MIXING NUMBERS
CAUSES QUEER
RESULTS
CAR PAINTER ON THE D. AND r.
c. CAUSES GRIEF TO MANY
st OFFICIALS

The mess made by some car letter
ers and numberers in the repair shops
Of the D. and r. @. az Denver, when
one set Of numbers were placed on
one side Of a car and another entirely
different set on the other side Of the
car may easily be imagined
Conductors found that they had an
extra car in their trains. Tracers
could not find the missing car. Finally
some freight conductor who had
drawn the "hoodo car" thought to in
vestigate discovered the error. The
mistake had gone undetected for near
ly Is months and had caused inesti-
mable trouble to the operating and
traffic departments.
New Fast Freight service
Reductions of running time of
freight trains operated between Chi
cago and St Louis and Pacific coast
points are contemplated by all of the
transcontinental lines, and operating
departments in Topeka are expert
menting with faster schedules where
by it is believed that train schedules
can be speeded up to where the ship
ments will take about eight days to
make the trip to main distributing
centers on the coast.
1t takes about ten days for through
freight from Chicago to reach Seattle
at present, and this follows a recent
cut in running time made by the
Great Northern and the Burlington.
The expected competition Of the
Panama canal has started the rail-
roads experimenting with means of
shortening their running time. The
Hill railroads are conducting all of
their experiments over the Burlington
but each of the transcontinental lines
has had experts studying the prob
lem for several months and special
reports are expected to be made soon
regarding the feasibility
At present running time of freight
trains is based on about IL to 16 miles
an hour, including stops, but that
speed is based upon maximum load
for the train. It is generally conced-
ed that faster time can be made by
lowering the train weight, but few OPP
Grating officials are willing to advise
the lowering Of train maximum
weight.
Rock island to PactfIc Coast
A railroad has just been chartered
at Phoenix, Ariz., which will have
its terminals at Phoenix and San
Diego. Reports from the southwest
ern country have it that this is the
first definite step toward giving the
Southern Pacific competition and af-
fording the Rock Island system a
line through to the coast. The fact that
James Douglas, son of the heads Of
the Phelps-Dodge interests, who are
still believed to be in control Of the
Rock Island, has subscribed for al
considerable amount of the capital
stock Of the new company, has lent
strehgth to the rumors, although in
official circles in Topeka it has been
denied. a ayaa
It Is believed that this line will ulti-
mately form part of the proposed
outlet to the coast by way Of Tucson

MILITARY AND NAVAL
STRENGTH OF MEXICO

We clip the following from the all
ways well-informed Atlanta Journal:
According to recent and rather
authentic reports on military condi-
tons in Mexico the combined
strength of all men under arms in
the republic does not exceed eighty
three thousand. That estimate is
far short of the claims of Huerta and
of the constitutionalists. Huerta
boasts an army of eighty thousand
and in moments Of high imagination
when his heart is merry with wine,
he raises the figure to a hundred and
fifty thousand. Carranza and Villa
have been scarcely less elastic in
reckoning their own forces; some
times they have claimed fifty thou
sand, and at other times a hundred
thousand followers.
Information gathered directly by
United States consuls and other Off
Gals at various points in Mexico,
and transmitted by them to the
state department shows that Heurta
has about forty thousand soldiers on
whom he can depend. while the
leaders of the revolution command
approximately forty-three thousand.
The latter include not only the
troops of Villa and Carranza but all
the Zapatistas, the Pueblo Indians
who are in revolt, and divers revolu-
tionary bands in the far south that
have no connection with the consti-
nationalist movement
| These forces are scattered through
the country, for the most part in
small detachments and with scant
means for mobilization. In Mexico
| City and its environs, Huerta has
some fifty-five hundred armed men.
In northern Mexico, the constitu-
| tiona1ists have forces ranging from
/ one hundred to six thousand Huer-
/ ta's garrisons in that territory have
| been almost wiped out. He has re-
Gently suffered disastrous losses at
| Torreon and San Pedro, and the
/ constitutionalists paid heavily for
| their victories. 1t is doubtful, in
/ deed, that at this moment either
| Huerta or the constituencies have
as many men in fighting, trim as they
had a month ago, when the United
States received its consuls' reports.
Mexico's navy is neglible It is
{. credited, to be sure, with five cruis-
lers, two destroyers and about twelve
hundred men, but in the face Of the
i fleet now gathered al Tampico and
Vera Cruz, it would be like fly &c
an eagle. Of Nexico's fifteen mill
ions Of population, twelve million:
or more are Indians and half-breeds
There are only about three million
whites.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
A GOOD-SIZED WAR

The Star is not in the least sur
prised that Carranza, Villa and
their 'constitutionalists' threaten to
join forces with the federals against
the United States. 1t is just what
the Star expected them to do.
Patriotism, as We understand it,
is scarce in Mexico. Reasoning men,
who want to see their country peace
full in an enlightened way, are in the
minority. They are entirely DOM
ineered by the swashbucklers, who
use the common people for tools.
The war ahead of US is no picnic.
1T will not be surprising if the Mex
leans develop enough strength along
the border to give considerable trou-
BILE for the first two months. There
are only 10000 men in our regular
army. of which many are in the
Philippines and Hawaii. 1t is doubt
full If there are at first more than
$4,000 available along the frontier
line, which from Brownsville on the
gulf to the Pacific is 1900 miles
long
All along this border, however, is
a population, we'll versed in the use
of arms. This population is mostly
American but there are many Mex
leans in it, some of whom are bound
to sympathize with Mexico.
The threat of Villa to teach the
gringoes a lesson" may have been
made for him by some correspond
ent, but it is no use to ignore the
fact that it is in the power of him.
self and his men to give us consid-
erabIe trouble 1t is hardly likely
they will capture Ell Paso or any
other city, but there is likely to be
considerable trouble along the Dor
der until the American nation be-
gins to swarm out in its strength
The more trouble there is for ou1
people in the beginning, the worse
it will be for Mexico in the end.

Half a Million More for Roads.

During the first twenty months OF
the Hadley administration the amount
appropriated and expended on public
roads by the State was only SIS, $40.
During the first twenty months of the
Major administration the amount was
t617,O 4, a difference in favor of the
Democrats of 1881, O44. Every dollar
of this money came from automobile
licenses and other sources other
than regular taxation. During
the same period, without any increase
in the State levy, the State spent
$40, 1856 more for public schools than
it spent during the same period Of

Good News for the Farmer.

The Bell Telephone Company has
backed up on its decision to increase
the rate on rural phones to 81 a
month. This will mean saving OF
5Ocents a month or IS a year to many
thousand farmers in Missouri. The
Bell Company some months ago filed
with the State Utilities Board notice
to the effect that patrons Of rural
lines who had been getting service at
$3.50 month would be required to
pay 81. The Board with characteristic
zeal, Immediately instituted an inquiry
to determine if there were just
grounds for such an increase. It
found there were none and gave
notice to the Bell Company that it
could not sanction the proposed in
crease. The Bell Company this week
withdrew its notice Of a change in
rate and agreed to continue giving
first.cass service to Missouri farmers
at the same old price. The Utilities
Board was created by Democratic
Legislature and its members were ap-
pointed by a Democratic Governor. It
has made satisfactory settlement of
nearly one thousand complaints and
disputes between public service corp
orations and their patrons and has
not only saved. to the people many
times its cost but has put into the
State treasury nearly $4,000 in fees
Il has earned for them.
