SYSTEM OF MARKETING
BOOSTS PRICE OF EGGS

Fort Worth. Tex. Jan. 2.-The recent
high price Of eggs has caused the
Farmers Union to conduct an investi-
CATION into the poultry conditions of
the nation, and Peter Radford. lee
turer Of the National Farmers Union.
gave out the following statement con-
cerning conditions in this state and
the nation.
I'VE market e5 per cent Of our egg
crop In April, May and June. altho the
consumption Of eggs runs very nearly
: even -thTuout the entire year. The
American farmer today is paying the
middleman the princely sum of $685.
100000 per annum for storing and
selling his eggs. This sum of money
would build and equip sufficient stor-
axe to care for the agricultural pro-
dncticn Of the nation. The value Of
the nations egg production during a
decade is equivalent in value to all the
farm property in Texas; would build a
city the size Of st. Louis and would
ray the national debts Of Spain. Japan
and the United States combined.
s.The poultry year census of contin-
entail United States taken by the Fed
eral government, shows that the farm
ers OF this country gather approxi-
nately 1881, 1,311.0oO dozen eggs per
annum, which sells a farm price of
43O8, ,ssS, $50. and a retail price of $685.

market reports, are marketed about as

Especial Correspondence.1
washington, Jan. 2.-From time to
time. consular reports have dealt with
the successful city-owned street rail-
ways Of England. Vice Consul Rice K
Evans has lately made report on the
street railway situation in Sheffield
The city has owned the street railways
there since 1896 and, according to Mr.
Rice, has since demonstrated beyond
dispute that street railways in this
city. at least. can be operated at q
handsome profit, pay good wages. and
accommodate the travelling public all
on q basis OF or 2 cent fares"
Other successful municipally-o
street railways in England include
those Of Bradford, Huddersfield. Man
chester. Liverpool. Hull and q number
Of other cities. The report of Mr.
Evans goes into the Sheffield situa-
ton in detail and will doubtless be
much studied by persons interested In
the municipal ownership Of street
railways In this country.
The Sheffield system has open for
traffic over forty-eigm miles of track
Of which thirty-eight are double The
construction. both Of track base and
overhead equipment. is said to be OF
the most approved, modern and dur
able nature. Track construction is by

Two Cent Fare PrevaiIs.
While the regulation fare 1s'2 cents,
there are 1-cent stages thruout the
business section OF the city which
range from one-half to three quarters
Of . mile. The local public uses the
lines to the extent Of 207 miles per
head of population per annun.
For the year Just passed, the Shef-
ield corporation ran its street cars
over moresfhan 5000 900 miles and car
ried approximately 100,o00,000 passen-
gers, an average Of 1895 passengers
Der car per mile at an average fare per
passenger of $40 cents. The system.
moreover, made a handsome net profit
In the year.
The report shows the net revenue
account for the year amounted to
3763, ,s55. After paying interest and ap-
plying $145,000 to reserve fund for
renewals. repairs and maintenance, the
sum Of $22S,S55 was turned over to the
city for reduction Of municipal taxes
and sundry general improvements.
Since 1899, the street car system has
paid over to the municipality to reduce
taxes and make improvements for city
purposes, over $2,0O0,00OO.

so again, and the girl was heir ia
much. 1t was worth trying Sartoris
cut In on her thoughts with:
''The more l see OF women like Mrs.
D'Aquila, the sweeter. the fresher, the
dearer seem the natural. real, true
girls-the girls like you. Di. You've
been an awfully good pal to me. and
want to see you I've never talked
nonsense and love to you. Di. and I'LL
that bally rot. but I've learned to love
you for yourself and because I've seen
the world and know your worth in it.
I'm not saint. but every hour with
you makes inan better. makes him
try to be more worthy Is it quite
impossible Think. Di! 1 am the
heir to the title, and with you as my
wife the Beverley fortune AID the
Beverley title would be brought to-
gether."
Not all of this speech Lady Diana
heard. Now she slightly smiled and
made commonplace gesture. She re-
