Washington. D. ca heavier
business than ever has been known I'm
a single year Is looked for by Chair
man Knapp Of the interstate com
MERGE commission f0r American rail
roads during the present fiscal year
The serious situation anticipated
not only by Judge Knapp. but By
other officials Of the commission, and
BY operating railroad men generally.
Is that there may be a shortage OF
cars. The crop prospects are consid-
cred so bright that the likelihood is
the railroad and other transportation
companies may be taxed beyond their
capacities 20 handle the freight that
viii be offered 10 them.
Already, according 20 figures sub
mitted 20 the interstate commerce
commission, the railroads. I'm consider
able numbers, have recovered from
the low business pressure Of a year
and a half ago. and now are handling
almost as much tramc as they handled
IN the rush months OF 1907. which
was the banner year in American rail-
reading.
In the view Of Chairman Knapp. the
carriers are now in better position to
carry the freight offered than they
were IN 1907. and he has said that
Il would not surprise him II that
years record were broken this year.

The COMING ELECTIONS.

The importance of the approaching
election should not be overlooked as
the election of members of the various
town and township officers is of great
Importance. In order that candidates
may get their names on the Republi-
can or Democratic ticket, candidates
must file their petitions with the clerk
of elections not later than August
18th. These petitions must contain
two per cent. of the number of voters
who cast their ballots for their party's
candidate for governor last fall. In
signing petition voter declares his
intention of supporting the candidate
named therein. If there is only one
man to be elected to certain office,
voter cannot sign the petition of more
than one candidate for that Office. He
can only sign as many petitions for
any Office as there are places in that
Office to be filed. The primaries will
be held September 7th.
