will affect his pocketbock by
purchasing their new brood else

Technically speaking, he IS, at
present; wide and short of head,
deep of heart and sides, broad Of
back, with 5 soft coat and just
enough bone to carry him to mar
kst. The tendency TO excessive
bone has not always been found
conclusive to easy feeding, early
maturing qualities. Enough is
enough. His disposition must be
quiet. He must be ever ready to
make friends with his muster. and
his general character should be iu-
delicate the easy feeder. He
should be practically fat aud ready
for market at any period in his life
and finished at 9 months, when he
should weigh not less than 500
pounds. This is not a high mark
to shoot at.
Why do we want the esrly-ma-
turing kindf Because the FIRST
part of a hogs life is the period Of
rapid growth. Henry shows (page
53s) in his Feeds and Feeding
that a pig gains IS per cent grow
tn the first week of its life, but
gradually drops his per cent gain
till, say the tenth week, when il
makes but 81 per cent per week.
