FIRST BASEMENT IN
ROSWELL FOUND DRY
AS ADMINISTRATION
Especial Correspondence TO Morning Journali


Roswell, N. NJ. oct. 15.-It was al
ways thought that cellar could not
be successfully built between the two
hills in Roswell until last night when
the electric pump that was keeping the
new basement under ,he new $25,-
goo addition to the Citizens National
bank dry was stopped ana basement
was found as watcr-tight as a
jug. The electric pump had becn
"a half weeks. a basement was built
in two layers, each layer being the
thickness of an ordinary foundation
and made OF concrete reinforced with
twisted steel. Between these two walls
was inserted heavy layer of heav-
ily tarred paper The floor was made
in the same way. being eighteen Inches
thick and reinforced with steel. All
this precaution is necessary on ac-
count Of the sub-irrigaton In the low
er part of the city. Ii IS the first

in rates on certain classes and COM
modities east of the Mississippi river
and upon but very few west of the
Mississippi to the Missouri; and that
therefore our remedy should have
been directed to the disease and not
to suppositional conditions which
might exist later on at points west of
the Missouri river.
Furthermore il is not at all GER
tain that there might not in equity
need to be some increases in some of
the rates east of the Mississippi river.
For, is it not as reasonable to sup
pose that the rate to Kansas city from
the east is a trifle too low as it Is to
suppose that the rate from Kansas
City to the west is about two and one
half times too high?
Competition.
"In the east some years ago there
was competition of the most grinding
sort. In the west there was little COM
petition. As a result there was under
rating in the east. due to this compe-
tition, and over-rating i'm the west,
due to the lack of II. The railroads
made the west stand the burden of
loss in the east.
And the rates established at that
time have stayed. That is the reason
why. for example. the rate on paper
for 600 miles from Wisconsin points
to Kansas City is 20 cents per 1O0
pounds. and why on the same com
modify for an additional haul of 225
miles from Kansas City to Wichita il
is 2S cents per 100 pounds
In other words. is IL not sane and
sensible to suppose that there ought
to be revision upward where former
cut-thrOat competition got rates too
low. and q revision where by reason
Of lack Of competition the rates have
remained too high.
After giving the matter careful
consideration 1t would seem that VIC
have reached the point in history of
rate making where We must throw off
legal technicalities and forms and get
down to an exercise Of common sense

business Better.

Chicago, Oct. 12.--Business with
western railroads is large in volume
and exceeds last years. Traffic Of
ficials believe that even at the max
imum of the fall rush of business
there will be no blockades nor gem
eral scarcity of cars and motive
power, as has frequently happened in
previous years. as the railroads have
more equipment than ever before,
and are in shape to move mater
tally larger tonnage than is at hand
at present or in immediate prospect.
There is no surplus of ears on the
western or southwestern railroads,
and traffic Is fairly balanced between
east and west bound.
