Are Probing Lumber Trust.

Chicago.-A government investiga-
ton of conditions in the lumber in
dustry, looking toward the prosecu-
ton of the so-called lumber trust, .
has begun before a special grand
jury ins the federal District Court.
Three Chicagoans, Henry A. Sellan,
vice president of sash and door com
pany; Harry B. Munger, president OF
a door company, and George ]. Pope,
vice president of a lumber concern,
were the first to testify.
Coincident with the opening of the
inquiry, Oliver E. Pagan, government
Indictment expert, reached here and
began a study of the evidence said to
have been gathered by special agents.
The case is based on the theory that
the Lumber Dealers Association and
companies form a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade. The inquiry will af-
feet only organizations of the Middle
West, South and Wst.

ACCOUNTS FOR LATE TRAINS
That 1t Is Not Always the Railroads
Fault Is Proved by Few
Reasons.

Every traveller on any railroad who
has walked up and down the plat
forms of a station waiting for a de-
layed train has wondered why the
trains were late. No wreck was re-
ported and the agent could not tell
why the train was not there on time
OF course the wrecks of freight
trains, occasional wrecks of passen-
ger trains, broken rails, high water
and soft track caused by heavy rains
make up most of the causes for train
delays as shown by the reports to the
general superintendent's Offices of the
system. But there are lot of other
causes for train delays that never get
into print.
Here is list of some of the things
that delay passenger trains:
Woman fainting just as train pulled
out.
Hysterical women at funerals.
Balky horses that decided to balk
just as they were crossing the tracks.
Injuries to trainmen
Dying child.
Helping aged and crippled women
and men on and off trains
Every one of these reasons has
been reported time and again In the
last few months.

the greatest improvement in condi-
ton during the year will get premi-
um of $100, while a premium of $50
will be given the foreman of the Sec

provement.
The inspection and award will be
made by three committees, one for
each general managers district. These
committees will be composed of the
engineer of maintenance Of way and
four superintendent. Two inspections
will be made annually, says the Rail
way Age Gazette, one before the sea-
son for track work opens and the Sec
ond at it's close This plan will be put
into operation at once on fifteen diff
ferent groups of subdivisions, and will
be extended to other parts of the sys-
tenn as fast as conditions warrant.
Probably in no other branch of the
railway service does the inefficiency
of labor cost so much as in the track
department. 1t is universally conced-
ed that the quality of track labor has
been steadily deteriorating in intelli-
gence and efficiency for many years,
and the railways, generally speaking,
have done but little to combat the
tendency. The system of awarding
prizes to the individual foremen whose
work shows the greatest improve
ment for given period is perhaps the
best known and most widely adopted
method yet tried.
The Pennsylvania and the New York
Central have followed this policy for
many years. Among other roads fol
lowing the same general policy are
the Queen and Crescent and the Union
Pacific medals being awarded by the
latter road. The Santa Fe began an
experiment year ago with the bonus
system for road masters, foremen and
laborers, whereby the saving in main
tenance charges is shared with these
men.
The Union Pacific has established
educational courses for track laborers,
foreign as we'll as native, a special
course having been prepared for its
large number of Japanese laborers.
Such plans tend to stimulate efficiency
by appealing to the men themselves.

New Saving for the Railroads.

Some of the British railroads have
been experimenting In the recovery
of lubricating oil from the cotton
waste used in the journal boxes of car
and locomotive trucks The result of
the experiments promise new source
of conservation in railroad operation.
John Schaffer as an authority, TAX
ing total of 10,249,462 of these jour
nal boxes as a basis, submits that
each of these journals will consume 80
gallons of oil in year. AS contain
er for the oil, each journal box re-
quires about five pounds of cotton
waste tamped in. Naturally in the
course of time this waste becomes fill
ed with flying sand and grits and dust
and must be emptied, repacked. and
again saturated.
Taking 80 pounds of discarded waste
in all states of saturation, Mr.. Schaf-
fer put the waste under press,
squeezed it dry of oil, and recovered
from it seven gallons and one quart
of clarified oil. Assuming that eight
gallons of oil may be saved from each
100 pounds of this packing waste, Mr.
Schaffer says that British railroads
might save 4,097,7S4 gallons of oil
yearly, valued at $1.350,000.

TAFT OPPOSES
ANY CHANGE
WOOL TARIFF MUST STAND UN
TIL AFTER INVESTIGATION
is MADE.
STATEHOOD FIGHT ON
PRESIDENT WILL NOT INTER
FERE WITH ARIZONA AND
NEW MEXICO.

Washington-Several Western sena-
tors recently have made it known that
President Taft is positively opposed to
legislative change in regard to the
wool tariff during the special session
of Congress and before the tariff
board renders report covering it's
investigation of the wool-growing
business of the country and its COM
parison with the wool-growing busi-
ness of other countries coming into di-
rect competition with the United
States.
1t is intimated in fact that the Presi-
dent has said he would not approve
any radical reduction in wool tariff
rates if such measure should be
passed prior to the report of the tariff
board.
1t is confidently believed, therefore,
that regardless of the action the House
may take upon the Underwood bill
there will be no legislation at this
special session or before the tariff
board reports upon wool, which will
make any material change in schedule
K, the wool tariff schedule.
President Taft will not interfere in
the statehood fight in the Senate.
New Mexico and Arizona people who
are anxious to secure statehood by the
passage of the amendments proposed
in the bill passed by the House have
been seeking to sound the President
as to whether he will veto the bill.
The belief now prevails, based upon
remarks made by the President, that
he will not veto the bill, but he will
not interfere for or against it in the
Senate. The President is not so high
ly pleased with the bill as it passed
the House, owing to the opportunity it
gives to the people of Arizona to ratify
their proposed recall of the judiciary,
but he is not disposed to stop the ad-
mission of the two territories by a
veto of the bill now before Congress.
Governor Curry and others who
wish to work for the passage of the
bill did not care to waste time doing
so if the President was hostile to the
u6dSuI0.
George B. Trip, chairman of the
Colorado Springs anniversary celebra-
tion committee, who came here in the
interest of the Springs show during
the week of July 31st, has been as
sured that the committee can have as
many Southern Ute Indians as de-
sired.
The War Department cannot state
what troops will be available, owing
to the Mexican maneuvers, but troops
are assured. Mr.. Tripp has already Sc
cured q proposition from the Wright
brothers for a two-day flight of two or
more airships, but will go to Dayton,
Ohio, and see Curtiss before closing
contract.
Representative Taylor will introduce
a bill to grant Colorado an additional
million acres of land for disposition
under the Carey desert land act. I'm
der the terms of the original act, the
state was granted a million acres, and
a second million is now desired.
