MARYLAND ROAD a TRUNK LINE.
Shortest and Lowest Grade From
Lakes to the Seaboard.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Beginning at once,
the Western Maryland Railway COM
pany ceased to be a local railroad and
becomes a through trunk line. This
was brought about through opening up
for general business of it's new eighty
seven mile connection with the Pitts
burg & Lake Erie from Cumberland,
Md, to Connellsville, Pa. A ninety
nine year traffic contract with the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie for joint inter-
change of traffic is one of the principal
reasons why a heavy movement of
traffic, both domestic and export, is
expected to seek a tidewater outlet
over the new line, the shortest and
lowest grade from the lakes to the
seaboard.
Fast freight schedules have been ar
ranged between New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and all principal ship
ping centers in the east, reached by
the Jersey Central, Reading and West
ern Maryland, and Pittsburg and all
business centers west of that city
reached by the New York Central and
the Erie railroad lines and their con-
nections. In addition to the above de-
scribed routes a new through ocean
and rail differential route has been
provided to and from Pittsburg and
the west, and all New England and
southern ports served by the Mer-
chants & Miners Transportation COM
pany.

RAILROAD NEWS
Good Showing Made in July by
Gould Lines.
Increase i'm Earnings West of
Mississippi River.
MISSOURI PACIFIC'S GOOD GAIN
A Jump in Gross of More Than
Is Per Cent.
Other Items of General Inter.
est in Traffic World.

New York, Aug. Exceptional
traffic conditions have marked the new
hseal year on all of the Gould rail-
roads operating west of the Mississippi.
The large territory covered by these
lines is further fairly indicative of gem
eral traffic conditions throughout the
extensive territory. The fruit crops
and other early crops have turned out
more than average yields with the re-
suit that with each succeeding week
OF July the prospects for the new year
look brighter. All Of the railroads in
the Gould group show more or less
substantial increases in gross revenue
Tor the three weeks>to July 81, with
exceptional increases ruling for the
third week.
From July IA to 81 the International
& Great Northern reports a gross in
crease of $45, 900, or 1876 per cent; the
Cotton Belt $55, 200, or 29.2 per cent,
and the Missouri Pacific $4,000, or
1876 per cent. Denver & Rio Grandes
increase was only AZ per cent, while
the Texas & Pacific, which is now
completely recovered from the flood
conditions prevalent n earlier weeks,
reported gain of SO per cent.
AS a result of these improved con-
ditions, the five lines reported an ag-
gregate increase of $291,OO0 in traffic
revenues for the third week of July,
while for the three weeks of the new
the same period of 1911. Without ex-
ception the five lines made a better
showing in the third week than for the
preceding two weeks.
1t is believed this gradual but pro-
nounced improvement marks the turn
ing of the corner, particularly because
of the fact that the grain crops are
now practically made and promise
large yields. Furthermore, the cotton
crop in the territory served by the
southerly lines, according to Vice
President Freeman of the Texas & Pa
cific and the International & Great
L
record yield of last year by 100000
bales. This estimate includes the
states of Texas, Arkansas and Okla
homa. Officials of the other lines are
unanimous in their expectation of
heavy business during this fall and
winter.

NEW INTERURBAN IN KANSAS
An Electric Line Will Be Built Be-
tween Olathe and Fort Scott

Sapulpa, Ok, Aug. 3.-President
Louis ]. Lampke of the Oklahoma
public service and interurban lines,
with headquarters in New York, in a
letter to Secretary Van Orman of the
Sapulpa Commercial club, says an
electric line will soon be under con-
StructiOn between Olathe, Kan, and
Fort Scott, which will form a basis
for a general system from Kansas City
to Oklahoma City by way of Tulsa
and Sapulpa, dividing the distance be-
tween the Frisco and Santa Fe from
Sapulpa into Oklahoma City. He asks
for information concerning tonnage
over the Sapulpa- Keifer line, and sug-
gests that work may begin soon on
the grade partly completed between
Sapulpa and Tulsa. 1t is understood
here that the New York syndicate re-
Gently acquired this grade right of
way, and engineers will soon be in
the field to begin running a line to
connect with the Fort Scott terminal
When a connection is made at
Olathe, Kansas City will have
through line into the mid-continent
oil field and to Oklahoma City. The
letter predicts that several hundred
miles of interurban lines will be built
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas dur
ing the next two years, and reference
is made to an entirely new type of mo-
tor car, which will eliminate the over
head trolley. He says that the Cen
eral Electric company paid several
million dollars for the patent, and
that high grade crude oil and low
grade refined oil can be used as fuel.

Work Without
Yearly Vacation

Professor Edward Lee Thorndike,
head of the department of physiol-
ogy at Columbia university, has, pre-
pared set of ten rules which he
saws will enable anyone to get along
without vacations which he regards
as an unnecessary luxury. During
no waking moments. he says, lis
there any legitimate excuse for idle
ness on the parto the mind. Instead
ola rest or vacation the mind should
be given new work. No one should
rest an instant save when sound
asleep. The more the mind does the
more it can do. My ten rules for be-
ing able to do work all the time are
as follows.
sleep all that is possible.
Get rid of all physical ills.
When one interest lags find
new one.
Always keep on hand supply of
motives or desires.
Never learn by a roundabout
method what can belearned directly.
Never allow the mind todwell on
a subject that may not be useful. III
Waste no effort.
Never worry.
Never become excited unneces-
sarily.

and then do it without talking about

business men and farmers are such
that they have not been willing to

had the endorsement of the best
business judgment of the country.
Neither the so-called Aldrich Bill.

such it has deserved careful study.
Banking reform does not, however,
depend on this bill, and it is of little
