.:STREET CAR TRACKS LAID.
Work Begun Tuesday and Several
Blocks Put Down-Pawng to Be
gin Again at Once and Rushed
to Completion.

The doubling Thomasos have had
their doubts dispelled as to Ardmorc
having street car system today.
The first rails were laid just before
noon on Main street opposite the Al.
eXandcr hotel and large force Of
hands put to work scat1'rine ties
and laying rails, so as TO insure the
rapid work in the way Of completing
the line on Main street as laid out.
The paving force will begin work
as soon as the rails and tracks have
been laid and within the next thirty
days the major portion Of Main street
will have been paved with asphalt.
and people will not have to hog up
TO their knees in case Of a downpour
OF rain.
II certainly looks likes business to
see large force of hands busily
employed laying car tracks.
1 II means much for Ardmorc and
this country. 1t means that a new era
/ is about to dawn and the city win
take on such a growth that will ex
eel the expectations Of the most
sanguinc, despite the croaking of the
knockers who have stood out that the
laying of rails was a blur on the part
of the company that has the fran
chise for the street car service in this
city
Other lines will be built as rapidly
as possible. the work Of constructing
the Main street line was delayed on
account of the absence Of cross ties
which caused an unavoidable delay in
street paving.

CAR SHORTAGE CONDITIONS
The Car Shortage About Over In All
Sections Of the Country Ex-
eept In the Large Trade
Centers.

The car shortage problem that has
been an endless source of trouble
TO the railroads and shipping world
is about to be q matter OF ancient
history and so far as local condi-
tions is concerned. is no more. Some
trouble is still being met with at the
larger points, Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City.
The drawback that is hindering the
transportation of freight Is that while
the number of cars in use Is larger
than few months ago. the cars are
loaded heavier and some hindrance Is
met with In haulssg through freight
for that reason. Usually railroads do
not load through freight cars with
full tonnage. but at present all cars
have to be loaded to their fullest ca.
pacity and a great deal Of local freight
placed in cars that are usually intend
ed for through service and In this
manner delay shipments.
, The railroads throughout this sec
tion are at the present time meeting
with some little trouble in securing
cattle cars for the movement of cattle
south to the pastures In the az hern
part of the territory and in Kansas
IL to the present tim. however. no
drawbacks have occurred and in all
probability none will occvur this
