WILL NOT ABANDON
FOURTH ST. Line

A rumor to the effect that the Trac
ton Company contemplated taking
up and abandoning the line of road
running from Main street out Fourth
street was Investigated with the re.
suit that the rumor was a hoax.
While it is probable that the line
will not be used in the immediate flu.
ture, the Traction Company has no
intention of abandoning this section
of the road, and it is thought proba.
BILE that cars will be run on Fourth
street within short time after the
other lines are operating.
Work on he new power house is
progressing nicely, the trolley is
strung over all the lines, and it is
reasonably believed that the cars will
be running within the very near fu-
ture.
No definite settlement has as yet
been made with the Northeastern rail-
road in the matter of the crossing at
Second avenue, but the Traction Com
pany officials have no doubt of a
satisfactory disposition Of the matter
and in the meantime the work is go
ing along as nicely as could be hoped
for.

REVENUE AGENTS
ARE DISMISSED

WASHINGTON, July S-Seventecn
inspectors and four revenue agents
on the denatured alcohol rolls of the
internal revenue bureau have been
dismissed because their services are
no longer needed.
1t is explained that the eXpecta-
ton that denatured alcohol would
make rapid strides in supplanting gas
oline as a motive power for small
farm engines, automobiles, ETC., has
been disappointing, first, because the
engines now in use are not adapted
to alcohol, and second, because of it's
comparatively high cost of manufac-
ture by present methods. Consider
able progress in its utilization in Ger
tain classes of manufacture is, how
ever, apparent, notably in the produc-
ton of celluloid, ether, gunpowder
and as a solvent for paints, varnishes
and the like and to slight degree ar.
tificial light. In many cases 1t has
taken the place of wood alcohol.
But so far as any direct benefit to
the farmer is concerned, the removal
of the tax of $1.10 gallon on dena-
tured alcohol has been up to this
time inconsequential. 1t was expect
ed by the friends of the measure in
removing the tax that low grade po-
tatoes, corn stalks and other cheap
products and by-products of the farm
could be utilized in the production
of denatured alcohol that could sue,
cessfully compete in large and grow
ing field with gasoline and other min
eral oils but little progress in that d.
rection has yet been made. The to-
tai production of denatured alcohol
in the United tates during 1908 was
S,321,451 wine gallons and in 1909
about 100000 gallons.
