FREIGHT THAT IS UNIUckY.
Railroads Obliged to Pay Out Millions
 Every Year fer Damages.


 T is said that the amount paid out b,' the roads of the United States in 1907 for freight claims was s24 900 900. These claims originate from various causes, such as defective cars. care less employees and incorrect classifi- cation. but one agent says that on his road improper handling is responsible for about = per cent. of money paid out for freight claims.
 Another feature contributing very largely to the amounts We pay out for less and damage" said the claim agent, ''is defective cars. Our rules say that each agent must inspect the cars. Now the term inspocticn covers multitude of features. It does not mean that the running gear of the car only is to be inspected but it means that We want to satisfy our selves that the body of the car and the roof of the car are tight enough to carry the load without damage by water.
 T have in my mind certain agent at four loading station whom found on top of a box car. and in TO sponse to my inquiry as to what he was doing mp there he advised me he was examining the roof-and I want to say that agent has been promoted becanse he was the proper link in the chain. I have in mind claim pre- sented for damage to four by water where the agent declared positively that the inspection had been properly made, but the defects in that roof apparent at the terminal point indicat' ed old breaks and that the car was not fit for flour loading. This he may have considered a small matter. but 1t cost the company $275."

Noticeable improvement Hss Seen
 Made Within Few Years.

4 steady improvement in the faclli- ties for travel on English railroads in the last ten or . dozen years is re- vesled in an elaborate review of this years service by Engineering. The ad- vances include an increase in the number of trains making long runs without a stop. the general use of res taurant cars and operation at higher speeds than were formerly deemed safe and practicable.
 The most notable gains in speed are observed in comparatively short runs. Anything like 56 or 57 miles an hour for a greater distance than 25 miles was almost unknown in England in 1895. Now it is sustained or sur passed regularly on four different lines. One, the Caledonian. has three trains daily which travel 8 miles at a rate ranging from 5T to 61 miles an hour The Great Northern operates the same number of trains for 90 miles at the rate of 5e miles an hour, and the London & Northwestern and the Great Western each has IA regular trains daily which maintain this speed, the former for l02 miles and the latter for l25 miles. A good many American expresses, on straight and level sections of track, equal or surpass these performances for con- siderable portions Of their regular serv. ice. Indeed. spurts at the rate of 65 or 70 miles an hour are not uncommon In this country. Still. the difference is small, and for short distances it must be admitted that the new records in England are elose to the best achievements fin the United States.
 Ten years ago expresses from Lon don to Edinburgh ana Glasgow covered 400 miles at rate slightly exceeding 90 miles an hour. In the figures sup. piled by Engineering there is no indi- cation of the gains made by tEa east coast and west coast lines in the mean time, though it is safe to say that there has been an appreciable improve. ment. One of the most remarkable regular runs made on the Great West. ern, hc-e--.-, is sc- 2 distance of 2ea miles. It ic aecompiishe at the rate of 56 miles an hour and without a stop. As the Twentieth Century Linn. ited of the New York Central from New York city to Chicago travels more than four times as far t977 miles) in 1.0s0 minutes and maintains an aver. age speed of 5t mics an hour. it is fair to. claim the lols-distance honors for America.

A COPPER STAKE.

I. c. kdaas of the territorial fair commission has started the ball roll. ing for the territorial fair in the cap. ital city. He is asking for contribu- tions to what is to be known as the Copper Stake" for the racing event at the annual fair next fall. It was first proposed to make this stake SIG, 900 as an inducement which will bring the fastest torses in the coun- try to the Arizops fair this year. In two days Mr. Adams has secured S260o in Phoenix and has not com pletely covered the city in his solic- itation It is now believed that il will be an easy matter to raise this stake to s15,o00 which would be the largest racing stake ever offered at any state fair in the west. Comment. ing on this coming event of the terri. torial fair the Arizona Republican sa,s:
 'As an advertisement of Arizona there is none which is likely to pro. duce such early and direct results as one which sets horsemen all the way between the Atlantic and Pacific to talking. The talk will be carried over all the racing circuits of the country this summer and early fall. A Sf0.000 stake is one which very few state fairs put up A si5.0O0 or $20.000 stake. such as the Copper Stake is likely to grow into is un- heard of in state fairs. But If this one should be completed only to s10,- 900. it. with the regular stakes which will be put up by the association. will far exceed the offering for harness races that will be made by any state fair in the country.
 ''qhe impression will certainly be conveyed broadcast that Arizona is considerably more of country than it had been thought to be"

do this none will arrive at the age Of
Fl years without having enough to
take them through college or give
them good start in life.
Mr.. Saucerman is reputed to be
worth $1.50O.00O. The new organiza-
ton he is perfecting to help boys is
to be known as THE Trimmer Band"
To demonstrate his earnestness he has
deposited in the name of THE Trim
mer Band" $1,000, which is drawing
interest.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Saucer
man is to take boys from the age of
nine to 16 and organize them into
plants or companies of so or 100. He
would have these boys hold monthly
meetings at which time they would
discuss and be taught economy,
finance and how to earn morey, clean
living and everything in line with in.

