WOULD LIKE A SQUARE DEAL
CYRUS II. Mccormick and Others Ask
to Intervene in Chicago Trac-
ton Troubles.

Chicago. Oct. 29.-Cyrus II. Mccormick
and a number of other holders of stock
in the North Chicago City Railway COM
pany and the Chicago West Division
Railway company have filed motions for
permission to file petitions in the United
States circuit court allowing them to in
tervene in the proposed settlement of the
traction problems in this city. The two
street car companies mentioned form the
basis of the Chicago Union Traction
company, which operates the street cars
on the north and west sides of the city.
The bulk of the stock of this company
is owned in New York and it is claimed
by the Chicago holders that the non-resi-
dent owners are trying to freeze out"
all of the local interests.
The petitions state that ever since the
leases came into the hands of the Union
Traction company that company has neg
lected it's duty as lessee, allowing the
lines of railway to deteriorate, giving the
public bad service, and instead of enter
ing into operating agreements with the
city on fair terms to the city, they Cthe
lessees) have endeaVored to coerce the
city into granting termsm which would
Weld a return not only on the money ac-
tuaIly invested. but also upon the fic-
titious capitalization of the Union Trac-
ton company.

While little has been heard of the West

ahead as rapidly as the shortage OF labor
and materials has permitted. The line

end of each days work. Carloads of ties
and rails and other materials are passing
through Salt Lake daily and being rushed

Despite the fact that the Gould inter

is EXPERIENCING considerable difficulty in
obtaining enough ties TO keep up with its
tracklaying outfit with a capacity Of one
mile per day. Ties are being brought from
oregon as rapidly as they can be pur-
chased.
The car shortage is also an obstacle to
rapid line building. The cars built in the
local shops of the Rio Grande for the
western Pacific. as well as Rio Grande
cars are being sent into Oregon and out
10 the Sawmill at BOca to hurry the con-
slgnments needed at the end of the West
ern Pacific on its Salt Lake division.
While little news is being brought in
from the track-en6 camps, information is
volunteered which shows that the work
is being pushed against all odds. The

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-

you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
deafness is the result, and unless the in
