SALT AIR PAVILION
It Has Been Covered With Rubber
Flaxine Roofing.

The Salt Air Pavilion, recently COM
pleted at Salt Lake City. Utah, is
perhaps the largest single structure of
its kind under one roof in the United
States.
The actual amount of roofing requir-
ed Cthe roofing being 80 inches wide)
was over four miles. 1t is only natur-
al in figuring a proposition of such
proportions. that contractors and
builders should look closely to two
points-the cost. and the quality to be
used, of roofing.

Tempe Department

is now head prison barber and de-
votes his spare time to making gavels
and other pieces of hand work. Mr..
Hill made his acquaintance and in
their conversation the subject of lodges
came up. Learning that Tempe had a
new lodge, Mr.. Dennison at once felt
that he wanted to do something and he
forthwith set about making the gavel,
and when Mr.. Hill left the prison
short time ago, the gavel was given
him to be later presented to the lodge.
The gavel is a beautiful piece of
work. 1t is of iron wood, inlaid with
pearl and silver. on one side are the
words, Tempe Lodge No. 26, X. of
P" on another the words, Instituted
May Bird, 1907" and on the front is the
Pythian emblem. This last is one of
the finest pieces of inlaid work ever
seen here The gavel is one that is
well worth s25 or $50; and probably
could not be duplicated for more than
that sum.

IMPROVEMENTS AT
PACIFIC CREAMERY
New Engine Installed and Concrete
Walk Being Built.

Within the last few days a number
of improvements have been made at
the Pacific Creamery company's plant
east of town, A new 20-horsepower
engine has been installed. taking the
place of the one that has been in use
for years past and which has about
served its purpose. The new, engine
is of a more modern type and will run
til the shafting of the plant.
Where the creamery ground flanks
the railroad right a retaining
wall of reinforced concrete is being
constructed. This has long been need
ed there for there is little more than
room for a wagon between the building
and the track, and it was a difficult
matter to keep the road in good shape.
The new wall will last a life time and
will prevent the dirt from the road
from falling onto the track.

345, 900 JOBLESS RAILROAD MEN.
Vast Army Of Employees Has Beer
Laid Off Since Juae.

Chicago.-On seventeen fepresen-
tative railroads Of the United States,
constituting ene-third Of the mileage
of the country, the total number OF
employees is eighteen per cent. smaller
than on June 80, 1907. This state
ment is based on authoritative figures
just obtained by the Chicago General
Managers Association for the infor-
nation of it's members.
The railroads from which reports
were received traverse practically all
parts of the country and the figures
are said by railroads managers to be
fairly typical of railway conditions
generally. The percentage of men
laid off is much the same among all
the line, running from fifteen to five
per cent. Of the number employed last
June. In one or two instances the
figure is larger. On some Of the
roads not included in the list the per-
centage of men discharged is known
to be as large or larger than those
reporting. Among these is the Penn
sylvania.
The total mileage of the seventeen
railroads amounts to 1852 miles.
On June 80, 1907, the number of
men employed on these roads aggre-
gated 581,713. At present the num-
Der is 476,947, a decrease of 104,766.
The number of idle employees at pres
ent is probably in the neighborhood
of 345,000.

RAILROAD OUTLOOK BETTER.
Interstate Commissioner Lane Says
Conditions Are Improving.

Washington, D. C. - Franklin K.
Lane, Pacific Coast member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
says of the railroad situation:
From the figures available to the
commission it does not appear that,
taking the country as a whole, the
revenues of the railroads have fallen
off to the extent that generally is be-
lieved. I have the figures compiled
by Professor Henry G. Adams. our
statistician, as to the New York, New
Haven and Hartford, New York Gen.
trail, Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia, Southern, Louisville and Nash
Vile, Rock Island. Atchison. Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, Northwest
ern, Southern Pacific, Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, which may be
taken as representative Of the rail-
road systems of the entire country.
The figures are for the months of
July, August and September, and a
study of them shows that the panic,
so far as it affected the railroads, eX-
tended but slightly beyond Chicago
toward the West.
"'Viewing the country as a whole,
the outlook for the railroads, as
shown by their own figures, is not so
disquieting as has been supposed, and
these figures, it must be remembered,
include at least two months after the
panic began in New York, during a
greater portion of which time banks
would not make loans or discounts
and railroads in many parts of the
country would not receive checks In
payment Of freight.
There can be no question that
within the past three weeks there has
been a strong upward tendency in
freight revenues. A greater volume
of traffic is moving to-day than has
been moved at any time during the
past two and perhaps three months.
The figures Of the American Railway
Association show that there is less
surplus Of cars at this time than at
any period since October 80. This
promises an early return to more nor-
NAL conditions, and railroad men
generally are more optimistic than
they have been since the Knicker-
booker Trust Company closed its
doors"

