The Ann Arbor Railroad at the pres
ent time is using large quantity Of
d. T. & /. rolling stock especially en-
gines, while the Ann Arbor's own
engines, some of them, are boarded
up and standing on side tracks be-
cause of the expense which would be
incurred in repairing them. !
Now that the ID. L. & |. is pinched
for rolling-stock, it naturally will
call in the engines leased to the Ann
Arbor. This will mean that the Ann
Arbor will have to repair its engines
nthe local shops. The demands of
the freight service are great and
undoubtedly the shops will soon go
back to ten hours day to keep UP
with those demands.

HOW JUNCTION DOES IT.
Merchants Have a Close Association
for Business.

The Junction City commercial club
had its annual meeting yesterday and
this from the Union tells something
Of the workings Of the organization:
Once a year a rating book Is Is
ued, which now has the name Of
every man and woman in the city
and county who ever asked for cred
1t. and 4 merchant can tell in an In
slant whether the person asking for
credit is reliable or not. The book
is not only reference that is at hand
however. Since the organization has
grown and become one Of power, be.
fore a person can secure credit at
one store he has got to pay up his
bills at the other stores.
The dead beat who trades at one
store until his credit is exhausted and
then leaves the merchant and trades
elsewhere, is about a thing Of the
past in this city, and at the meeting
last evening plans we're MADE to
handle a few Of the remaining cases
Of that kind.
1t was mighty interesting to those
present last evening to hear how a
few of the people in this community
had been forced to pay or move and
the strings will be drawn tighter
than ever in the future.
The committee which for the past
year has been in charge Of the Anti
Graft Association made a very inter
esting report. During the past year
over a thousand dollars have been
paid out to worthy business propo-
sitions and charitable institutions.
During this time the secretary Of the
committee has kept record OF the
number Of grafters that have been
turned down. and the amount thas
each would have received from the
merchants Of the city, which showed
that nearly $1,000 have been saved
he local merchants IN the past year
from graftsrs. TIE report Of the com
mittee was very interesting Nnd
,hoved what could be done By the
Merchants II they stood together and
acted IN union.

All efforts to reopen the mine and

This was disappointing to the mine

made all preparations for fighting the

bringing fire fighting apparatus is on
the way here under direction OF
James Koran, chief Of the Chicago fire
department.
Twenty thousand gallons Of water
are waiting at the mine and more is
on the way.
Patent extinguishers have been pro
cured, and as soon as the shaft can be
opened the fight against the flames
will be undertaken. Among the ex-
tinguIshers are chemicals to produce
carbonic acid gas, which viii smother
fire and also life.
Judging from the temperature at the
surface, James Taylor, mine inspector,
declared that the heat at the bottom
Of the shaft must be intense. AS there

heat comes from within the mine, 800
feet below the surface. The smell of
gas is apparent near the shaft, and
this appears to indicate that the flames

grief-stricken wives gathered about
