This shows the number Of cars han

When II is remembered that during
May of last year number 0f heavy
shipments of goods were made to the
Lewis and Clark fair, and business
was rushing as a consequence, so far
as the Terminal company was con-

for this season can be best appreci-
ated In connection with the extra
business the Terminal company faces
a difficulty in the way of providing
facilities.
Plans were made some time aEp
for building fully 20 miles of new
track in the yards, and two blocks
were purchased north OF the present
boundary to provide ground, while
other land has been bought further
north to help increase the space, but
preliminary work has been held up,

The bureau OF commerce and labor
has just compiled some interesting
statistics on conditions of living among
the poor in the District of Columbia,
showing horrible oppression by the
loan companies which take advantage
of the necessities of the poor to ex-

the names The 1S cases which are
mentioned In the last report of the
bureau are as follows:
Loan No. There was sickness in
the family and n notice OF ejectment
had been served for non-payment Of
rent. To relieve the situation, SIS was
borrowed from a loan company. The
borrower agreed to pay for the SIS
seven monthly instalments of $3.45.
Thus the rate OF interest charged was
162 per cent per annum. When COM
plant was made by the borrower that
the interest charged was extortionate.
the company agreed to accept IS as
the sixth payment in place OF the
last two instaHments of S3.45, thus
reducing the sum to be paid fror-
s24.15 to secs and reducing the in
terest rate from 1862 per cent to 1i3

THE RED SQUIRREL.
He Stores Very Little Food For Use
In Winter.

He Stores Very Little Food For Use
In Winter.
In Maine-in fact, all over New Eng
land-red squirrels do not put by great
boards Of any kind for winter USE
When Maine red squirrel has filed
itself with acorns and beechnuts it
will hide a few here and there under
leaves, In hollow logs, in cracks of
rtfted trees and among stone heaps
An average red squirrel, having the
run of an oak grove in the fall of the
year, may in the course of two weeks
hide away from two to four quarts Of
acorns, though they will be in perhaps
twenty different places, and in no in
stance which we have noted has any
nut been shelled.
The squirrel which plans hoard Of
nuts and makes deliberate preparations
for winter is the little chipmunk, or
striped squirrel, which seeks winter
quarters soon after heavy frosts and
which remains in hiding all winter.
The chipmunks often hide as many as
two quarts of shelled beechnuts in one
pace. 1uelr SIOfenOuSeS are, DIS d rule,
under the ground, In sloping and sandy
soil, the burrows having been dug with
true engineering skill, so that no fresh
ct can drown them out
It is believed that most observing
woodsmen will say that the red squir-
rels Of this vicinity seldom make large
caches Of provisions for winter con-
sumption and never shell the stored
nuts. In fact, the red species have no
need to pay much heed to such matters,
as they are abroad and active in the
coolest days of winter as much as they
are in midsummer, so precautions for
food are not demanded. AS the red
squirrels subsist for good part Of the
year upon the cones Of pines and
spruces, which hang to the limbs, they
do not care how deep or hard the snow
may be, feeling secure in finding all
the food they want among the tree
tops.-Bangor News.
