Railroad History,

In 1929, when Robert Stephenson's
engine the Rocket gained the
prize for power and speed awarded
by the directors of an English Rail
way, the opinion was unanimous
that the summit of engineering skill
had been reached. This engine
weighed a tritie over four tons and
with two carriages weighing nearly
ten tons, an average speed of fourteen
miles an hour was attained.
A wonderful development is in
evidence at the present day as dem
onstrated by the monster engines of
the North Western Line-massive.

ments that have occurred. He
said: I'm the establishment OF
the new law that is 0: SO much
vital interest to so great a
number of people, involving,
as it does, a question, and a
most important one, to every
person interested in the problem
of live stock feed and it's use: as
in the case of establishing almost
every new law involving the
routine custom affairs, but
mostly so in this case, there is
a certain amount of resolution of
custom that results, and like
tie organization of any large
institution and the perfection OF
a given line of work involving a
great number of details, the
task of formulating preliminary
arrangements has been very
arduOus. But the work has
been very well done and we
have the initial stage of the
establishment of law we'll in
hand. The most disagreeable
stage of the laws requirements
has passed; l mean the working
off of the surplus stock on hand
in the Thousand and one places
where feedstuffs are found
throughout Louisiana. In every
instance where such cases were
found, the dealers were required
to comply with the law, but as
nearly a month has elapsed since
the law became effective, I feel
quite sure that most of this class
of goods has been disposed of.
State inspectors throughout
Louisiana are constantly on the
alert for all shipments over
which our laws have Jurisdiction,
and we have established here in
Louisiana one of the most COM
plete systems for the inspection
and analysis of commercial ferti-
lizers, feedstuffs and Paris green
to be found anywhere. An &C.
count of each and every con-
signment is kept and the files
and records are so arranged as
to insure a correct account of
each and every consignment
made by a registered manu-
facturer, dealer or broker, to a
point in this State. The duties
devolving upon this branch of
the State government are very
important, as by an inactive and
lax inspection system the legiti-
mate manufacturers and dealers
who comply with the State laws
might very easily be placed at a
material disadvantage by the
INSCRIPTIONS in trade competi.
ton. So you see, the import OF
our work is dOubly significant,
tor it protects the Legitimate
manufacturer by definitely es'
tablishing the standards of all
goods marketed, at the same
time accomplishing what the
original trainers of the law in
tended, protecting the consumer
against fraud. It will not be
long before our efforts will reach
the entire and complete limits OF
the whole field, and when we
have successfully accomplished
this the new law will then be
established"
