A Fish Out OF Water

Many people think that fish when
taken out OF the water die because air
has a fatal effect on them. The real
reason, however. is that their delicate
gill filaments or membranes become
dry and stick together. so that no air
can pass between them. Thus they
lose the power to imbibe necessary
oxygen, and the circulation Of their
blood stops. The painful gasping Of q
fish out Of water is natures effort to
free the passage through the fla

RAILROADS STOP ALL CONSTRUCTION WORK
They Law Off 10000 Laboers in the Northwestern Doub
About Future -Retrenchment Follows Federal Policy OF
Preventing Advance in Freight Rates

President Howard Elliott issued a
statement giving the reasons for the
action of the railroads. He says:
-Four forces, namely, increased
taxes, increased prices for labor and
material, increased facilities, both in
quantity and quality, and the en-
larged powers of the railway commits
sions, are all working to reduce the
net earnings of railway companies,
so that it seems prudent for boards
of directors and for railway officers
to consider most carefully not only
their duty to the travellers and ship
pers over their roads, but also their
duty to the very large number of peo-
pie whose money is invested in rail-
roads, and the large class of invest
ors to whom the railroads must go II
they are to obtain money for addi-
lions and Improvements and exten-
sions. 1t seems, therefore, the part
of wisdom not to engage in new en-
terprises at the present time and not
to undertake too much railroad work
extension"

st. Paul.-The Pioneer Press says
that the policy of retrenchment,
threatened by the railroads because
of Federal activity in preventing a
proposed increase in freight rates, is
already going into effect Thus far
the policy has meant the discharge of
about 10000 laborers in the North
west. Orders have been received
from headquarters to stop nearly all
new construction work, while plans
for extensions and betterments have
been dropped temporarily.
1t is estimated that the Northern
Pacific has given orders to lay off
$500 men, the Great Northern 5000
and the Chicago and Northern 900.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
discharged between 1000 and 1900
men during the first part of June in
the northern districts alone. For the
present, the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul is not extending the policy OF
retrenchment in the Northwest. The
Santa Fe has laid off 1000 men and
the Rock Island 1900.

NATIVE BEEF ADVANCES.

had been informed that the price OF
native dressed beef might reach thir-
teen cents before the end of the week.
It had been necessary to raise it above
twelve and one-half cents, he said.
Representatives of other large
wholesale houses like Swift e Com
pany and Schwarzschild & SulZberger
were reluctant to admit that tie price
had taken "perceptible" Jump re-
Gently, but said that their best dressed
beef was selling from twelve and one
half to thirteen cents a pound, which,
according to the retailers, is an adj
vance of about two cents.
According to the retail dealers, the
price of lamb, veal and mutton has
been raised to the record mark during
the last few weeks. The rise has
been gradual in most instances, in
order not to place too heavy burden
all at once on the small dealers, some
of them said, adding that Ii the price
continued to go up many would be
forced ont of business.

reached thirteen cents, and in some
cases thirteen and one-half to four
teen cents.
The retailers grumbled at the ad-
vance, but as a prominent Sixth ave-
nue. dealer said: "We have to pay
the price because it prevails in all the
available markets when the big
wholesalers say so, and there Is no
alternative but to accept the explana-
ton which they offer for the rise
The reasons for the advance given
by a number of the large wholesale
firms were that there was light sup
ply to meet an increasing demand for
the best beef and that live cattle were
bringing higher prices in the West. A
representative of the National Pack
ing Company said that its customers
