all of the general Offices in town. and
at the Hollenden hotel told story
OF one OF the slccping-car portcrs
who was recently found asleep while
ON duty. This is contrary to the
rules OF the Milwaukee road, and the
negro man was in trouble when
found by the inspector on the Pioneer
Limited. He had his wits about him,
however. and in response to the i'm

doing asleep. he said

Some of the various railway Off

In the matter of the shortage OF so
called Hooking Valley and Ignite

the fact that, there being more profit
in anthracite, the dealers haven't or
dered soft coal, and it doesn't come

1t seems remarkable that. If this be
true. SO many dealers in so many
different sections happened to think
of the same scheme at the same time
II certainly is not so in Linton. whose
dealers ordered soft coal months ago
1t would seem that the trouble is
caused principally by the tie-up Of
freight cars at terminal points, coup
led with the fact that some Of the
dealers do not lay in sufficient sup
ply Of soft coal before the fall freight
rush begins.
