Thinks Bids Too High

Washington, Aug. 2,-OlIlcials of
the Treasury Department today open
ed bids for the site of the new public
building which Congress provided for
at its last session for Hagerstown. Sew
eral years ago Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the structure and at its last
session made an additional grant o.
$4,000, a total of $50, 900 available for
the building.
The department wants lot measuI-
ing about $3.50 by 100 feet, and the
amount available for the purchase of
such site is in the neighborhood of
$4,000. 1t was stated at the Treasury
today that the prices asked by the bid
ders are considerably in excess of what
the majority of the owners are expect
ed to accept if the Government decides
that it wants any one of the sites of
fered.
An agent will be sent to HagerstOwn
in the near future by the Treasury De-
partment, who will examine the vari-
ous lots offered. Until his report is re-
ceiN6d no further consideration will be
given the bids, which were as follows;
George l.. Winter, lot at the corner
of South Potomac and South Locust
streets, measuring l26x165 feet; price,

Philadelphia. July Slim portant
changes in passeL ger rates were an
nounced today by Fourth Vice-Presi-
dent John b. Thaye-, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, following meeting of
the board of directors of that corpora
ton. The company has decided to re-
duce the maximum one-way fare from
81 and cents to p cents mile This
action will involve a REIMBURSEMENT Of
all through fares from the South, and
owing to the vast amount of work en-
tailed by reason of the change, the new
rate Of fare will not become operative
for some time, probably not until No
vember |.
Ii is assumed that the competing
lines which reach New York by way
of Cincinnati and Louisville will meet
the Pennsylvania reduction by read
just,nent of fares, SO that all Southern
passenger traffic, whether by way of
Washington, Cincinnati or Louisville,
will be on an equal basis.
The company will also on September
place on sale / ,000-mile tickets, valid
only on its lines east Of Pttsburg and
Erie, at the fiat prlce Of so. These
mileage tickets will be transferable.
No change is to be made in the price
of the interchangeable mileage tickets
now sold by the company, which are
not transferable and upon which de
post of SO above the regular price is
required. 1t is estimated that $4,000
interchangeable mileage books are pre-
sented daily on the various roads, and
of this number 50 per cent. are used on
the lines of the Pennsylvania Rail
road.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The republican state convention
emerged from it's factional contest
with Governor Cummins as the noml
nee upon a platform in full harmony
with the views expressed by our ma
tional leaders in the recent confer
ence with President Roosevelt. Aug
ust is not "letter R month" but that
did not prevent the republicans OF
Iowa from getting inspiration from
Oyster Bay.
Personally, the Herald would have
preferred Mr.. Perkins or Major Rath
bun as the nominee, but the republi
can party in convention assembled has
settled these matters of party differ
ence and we shall, as we have always
done, use our best efforts for the elec
ton of the whole ticket.
1t is no time now to renew and dis
cuss any of the unpleasant features o.
the struggle through which we have
passed.
Let US heal all our sores and pro
coed TO place few Of them upon the
epidermis of the enemy. A big ma
5ority for the whole ticket should be
the motto of all republicans.

himself heard, as his -oice had been
worn out by the work Of the day. Geo.

was one OF the happy incidents OF the

THE TREND eULFwARp,

sioux City journal: is the future
principal port of the United States to
be on the gulf? The present trend of
outward-bound commerce is more and
more via southern ports, and enthusi-
astic southerners have ground for OPP
timistic prophecies. In the shipment
Of breadstuffs alone the port of New

ness during the last year. The port
of Galveston has multiplied its bust.
ness by four. Mobile also shows a re-
markable increase.
Four influences chiefly are bound to
work for the advancement of the
southern ports, namely, the growth of
South American commerce, the 18TH
milan canal, the advantage in distance
from most of the producing districts
of the middle west, and the growing
density of population in the territory
adjacent to these ports, with attendant
increase Of local products.
With the completion of the canal
Galveston and New Orleans will De
the natural ports for both the out-go-
ing and the incoming commerce be-
nent and Pacific and trans-P Pacific
ports. With the enlargement of
South American business they will be
the natural outlet to shipments to az
the north and west coast of the south
ern continent, and the outlet of the
middle and western regions for the
shipments of the eastern coast as
well. Railroad BUILDERS have not been
blind to the future possibilities Of
these southern outlets, and lines are
more and more converging to the
promising ports of the south. They
are offering great stimulus to the
settlement of the hitherto sparsely
populated regions of the southern
states lying west of the Mississippi,
and these states are being rapidly fill
ed up. What may be called the nat
ural trade territory of Galveston was
not long ago much Of it waste, partly
grazing land, partly Indian foraging
ground, partly uninhabited jungle.
Now the country is threaded by rail.
roads, dotted with small farms, in
tensely productive.
That the effect of the growth of
southern ports will seriously affect the
commercial centers of the Atlantic
coast is not anticipated, for there will
always be eastern demand sufficient
to keep up the standard of Atlantic
coast commerce. The southern ports
will grow through the requirement Of
new business more than through the
absorption of that from some other
section. The industries Of this coun-
try are capable of infinite intensified
ton, and the products Of immense in.
crease. The future is bound to see
suficiency of business to not only
keep the ports of New York and other
eastern shipping centers crowded with
business, but also to build up new
business on our southern coast that
will vie with it in volume and will add
to the general prosperity of the entire
country.

