First-class Matter Will
Be Handled.

According to reports received at the
Postoftice Department up to a late hour
yesterday there was but little improve
ment in railroad service during the past
twenty-four hours. and there has been
an increased congestion of mail. The de-
partment is using every effort in its power
to relieve conditions, and for a time will
attempt to handle only first-class mail
matter.
Under orders issued yesterday morning
mails ordinarily routed by way of Gin
cinnati into Kentucky. Tennessee. Missis-
sippi. and Louisiana from the East have
been detoured so that they will come by
way of Pittsburg and Washington, or
Philadelphia and Washington.
The department has been advised that
PENNSYLVANIA lines between Pittsburg
and Chicago were open this morning via
Alliance. Hudson. Akron. and Mansfield,
the Erie Railroad being used between
Akron and Mansfield. It Is expected
that Columbus will be reached via Crest
line and the Big Four Railroad. No other
line is yet open out of Pittsburg. and 1t
Is uncertain when any of the lines to
Cincinnati will be opened.
Postal employees have succeeded in
reaching Dayton with pouches of first
class mail. and have opened up Station

SUGAR BEET PRODUCTION
Colorado Led the Beet Sugar States
In Output Last Year, With Cal
ifOrnia Second and Michi-
gan Third

Colorado was at the head of the
beet sugar states in 1912 with
beet tonnage Of 1,683,158 and
sugar production of 223,181 tons.
The majority of the factories in
that state were taxed to their ut
most capacity to handle the large
crop offered. Weather conditions
were ideal during the growing and
harvesting season.
California Is second with a beet
tonnage of 980,S94 and a sugar
production of 155,432 tons.
Michigan came third with a pro
duction of 1,026.208 tons of beets
and a sugar production of 1851
tons. These figures were slightly
below their production for 1911.
owing to early rains which de-
layed planting and washed out some
of the acreage which had been
planted and fall rains which re.
tarded the work of harvest.

which Is making arrangements to
purchase a number of dairy cows
which they will SELL to farmers OF
the Big Horn basin ON time, and
charging q lower rate of interest
than that demanded on other loans.
The banks at Powell. Wyo.. have

mers.
The bankers of northern Wyom-

rived at the conclusion that the
future agricultural prosperity of
their section must come from
dairying. In the past, the farmers
in Wyoming have been handicapped
by lack of funds and high rate of
interest. The banks are determin-
ed to remedy the condition and

especially evident as the cut in
cotton of 21 per cent will not
hurt the southerners as they have
