NEUROLOGY

He was takeh i'll with pneumonia
two weeks ago To-Day at the G I'D
Flint mine in GllpA County about
nine miles from Bladk Hawk, the
nearest point available, to bring him
home and as he hal to'p- driven
that far it was thought p-u lent
to bring him on through rather
than have him come by way Of the
railroad from Black Hawk as that
would necessitate him sto 1ping
at the Forks much longer time
than would require being driven
from Black Hawk. For over a
week he suffered from pneu-
monia but he seemed 10 get some
better until the disease turned
into Typhoid fever that resulted
10 his death. He had tine
very best attention given him
by his mother and the three sis
ters residing here and the closest
services of DR.. Fraser, the family
physician. James was born IN
Reynoldsville, Pa, a little over
u years ago. He came to this
city about IS years ago. and after
leaving the schools of this city
was in the employ Of Roberts
Bros, Mercantile company for six
years when he began mining
which pursuit he followed until
his recent sickness. He is sur
vlved by his mother to whom he
gave the kindest and most devoted
filial attention and assistance, five
sisters, Mrs. Fred Miller of KIT
tanning, Pa, Mrs. John Bates OF
Denver, Colo. Mrs. J. r. White.
Mrs. Ed, Rowse. Miss Syvills, the
latter now at ding high school.
His brother Tom. arrived here on
Monday evening, from Victor,
Colo a d o, where he has been
working. In the death of Jim
this community has lost a young
man who was esteemed by all
with whom he a>socia ted and one
who was very industrious and ca
pable in his vocation. He not
only was pleasant with the irdi-
vidual associates but contributed
in a very large degree to the plea
sure of the com munity as was evil
denced during several base ball
seasons by his earuestness in these
games. To the writer he was q
warm personal friend and the
most heartfelt sympathies go out
to his relatives.
The funeral will be held at the
Methodist Church at z O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon and the sermon
will be preached by Rev. 9. f..
Liston. The interment will be
made in the family lot IN the Ida.

even every year has seen an increase
in weight of these engines with the

beds, rails and bridges to carry
Them. 1t is believed that it is a fact
that the railroads of the United
States have to change their entire
equipment once every ten years.
This includes not only new design
of rails and rolling stock, but the
ILLUMINATION of curves, the making of
large cuts and fills to reduce grades
and the enlargement of terminals.
The public demands greater speed
we must get there quickly at any
cost-we must turn out more work
than our fathers did-it is our de-
sire to make the human being more
efficient. Our highways present a
condition somewhat similar to the
railroad although they do not show
the same rapid development.
The motor truck, which Is des-
tined to change the method of con-
struction of our roads, is but of re-
cent commercial use. Although con-
ceived back as far as 1910 it did not
become of value as an agent of
transportation until 1894, and not
until the last few years has it be-
come of large use. In 1911 over
$4,000 motor cars were built in the
United States and this number ex-
ceeded all built prior to that time.
In 1913 $4,000 were built and in
d1cations point to the fact that the
number of trucks going into service
will double each year until highway
commerce becomes completely mo-
torized. 1t is this vehicle more than
any other which makes necessary
the concrete road.
In 1912 the railroads carried e.
OOO,O0O,000 tons of freight and yet
in the same year over our highways
there was transported 100000, 900
tons-three and one-half times as
much. Realizing the conditions of
some of our roads, the cost of this
hauling must have been enormous.
Most of this traffic, of course, went
over the ten per cent of our roads
which are improved, thus subjecting
them to severe test. Did you ever
realize that there are only about as
many miles of improved roads in the
United States as there are miles of
railroads? Most of these roads are
Of a type which belongs to a past
era and which stood up we'll when
subjected to the slow moving horse
and comparatively light loads. Yet
hose roads now have to support and
care for more freight than the rail-
roads.
