pected that the holidays and inven-
tories will bring the inevitable Decem-
Der lull. but all prognosticatfpns this
winter that demand had been satisfied
temporarily. especially In view OF un-
satisfactory deliveries. have had to be
revised. Railroad buying Is mainly Of
equipment.
The large rail tonnages recently an
nounced were only in small measure
new business. The Hartman orders
for 100000 tons had been Forthcoming
for months. and the Northwesterns
contract for $4,000 tons last week was
not new. The st. Paul will need q lot
of rail for extensions on its Pacific line
next year.
Steel and iron prices all around are
very strong. and customers behave
well. There is no general interest In
pig iron for delivery after July I.

FALL DOWNSTAIRS
MAY CAUSE DEATH
Aged Mrs. Pardington of
Hobart Seriously Hurt
by Misstep.

Hobart, Dec. 31.-A trip downstairs
for a bucket of coal may cost aged
Mrs Pardington of this place her life.
The injured woman, who is 70 years
old. is now confined to her bed ffel
head swathed in bandages and her arm
broken in two places as the result of a
fall experienced while on this mission.
The incident happened on Sunday.
The fire was low and Mrs. Pardington
wished to replenish it. There was no
fuel at hand. and she started down
stairs with the empty bucket for the
coal bin. When part way down, she
slipped and fell. The bucket in her
hand made 1t impossible for her to save
herself and she sustained a very bad
fall. with the result as above stated.
Owing to her advanced age 1T is doubt
full whether she will recover.

RAILROAD MEN ASK
FOR LITTLE SNOW
Fear Lack of Moisture Will
Damage Next Seasons
Crops.

If any one has had the temerity to re-
cite verse about the beautiful snow
to railroad presidents year ago he
would have been lucky to escape alive.
They were cunning then for ths
weather man. who had opened all his
snow chutes and covered the western
country with a heavy white mantle.
Snow plows were worked night and
day, traffic was delayed everywhere.
passengers were berating operating
officials and heavy damage resulted.
Now the situation is exactly the oppo-
site. Tho chief executives of the rail
lines are praying for snow and hope
1t will come soon In substantial guam
titles.
Reports received by them are to the
effect that scarcely a fake has fallen
In the country traversed by their lines
and anxiety is felt for next years
