MOSQUITOES TIE
UP RAILROAD WORK

GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 5.-Mos-
quitoes on one of the Southern Texas
roads have caused the temporary sus-
pension of train service. The problem
has become one of the most trying of
any that now confronts the officials of
the Texas and New Orleans on the
Sabine and East Texas divisions, The
pest has become so bad that the line
from Beaumont to Sabine has been
shut down for the present.
The section men on the larger portion
have for some time been unable to per-
form their duties, although they have
clothed themselves in wells and have
worn gloves. The station agents and
other officials on the larger portion
have moved their families to Beaumont
in order to escape the pest.
Officials at headquarters refused to
believe the reports sent them by the
section men and others and yesterday
went to the scene in a special train
to investigate for themselves. They
beat a hasty retreat when they got into
the swamps.

The most encouraging developments
OF the week are the widening demand

fidence that bottom prices, except pos
sibly for rails, have been reached. and
that stocks have touched lowest limits
The volume of steel tonnage moving has
steadily but slowly increased.
Plethora of Money.
Other features are the fading of war
New York and az Western centers, and
the highest prices for wheat since 1898,
due to increased milling demand for
home and foreign requirements and

cago. Other advances in prices were
for corn. oats. print cloths, cotton.

The miners union want 10 per cent
higher wages for picked coal and more
than that for machine mined Bitumi-

must be given less work, In other words.
