A Million a Day For Sugar

Figures gathered by the bureau of
statistics show that the average Ameri-
can citizen consumes half his own
weight in sugar every year and Uncle
Sans sugar bill averages 81, 900, 900 Il
day. The total consumption of sugar
in the United States in 1907, as shown
by Il report issued by the bureau which
is the latest year for which statistics
are available, reached 1853, G67, 975
pounds.
Calculating this enormous total at
the average retail price of 81 cents per
pound" the report states, I'VE get a
total of 1912, 900, 600 as its cost to the
consumer, or more than $1,000, 900 u
day for each of the $50 days of the
year."
The statement shows that 21.3 per
cent or 1911, 200, 900 pounds of the sugar
consumption of the country was of
home production; IT. per cent or 1,254,-
100000 pounds was brought from our
insular possessions and the remaining
81 per cent or 4,387, 100000 came from
foreign countries. Forty-three million
pounds was the aggregate of the export
alton of sugar from this country.
The Uuited States sugar record for
1907 was unique in that the quantity
of that product imported from foreign
countries was larger than ever before
the quantity brought from our island
possessions was larger than any
previous year; the quantity exported
was larger than in any year of the past
decade and the per- capita consumption
was the largest ever recorded, an
average of 92.6 pounds for each man,
woman and child Of continental United
States.
The production Of beet sugar for the
first time exceeded tho production of
cane sugar, the product for the year
being cane sugar, 544,oOO,OOO pounds,
while the production of beet sugar
amounted so 987, 100000 pounds.

No More Train Agents

Beginning with January LIST, P. r.
Lund, chief train agent of the Southern
Pacific. with department headquarters
on the tenth floor of the Flood building
will have his official head chopped off
and the department of which he is now
at the head will be one of the past.
Two weeks ago Mr. Lund was sum-
moned to Chicago by Mr. Stubs, frr
conference the result being the elimina-
ton of the sporting" department of
the Espee system.
. At present there are Al train agents
ON the system whose duties consist
of checking tickets on trains out of
terminal stations where there are
foreign connecting lines.
When first installed few years ago,
the train agent was officially reported
to be for the exclusive purpose af assist
ing the train conductor. AS time passed
the purposes of the Office seemed to
have changed into one of "spotter" in
degree upon the conductor.
|. While the Southern Pacific officials
do not like to admit such to be the fact,
nevertheless it is true, many of the
train agents today are in degree
sporting" upon the train crews
tits said that after the first of the
new year. men now employed in the
capacity of train agents will continue
to run upon the trains to be officially
deignated as train auditors and will
come under the jurisdiction of the
auditing department
A difference of opinion seems to exist
as to the nature of the duties to be
performed by train auditor. Some are
of the belief that the entire handling
of train transportation will be taken
out of the hands of train conductors and
given to the auditors leaving the train
conductor with the exclusive duty of
looking after the operation Of his train.
When train agents were first ex-
perimented with by the Southern Pa
citic they handled the business in this
manner but were subsequently chang
ed to the simple duty of preceding the
train conductor and inspecting trans
portation in possession of each passen-
ger with Il view to catching scalper's
tickets or transportation in the hands
of others than the rightful purchaser

WcsaErn Pacific Work

The site of the Western Pacific shops
and roundhouse west of town is pretty
busy place these days. A force of
Greeks has the trenches and excavations
for the roundhouse ready for the con-
crete. Yesterday afternoon work began
on the pit for the turntable. This is 80
feet in diameter and a large amount of
dirt has to bemoved. When completed,
the turntable will handle the largest
engines.
the section of the roundhouse now
under way will be built of wood and
will contain eight stalls. The round
house will face east and directly back
of it will be the shops. 1t is said that
the main shop will be 100 #. 49 #.
A spur starting from the Western
Pacific near the Hot Springs bridge will
connect with the Southern Pacific near
the semiphore poles just west of town.
Men are at work clearing the line of the
spur and getting it ready for the track,
All supplies received over the Southern
Padific will be taken to the Western
Pacific yards over this spur. This
will save time and the expense of haul
ing by teams.
The work now being done is all pre-
iminary to the main work. 1t will be
several weeks yet before much of show
ing is made.
