CAR ROUTE SYSTEM
How the Packers Handled Business in
Small Towns.

Chicago. Jan. 17.-Reading of lists of
car routes containing 5000 towns in
which Morris and Company sold meat
directly from the car to retailers &C.
cupied much time at the packers trial
today. Harry A Timmins, chief ac-
countant for Morris and Company read
the list of car routes and explained
that they were used to distribute fresh
meat in towns where the demand was
insufficient to maintain an agent or
branch house.
To some of these points daily ship
nents were made and a carload of
fresh meat divided among half a dozen
small towns. To other points tri-week-
II and weekly shipments were made.

says George H. HUI in his Industrial
Depressions.' Though the author
overworks his main thesis, he has
brought to light great mass of most

analysis of the many current and his

quently changes in the price of iron
are reflected in every other market
quotation. An era of abnormal build

iron market, and this results in an alb
normal advance of the price. This in
turn paralyzes construction, which
checks labor, lowers consumption and
producers an industrial depression
This condition is intensified*by the fac

THE CALUMET RIVER.

Editor TIMEs.-Many efforts have
been made during the past so years. to
get government survey and work
done on one or both branches of the
Calumet River toward drainage of the
land and Strengthening the river. It.
looks now as though a good COM
meDcement might be made to that end
1T would seem to be good plan to have
the survey made the whole length Of
the river so as to determine whether it
is practicable and feasible to make an
inland harbor clear across Lake County
together with an immense amount Of
Idockage and transfer facilities for both
water and rail freights. Also to de-
termine whether it is best to connect the
drainage system of the Calumet region
by large canal. with the Chicago
drainage canal or whether it would be
better for Lake county and our state to
provide for a large canal to extend
south to the wabash river and give
drainage to both the immense Calumet
marsh and the large Kankakee marsh,
one at each end of Lake county
I believe such a canal is practica bl a
and that it would be of very great value
to our county and state both for drain
age and for water transportation from
Lake Michigan to the gulf. I think In
tdiana has just good a right and as
good route for a ship canal as ILL.,
