HALEY Comet COmirU

The HALEY comet is expected to ap-
pear in the sky early in September
It's last appearance was in 1885. 1t
is computed to be within the orbit of
the planet Jupiter, and rushing to-
ward the orbit of the earth at the rate
of million miles a day This comet
has been captured by the solar sys-
TEN, so the theory runs, having
originated outside but wandered SO
near as to fall under the influence of
its attraction. The momentum of the
comet carries it far out into the
regions of space, but the attraction
which has changed its course compels
its return. The great observatory of
the University Of Chicago, at Will
liams Bay, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin,
which is the gathering place this sum
mer of a notable group OF men in
terested in astronomy, is one of the
eeries where a viligant lookout is
maintained, and may be the first from

the railway people to take care of the
heavy grain tonnage this fall. If the
situation is fairly met, the railways
must also recognize the purchasing
power of the people of the west and
provide means, not only for a heavy
passenger traffic, but for an unpre-
cedented movement of merchant Sc
and all other classes of freight.
These conditions have been met by
the management of the North West
ern Line in the most liberal way, and
in addition to the passenger equip
ment above described they have pur-
chased within the past twelve months
5000 freight cars, modern type and
capacity, which it is said will in
crease the carrying capacity per mile
of road fully fifteen per cent. The
North Western policy has always
been maintained above the average
capacity, and, while other roads have
about seven cars to the mile, the
Chicago & North Western now has
an equipment of eight cars to each
mile of road operated by the COM
pany. In addition to the freight car
equipment, orders have also been
placed for fifty heavy freight engines,
each of which has a hauling capacity
forty per cent greater than that of
the largest type now in use on the
line.
Much attention has been accorded
by the North Western management
to the public's demand for a maxi
vices and the liberal policy which
has been pursued in matters of this
kind is shown in the extensive
amount of automatic safety signal
work that has been done and in the
purchase of new steel, fire-proof pas

North Western management in pur-
