! of the first obligations a railroad owes
/ to its patrons. Such punctuality in
transportation is of tremendous impor-
tance 70 the commercial, industrial and
social life of the country thus served.
1t not only reflects the wonderful ply
sical condition of the Burlington's
roadway and equipment, but the very
high character of the entire organic
alton as well.
Chicago, July 26.-Manufacturers
of agricultural implements and We
hicles throughout the country are
wrought up over a proposed change
by railroads operating in western
territory in minimum weights on car
load shipments, and it is expected
that existing differences eventually
will be placed before the interstate
commerce commission for adjust
ment.
The minimum named by the car
riers at present in order to obtain
carload rating on agricultural i'm
plements and vehicles is 10000
pounds and a plan is now before the
meeting of the western classification
ommittee in Milwaukee, to change
that figure to "a 900 pounds for a
car SO feet long. The new arrange
ment also provides that for 40-foot
cars the minimum shall be $3.50
pounds, for 44-foOt cars 29,760
pounds and for 5O-foot cars 1850
pounds. 1t is pointed out that man
ufacturers OF agricultural imple
ments and vehicles now have thous-
ands of orders based on 10000
minimum for carload rating, and
the proposed alteration, it is declar-
ed, would lead to much inconyen-
ience and expense. II is contended
by the railroads that the effect OF
the proposed changes practically
will be nulIified by special rates that
have been granted. Shippers, how
ever, say that il has been the Gus
tom Of the railroads in the past TO
cancel these special rates as soon as
changes have been made in minimum
weights and that they have reason
10 believe that such q course will be
pursued IN the present instance In
that case, IL is asserted, il will be
necessary for the shippers to ask the
interstate commerce commission to
intervene.
Shippers generally, Il is said, are
displeased because of the refusal Of
the western classification committee
to postpone consideration Of changes

Harry A Sodini, accompanied by Jo-
seph Quinn, called at The Argus ofice
this morning and verified the story
printed fn The Argus Wednesday re-
garding his abandonment of his plans
for the taking over of the Illinois thea

The public will no doubt be glad to
Snow that the Illinois theatre is not to

OF the work to be done within the
James City limits. There is a stretch
Of nearly 30 miles OF road in James
City. however. so it is to be expect
ed that in that county as we'll as in
New Kent some of the money raised
from outside sources will have to be
spent.
The counties have entered into the
Peninsula highway matter with an
enthusiastic thoroughness that leaves
no room for doubt that the road will

interested cities will carry out their
part Of the program. A compare
lively small sum of money must De
