OHUu'u NOt HdVS DSSH EHHPtuyeus
Bridgeport, Conn.-Railroad experts,
testifying at the inquiry into the recent
wreck on the New Haven road before

perience as an engineer. The wreck
caused the loss of six lives. Other
testimony showed that passenger cars
built in Civil War days were still in
use on the railroad.

A SPLENDID
PRAYER MEETING

There were 100 people at the prayer
meeting at the Baptist church last
night A week ago there were forty
six without any special announcement
and they decided to double the attend
ance, but when the snow storm came it
looked dubious. But it was a good
cause, the room was crowded and fine
spirit prevailed. Many good people have
felt that the prayer meeting could
never be made a power in the Calumet
region. 1t might be all right in country
town. but would hardly go in a busy
district like this
The fact is that prayer is the great

seeking to emphasize the spiritual life

STEEL TRADE KEEPS UP.
ACTIVITY IS MARKED

Plans to Enlarge Blast
Furnaces.

Authorities in the steel trade are
confident that the outlook assures con-
tinuonce of great activity during the
later months of the year. The senti-
ment expressed in the steel industry is
in contrast with the note of apprehen-
sion heard in some other lines. New
business now going on manufacturers
books shows some falling off. however.
The Iron Age in it's issue today says on
this point:
1T Is expected that the Steel corpo-
ration's untitled orders will show a
somewhat greater falling off in Feb
ruary than in January. but the extent
of the gain on piled-up contracts has
not abated in the least the clamor of
consumers for material.
"An important development of the
week is the appearance of inquiry from
agricultural implement and machinery
companies for their bar requirements
from July / on. This business usually
does not come out until April The
prosperity of this industry will reflect
agricultural conditions.
THE Chicago district is still the GEN.
ter of highest pressure, the demand on
the leading mills for finished products
being much beyond existing pig iron
and steel capacity and shipments of pig
iron from Pittsburg to Chicago prom
