RAILROADS AND COAL.

The Railway World furnishes some
interesting statistics of production anc
transportation of coal. Last year if
the United States there We're 290.562,
53S tons of bituminous mined, this be-
ing the output on an invested capita
of $685., 100000, employing 2S5.O0O mer
in $3.50 mines. The center of the I'm
ions population is in Indiana, but tbs
center of coal production is still within
the limits of Pennsylvania. The haulage
is mostly down grade to distributing
points. There are 100000 coal cars In
use, this being one-third of the total
number of freight cars, and the aver
age charge paid for carriage from
mine to destination is about $4!25 a
ton The railways consume fuel worth
$4,000, 900 year, or about 10 cents a
mile per locomotive.
The railway receipts on coal last
year are estimated at $250,0O0,000, or
one-sixth of the entire freight receipts.
The Pennsylvania is said TO haul 65,000,-
900 tons, the Baltimore and Ohio "a
100000, the Norfolk and Western TO-
100000. The average haul is said to
be 300 miles, at four-tenths of a cent
a ton for each mile. The West Virgin
iarailways are almost wholly dependent
on the coal traffic. The Southern
Railway carries much bituninous coal,
but for comparatively short distances,
West of the Mississippi there is much
cial traffic. Colorado, for example, pro-
ducing 100000 tons, Iowa and Kan
sas each over 100000, Wyoming and
Missouri each 100000, the Indian
Territory nearly 100000, and Wash
ington over 2.350,O00. The larger pro-
ducers are Indiana, 100000 tons;
Alabama, 12.1OO,OOO; Ohio. 1S,0OO,O00;
Illinois, 37,1S3,O00; West Virginia, So
100000; and Pennsylvania, 10S,0O0,o0o
tons.
"The great advantage of the coal
traffic to the railways" says the
World, sis that so much can be carried
in single car, and that it is not sub,
ject to deterioration en- route. Modern
steel cars carry SO tons of coal and
have the advantage of being unloaded
rapidly by means of hoppers. The
price of four tenths of cent per ton
per mile, seems low, but in the case of
a car carrying fifty tons the aggregate
is so large as to make the traffic pro-
fitable. The objection is that there is
seldom return freight, SO that the cost
of hauling empties back to the mines
must be added to the cost of moving
coal to market. Apparently, after de-
Quoting the cost of hauling the empty
cars, the railways do not receive more
than three-tenths of cent per mile
per tom"

L Manson Democrat.l


1t is only justice to G. |. Long to
state that the article in last Wednes-
days Des Moines Capital, concerning
the Cunnins business in Manson,
was to say the least, a 'mendacious
Dispatch The word "Cummins" was
never mentioned in the campaign and
was an issue for an instant. The fight
was on purely local and personal lines
and it was a gross injustice to Mr..
Long to send such an untruth to a
state paper. There is some sneak in
Manson who is continually sending out
such truck to some daily paper or to
the Rockwell City Advocate and it IS
sad commentary on supposedly de-
cent journalism to know that those I'M
truths are accepted and published as
truth without even the shadow of in
vestigation.

fleet that the way of the sucker, as
we'll as that of the transgressor, is in
deed hard"
"a. b. Cummins is a naughty man to
campaign for himself" says the Sioux

example of George d. Perkins-line UP
the congressman year or two in ad-
vance, and let it go at that"

An Elephant S Eath.

A man sits on the elephants neck
and guides him into the water. When
the elephant gets well into the water
the man very soon slips off his neck
and makes for the land, for the ele-
plant wants to have bit of sport all
to himself before the men take him in
hand for his MONDAY bath. He is
nearly as bad as the water buffalo
for rolling about in the water.
He begins by sucking in gallons of
water up his trunk, blowing it all
over his body and back and up into
the air, and then he goes in for
swim. blowing the water all about
him like a great whale When the
men think he has had enough fun on
his own account they order him back,
and this huge monster, who could defy
fifty men, turns and swims back at
once, like an obedient child.
Then one man mounts his neck and
scrubs his head-not with soap and
yard Of flannel, but with burnt
brick. The other man sits on his
back and with another brick scrubs
his back and great TANKS Then they
bring him into still shallower water,
about three or four feet deep, and
make him lie on one side, and scrub
every available part of his body with
the bricks; then they tell him to turn
over, and the great beast rolls over
obediently on the other side, and
when that is done they make him
stand up, and scrub his great legs and
his pendulum tail. And, oh! how the
animal enjoys his scrubbing. He
would let them do it all day if they
would.
Then the two mount, one on the
neck and the other fair in the middle
Of the little hump on his back, and let
him go out for a swim Away and
away and away they go; gradually
the elephant sinks deeper and deeper
into the water, till you see nothing
but the top of his great, big round
head, and he blows out water, and
trumpets from his trunk. Elephant
and men are all now having a good
time together. Scottish American.
