PLAN An AUTOMOBILE TRAIN

with Clear 1rack


The Compagnie Internationale de.
Wagon-Lits-the Continental Pullman
company-is preparing to launch in
France service Of Automobile
trains for the Mediterranean com
pany.
These cars, which arc designed by
n. Serpollet, run on the rails OF the
company. and are therefore not amen.
able to speed rules. With clear track
they can make ninety.three miles an
hour. or seventy-five niles on up
grades.
The cars will weigh thirty-two tons
each, but as the weight Of an ordinary
European locomotive is ninety-four
tons there is an enormous saving In
wear and tear on the rails.
The cars are designed with 4 view
TO lessen wind resistance: their sides
will be fiat, and have no projectioaA
and the ends will be pointed. The
railway world is interested in this
development, and NJ. Serpollet has
received applications from English
and other companies asking that the
new motor train may be tried over
their systems.
or course, II the thing succeeds,
automobile railways can be construct.
ed anywhere upon sleeper grades
with far lighter rails and At much les.
cost than ordinary railroads. Indeed.

More interior markets; that is the
remedy. Stop the foolish and wicked
double haul on railroad systems
which are VIGOROUSLY and confessed
ly unable to take care of the traffic
even on the basis of a single haul.
On every ton of merchandise car
ried from the east through to the
coast terminals and then hauled back
for consumption in the Inland En-
pire there is a waste of energy, time
and money. Eastern merchandise con-
sumed in the Inland Empire should
be dropped off at Inland Empire
points. Cars thus emptied can then
he filled with grain, livestock and
other Inland Empire products going
to the coast. Conversely, cars now
filled by coast jobbers on their ship
ments into the interior would be re-
LEVIED of that burden and would be
available for through shipments from
the coast terminals to the east.
What remains to be said after Mr..
Hills sensational utterances as quot
ed above? Nothing. He has stated the
logic in a way that is irrefutable-
there must be more interior mar
kets. Observation-Disclosures.

MUST NOT WASTE WATER.

The case now in court against a
prominent farmer, whom it is alleged
has disobeyed the regulations govern
ing the use of water, will be follow
ed with no little interest by people
who own land under the irrigation
projects.
The County Commissioners are en-
deavoring to prohibit people from
w1lfuly wasting water. 1t is be-
lieved that a few arrests will awaken
the public to a realization of its Obli-
cations to the law in this matter.
The men against whom warrants are
issued are both good citizens, and
their being in difficulty is probably
wholly due to careless neglect rather
than to wilful intent to disobey the
law.
Nevertheless, their arrests will
have the desired salutary effect, and
good results will doubtless follow.

Clever With the Cards.

Some years ago certain county jail
was undergoing extensive alterations,
during which time gang Of pickpock-
cts, four In number, were arrested one
market day. Owing to the alterations
the lot were confined for q time in one
cell, but were placed under strict sur
veillance, the care Of them being spe-
clally intrusted to the sergeant. The
day after during his rounds he spied
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned a fei-
low constable. on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners We're most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However the card playing still
continued until the day on which the
pickpockets were to be sent to the as
sizes for trial. Then the superintend-
ent, very kind man and great IA
vcrite with every one, asked them as
a favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
in his pocket and picked it again be-
fore he left, as proof of which they
presented him with the much used
pack.-Pearson' Weekly.

FARMERS ARE WAKING UP.

The advance of wheat on the Chi
cago market may mean little to the
man who produces the cereal. 1t may
have little to do with the price the
farmer gets for his yearly labor, for
he has been in the habit Of taking
what the buyers were willing to give
him.
The American farmer now threat
ems to declare his independence from
the spectators in the wheat pit and
in Wall street. He realizes that his
profits have been too small-he has
realized that for a long time-but
he has endured it on the theory that
he could not help himself. He is
growing wiser now. He has seen
other classes raise the standard Of
their own living, and he is trying to
do the same.
The American famrer has gone up
against the reaper trust, the Irvine
trust, the sack trust, the sugar trust
and most of the trusts known to the
ordinary consumer. These trusts nave
kept the farmer down; now he is or
ganizing a trust of his own. 1t is not
thoroughly organized yet, but it is
coming.
The farmer has had little to say
n bout tho nrico mold him for hiS prn-
duce. That was regulated by the buy
ers, and they did not give too gener-
Gus share. 1t is pleasing to note
that the farmers are now beginning
TO get a fair price for what they pro-
duce. They are the producers Of
wealth, and they deserve their just
share of the profits.-Spokane
Chronicle.

Eating Grasshoppers.

''No wonder l am brown" said a
globe trotter. Il am just back from
the Sahara. I spent two months wan
dering with a caravan of camels over
that white eXpanse of sun warmed
sand. The Sahara is like the beach at
Atlantic City. q fiat immensely of the
whitest, cleanest sand, and the stran-
gest thing did in my wanderings was
to eat desert grasshoppers. The Arabs
regard these grasshoppers as a luxury,
and was tempted to try them, just as
in Paris l have been tempted to try
snails. The grasshoppers were good.
You plucked off the wings, the legs
and the head, and then you ate the
dried body. This morsel tasted precise
~ like an English walnut. l ate grass
hoppers several times, and when re-
turn to the Sahara l am going to eat
them again."

j. j. HILL TO THE GOVERNOR.

In letter to Governor John A..
Johnson of Minnesota James J. Hill
practically admits that the unneces-
sary double haul on merchandise
which goes through to the Pacifice
coast terminals and is distributed
back into the interior is against pub
lie policy.
In recent interview in the Spok-
esmanReview Mr.. Hill frankly con-
fessed that it is physical impossible
ity for the transcontinental railroads
to take care of their present traffic.
He said that it would require an ex-
penditure of $500, 100000 to put
the railroads of the United States in
shape properly to handle their pres
ent business.
But where, he asked, can this
enormous capital be found? No
where. And if it could be found, 1--WE
years would be required to do the
work and there is not enough unem-
ployed labor in the country to do it.
Many of the points in that inter-
view are also found in the open let
ter written by Mr.. Hill to the COVER
nor of Minnesota. After going into
statistics to substantiate the forego-
ing assertions. Mr. Hill reaches the
following conclusions: Two RENE
dies must be found. The prohibitory
expense not attached te the enlarge
ment OF terminals at many points and
the absolute lack of available space
at any price may be met by a decen-.
'tralization of traffic. There must be
more points of export. more interior
markets"

A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance is reported
from Natal, where youthful Hindoo
bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
Jewels. The case came before the Dur
ban police court in the first instance,
where the brides parents. says the
Natal Mercury, accused her husband Of
abducting her while under thirteen
years of age. The bride, however,
claimed to be eighteen. and the magis-
trate dismissed the case. Outside the
court tug of war took place between
the two parties for the possession Of
the bride, in the course of which 1t ap-
peared that what her parents particu-
larry desired was not herself, but her
jewe.ry. A sergeant Of police then sat
in judgment and decided that the jew
elry belonged to the parents. and the
girl must choose between her husband
and her bracelets. After some cogita-
ton she chose the husband. who
promptly unfastered the bangles from
her arms and handed them to her
parents.
