FRISCO TO MEND.
 2l MILES OF TRACK
Will Improve Ihleafrom Turrell, Ark, to NJ emphis, Says Superintendent
 i of Ozark Division.

m4his, March 1o,-Twenty y-one miles Of Fffsco Track from Turrell, Ark, }to Memphis, will be improved immediately, according to C. H. Bait zell, of Thayer, Mo-, superintendent of the Ozark division of the road. Mir. Baltzell, in order better to get a line on the needs of the track between Turrell and Memphis, walked the, en- tire distance to Memphis over the ties yesterday morning.
 The improvements, for which bal last already has been ordered by the road, will cost approximately $25,000. Ninety-pound rails,i which have been fused in this sections, on the Kansas | City-Memphis main line, will be strengthened and relayed in many places and piling driven in the low places better to preserve the road bed. About 5000 new creosoted ties will be used to replace defective ties in the 21-mile strip.
 Extensive expenditures for mainte- nance will be made by the Frisco this year." declared MT. Baltzell. "On the main line, and especially the Kansas City, Memphis division, track will be put in first class condition and every effort will be made to make operat- ing as nearly perfect as possible. When our Improvements are complet- ed we believe that no road in the Mis- sissippi valley will have better facili- ties for train service than we will have.
 Business on the main line has been excellent. Missouri farmers are look ing forward to prosperous year, and from all indications the open winter we have had will allow them an early start on blowing. Some already are beginning this operation"

SEATTLE, Dec. ,.-The number of jobless men has become so great n the Puget Sound cities as to cause the municipal authorities to consider various means of providing sufficient work to enable those with families, at least, to earn sufficient to maintain them. The old Hotel de Gink' has been revived here, and is affording shelter for several hum dred single men who have an organ ization for their mutual benefit, part of the expenses being paid by the city and the men in return doing add jobs for the city.
 The manager of the city employ ment office at Everett reported at least 1000 men out of employment there because of the closing down of mills and camps with the pros- pect of the number being doubled before spring. The municipality there is providing work on streets for men with families. F
 a. State Senator J. E. Campbell will introduce a bill in the legislature designed to relieve the statewide condition of jobless men by calling for an appropriation of $250,00O to be utilized, with discretion and care by a committee to be named by the governor.