ing the club will receive ST.. The boy
must deposit with his dollar SO cents,
to show good faith. Starting his bank
account with $3.50. each boy will re-
ceive one penny per day for three
years. and at the end of that period

will give them $12 II they have not

Boggs was shown the printing plant
again. and again asked to see the stock
of paper. This was shown to him, and
there was enough of 1t to have made
millions of dollars II 1t had only been
the real article. Boggs seemed salts
Ned, Gut he wanted to see few bills
printed. Hank was up a stump here,
but he explained that his printer was
at the bedside of a dying mother and
there was no telling when he would
report for duty again and he, Hank,
knew as little of the art as a new born
babe.
Boggs had surreptitiOusly appro-
priated a corner of one of the sheets of
paper. and that night. at his room. he
compared it with the material of one
of his own bills, and he saw that 4
was quite different in texture, nor was
there a suspicion of silk thread in 1t
that he could find. He knew by this
that he was dealing with real crooks,
and he set about to circumvent them.
On the occasion of his former pur-
chase he had held on to his money
until the other was in his pocket, and
he figured that he could work 1t again,
SO as soon as the bank opened next
morning he bought $4,000 of New
York exchange and forwarded it by
registered mail to his home bank
Next he bought two pairs or hand
cuffs at sporting goods house, bot
tie of liquor. and some drugs. How he
knew what drugs to buy no one ever
learned, but Boggs was crafty scoun-
drel, and it is said that he was many
things other than a simple farmer be-
fore he made his advent into the quiet
Louisiana parish where he had grown
rich by stealing timber. Neverthe-
less, he secured the right sort of thing,
and he dosed the bottle with enough
of 1t to send 90 men into dreamless
sleep, if the half-pint had been dis
tributed among SO many.
That night he met Hank according
to appointment, and was conducted

from which they were printed and the
priSting plant. This was something
that Hank hadn't counted on. He said
1t was impossible, but Boggs was as
adamant and refused to invest a dollar
unless they showed him. Hank agreed
to do so the next day, and during the
nigts he bought small hand-press
and some ink and had half-tone plates
made of both sides of the three de-
nominations of the bills that he was
purporting to have in such profusion,
tens. twenties and fifties. He figured
that Boggs wouldn't know the differ
ence between a half-tone plate and a
steel plate. There was one matter he
overlooked, and that was the paper on
which to print his bills.
Boggs was conducted with great
secrecy, to the printing plant which.
as matter of fact. was on the floor
above the room where the profusion
of money was displayed He examined
everything infinitely and expressed his
satisfaction with everything. Then he

ing learned somehow that government
bills were printed on a specially pre-
pared paper. Here he seemed to have
Hank. but that gentleman was ready
for the emergency. He regretted ex.
ceedingly that his paper supply was
exhausted. Indeed, he said, it was a
specially prepared paper, and his con-
federates were then engaged in manu-
featuring a large quantity of it, but 1t
would not be ready for use for some
two or three weeks.
This seemed TO satisfy Boggs for
the time. but he wanted to see the
paper being made. Hank was stumped
here for fair and had to decline, say
ing the process was so secret that
even he had never visited the place.
Boggs accepted this explanation to all
appearances. but as a matter of fact
he was not satisfied in his own mind
His suspicion was aroused to the last
degree and he made n resolution to

hea0y.
Nevertheless, he invested 500 in
the money, part OF the 5000 he had
secured in having the four bills
changed, getting for it $1,000, which
he counted with great care, examining
each bill as 1t was handed over to him.
Hank had carelessly thrust bundle
containing a thousand dollars at
Boggs, but the farmer had united 1t
and looked at every bill on both sides
before he paid over the 800 agreed
upon. He returned to his swamps and
passed the money with so little DIM
Guilty that he soon wrote Hank and
take his entire stock and trade. This
was what Hank had been playing for
and he counted on getting his 81 100
back and a lot more besides.
He made preparations accordingly,
drawing out of the bank some $45, 900,
the net proceeds of his years of swim
ding. and laying in a stock of paper
that he thought would fool the farmer.
He had grip built especially for this
tlahodttiohr al ingenious
with false bottom. The grip was a
plain alligator handbag and in the
deviltry of its construction 1t was a
work of art. Hank knew that he
couldn't palm off bundles of green pa
per, veneered with bills, on the shrewd
farmer, and he didn't have much faith
in switching grips on him. His plan
was to let the farmer place the bills in
the grip while it stood on table. The
bills dropped through a hole in the
table and down through pipe to the
room below where they were caught
in a basket and brought up to Hank
by his confederate as they were need
ed, for Hank had to make his $4,000
serve for 100000.
Boggs arrived in due time, and he
had with him, as Hank had taken the
precaution to learn from Boggs' own