Washington, D. C.-Some remarks
about conditions in the railroad
world which were contained in an in
terview with James j. Hill In New
York brought out a response from
Franklin K. Lane, a member or the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Here is part of Mr.. Lanes statement:
"The whole world has a great ad-
miration for Mr.. Hill, but l do wish
he would not be so lugubrious. Jim
Dumps has not yet superseded the
optimistic Uncle Sam as the typical
American. A year ago Mr.. Hill said
that the railroads had failed to meet
the traffic necessities Of the country;
that there had been a steady increase
in business which the railroads had
not met and that it would be neces-
sary to invest $500, 100000 in pro-
viding equipment, double tracks and
terminals to handle the business of
the country properly. And now be-
cause for two or three months the
railroads have been able to handle
more business than was offered them
we are met on all hands with the cry
that the country is going to the bow
bows.
What is the necessity for painting
the picture blacker than it is? Does
it arise out of the fact that Congress
is in session, or that there is a Presi-
Dental election impending? Is a
man an enemy of the railroads be-
cause he refuses to believe every old
woman's tale that comes out of Wall
Street? 1 do not understand the rea-
son why at the time when railroad
sredit should be upheld those who
ought to be most interested in sup
porting that credit are lending their

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family

influence to breaking it down.
Let us see what these figures
show" said Mr.. Lane. THE average
monthly receipts from freight and
passenger traffic for each mile of the
225,OOO miles of railroad in the Uni
ted States reporting to this commits
sion for the first v months OF this
fiscal year were $3.50, which is $3.50
per mile per month more than the
average for the fiscal year ended
July /, 1905, the year of the last
Presidential election, which was GER
tainly not regarded as a poor year IN
the railroad or industrial world. The
net rel from traffic allowing for
all operating expenses, including in
creased wages and cost of material in
the fiscal year ending in 1908, is $37
per mile per month greater than in
the year 19O4-O5. The net monthly
revenu for this fiscal year Is thus
far 81 less per mile than for the pre-
ceding veal 1906-07, which may be
taken as high water mark thus far in
the history of the United States"
The Interview which drew the
above comment is as follows:
New York City.-James j.. Hill,
who has arrived in this city, says of
business conditions: while l cannot
permit myself to be too optimistic. l
am trying not to be pessimistic. The
general recovery in business when
has been predicted has not yet mani
tested itself to any remarkable de-
gree, and it is not to be expected that
it should. The prevailing conditions
were not brought about overnight;
they are the result of events Of many
months, and a revival will no doubt
be correspondingly gradual"

because they were engaged IN more
profitable employment and work
more to their liking. Furthermore,
they do not care to associate with the
motley gangs that usually go to make
up the repair squads. Now that many
men are out Of employment it is
hoped by railroads to get a larger
percentage of Americans, who admit
tedly are the best workmen in the
world. Formerly forty per cent. OF
the laborers employed in the spring
work were Italians on roads between
the seaboard and the Rocky Mount
aims. West of the mountains, espe-
cially on the Hill lines, Japanese
were employed. In the southwest
Mexicans, Indians and Italians pre-
dominate, but everywhere there have
been many Greeks, Slavs, Poles, Huns
and other nationalities. Because OF
the financial stringency. many thou
sands OF these have departed for Eu-
rope. Now it. is hoped to get the
work done by Americans.

This is the opinion expressed here by
leading railroad men. The wages
range from $3.50 to $3.50 a day, in
Guiding good board and transporta-
ton. Within the next sixty days the
railroads must find 100000 men to
repair roads, bridges, furnish up sag
ging tracks, build extensions and mai
the shops. The ravages Of the Win
ter months have left much work to
be done, and it must be done speed
lily, for the railway managers admit
they see many signs Of improving
business and must have their. lines
and equipment in condition to care
for it.
