SIX MORE TRAINS
q. & o.. Railroad to Increase psssen-
ger Service Between Pittsburg,
Washington and New York.

The Clarksburg News has the fol
lowing to say regarding a change that
may be made in the passenger train
service on the b. & O. in the near
future.
1T is rumored that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company will in a
short time run a new passenger train
between New York and st. Louis.
Should this be true the eastbound and
westbound trains win meet here about
$50 a. m. and will afford excellent
Accommodations for all who desire to
travel in either direction.
"An attempt to verify the report
proved f~ruitless, but enough is known
to warrant the statement that the ar
rangements for such a train are prac-
tieally completed.
"For many years there has been q
great demand from the travelling pub
lilo for such a train. And yielding to
this request the officials after careful
ly considering the matter, are now
preparing to make a test and should
the train prove profitable it will be
permanently established"
Two More Trains.
It is also reported, on what is said
to be good authority that two addi-
tional trains will be put on between
Pittsburg and he east when the new
schedule goes into effect. One will be
operated between Washington and
pittsburg and the other between New
York and Pittsburg. The one will run
ahead of No. 5 and the other ahead
of No. 8. Returning one will come
through following No. 10 and the
other following No. 6.
The addition of these six trains will
give Martinsburg much better facili'
ties than heretofore, in the way Of
passenger service. The express train
recently put on between New York
and st. Louis does not carry passen.
gers, but it is understood that the new
trains will be added to the passenger
service.

County Commissioners Plans for

of Funds Interesting.

y the seventh annual session of
county commissioners and other
county officials of the state. who
have been in session the past two
days at Fort Wayne. that OF the
county commissioners was most I'M
portant. The question of best how
to build and conserve the road tax
and apply such moneys TO the best
advantage for all concerned through
out the state was discussed. n We
hicle tax on all automobiles and car
riages was advised. as well as all
road taxes to be paid INTO the coun-
~ treasury and all road construc-
tiOn TO be built on correct principles
under the Supervision of competent
men.
The plan of corporations employ
inc men at a discount TO work out
their road taxes to be abolished en-
tirely was one of the main features
under consideration. 1t was shown
that counties are beaten out of thou
sands of dollars of good practical
work. that if properly applied on our
public roads would i'll the end keep
them up to to the proper standard of
usefulness. These annual gatherings
are of great benefit to the state and
in the end will accomplish much

Our Swamp Lands.

Much of the most valuable land in
northern Indiana was considered al
most worthless thirty years ago.
Several of the finest farms now in
Marshall county sold for less than
ten dollars an acre fifteen years ago.
Some of the onion land near Nap
panee, now worth three hundred
dollars per acre sold for three dol
lars per acre twenty years ago.
S. c. Schilling of Culver says:
About % years ago my brother
and L bought over 900 acres of
swamp north OF Hamlet for about
$50 an acre. Nine years ago
sod 115 acres of it for $50 an acre.
and this summer the same piece was
sold for $125 an acre. Drainage has
converted the swamp into as fine
farming land as can be found any,

weather is drawing them in droves
and regiment to seek the warm in

they apparently more numerous but
they are also much more dangerous.
During the prevalency of typhoid
fever at this season of the year the
flies are brought into continual con-

Increased Use of Cement.

More cement was made and used III
the United States in 1910 than In
any proceeding year and the price
per barrel was lower than ever be-
fore. The production in 1908 was
o2,9lO,925 barrels, valued at $44,477,-
655; the production in 1909 was 64,-
l96,3S6 barrels, valued at SOL ,232, 979
The increase was mainly in the
output of Portland cement-62. 50S,-
46l barrels, valued at $50,51O,3 1856, as
against 5l,072,612 barrels in 1908,
valued at 1881, $40. The output of
natural and pnzzolan cement formed
only small percentage of the total
cement production.
The average price of Portland ce-
ment per barrel in 1909 was less than
81 cents; the average price per ber-
rel III 1908 was So cents. Portland
ement cost So barrel in 1880, but,
by reason of improvement in method
of manufacture it can now be profit
ably sold for 80 cents a barrel.
In 1909 there were 103 Portland
cement plants in operation, an in
crease of five over the number work
ing in 1908. OF these plants, 81
were in Pennsylvania, II in Michigan
10 i'll Kansas, in Ohio, z in New
York, 6 in Indiana, ) in Illinois and
) in California.
Most of the cement was used at
only small export trade in cement,
consuming from one to three per cent
of the production. This country's
immense natural resources of cement
making materials and its many we'll
equipped cement plants, however,
should make it strong competitor
for the outside world s cement trade.
