portant new transcontinental line eX-
tending from Denver to Salt Lake.
1t is contended in certain quarters
that Midland agencies are being re-
established by the Burlington in order
to start some genuine competition with
the Rio Grande. Rumors of attempts
by the Burlington to buy the Rio
Grande's share in the Midland have
been current Of late, but it is not
known whether this has been accom-
plished. Neither is it a certainty
that Kuhn-Loeb people have obtained
control of the Rio Grande, although it
is contain that the Rio Grande's Gould
sister, the Missouri Pacific, is now in
the hands of the Hartman people.

TRADE STILL IMPROVES.
Strength Lies in Low Stocks of Goods
and Large Stocks of Money.
Naw York March II -Dun'S Review

New York, March 11.-Dun's Review
says:
The moderate improvement in indus
trial and trade conditions since the be-
ginning of the year continues. Two
existing low stocks of merchandise and
large stock of money.
Certain developments have caused a
more conservative feeling in iron and
steel, although evidences of improve
include further increase in untitled
ducers and an expansion of $4,000 tons
in the output of pig iron in February
the first gain reported In nearly o
year.
Current advices from leading pig
iron centers indicate somewhat quieter
conditions at Chicago and Pittsburg,
but more activity in other directions
and some price advance are noted on
deliveries extending beyond the first
half of the year. In the rail division
recent contracts have aggregated close
to 10000 tons with 10000 tons for ex-
port to Manila, and it is expected that
considerable business will be received
from Canada owing to the soldup con-
dition of the mills in that country.
Business in the primary dry goods
markets continues generally in restrict
ed volume and curtailment of opera
tons in mill centers is still large. In
spots trade is good and distributors
are able to move merchandise in small
lots, although price concessions are
common in cotton goods.

PoRTERs FOR CHAIR CARS.
Another Scheme to Make Passengers
Lose Their 'TFjps.''

Lose Their Ups.
Another innovation in the service Ill
the passenger trains on the Southern
Pacific has been announced by the pas
senger department, In order to better
look after the comfort and convert
ence of the passengers on the Southern
Pacific chair car porters have been adj
ded. Heretofore there have been
porters only on the standard and tour
list sleepers.
The duties of the new chair car por-
tiers will be TO look after the general
comfort of the passengers. The porters
will assist passengers on and off the
trains. see that the cars are always
in neat condition, properly lighted and
ventilated, well supplied with towels

The putting of chair car pofters
is a distinct innovation in western
railroad circles and is expected to
prove a successful experiment, both
from the standpoint of the road and OF
the patrons.

AUTOMOBILE FREIGHT CARS.
New Double Deck Equipment for Har.
riman Roads

New Double Deck Equipment for Har-
riman Roads
The latest thing in freight transpor-
tation cars is a double-deck car built
exclusively for carrying automobiles.
Owing to the great demand for a spe-
cial type of car in which to haul auto
mobiles the Hartman roads have or
dered 1000 of the new design, and yes
terday the first one of them arrived in
Los Angeles.
The car is 40x1O feet on the inside,
that size having been prescribed by the
automobile shippers themselves, and is
built with two floors with double end
doors. About ten machines of the
smaller type can be put into one of
these new freight cars, while six to
eight of the larger automobiles can be
carried. In the case of light machines,
the upper layer is hung from the roof
Of the car, made fast to the sides and
carried securely.

Into their stone-carved basins cold
The splashing icy fountains play
The humid corridors behold
Where ghost-like in the deepening night,
Cowled forms brush by In cleaning white
The chapel, where no organs peal
Invests the stern and naked prayer,
With penitential airs they kneel
And wrestle; rising then, with bare
And white uplifted faces stand,
Passing the host from hand to hand;
Each takes. and then his visage wan
Is buried in his cowl once more,-
The cellsl-the suffering Son of Man
Upon the wall,-the knee-worn floor
And where they sleep, that wooden bed
Which shall their coffin be- when dead;-
The library, where tract and tome
Not to feel priestly pride are there,
To hymn the conquering pride Of Rome,
Nor yet to amuse, as ours are,-
They paint of souls the inner strife,
Their drops Of blood, their death in life;-

See, fragrant herbs are Towering there,
Strong children OF the alpine wild
Whose culture is the brothers care;

And cheerful works beneath the sun.
