NORTH AND SOUTH TRADE.
Battle Greek Enquirer.)

ADdlllt Altth enquirer
The most inviting and promising
trade in the future will be along north
ern and southern rather than east
ern and western lines. No more trans
continental railroads are needed. A
ship canal from the south end Of
Lake Michigan to Lake Erie is not a
commercial necessity.
The natural exchange of products is
between the northsand the south, says
the Jackson Patriot. An artificial wa
terway from Lake Erie TO the Ohio
river is worth talking about. The
largest increase Of population in the
future Will be in the milder climates.
This is inevitable for economic reasons.
The cost Of living is highest in the
colder regions.
The Panama canal opens up for
trade with this country the entire
west coast of South America. This
means more north and south trade.
The Cincinnati Enquirer presents the
matter in its true light when il says
that what is really needed is the
deepening and placing in modern shape
and full operation OF the canal run
ming directly north from Cincinnati TO
Lake Erie, and the fullest possible de-
velopment Of the Ohio river as "A wa
ter highway for interstate and inter
national commerce. giving all these
valley states dependable water trans
pOrtation 10 the high seas"
After the present ineXcusable war
ends the era OF military conQuests
Will cease-the folly Of carnage and
death will be emphasized and avoid
ed-and the conQuests OF the future
will be those Of peace and progress.

new equipment. The additional cash
is Tor lines west of Pittsburgh. This
makes total OF S2S. 900, 900, to be ex-
pended for improved system on the
entire system
The inquiries sent out by the man
agement at Pittsburgh state that the
system Will need $500 freight cars
hlty locomotives and thirty-five all
steel passenger cars. Like the equip
ment for the lines east that of the
llnes west will also be of all-steel con-
struction.
The statement issued by the COM
pany yesterday merely made known
the requirements and did not give the
amount TO be expended upon the ma
terlal and equipment. It was esti-
mated, however, as being nearly S.
100000
The expenditure as contemplated bv
the management of the Pennsylvania
Will boom business in each of the in
dustries directly affected. Now that
the Pennsylvania has made known its
total requirements for the ensuing
year the other carriers are expected to
issue some statement within the next
few weeks.
At the present time there are about
sV,VVO Irelght cars on the lines west
with an annual normal vacancy OF
5000 cars. In 1914 no new cars were
ordered. Those to be built this year
will be as requirements to the present
equipment.
Counting the inquiries made by the
lines east and those by the lines west
the Pennsylvania system has now ask
ed Tor prices on material and equip
ment which includes 1925 freight
cars, 194 locomotives and 1S1 aIl-steeI
passenger cars.
Most of the cars will be built in the
Juniata shops of the railroad at AL
toona- The orders will furnish en-
ployment TO thousands of men. many
OF whom are not working full time.
