D0DS0N CANAL

Bids are bing asked by the Reclaim

citation for the construction of the
first Z miles of the Dodson South
canal The date of the acceptance OF

who are able to do so, viii assist in

ENGLISH LADS
ADD SEVEN WINS
BUT AMERICA SETS ANOTHER
WORLDS RECORD WITH
THE DISCUS.

London, July 20-In Saturdays
Olympic games the United Kingdom
completely outclassed the other coun-
tries, her athletes adding seven wins
to their already good scores. These
included the archery contest, the
3,2OO-meter steepIechase, 200-meter
breast stroke swimming; 5,OO0-meter
cycling, 1O0-kilometer cycling, tug of
war and iye-mile fiat race.
Only two other events were de-
cided, the discus throwing, Greek
style, and fancy diving, which went
to America and Germany respectively,
but America accomplished two things
Of which her supporters are extreme
ly proud. In the first place, Martin
J. Sheridan, Irish-American Athletic
club, broke all previous records with
the discus at this style of throwing,
making the distance of 128 feet
inches, while H. F. Horn of the same
club was second, also with a record
breaking throw of 122 feet IL
inches. The other accomplishment of
which all athletes are talking was the
success Of ]. L. EiseIe, New York
Athletic club, in getting third place
in the 3,2OO-meter steepIechase.
America never had any idea of scor-
ing in this event, particularly since
EiseIe had run three of the hardest
races during the week. The iye-mile
event was won by Weight of the
United Kingdom.

AGENT
DISCUSSES RATES
TELLS OF TROUBLE ROADS ARE
HAVING IN REGARD
TO RAISE.

A travelling freight agent for an
eastern road, in the city for short
time looking after the interests of his
road, stated that the eastern roads
are at present having trouble with
manufacturers associations over the
proposed increase in freight rates,
which he believes are TOO low for the
present cost of maintenance and oper-
alton of railroads. In talking with
reporter about the freight rate agita-
uon, which is felt more in the east
than here, he said:
In the agitation for and against
an increase in freight rates, the ques-
ton OF the cost of labor is the princi-
pal one to be considered. In their eff
forts to raise rates or cut wages, the
railroad companies are meeting with
determined opposition from labor or
CARNATIONS, backed by political infu-
ence and the government, to reduce
wages, so that effort has ben aban-
doned.
The falling off in traffic, while
materials and wages remain at the
present high figure, has been depict
ing the treasures of railroads and has
caused a let-up in railroad invest
ments, and consequently in railroad
improvements. Passenger rates have
been forced down by laws and freight
rates have been forced down, so as
to make it impossible, in times Of vast
business, to accumulate profits to be
used in hard times when traffic is
light. Rates on freight should, in my
opinion, be proportionate to the cost
of maintenance and operation and not
according to any wrong idea Of the
valuation of the property or false con-
ceptions Of its earning capacity.
II the present wheel loads are
continued, track construction must be
increased and that means a less net
profit, even at an increase in the
freight rates, such as the roads have
wished to put into operation. But TO
go back TO the leading question in
this freight rate matter, that IS, the
cost of labor, for here lies the whole
trouble that the railroads are expert
encing. I will agree that if the Iv-
ing expenses remain at the present al
titude, the present wages ought TO be
maintained. That proposition being
true, it affords a just reason for an
adequate raise in freight rates, so that
railroad companies can make a rea-
sonble profit on their investments.
