ACTIVITY BEGUN
Milwaukee Lines Will Radiate
From Crays Harbor
to Olympics
PURCHASES In ABERDEEN

1t is stated here that the Chicago
Milwaukee & st Paul railway has
definitely decided to make Grays Har.
Dor a port of entry and that radiat-
ing lines from the harbor will be
built north into the Olympic reserve
and south through Willapa harbor to
the Columbia river.
This information, received today
by a private dispatch from a conf.
dental agent of the system, bears
out in detail rumor to the effect
current two weeks ago when this
agent, with others, visited the har-
Dor and, in an attempt to get pos
session of certain properties, was
forced to partially reveal the nature
of his errand.
Capitalists in Secret.
A number of prominent Aberdeen
capitalists were taken into the Sc
cret at that time. While the an
nOuncement received is brief, it is
sufficient to indicate, when coupled
with statements made by the road s
representative, that in the prepara-
tion for a terminal extensive track
age will be laid in South Aberdeen.
It is believed that here, too, will be
located roundhouses and, eventually,
shops A large tract of land is said
to have been secured. An important
part of the news is that the road will
make it's extension from Helsing
Junction to Willapa harbor a part Of

Today in reply to questions those
who knew of the Milwaukee inten-
tions said that the visit of the rail-
road men was made in secret and
that while they gave out directly in

termined to make Grays Harbor a

understood, came with the intention
of buying land. Hoquiam, it is said.

officials had really decided upon, but
the property which they will need

construction of the long-expected line
into the Olympic peninsula to con-
meet with the road started from Port
Angeles to Ozette lake some time
ago.

NEW O1NN, - Clls 40, 4SAO'
Very little worthy of special mention
transpired in the leaf market during
the week. Some out-of-town buyers
were here TO replenish their depleted
stocks. They were mostly looking for
binders and the new shade grown crop.
They were impressed With the perfec-
tion of The Florida-Georgia leaf which
will no doubt largely increase its Glen
tele during the year. For the rest the
market was intensely interested in the
outcome of yesterdays tobacco hearing
at which was present large repre-
sentation of the trade.
The notable feature of the cigar in
dustry is the buoyant hopefulness with
which the manufacturers view the flu
ture. To be sure certain small per-
centage profess to find grounds for ap-
prehension in the coming revision Of
the tariff; but these are the men in
whose minds nothing but gloomy fore
bodings ever dwell. The great major
ity are preparing for long era of
prosperity. For this there seem to be
the best of reasons. journal.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. Is, 1913.


The past week was an exceptionally
quiet one in local tobacco circles, with
the smallest possible movement among
our buyers The indications are that
the big concerns that have been SO
active among the growers of the
county, those who have bought up the
bulk of the 1912 tobacco already sold,
have about all they want, and as they
made their purchases. at ten and ten
and half cents it is not likely that
they will be competitors for the portion
still in the hands of the growers, say
go per cent of the crop. About the only
concern that has bought anything of
any moment lately has been John j !.
Jeffries, whose buyers have contracted
for considerable packing in the east
ern section of this county, in the Hemp
fields, and over the line in Chester
county, where there has been growing
some nice tobacco this year 1t is re-
ported that he has been paying ten and
half cents if the packers hunted
sharply after it. Of the unsold tobacco
there is much that is as good as any
that has been sold, but the growers
want eleven to twelve cents for it, con-
siderably more than cur packers will
give. IF it is still unsold by the time
the expected revival in the local leaf
market comes, the growers may re-
ceive what they ask, but not unless
there is sharp revival.
The weather has been ideal for strip
ping, and the growers appear to be
stripping pretty clean this year. At
least we have heard but few complaints
on this score and have learned Of very
little docking.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Jan. "a, 1913.


Receiving the tobacco crop is still
the principal business throughout the
growing sections of the state and gooc
roads and fine weather have assisted
the farmers greatly in the marketing
of the crop. Complaints of docking
and reflections in some localities reach
us. Such matters are usually adjusted
on the farms before delivery.
Buying of the unsold remnants of the
crop is proceeding in quiet manner,
mainly on stemming purpose basis,
though an occasional lot brings some
what near former quotations.
Warehouse handling is now being
crowded along at all the packing points
with all the available help to be Sc
cured and matters are being adjusted
to long seasons employment.
The market for old leaf shows no
new features, the local trade being
confined to small transactions. N.
Gillen of York, Pa, has picked up
about three car loads of old and new
leaf from local packers lately.
The week has seen several large re-
ceiving days in this market.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 45Ocs from this market to all
points for the week.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. IA, 1913.
The 1912 Connecticut valley shaded
tobacco acreage totalled 1877 acres, ac-
cording to figures just compiled. This
estimate compares with an area Of ap-
proximately 1900 acres in 1911. No es-
pecial significance is attached to the
decrease, which is due in part to the
conservative attitude of the shaded to-
bacco interests and probably in no
small measure to the fact that primed
tobacco offered extraordinary induce
ments. The Connecticut Tobacco Cor
poration, the pioneer in the shaded to-
bacco revival, heads the list as in for
mer seasons. The only notable in
creases in acreage are by Keiser &
Boasberg and the Connecticut
Tobacco Co. The former doubled its
1911 area and the latter increased its
shaded area from 100 to $50 acres.

