By the 1st of next January the Lake
Shore road from Buffalo to Erie will be
completely blocked with automatic cleo
trio signals. AS rapidly as possible the
signals will be extended over other
parts of the system, and it will not be
long until there will be automatic or
manual signals from New York to Chi
cago. Other trunk lines are doing the
same work. The railroad officials of the
country are fully alive to the necessity
which exists for experimenting their

ever paid for similar rights on any

No More 5000 Mile Books.

The proposition of the commercial
travellers for a 5000 mile Intentional
mileage book has been turned down by
the Central Passenger association. The
association had once issued a 5000 mile
market on September 1, 1908. The last
issued was good for transportation up
to September 1 last. The fund which
provided for this book was all cleaned
up, with the exception of S215, which
remained in the hands of the mileage
bureau. This amount has been divided

Big orders for Steel for Bridges.

During the past week orders have
been placed by railroads for 10000
tons of steel for bridges. Western
roads, including the Santa Fe, Illinois

Pacific, ordered about / s, 900 tons. The
western roads have placed but few
orders for steel rails beyond the num-
Der actually required for replace

price will be made. So far no sign
has been made by the steel trust to-

There lies the great value of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
is a poison, and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease. 1t is this fact
that gives Liquozone its worth to hu-
manity. And that worth is so great
that we have spent over one million
dollars to supply the first bottle free to
each sick one we learned of.

Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.
MAKE A COMBINATION.

The rumor that the Union Pacific has
bought the Great Western recurs with
such persistency that in a great many
sources it is given credence. It seems
certain that some move is on in Great
Western stock, and one report is that
the knowledge that the UniQn Pacific
has secured or will secure control of
that road is responsible for the North
Westerns decision to press on toward
the coast.
Few systems east of the river would
round out the Hartman. combination
of roads so nicely as the Great West
ern. 1t is not the short line in several
instances, but it is a short line. The
following table of comparative dis
tances is interesting:
Omaha to Chicago: Great Western,
40 miles; Rock Island, SOB miles; North
western, 1872 miles; Burlington, eos
miles.
Kansas City to Chicago: Great West
ern, 597 miles; Rock Island, 517 miles;
Alton, 4S9 miles.
Omaha to Minneapolis: Northwestern,
S91 miles; Great Western, 357 miles.
Chicago to Minneapolis: Great West
eron, 430 miles; Northwestern, 412 miles;
Burlington, 442 miles.
The Union Pacific connects with the
Great Western at Kansas City and
Chicago. 1t is a fairly short line from
Kansas City to Chicago, and z short
take the eastbound traffic of the Harri-
man line, furnishing the Union Pacific
an independent connection with eastern
roads.
Chicago Chronicles market gossip:
Chicago interests connected with Union
Pacific assert that the latter has pur-
chased the control of the Chicago Great
Western. For two months both Union
Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern
have been seeking the property and
this week President Strickney con-
scented to lay before the directory a
proposition from the Northwestern.
The fight for the Great Western is but
another phase of the disturbance of the
community interest, which has forced
the Northwestern to extend its lines
toward the Pacific. 1t is said that a
new harmOniZing proposition has been
made by which Northern Pacific takes
Burlington, Great Northern ties up
with st. Paul, Northwestern goes to
the coast and Union Pacific takes the
Great Western and shares in Burling
ton. The purchase reported yesterday
by Union Pacific is said to be in pur-
suance to a new community of inter-
ests.

Searching for Treasure.

A number of Mexicans with teams
plows and scrapers are excavatlng
near Westphalia, claiming to have in
their possession maps and charts show,
ing treasure to be buried there to the
amount of 100000 in Mexican doub.
looms.
They say that the treasure is buried
near what is known as the Bull tank,
and have agreed TO pay the owners
Of the land on which they are at work
certain per cent of the find for the
privilege of eXcavating. This treasure
Is said to have been buried during the
Texas and Mexican war. 1t is said a
tradition has existed that a large sum
in Mexican doubloOns was buried
somewhere on the banks of Pond
Creek and another that there was
treasure of considerable amount in
Mexican money buried at some point
along the bank of the Brazos River,
near Marlin.
Many excavations have been made
to locate the buried treasure, both on
Pond Greek and the Brazos River.
These efforts were not only made by
home people, but strangers have gone
in and excayated, among whom were
Mexicans. A few years ago It was no
uncommon thing to see deep holes dug
along the banks Of these streams, pre-
sumably by parties in search of the
lost treasure, but If any money has
ever been found in this manner the
fact is not known.

RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIES.
American Cities Must Be Rebuilt In
This Generation.

American Cities Must Be Rebuilt In
This Generation.
The urban population Of the cont
mental United States is now about 26,-
100000 and the population outside of
cities of 10000 inhabitants and over is
about 100000. This urban popula-
ton, also, is increasing at much more
rapid rate than the other. The esti-
mate of the census bureau is that the
total increase between 1900 and 1903
nearly a half was in these towns,
Moreover, improved methods Of trans
portation and communication are now
extending the suburban area more rap
idly than ever before and making it ur-
ban in respect of the density of popu-
lation.
We instance these statistics to bring
them in association with other statis-
tics, gathered by the Insurance Engi-
neering Magazine for the purpose Of
showing how combustible are our
American cities. From this point Of
view of the insurance people this is a
matter of very grave importance, for,
as that authority says, ''the United
States has an annual bill to pay for
property destroyed by fire ranging
from $150,O00, 900 to $200O0O,000' and
this loss is largely due TO the COM
bustibility of wooden buildings.
In Chicago, for example, more than
half of the buildings are of frame
construction. In Newark, town with
population of nearly quarter of a
million in 1900, two-thirds of the build
ings are frame. Even in Boston the
frame buildings are more than two
thirds Of the whole. In San Francisco
more than nine-tenths are frame. That
magazine gives list Of about seventy
towns in which frame constructi0npr pre-
dominates so greatly that, to use its
words, they have "klndling wood
look" The same remark might be
made of about all the 43S towns emu
merated in the census bureaus coh-
putation of the urban population. In
Boston and Chicago the conditions, as
this expert authority points out, are
favorable to a repetition Of the great
confagration from which those towns
have once suffered
Now what does this imply2 1t i'm
plies that at least all our more con-
siderable American cities have got to
go through the process of reconstruc-
ton which has gone on in New York
for SO many years, and would now be
proceeding at a rate more rapid than
ever if it had not been checked by
building strikes.
Architects, builders, stone masons,
iron workers and dealers in materials
for iron, stone and brick construction
have a great future before them in this
country, for practically all our large
towns will have to be rebuilt during
the next generation, or at least In the
next half century.-New York Sun.

The teacher, preacher, lawyer or doc

ures. And there are the boys and
girls with strong, healthy bodies,
minds and hearts developed in bright
sunshine and pure air, amid the won
drous beauty of forest and field. The
city with its ceaseless noise and din,
its turmoil and strife, has naught to
compare with these lads and lassies

proved roads, the electric car, the tele-
phone, and rural mail delivery, have
brought to the country the advantages
of the city without its temptations, its

or position, to reap tomorrow what
they SOW to-day. This Is not the true,
rational philosophy of human life. Ma

er works in accord with her plans.
But how can we make farm life more
attractive! BY magnffying our call

by taking frequent recreation. Let
the farmer study his calling, fit him

doctor, lawyer, merchant or priest