ELECTRICITY sUPPLANTING

trail railroad to the American Locomo-
tive company to be delivered There
are eighteen more nearly completed
and due to arrive before September l.
the day set for the opening of electri-
cal service on that railroad from the
Grand Central station to Highbridge
on the main line and Wakefield on the
Harlem division. While the big cleo
trio locomotives are to draw the
through trains to and from High
bridge until the main line service is
finally extended to Croton, the motor
cars, running in five and seven-car
trains together with steel trailers,
are to care for the suburban service.
Fifty-five trailers have been ordered
from st. Louis car building company.
and the first lot will soon arrive.
The electric locomotives are capa-
BILE of making the regular trip from
the Grand Central station to Croton,
distance of thirty-four miles, with a
total train weight Of ABS tons, in forty
four minutes without stop. The
heaviest of these trains will be SIS
ton and will be drawn by two locomo.
tives. Maximum speeds of from sixty
to sixty-five miles an hour are to be
attained, but undoubtedly this will be
largely increased as the curves are
Strengthened and the roadbed further
improved.
The designers have secured the
best mechanical features of the high
speed steam locomotive, combined
with the enormous power and simple
ity in control made possible by the
1se of the electric drive. The locomo-
tive has four driving axles, on each Of
which is mounted the armature of a
gearless electric motor having nor
| NAL rating of 550-horse power. The
total rated capacity Of the locomotive
is 2,200-horse power, although for
short periods a considerably greater
power may be developed, making 1t
more powerful than the largest loco
motive in existence.
According to the electrical experts
the electric locomotive has many adj
vantages over the steam locomotive,
All danger from fire and explosion,
which is always present in steam
locomotive carrying fire under a fore
ed draught and boiler charged with
high pressure steam, is eliminated
from the electric locomotive. The
experts also say that the substitution
of simple rotating member in the
electric locomotive for the cranks,
side rods, pistons and other parts con.
nected with reciprocating motion in
the steam locomotive diminishes the
possibility Of accident.

You can always tell whether a
man is married or single when you
see him go through screen door, says
the Wellington News. If he is mar.
ried he approaches the door cautious,
ly, glances nervously around, then
takes off his hat and swipes it up and
down the door two or three times. He
then quietly opens the door about two
inches, squeezes himself through and
closes it with a quick snap. The
length of time he has been married
may be determined by the degree OF
fear and nervousness indicated in his
countenance.

THE TENDENCY TO SPEND.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The pres
ent cost of living is varlously dis
cussed. But the farmer cannot get
$40 for his steers, nor and z cents
for his hogs without beef and pork
costing more. Yet you would not vote
in favor Of the farmer getting less for
the products of his toll. 1t is also
true that in an era of good prices,
when everyone is buying, there is a
tendency for every middle man to add
little larger profit for himself than
he would do in closer times. Itshould
also be borne in mind that in such
time Of prosperity there is similar
tendency on the part OF every one to
live little more freely, to buy more

and to inquire less about the cost.
Money is earned easily and it is spent
readily and without conjunction.
When everything is going along at a
good rate every one feels the invigor.
ating effect of it and some become
careless of the consequences. When
times are harder people spend more
carefully, more frugally. They then
buy those things that are cheaper,
where they get more for their money.
That is one Of the drawbacks to pros.
perity with many people, that It
breeds free and easy spirit of living
and spending, SO that at the end of
the average era of prosperity many
find that they have not gotten very
much ahead, unless the better living
they have enjoyed may be called get.
