The July report includes a number OF
leading systems United States roads
embracing 66,145 miles. and the total
gross earnings are $65, ,664, ,S46, a gain of
1876 per cent over the corresponding
month last year.
This is a better showing than for any
month since February, and If the ex-
ceptional conditions existing in the
winter could be allowed for, probably
the July report would be the best of the
year.
There are substantial gains on nearly
all classes of roads, notably the central
western roads and in the south and
southwest. while the two Pacific sys-
TENS, including Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, report an increase of
nearly 25 per cent. On the eastern
trunk lines now reporting. New York
Central and Baltimore & Ohio earn
ings are 1915 per cent larger than in
July last year, showing a good increase
in traffic. The July statement is

Orders Thousand Steel Cars

The new steel passenger car has
proved such a success that the Penn
sylvania has ordered 1000 new steel cars
and 500 steel Pullman coaches, which
will be also non -combustible and non
collapsible. The new steel car weighs
103,550 pounds, against $4,000 pounds for
the standard wooden coach. but it is
found that the added weight greatly re-
duces the vibration and adds to the
comfort of the passengers All the new
steel cars will be lighted by electricity.

in heavy metal conduits, thus adding

motive orders placed by the Burlington.
In addition to the thirty immense pas
senger engines recently received by the
Burlington from the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works, 100 freight engines of the
prairie type are now being delivered.
Fifty were furnished by the Baldwin
Locomotive works and fifty are being
built by the American Locomotive
works. The order is one of the largest
ever given by any railroad. For freight
service the new engines are extremely
speedy, as they are designed for hand
ing fast freight and stock trains
through the middle western states.

EXPECT NOTED EvANGELIsTS
Methodsts May Invite Torrey and
Alexander to Conduct Services
in Los Angeles

Methodist ministers will open the
fall work with the first meeting of the
Ministers association for the season
Monday morning at the First Methodist
church. Plans are being made for the
winter campaign to follow the annual
conference which will be held the lat
ter part of September in Riverside.
1t is expected that Evangeists Torrey
and Alexander, the former head of the
Moody school at Chicago. will come
to Los Angeles to hold evangelistic SER
vices under the direction of the church
federation. Should the federation de-
eide not to ask the evangelists to come
here, many of the leading Methodists
would favor inviting them TO address
a series of services in the Methodist
churches.

FREIGHT CARS SCARCE AGAIN
Less Than Half of Steel Rolling Stock
Delivered

Railroads that figured on having their
new cars delivered early this year and
expected to have a. sufficient supply of
cars to handle all traffic find themselves
up against scarcity of cars.
1t is. estimated by railroad officials
tnat less than one-half of the new steel
rreignt cars which were to be delivered
early this year have yet been turned
over to the railroads.
The scarcity of cars applies to the
coal cars as well as those of the usual
run of freight.

Hartman Icing Scheme

From the fact that the Hartman
lines are making inquiries for some
thing like 5000 refrigerator cars and
inquiries as to the cost and methods of
conducting an extensive refrgera ton
service, 1t appears that these lines have
in contemplation the handling of their

instead of the present contractual ar

wall Of Pests.

New Orleans. July 27.--A proposi
lion to use top minnows ia s,agnani
pools In place Of oil TO destroy yel
low fever mosquitoes and prevent
breeding Is advocated by DIR. Qultman
Kohnke. city health officer OF New
Orleans. In an interview he said he
contemplated asking the national gov.
ernment TO establish at New Orleans
breeding pond for top mlnnows. To
be used for stocking stagnant water
about the city. Or. Kohnke said:
TOP minnows are more efficient az
mosquito destroyers than gold fish.
which are reported as ridding water
OF mosquitoes in Hawaii. In stagnant
water believe minnows are better
than the use Of oil. which spreads
over the surface OF the water. Al the
present time In the city's drainage
canal there are sufficient minnows to
destroy all wiggle-tails. which develop
into mosquitoes. Frequently some one
calls attention 10 the importance OF
olling the surface Of the drainage ca
nal This Is absurd on account Of the
fact that minnows In canals do not
breed mosquitoes. Top minnows
breed rapidly. so that II properly han
died the supply can be made almost
inexhaustible."
The city Of New Orleans az present
Is spending $4,000 In the campaign
against the mosquito pest, cutting
down weeds. drying up stagnant wa
ter pools and oiling wherever ponds
do not readily eyaporate.

returned TO live with Hartje when he
asked her 90 20 back home. At this
statement Mrs. Hartje showed more
astonishment than she has exhibited
at any OF the testimony hitherto.
In cross examination a letter which
Ashby had written 20 Mrs. Hartje was
placed In evidence. In Il he told Mrs

Addition to Factory.

A. R. Wien of Milwaukee, presi-
dent of the A. R. Wiens Brush
company, was in the city Monday and
while here informed a representative
of the Republican that it was the
intention of the company as soon as the
weather will permit to begin work on
an addition to the present factory on
First street by adding another story of
brick 25X84 feet to that portion run
ming east and west. The fast in
creasing business of the company
renders more room absolutely neces-
sary to take care of it. Few realize
the immense business that is being
done by this company which promises
to be the largest of it's kind in this
country 1t manufactures 24OO differ
ent kinds of brushes and ships them
all over the world, using material
from Russia, China, Turkey, Arabia,
Germany, Holland and several other
countries. A large force is constantly
employed which will be increased as
fast expert hands can be secured from
the home people, there being an
opportunity for several young men to
learn the trade The addition already
mentioned is for handling brushes
exclusively for creameries.

1t is quite unusual for the publishers

fact, that at large expense a Sim

installed in the Republican office.
About fifty fonts of new job type of
