AMERICA SPECULATION MAD
Bankers Fear That Serious Trouble
May Sometimes Result.

Columbus, O.-Fears that trouble
would one day strike the United States
as a result of the present excessive
speculation ana that American cities
and states might before long reach
bankruptcy from extraordinary eX-
penditures were expressed by former
Gov. Myron r. Herrick at the conve
ton of the Ohio Bankers Association
Monday.
Col. Herrick intimated that the time
may come when cities will have no
credit with the bankers if they per-
sist in extravaganza. He said that in
the past few years the expenses of the
national government have been doub-
led and the expenses of municipalities
have been tripled, while the wealth OF
the country shows no corresponding
increase.

man Manufacturing Company, now the
West Pullman Car Company, $750,0O0;

of investigation by the railroad com
pany and numerous JUNIORS of an al
legged graft ring" in the Illinois Cen
trail railroad.

partment heads alleges that the men
entered into a conspiracy in June,

FXW HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered a new use for billy
goats and every day at half a
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
DOOM. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than % consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and prOvender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation Of a band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has a flock of goats,
each individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
a dozen men could do in twice the
time.
When the 28-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
1t necessary to build big feeding yards
st numerous points along its line-in
fact, these yards were installed about
every % miles from end to end Of the
son that railroad brings hundreds Of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges Of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho. Oregon, Montana. California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
sheep be ~unloaded, fed and watered.
and then reloaded every % hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. LAS timid as a sheep" is a
proverb. and it's truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
If the sheep are in the stock cars
1t is a big job to get them out. Efforts
Of the attendants to get them to leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch crowding up in one end and re-
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
it was even necessary that each indi-
vidual sheep be actually lifted up and
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 2S-hour limit
expired in the dead of night, when the
sheep were all lying asleep on the
floor of the car. At such times it vas
almost impossible to unload except by
the hand method. At times half an
hour was consumed In unloading a sim
gle car.
after the sheep were fed and wa
tered came the reloading, and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found it necessary to
maintain a large force of men at
each feeding station, it being found
more economic to do this than to
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading a train. This cost money,
and lots of it, but there seemed no
means of avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
to infict a 500 fine every time a car
of sheep was not fed and watered
every % hours. Employing the men
was cheaper than fines.
