CHICAGO MEET REFUSED At.
MOODS Entry.

Atwood's flight bids fair to detract a
lot Of attention from the great aviation
meet now In progress In Chicago. The
management OF that affair would not
accept A,wood's entry. 10 he started on
on a little stunt OF his own. such as no
man ever attempted before.
The aviator's plans do not contem-
plate night flights or extra hazards.
He will take plenty OF rest when he
thinks he needs It. Manager Stevens
has made careful Arrangements to In
sure the presence OF mechanics and a
plentiful supply Of gasoline n lubri-
eating soil at the various stops. The
mechanics will ollow Atwood by train
and In automobiles.
The route chosen by Atwood for his
flight from St. Louis to Springfield lies

OF steam whistles which heralded his
departure from st. Louis rose to gree,

STEEL FOR NEW 1NTERURBAN.

pIeted by Winter.

Manhattan, July 31.-The first steel
for the interurban is here. 1t consists
of switches, frogs and curved rails for
the double track on Poyntz avenue.
eff it were not for the fact that we
are going to build the interurban, we
would not have to install these switches
and double track" said w r. West.

urban"
Trackmen are at work 1eveling track
on Second street. There also Is a gang
at work at the corner Of Second and
Poyntz, making preparations to install
the new curved rails.
According to a statement made by w.
r. West today, it is the intention Of the
street ailway company to have the in
terurban line from Manhattan to Fort
Riley completed before cold weather
sets in next winter. This comes as a
surprise as it was understood that the
line was only to be built to Eureka
Lake this year and extended to the
fort next spring.

North America Leads World in
Railway Mileage.
Average Annual Construction
Is $4,000 Miles.
CAPITAL is ENORMOUS
More Than Half Roads Built
Since Year 1856.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

The recent census OF the railroads OF
the world upon which report has just
been made public shows that there are
625.69S miles of railways in the entire
world. This does not include street
railways, trolley lines and other light
structures. The mileage on each con-
tinent is given as follows: North
America, 277. OILS; Europe, 204, 904; Asia,
61,S00; South America, 1920; Africa,
500, and Australia, 1S,S49.
According to these figures 81 per cent
of the mileage is in the new world.
North America alone has 10000 miles
more than Europe and Asia combined.
which latter two have approximately
1880 000,o 900 population as against 49,
100000 in North America.
More than half the railroads of the
world have been built since 1SS6-an
average of $4,000 miles a year.
The rate Of growth is shown to have
been on the whole comparatively stable
during the latter years. The increase
was 14,144 miles in 1909 and 1880 for
the four years ending in 1909. over
these figures do not adequately show
the enormous consumption of capital,
for in this country of late years, as
well as in Europe, much more has been
expended in improving existing rail-
roads than for additions to mileage.
In Africa there is notable activity In
the older civilized parts of the north
the additions have not been great, but
in the British South Africa union the
recent increase in mileage has been g.
fz9, and it now has more railroads than
any two countries on the continent.
In North America, Canada and Mex
leo have increased their mileage pro-
portionately more than the United
/ States, but the mileage in this country
already was SO great that a small per-
centage made a great amount.
In South America the 1927 miles
added in the last four years is an in
crease Of "a per cent. Central America
and the West Indies are reckoned with
South America. Argentine republic has
more than a third of the railways of

REMARKABLE CROP MOVEMENT
Greatest Number of Cars Ever Hauled
in One Train.

Los Angeles. Cal, July 31.-The
Southern Pacific has practically COM
pleted one of the most remarkable crop
movements in it's history, in the hand
ling of the cantaloupe crop in the I'm
perial valley. The total number of cars
shipped to date amounts to $500, with
about 100 cars additional to move. This
is approximately 900 cars more than
harvested in any season before.
There were 56.000,o00 pounds of ice
used in the field and Yuma, Ariz. 10
take care of these shipments. The big
gest days picking was June IL, when
1873 carloads were harvested. These
cars were hauled from Brawley. the
shipping center, to Imperial Junction
on the main line, in one train, the
length of which was 6,175 feet, consid-
erably more than a mile long
There were 324 crates in each car and
As melons to the crate, or total num-
Der of ID, $50 melons in each car, and in
the train 1,939,140 melons. When
one appreciates the fact that each
of these melons was handled at
least three times, in picking, wrapping
and Grating, they can readily imagine
the army of men necessary in the field
to do this work. This is probably the
greatest number of cars of the same
class loaded with the same products
ever hauled in one train.

A recent illustration was the
advertisement of the KNICK-
ERBOCKER ICE CO., headed
Fair Play for the Iceman." It
occupied nearly three full col
lumns filled with arguments and
figures to show that the Core
pany was not "trafficking in the
sufferings of the multitude of
consumers.
The advertisement followed
an acute attack by the press on
the Ice Company, which had
kept it's affairs so confidential
that it took detectives to find
them out. It was so evidently
an attempt to STEM THE TIDE
OF PUBLIC DISFAVOR that,
as an advertisement, it could not
produce anything like the desir-
ed result.
It would be GOOD BUSINESS
for the Knickerbocker Ice Co.

If the ice company, for in

the year, had demonstrated the
SINCERITY of its effort to sup
ply New York with ice at rea-
sonable cost, and had explained,
when the extremely hot weather
began, that unusual difficulties
were at hand, and had asked
for patience while it did the

Governor Dix Has Made Things Easy
in New York.


New York, July s1.-Governor Dix put
his Q. K. on the legal status of the
game when he affixed his signature TO
the Frawley bill. which permits spar
ring contests of ten rounds duration,
conducted before properly licensed
Clubs Not all the New York sporting
men were In favor of the passage of
the new bill. A great many urged that
1t placed too much power in the hands
of the three members of the commits
sion appointed by the governor, whose
duty it will be to grant or refuse per-
mits to the athletic organization. Every
club giving sparring entertainments
must file a $4,000 bond with the state
comptroller, and 5 per cent of the total
gross receipts from ticket sales goes to
that official as a tax.
1t is all up to the commissioners now.
They will be in a position to say just
how many shows can be staged at GER
tain times, to virtually blacklist any
boxer who INDUCES in crooked work, or
place official ban on promoters suspect
ed of palming off fistic gold bricks on
the public. It seems as though absO-

MORE CARS FOR FALL CROPS.
Missouri Pacific win spend $4,000, 900
for EouiDrnent

New York, July Elm anticipation OF
satisfactory crops, the railroads are
beginning to place substantial con-
tracts for equipment for fall delivery.
The Missouri Pacific has issued a re-
quest for bids for the construction Of
4.435 cars, 1000 all-steel gondola, 1000
steel under-frame box, 500 ail-steel
flat, 500 steel under-frame stock 400
steel under-frame automobile, 10 COM
posite baggage and II al1-stee1 postal
cars. The cost of this equipment will
be more than $1,000 600. The company
has also placed a 81, 900 900 order for so
locomotives with the American Locomo-
tive company.
The Wabash railroad is in the mar
ket for 1000 steel under-frame box care
and 200 all-steel hopper cars, and the
Atlantic Coast Line has issued specifi
cations for the construction Of Loon
steel cars. The placing of these orders
viii stimulate business among the
equipment companies, which will in
turn have a beneficial effect upon the
steel trade.
