-FOUR MILLION sHoRTcAKEss.
Strawberries to Make Them Moved by
Frisco Last Month

Fort Scott, Kan. June 6.@The
strawberry season is about at an end.
This years southern crop proved to
be about twenty per cent less than
last years, according to the figures OBJ
tanned from Chief Dispatcher Charles,
of the Frisco system. During last
month the Frisco moved 537 cars of
Strawberries from Arkansas to north
ern points. There are 500 crates in a
car and twenty-four boxes in a crate.
This would make s.251, 200 boxes of
berries handled by the company dur
ing the month. Figuring two
boxes of berries to one good
sized shortcake the number of short
cakes represented in the 5s7 cars of
berries would be over 100000. To
move these berries was no small job.
According to further figures obtained
from Mr.. Charles, the average speed
OF the trains was thirty-two miles an
hour.
In addition to the Strawberries
moved during the month the same
pany moved 466 cars OF bananas and
$50 cars of stock. This is a good
showing for the company.

DANGER OF A FLOOD.

Platte county bottoms and will mum

ported to be stationary last evening.
No decline had been marked during
the day, and it was thought that
flood in the bottoms would not be i'm

will in this event depend largely upon

the currents and the way the road

LAST CONTRACT AWARDED.
Grant Bros. VIII Finish Grade for
ReIen CITfOff

BeIen Cutoff.
Albuquerque. N NJ, June 6.-The
contract for the grading of the last
section of the Santa FEES Belen cutoff
has been let to the Grant Bros. Con-
struction company, of Los Angeles.
This is the grade from Belen to Rio
Puerco, which will connect the East
ern Railway of New Mexico, the off,
cial title of the cutoff. with the coast
lines.
The contract, which calls for p
miles of grade. with all bridges, cul-
verts, concrete and other work-in
fact for the line complete. save for
the rails-is to be carried out within
nine months, and the construction
work IS to begin at once. Mr.. J. A.
Burton, one of the Grant Bros COM
pany, arrived in Albuquerque last
night from Belen, where he has been
making arrangements for the begin
ming of grading. Within a week four
hundred men and a large number of
teams will be sat- work. The team
work will be done first and then the
steam shovel work will begin. This
section of the cutoff will be almost
entirely steam shovel work. Like the
rest of the cutoff line, this section is
to be built to stay, all of the bridges
being of steel or concrete. or both, no
wood being used. It is expected that
the rest of the cutoff will have been
completed and opened to traffic by
the time the Rio Puerco end is done,
so that nine months from now, when
this last % miles will be complete,
will probably mark the opening of the
line for the transcontinental busine