Tobacco centers are receiving and
handling the 1912 crop. Operations
are sure to continue until the entire
1912 packing is completed. The influx
of money is making times easier, bills
are being paid, the prosperity among
the weed growers being quite appar-
ent. With the exception of few
dealers, very little docking has been
done to date.
An unfortunate situation is that the
buyers refuse to wait till the proper
time, resorting to contracting before
the farmer has anything to sell, ex-
cept prospects.

IMPROVE COOLING DEVICE.
New Fan Design Influenced by Eff
Gent Aeroplanes.

The great strides in efficient air pro-
influence in the fan designs used by
prominent makers this year. In many
cases it has been found that increased
air circulation could be attained by using
fewer blades with extremely course pitch.
These blades are also narrower than the
conventional blades.
At least one foreign and two American
cars this year have adopted the narrow
blade fan. One French car is credited
with using a two blade fan exactly SIM
liar to an aeroplane propeller. The de-
veopment of such small details as the
fan go to securing increased efficiency
from given amount of water In other
words, if the quantity of air drawn in by
the fan can be increased the radiator
size can be decreased. To get the high
est efficiency from the least weight has
been the goal toward which designers
have for some time been striving.
There is no doubt that any improve
ment that can be developed along the
line of cooling facilities will be eagerly
welcomed. Repair statistics show that
the most costly motor repairs are prac-
tically always the result of operating a
car in an overheated condition. When
the boiling point is reached it is always
possible to run along unaware that this
condition exists until so much water has
it ceases to absorb the cylinder heat as
it should. and a seized piston is the re-
suit. The Introduction of the aeroplane
type fan will be more than welcome if
it aids i'll the dissipation Of more heat
from the cooling water.

NOVEL AUTO EQUIPMENT.
Motorist Changes Speedometer So It
Faces OCCUPANTS of Car.

decidedly new idea in motor car
equipment was evolved by a recent pur-
chaser of a motor car. who ordered the
speedometer placed on the rear of the
front seat, facing the occupants of the
tonneau. The owner of the car, Mon
treal man. employs a chauffeur and
always rides in the rear seat.
He has his own ideas as to what speed
should be maintained in city traffic, and
therefore had the indicator placed where
1T could be constantly under his watchful
gaze. AS a result the chauffeur is forced
to depend either upon instinct or hints
from his employer for a knowledge Of the
cars pace. In placing the speedometer in
the tonneau a special tube over six feet
in length was used. owing to the dis
lance of the dial from the front wheel
Among other novel ideas on the car
which the owner dictated is the placing
of the electric horn; midway between the
two headlights in front of the radiator.
Two push buttons near the tonneau door
are connected with the electric horn and
the speedometer light, so that the owner
is able to apprise pedestrians of the
cars approach, in case the driver fails
to give warning in time.

AUTOS SAVE CITY MONEY,
Motor Patrols Show Economy for
New York Police.

One of the most interesting documents
omy of the automobile over horse-drawn
vehicles, is the 1912 report of the police
department of New York city, recently
made for the city officials. According to
the report three motor-driven patrol
wagons not only effected a saving of more
than 30 per cent over the former method
of transporting prisoners and accomplish
ing other work of the department, but
each showed a total economy of more
than twice it's original cost.
The cars were fitted with special patrol
bodies and put into commission at the
beginning of 1912 Each car cost about
5000 when ready for work. In the
years service the three have shown
saving of 1852. GO in maintenance
charges or $6.51OS6 each. Because
of the showing made by the cars Police
Commissioner Waldo has ordered ten
more, to be delivered within sixty days
The report shows that three cars dis
placed nine horSe-drawn patrol wagons
and cut down the staff of patrolmen
necessary for their operation by eighteen

report and showing the saving effected
in the latter year follow:
