Evidences OF Returning Railway
Prosperity loom Up.
Orders for Equipment Are Now
Being Placed.
REPAIRING ROADBEDS
Engines, Coaches and Building
Supplies Are Purchased.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Chicago, Dec. 2-The railroads are
contributing very largely to market
activity. The leading interest received
contracts last week covering the trade
supply requirements of the Chicago &
Northwestern and the Wisconsin Cen
tral roads. The former road took q, 900
kegs of spikes and 5000 kegs of bolts
and the latter 10000 kegs. Another
western road placed orders for 10000
kegs of spikes and bolts. and Inquiries
for about 125. 900 kegs additional are on
the point of being converted into con-
tracts. The bolt mills at Joliet are now
behind in filling orders, and new ma
chimes are being installed. The demand
Tor ordinary angle bars, however, is
less active, due to a tendency to favor
the continuous and other special rail
joints. It is reported that the Mis-
souri, Pacific is planning to repair it's
entire system, replacing ties, bolts,
spikes and angle bars throughout. At
present this system is at work on a
stretch of 1900 miles.
There is small likelihood or even a
possibility of any of the railroads send
ing in actual shipping orders for 1909
rails until the matter of rail specit1ca-
tions is settled, and few formal in
quiries for next years requirements
have been received. There is in sight,
however, about 100000 tons. Nothing
has been done with the 40,000-ton in
quiry from the Burlington, but it is un-
derStood that the Northwestern has ar
ranged for about 1000 tons. The 500
line has ordered 5000 tons and the
Manistee & Northern something over
5000 tons. Also an order for 1900 tons
of light rails was placed. The North
ern Pacific railroad is in the market for
about $500 tons of bridge material.
Railroad equipment orders include 80
locomotives for thes,Chicago & Alton,
25 locomotives for the st. Louis &
Southern, 10 Pacific type engines and
three others for the Northern Pacific,
all from the Bald win works. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas has ordered six
teen engines from the American Loco
motive company and the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton is in the market
for twenty The American Car &
Foundry company will build 700 freight
cars for the San Antonio & Arkansas
Pass railroad and the German-Ameri-
can Car Company has received an Or
der for one hundred S.000-gallon tank
cars for Proctor & Gamble. The st:
Louis & San Francisco has ordered
500 900 tie plates and $4,000 angle bars.
The large amount of car building has
brought into the market correspond
ing demand for axle billets. Forging
billets also are more active ana sales
indicate a large increase in machinery
building. The Bucyrus Steam Shovel
company of Milwaukee, bought 800 tons
last week. Both the inquiries and new
orders for plate have improved, and In
prices are stronger. A fair
tonnage of plates is going into bridge
and tank work. and it is reported that
contracts for three steel lake vessels
have been let. for which 10000 tons will
be required.

WILSON MAKES REPORT.
Shows That State Dairy Commissioner
Is a Busy Man.

d. NJ. Wilson, state dairy commits
s1oner, at Manhattan, was in the city
today in conference with Secretary
Coburn in regard to the first report of
the dairy commissioner since that Of
flee was established some two years
ago. Mr.. WILSON, expects to have his
report, which covers that period from
June so, 1907, to June 30, 1908, pub
lshed by the first of the year. The ad-
vance sheets show that the work of
this office has cen intelligent and
comprehensive, with the main object
in view of improving the quality and
quantity of the milk product of the
state. The report will be illustrated,
in order to show comparisons with the
methods of dairymen and cream sta
tions few years ago and at the pres
ent time. Wonderful progress has
been made, especially in the matter of
cleanliness and sanitary conditions
The report shows the tremendous
value Of the dairy products of Kansas.
creameries and two milk condenser
stations in the state show that they
have handled 33.O45,471 pounds of
milk and 68,645,3S1 pounds of cream
a a value of from s cents to "a cents
per pound, making a total revenue
from these products of $5,343, ,085.6O.
Add to this the value of 2S2, 900
pounds of ice cream and $4,000
pounds of skim milk and the total
value of the dairy products of the state
handled by these stations totals
$7,772, ,24S.43.
Mr.. Wilson stated today that he has
met with splendid success in the cam
paign to promote cleanliness and sani-
tary conditions in the dairies and
creameries of Kansas. The farmers
and creamery men and dairymen have
hastened to cooperate with him as
fast as they come to understand the
practical value of modern plans of
handling milk. The necessity of pure
milk is apparent to any one. People
generally do not realize that the odors
from an ill kept stable or COW lot
penetrate milk and injure its quality
and healthfulness, but such has been
proved to be the case.
The old plan of keeping a milk or
cream station in connection with a
grocery store or poultry house is
shown up thoroughly and the results
therefrom in Mr.. wilson's coming re-
port. It is sure to prove an interest
ing and instructive volume and should
have a general circulation throughout
the state.

Automobile Problem Has Been
Solved There.
NO INJURY TO ROADS.
Use of Cars Not Detrimental to
Highways.
Notes the Difference i'm Motor
Car Restrictions Abroad.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Logan Waller
Page, director of the office of public
roads of the United States department
of agriculture, who was named by
President Roosevelt. as head of the
American Commission to the recent In
ternational Roads congress at Paris, re-
turned to Washington a few days since,
firm in the belief that in some of the
more scientific branches of highway
construction the United States has
nothing to learn from the older nations,
though, he was willing to concede that
those countries surpasS this to an
amazing degree in the percentage of
improved road mileage and in the jeal-
Gus care with which their splendid
highways are maintained.
Among the many things which espec-
tally impressed Mr.. Page during this
European trip We're the methods for
regulating automobile traffic in France
and England; the belief of a majority
of the delegates to the roads congress
that the automobile running at average
speed is not detrimental to highways;
the splendor of French hospitality; the
discovery that many miles of very sat
isfactory highways in England have
been constructed by mixing limestone
and granite after the methods set forth
in publications issued through the Uni
ted States Office of public roads, and the
amusing discussion now being carried
on by English automobilists against
horse traffic in city streets and upon
suburban highways.
1t is his belief that from the congress
itself at least one big result will flow
and credit for that must go to Ameri-
ca On a suggestion by Mr. Page, it
was determined to create an interna-
tional bureau of roads. similar in some
respects to the international bureau of
navigation. This body will consist of
two or more delegates from each of the
% governments represented at the con-
gress It's purpose will be the collect
ing of all possible information on road
work, the passing on it by a commit
tee of experts, and it's distribution
throughout the world.
The ultimate benefits of so far
reaching a move cannot now be esti-
mated. but the world will some day
carry a heavy debt of gratitude to the
government whose highway representa-
bureau. and brought to its support the
delegates of every civilized country on
the globe.
Credit must go to Mr.. Page for the |
proposed erection of a memorial to NJ. |
Tresauget, the great French highway
engineer who was the originator of the |
modern French system of road main |
tenance, and who began the buildiSR |
of the Incompatible system of high |
Uays that has made France famous as /
