The merchant who thinks he
can get along' without the local
newspaper, is right. He can
also get along without sugar in
his coffee, paint on his house, or
clothes on his back. That is, he
can exist. But if he will devote
a little careful study to the sub
ject of getting along" with the
local newspaper, he will find it
the greatest assistant he has
ever employed at any price. The
subject, however, like any other,
should be studied. Don't imag-
inc that any kind of rubbish
about your business, that you
choose to put in your paper, will
of necessity repay the cost. The

Patent Car Couplers.

Since the passage by Congress Of the law
requiring all railroads engaged in interstate
commerce to equip their trains with safety
couplers there has been steady and earn
est effort on the part of the roads to comply
with the requirements of the law. In this,
aside from the heavy expense involved, the
roads have been handicapped by the difficult
ty in finding reliable apparatus. There
are about fifty devices to choose from of the
so-called master car builders type, and
much experimenting has been done with
these in the past twenty years, but it is
safe to say that not one has given complete
satisfaction. Many of the devices have been
used at considerable loss to the roads adopt
ing them. While some have been measure
bly, satisfactory, others have been practical
failures - altogether unreliable - and this
style of coupler has been condemned by a
number of switchmen's conventions In the
past ten years. In the meantime many
changes and Improvements have been made
in the devices. but the perfect device seems
to be still Whiting. For the coupler invent
ed by A. r. Heath, of Covington. Ind, many
claims are set up. not only with regard to
safety and reliability, but to cost and
durability. 1t is claimed that ii will couple
forty cars with certainty by first impact,
whether moving rapidly slowly, while
the older devices couple only by hand i'm
pact and then may require several efforts.
While the M. G. y. uncouples from only one
side of the car, the Heath uncouples from
side OF top. 1t is claimed that it will pull
a weight of 10000 pounds without breaking,
while the NJ. &. b. is liable to break at
$4,000. Mr.. Heath makes many other claims
for the superiority of his invention wheth-
his device possesses all the merit he
claims for it or not only a thorough test
can determine. 1t is. however, a reflection
upon the boa sted inventive genius of Amer
lean mechanics that a thoroughly safe, re-
liable and durable automatic coupler has
not long since made it's appearance and
claims to be.

There are a number of things In Wall
street that we of the lamb district are not
expected to understand, and in this we do
not disappoint. One Of them Is just how
it comes about that, when prices of stocks
are falling then there enormous
sales" while when stocks are rising rap
idly there is enormous buying" To the
inexperienced and on-looking lamb 1T seems
as if there must be just as many purchases
when there are so many sales. and that
there must be just as many sales when
there are so many purchases. That's where
being a lamb comes in. Another detail of
the street that needs explanation before
the back country can fully take it In is
as to how these enthusiastic articles, de-
signed to show the expanded interest in
securities, can be hitched together. We
read with interest that one effect of the
recent depression in prices has been most
encouraging. The old holders of stocks in
the great corporations have taken the ia
vorable opportunity to increase largely
their own holdings. while the outsiders
have come in In large numbers and hun
dreds Of new people have bought from ten
to twenty-five shares each. so that the roll
of stockholders is increased very largely.
This is real nice and full of good omen,
but whose stock have these inside holders
and welcome outsiders been buying, If the
old stockholders were at the same time
Increasing their own holdings? That's the
difficult question; and ii is hurrah para
graphs of that sort that make skeptical the
all hut ready lamb

The Chicago Record-Herald to-day says:
"A movement is on foot by the railroads
of the entire country to bring about a
general advance in freight rates. the gen.
eral reason being the big increase in the
wages of all classes of labor and in the
price of all materials used by the rail-
roads. similar advance was made one
year ago for the same reasons and went
into effect Jan. l last. At that time ship
pers generally protested and 1T is under
stood that the various manufacturing and
Industrial associations will combine to pre-
vent further advance. The trunk line asso-
Citations are said to be planning for a gen.
eral increase in rates amounting to about
10 per cent, to become effective Jan. l
next. Railroad officials say that with the
present prices decreases in net revenues
cannot be prevented unless freight rates
are advanced"

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
STATEMENT IN REGARD TO SEA-
BOARD AIRLINE CHANGES.
Increased Use of Patent Car COuplers
Under the Federal statute-Per-
sOnaI and General Notes.

After the meeting of the Seaboard Air
line committee in New York on Thursday
the following statement was given out:
The change of the personnel of the voting
trustees of the stock Of the Seaboard Air
line does not mean the purchase of the prop
erty by the Rock Island or Frisco interests,
although the Frisco lines extend into Bir-
mingham, and they are a part of the South
ern situation. 1t does, however, further
emphasize the fact that all the great rail-
way systems are carrying out the policy of
more closely cementing the railroad trans
portation interests of the country, which
will greatly retard and, 1t is hoped, entirely
prevent Generalization Of the rate situation,
or unnecessary construction or duplication
of property.
Attention is also called to the fact that
with the discontinuance of any further con-
structiOn by the Seaboard Airline the val
ues of the property in that section are great
ly enhanced. Another gratifying fact at
this time, and which Is further evidence of
the disposition of the railroads. is that this
transaction does not call for any financing
or supplying of new money!
If the statement that the Vanderbilt in
terestS have become closely interested in
the Seaboard is true it will prove one of the
most powerful railroad alliances ever Gre
ated. The Seaboard operates more than g. 600
miles OF road.
