ENCOURAGE PURE
BREED OF POULTRY
Farmer Should at Least Pur-
chase Full BIooded Cock, Dis
posing Of Old Rooster.
(By B. NELSON.)

In many localities the barn-yArd
fowl will not give way to the i'm
proved breeds II you cannot afford
to buy an entire breeding-pe pen Of pure
stock, at least obtain a tull-blooded
cock and send the old common rooster
to market This will greatly improve
matters. II you are careful to retain
the best pullets Of this cross breed,
and when you have a stock of good
ones sacrifice the old hens. Cannot
farmers be prevailed upon to do this,
when the supply Of eggs, even in the
villages, Is too small In winter? When
eggs are scarce and the prices high,
do not some diminish home con-
sumption, and even then complain of
the small number they have to take
to market. A thoroughbred hen Of a
good strain will lay nearly fifty per
cent. more In the number Of eggs than
a common hen. II the prices diminish
a little the increased production Of
eggs will much overbalance the
account Too many persons raise
poultry without regard to the use OF
pure breeds and regardless of an effort
to maintain the high standard to
which our domestic fowls have at
tanned. The increased evidence of the
fact that hish-class poultry pays. Is
surely sufficient to encourage US to
strike out boldly and extensively in
this field Of enterprise Every effort
In this direction will meet with such
favor that success will surely follow.
Contrast the present with the past. and

A good flock master will not fail

MO. PACIFIC ICE HOUSE.

From fifty to sixty men have been
at work this week on the new ice
storage house being constructed by
the Missouri Pacific, Just north Of
the car sheds.
The wOrk is in charge Of H. C..
ABBOTT, assistant general engineer OF
the st. Louis Office, and wild be COM
pleted by Dec. 18th. The dimensions
ape as given last week, 146x43 feet,
and the side walls will be Sc feet
high. The foundation will extend 3
feet above the ground and is being
constructed with concrete mixer an
a gang Of men, similar to the way
the foundations for the shop build
ings we've made. The floor will be
laid with tile and covered with &C.
ment. The walls will be packed with
200 tons of rock wool and the outside
will be covered with corrugated iron
and stucco. The roof vii be support
ed with steel girders and when com
pleted the building will affond stor-
age room for $4,000 tons of ice. II
will be constructed in such manner
that the shrinkage of ice Is esti-
mated at only 100 per cent.
The object Of building the Ice stOr.
age house is to enable the Missouri
Pacific to take care Of the Californif
fruit business that will be routed ov
er this road, beginning next year
The facilities for icing refrigerator
trains will be such that a train d
1Drty cars can be iced while engines
IRE being changed for the next di
vision. This winter the storage house
will be filled with natural ice from
Colorado.

EXCAVATION FOR NEW
HOTEL IS COMPLETED
One of Critical Stages in Somewhat
Stormy Career Of Airing
ton Passed.

Another era in the history OF the
construction of the proposed Arlington
Hotel was declared finished yesterday
when the mammoth hole dug for the
erection of the 100000 building was
announced to be completed. Con-
tractors are waiting for further orders
before proceeding with the walling in
OF the excavation.
Several months ago builders tore
down the old Arlington Hotel. 1t was
announced that a 100000 company
had been organized to project the new
hotel Contractors started to excavate.
They dug a large hole that practically
eliminated the block enclosed by YER
mont Avenue, Avenue of the Presidents.
II Street and / Street. Before the hole
was as large as had been intended the
work suddenly was stopped.
Officials of the hotel company re-
fused to talk. 1t was understood that
New York capitalists who had in
tended to invest. had withdrawn their
support. Nothing was done to further
the work of destruction or construc-
tion for several weeks. Finally an or
der was issued by the District requir-
ing the fence which surrounded the
hole to be removed within ten days
or the work resumed. The work was
resumed.
Any misunderstanding which may
have existed now are said to have
been adjusted. 1t is expected that upon
the resumption of work the erection
of the building will be completed with
out further delay.
Three months would be required to
build the foundations and to erect
enough of the building to fill.the forty
foot excavation. The completion of
the hotel after that would not, it is
said, require very much time.

and abroad. and as a proof of this asser-
ton he points with pride to a wonderful
and priceless collection of autograph pho

ROADS again TO ASK
INCREASE IN Rates
Will Shortly Place Before Interstate
Commerce Commission New
Schedule Of Tariffs. =.
PROPOSE S PER CENT BOOST

Information has reached Washington
that the Eastern railroads have decided
to renew their campaign for an increase
in freight rates, and that they will place
on file with the Interstate Commerce
Commission within a short time tariffs
showing an increase of per cent in
class and commodity rates to take effect
September Is.
The carriers at first petitioned the COM
mission to reopen the old freight rate
case, but the commission turned this
petition down. However. the commission
at the same time issued an order deciding
to investigate the subject OF freight rates
on its own initiative. Now, 1t appears.
that the railroads have awakened to the
fact that the investigation order by the
commission is really a moot one, and
could benefit them but little. In fact.
some of the railroad attorneys expressed
the opinion that in issuing this order
the commission was toying with the
carriers in order to stave them of for an
indefinite period. The commission has
set no date to begin hearings, and its
order remains Enacted upon though
handed down more than a month ago.
Now. the carriers are going to place
something definite and substantial be-
fore the commission to consider in the
lorin ol tarllS 10 become eHecllNe sep
TENDER Is, and it will cost them So, 600
1t is the expectation that the commits
sion will suspend the tariffs but under
the law it will be compelled to start on
its investigation Immediately.
Railroad men here state that the
change in tactics by the carriers is due
to the fact that canvass conducted
by them shows that shippers and ship
pers' organization generally in the East
will offer but little objections to the in
creases. as they realize that 1t is abso-
lutely essential for the carriers to Sc
cure more revenue in order to maintain
present service. improve it, and particu-
larry to supply additional equipment.
1t is stated that it will be shown that
the lack of sufficient cars to meet de-
mands in the shipping seasons has
caused great loss to shippers, and that
under present conditions the carriers are
unable to buy additional equipment.

OFFICER WON'T HAVE TO PAY.
Capt. II. {. Williams Only TechnI-
cnIIy Responsible for LoAs.

Capt. r. c. Williams. United States
Army Paymaster. will not be called upon
TO make good the sum OF sss5l0.4 for
which. by the technicality OF the law. he
is personally liable. even though it cannot
legally be paid out or the United States
Treasury.
Capt Williams was army paymaster
at Olongapo. p. l.. when his accounts
were lost in the wreck at sea OF the
collier Brutus. These accounts con-
tanned all pay receipts. All payments by
check were returned as receipts. but the
cash receipts were all lost when the
collier sunk. A part OF his accounts
paid by check were allowed. but nearly
$500, one OF the biggest amounts on
record. was disallowed. There is no
doubt in the mind OF any government
official that he has made proper disburse-
ments, yet he must be held responsible
even though his receipts were lost in a
government boat.
