T,R, INVADES VERMONT
Enters Upon Three Days Tour of the
Green Mountain State.

Bennington, VT, Aug. 29.-The
state campaign now nearing it's clos
ing hours for the election comes next
Tuesday received additional impetus
today with the arrival here of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt for three days on
the stump on both sides of the Green
mountains. A number of progressive
speakers, notably former Senator
Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana and
Clifford Pinchot of Washington, have
been tilling the political soil of Yer
mont for several weeks.
Colonel Rooseve1t's activities in the
state will take him through the two
congressional districts into four of the
six cities and eight of the largest
towns. If nothing interrupts his
schedule he will follow his visit to
this town with speeches later in the
day at Rutland, Middlebury and
Burlington; with addresses tomorrow
at St Adams, Morrisville, Barton and
st. Johnsbury and with closing re-
marks on Saturday at Barre, Ran
While Colonel Roosevelt is expected
to discuss national issues to a great
extent it is regarded as probable that
he will pay more attention to the state
candidates. The progressive managers
in Bennington were prepared for the
visit of Colonel Roosevelt. The red
bandana was much in evidence, deco

spicuous and Roosevelt buttons we're

Each Week Brings More BUSH
ness to Rail Lines.
Gain in Earnings-Decrease in
Idle Cars.
SANTA FEES GOOD SHOWING
Increase of 25 Per Cent in Car
LOadings.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm Traffic World.

Each week brings more business to
railroads in all sections, especially
those in the large agricultural re-
giOnS, says the New York Evening
Post. Earnings are enlarging, and the
car situation is becoming more acute,
and although there is no actual con-
gestion, there are few railroads that
are not close on cars, especially good
box cars for handling grain and mis-
cellaneous freight. These statements
are backed up by the official report
on idle cars, showing a decrease OF
1881 in the past two weeks, bringing
the surplus down to 1928, compared
with 10S, 900 last year The shortage
is 14,722, an increase of 5,32S over
August 1, and compares with 1890
last year. The supply of box cars in
the states where they are most need
ed decreased moderately in the last
two weeks, despite the efforts of the
railroads to prevent it.
Loading returns show gratifying in
creases over last year, ranging from
1900 to 5000 cars. The Burlington
making the latter showing. The load
ings on the Santa Fe are 20 to 25 per
cent In excess of last year. In the
latter's territory the situation is rap
idly tightening, as the grain move
ment is liberal, Notwithstanding re-
ports that farmers are holding be OK

that, as the winter approaches, there
will be a material enlargement, as
consumers have only moderate sup
plies.
Business is moving in larger volume
than is usual at this season, especial
" with the steel and dry goods in
terests, the former having sufficient
tonnage in hand to run six months,
and the structural mills have enough
to keep their capacity busy for twelve
months Interior merchants were
here in larger numbers last week,
and made good purchases of all kinds
of merchandise for immediate de-
livery.
Wet weather over a good part of
the agricultural regions last week re-
stricted marketing of grains, but
there was a gain in the deliveries at
Chicago of $4,000 bushels over the
previous week, and a loss of 1876, 900
bushels from the same time last year,
also a reduction of $4,000 bushels.

oats increased $4,000 bushels.

CAR SHORTAGE is NIGHTMARE.
Western Railways Send Out Final
Plea TO shippers.

Plea to Shippers.
The car shortage continues to be the
nightmare of traffice managers, who
are figuring on the very large crop of
wheat in the west. Many railroads
have sent out letters to shippers ask,
ing for expedition in the loading anu
unloading of cars, and Chairman w.
A. Garrett of the Association OF west
ern Railways makes a similar appeal.
Mr.. Garrett says:
''The time is here for the railways
and shippers of the United States to
begin active and energetic prepara-
indications are that if they do not be-
gin such preparations at once they Will
be confronted next October with the
worst situation that has existed since

move the business. Yards and terml-
the railways, the shippers and the
public resulted.
Conditions now exist that are likely
to cause a heavy demand for and a
rapid reduction in the supply of cars.
Now, the crop prospects In the west
this year are unusually good. This
helps to make the prospect of car
shortage unusually bad
eff the bad situation now threaten
ing is to be averted, the managers OF
the railroads must have the hearty
support and cooperation of the ship
pers and eonsignees of the country.
The shippers and coCsignees can give
such support and cooperation In at
least two ways:
"By moving all lumber, coal, cement
and other freight that they can within
the next few weeks, instead of delay
ing and throwing it all on the railways
when they are staggering under the
cron movement.
''The commercial organizations or
the cities and towns can help greatly
by urging their members to move all
goods as early as possible.

ticable. Every time the loading or
