TEXAS LEADS NATION

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 81 The
February Crop Reporter. just issued,
clearly indicates that Missouri can

shown that the real home Of the mule
is in the Lone Star State.
Texas stands first in the Union in
the number OF mules The total

7G3. 0O0. while Missouri is second
with S39. 900, or less than one-half
the number in Texas The Crop Re
porter also shows that the increase
in Texas In number was one per cent
over the preceding wear, as compared
with \ decrease Of one per cent for
tho same period I'm Missouri. The

on January /. 1919. was 81 greater

BROKEN ERALS DUE
To IDEA Of ECONOMY

Startling conditions adduced from
an exhaustive examination of the bro
ken rail which caused the Lehlgh Val
lev railroad wreck near Manchester,
\ Y. are contained in report sub
mitted to the interstate commerce
commission, by the eminent engineer
physicist OF the bureau of standards,
James +. Howard, SAYS the iron
Trade Review. Ills statement TO the
effect that current railroad practice
IN the use of hard steel rails and high
vince, pressure has nearly or quite
reached the limit of endurance Of the
metal of the roadway is in line with
the recent testimony Of James a.
Farrell, president of the United
States Steel corporation, before the
Stanley committee
Mr. Farrell said that beginning
about 1890. the railroads of the
United States began asking for high
or carbon in steel rails to secure
great wear and that the railmabcrs
unwisely. and MANY times under pro-
test. made the quality Of steel de-
handed.
As result of the continued de-
mand by the railroad for n higher
carbon content. NJ. Farrell express
ed the opinion that rail steel, today.
is within the danger zone OF brittle
ness. That the railmaker or makers
cannot be held responsible is point
ed out in another statement made b.
Mr. Howard, which follows: !. is
not 4 question OF mill practice IN the
manufacture OF steel. further than
that the mills are making the steel
which they are required to make un-
der the specifications given them.
The problem OF safe railroad trans
portation Is evidently up to the rail
roads To minimize breakage, they
must be prepared to face a greater
year on steel rails and rs safety Is
the first consideration, a softer steel
with n lower carbon content is es-
sential. A heaI Ter rail. made OF soft
or steel than now specified. may
greatly reduce he rapidly OF wear
now anticipated by railroad cnein-

Contract for Tracks to
New Orleans of Great
Importance

The consummation OF track
agreement between the Frisco and
the New Orleans and Northeastern,
by which the Frisco will use the lat
ters tracks from Laurel, Miss. to
New orleans, is one OF the most i'm
portant railroad transactions made
in several months.
The contract between the two lines
is the beginning OF the Frisco's new
route from Chicago to New Orleans,
and removes any further doubt as
TO how the Frisco will enter New
Orleans, point toward which II
has been aiming for some time.
The new route will give the Frisco
the shortest line from Kansas City
to New Orleans and Mobile. II will
give Memphis a strong competing lne

now being built at Metropolis Ill.
the Frisco will have line but TWEEN
ty-six miles longer from Chicago to
New Orleans than the Illinois Cen
trail and will be a formidable COM

this system also will open through
traffic from Kansas City to the gulf

WORK ON TUCSON
EXTENSION DELAYED
Scarcity of Labor Is Handi-
Gaping Progress on New
E. P. & S W. Line.

Douglas. Ariz.. sept. 27.-A scarcity
of labor and the inability of the Z. P.
& s ". to secure enough men to per-
form the required work, IS resulting in
a yexatious delay in track laying on
the Tucson extension OF the railroad.
This was the statement of general
manager Simmons, who passed through
Douglas en- route to his Headquarters
at FL PaSo, from Tucson.
Out of 500 supposed laborers who
have been brought to talrbank from
the district surrounding Fort Worth,
during the last four months, large
part have proved to be tourists. Not
more than 80 of the total brought in
are now at work This has worked
a hardship on the road, which fur
nished transportation to crowd large
" composed of professional buns in
stead of the honest laborers they hoped
to secure.
The expectation of the road has been
to complete the large steel bridge over
the Southern Pacific tracks at Pan
tano by October /. It has now been
rendered certain that this work can
after that date.
When this bridge has been completed
the tracks into Tucson can be COM
pleted within 80 days There will be
a great deal of work around the ter
minus there TO be done. including sur
facing, etc, before regular train ser
vice can be inausurated. Regular SER
vice will be begun not later than jan
uary / Mr.. simmons thinks About
that date the Golden State limited
will be diverted at FL Paso from the
Southern Pacific to the FL Paso &

Work on the Huachuca branch is
proceeding well and is due to be COM
pieted about December !. Mr.. Sim
