The best way. for those who are in such

break the journey at some convenient

We chose Lucerne as our rest station
and found the journey interesting in both
stages. This involves chance of cars
at Bale, Basic or Basel-according to
the selected national way of spelling the
frontier city-but. inasmuch as n customs
inspection is here regarded as absolutely

examination is TO make everybody leave
the train anyway. the shift is not to be
regarded as a waste Of effort
These customs inspections are. in point

the following suggestions are made
for which the widest publicity is So
licited:
"First-Move all the coal, lumber,
cement and other supplies that you
can before the heavy crop movement
starts.
"Second-Load and unload all cars
as quickly as possible. tIf, without
additional cost, the 5 of greater
force will get the load ready for
movement or the car released more
quickly, do it.
"Third-Load all cars to the full
capacity. "A leeway of 10 per cent
above the marked capacity is permit
ted before reduction of load is re-
quired. All ears should so far as
possible be loaded to a weight be-
tween the marked capacity and 10
per cent above.
"Fourth-Anticipate the DISPOSE
ton of freight before its arrival.
"Fifth-Only order such cars as
can be loaded promptly. COrder for
, cars should state the number requir-
ed for that days loading, the kind OF
cars, the final destination Of the
shipment and the routing via which
IL will move.)
'Sixth-Reduce to the minimum
the practice of billing cars to inter
mediate points to be held for recon.
signment."

appointed by Gov. Byrne to consider
the feasibility of securing a South

San Francisco exposition, a resolu-
tion was adopted in favor of the prof.
ect. The commission will solicit the
cooperation of newspapers and com
mercial clubs throughout the state in
an endeavor to raise funds for the
project. The estimate is that at
least $4,000 will be needed for a
proper showing. No definite plans
were devised for procuring funds, but
several promising ideas were dis
cussed. One of these was the issu-
ance of special souvenirs to be sold
over the state. Another meeting of
the commission will be held Satur-
day at Ruskin park.

Sioux City, July 24.-Fright at the
thought of having an aching tooth
pulled is believed TO have induced a
stroke of a~poplexy which caused the
death of Mrs. Amelia Seekatz of New

pital.
Mrs. Seekatz died a short time aft
err a visit to the office of a Sioux City
dentist. Mrs. SeekatZ made an ap-
pointment with a dentist TO pull a
tooth. When she entered his office
she broke out in a cold sweat. A
moment later she took her place in
the chair, but had scarcely seated
herself when she grew faint.
The dentist started to give her a
glass of water, but Mrs. Seekatz
swooned. Efforts TO revive her fail
ed, and the dentist called an ambu-
lance and sent her to the hospital.
At the hospital Mrs. Seekatz died a
few moments after being carried to
bed. Her death took place within ar
hour after she had entered the den

GRAIN SHIPPING
WESTERN RAILROADS ANXIOUS
TO AVOID A BLOCKADE.

There are grave fears that the
railroad companies will not be able
to handle the immense grain crops of
the middle west without much delay.
The association Of western railroads
has. given the moving of the bumper
crops much study and they believe
that If the shipper and receiver will
work in harmony with the Industrial
traffic managers and commercial
clubs a practical blockade Of grain
shipments will be avoided. The as
ISOLATION of western railroads has
sent the following circular broadcast
yer the entire middle west:
Two years ago In anticipation of
the large tonnage which the railroads
would be<required to move as a re-
suit of the heavy crops of that year,
this association appealed to the ship
pers and receivers of freight for CO.
operation in obtaining the maximum
use of freight equipment. The re-
suits of that appeal and the interest
manifested by the shippers through
out the country, were very gratifying.
The present prospect of excep-
tionally heavy crops warrants an ap-
peal OF the same nature at this time.
In spite Of the fact that a great
surplus of cars has existed for some
time, the surplus of box cars is not
SO great as to warrant any feeling of
security and unless the cooperation
suggested below can be had, the pros
poets are for a difficulty in moving
these crops which may affect disad-
.vantageousfy the interests of the
shippers and receivers alike.
The railroads are making every
effort which their will per-

ice and in other directions to prepare
themselves to handle the traffic with
