solved.

comparatively small scale, TO

PACKING FROM EREIGHT CARS

Ell Paso, Tex, May 29.-The South
ern Pacific is having much trouble
with hot boxes on freight cars. AL
most every train that comes into the
local yards has several smoking jour
nails, and the delay in transit caused
by the cars being set out is a serious
matter.
The trouble is supposed to be caus-
ed by tramps stealing the packing
from the journal boxes to build fires
with in the jungle camps along the
road.
The oil soaked waste makes al
ideal starter for the fires that furnish
the brakebeam tourists warmth on
these chilly nights. Superintendent
McGovern has issued a bulletin warn
ing all trainmen to be on the lookout
for cars from which the packing had
been removed in order to lessen the
number of hot boxes.
