come as acute in Canada as in the
United States is indicated by the fact
that the roads in the states have found
it necessary to go beyond a demur-
rage raise, and increase the charge of
one railroad to another, for the use OF
cars. The Canadian roads have not
vet indicated that they@plan to take
this step. Nor is their demurrage in
crease as large as that put into forcc
by the United States railroads.
A National Problem.
A prominent Canadian railroad man
has summarized the situation there as
follows:
Car shortage has become l prob
lem of national Importance. There is
a demand in every part of the domin-
ion for cars, and meanwhile the term
inals at all large centers are congest-
ed by cars which are being held, in
many cases for weeks, awaiting un-
loading. All the shippers are not to
blame for this condition. The figures
show that the majority do not detain
cars beyond the period which has
been agreed upon as sufficient for un-
loading. but on the other hand there
are hundreds of others who do not ap-
pear to be willing to make any real
effort to unload consignments prompt
ly.
Every dollar received by the rail-
roads in demurrage represents a car
which has been withheld from the
use of some other shipper for day
The Canadian railroads are at present
receiving about $4,000 a month in
demurrage charges, representing 90,-
600 cars held up each month, one day
over the limit, or 900 held two days.
At this rate this will amount to over
a million dollars a year or a million
cars held up one day above the ordi-
nary time. But for this wholesale de-
tention of cars as shown in the demur-
rage collections there would be 5000
more cars each day at the disposal of
shippers and most important ad-
vance would be made toward the solu-
ton of the car shortage problem

WILL BE UNIFORM RATES.
No More Variation Between Tourist
Routes, Says l. C. c.

After February Is, it will either
cost passengers from Chicago and the
middle west more to go to San Fran
cisco and other California points by
way of the southern route, thru Texas,
or it will cost them less to go by th.
northern route, thru Tacoma, Seattle
and Portland In the past the roads
which handle thru tourist traffic have
made a practice of charging more for
the northern route, so that a major
1ty of the passengers choose the south
ern trip The chambers of commerce
in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland have
lodged a strenuous protest with The
interstate commerce commission and
the commission has given the various
roads until February 1 5 to establish
a uniform rate between Chicago and
the Pacific coast points, on both
routes
The difference in fare, on a round
trip ticket from Topeka to San Fran
cisco, has hitherto been just $40. The
difference will be abolished. Which
way it will go remains to be seen.

ROADS MAKE PROFIT.
Statement for First Four Months of
Year Shows Increases

During the first four months of the
fiscal year which will end on June 80
1917, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe road made a net operating income
of $16,777.OO6. During the same
period, the Rock Island cleared S.
422,232, and the Union Pacific cleared
$11, 1,329,017. BY cleared" is meant
that the actual expenses of operating
the roads and maintaining the rights
of way and equipment, were less than
the revenue derived from the freight,
passenger and mail revenues.
Each set of figures shows an in
crease over the same figures for last
year. The Santa Fe's profit was an
increase of $3,603,006 over that of
last year; the Union Pacific showed an
increased profit of s2,5S7.9S3, and the
Rock Islands was S3,S26,69S more
than it was for the first four months
of 1916.
Freight Pays Best.
In the case of each road, by far the
greatest revenue came from the NOV
ing of freight, indicating that the ex-
ira heavy traffic which has resulted in
car shortages. the use of every sort
of equipment that can be persuaded to
stay on the rails, embargoes against
freight and increased demurrage and

HANDSOME PoSTOFFICE
is REPORTED PURNED.

MACON, March pa long-distance
telephone message received here from
near Augusta shortly before midnight
stated that the handsome postoffice
building, completed only a few days
ago, and occupied this month by the
postoffice force. has been destroyed.
The building was one of the handsom-
est in the country, and all of the gov
eminent officials had not finished re-
moving into it.
Telegraph and telephone wires into
Augusta are down, and communication
is difficult. Both telegraph offices
quickly established working lines, but
they are so crowded that definite facts
about the fire appear to be impossible.
The report that the postoffice building
has been destroyed was received from
two sources, however and, as the fire
earlier in the night was sweeping in
that direction, it is believed that the
handsome new structure is gone.

COMMISSIONERS HERE;
DELAYED BY HIGH WINDS
AT SATILLA RIVER FERRY
(continued From First Pase.)

were informed Of the delay at Wood
bine and returned TO the city, but a
large number of citizens were on hand
at the Oglethorpe to welcome the Wis
itOrs upon their arrival
: Last Nights Banquet.
Though somewhat fatigued from
their days experiences, it did not take
the commissioners and those who are
accompanying them very long to wash
the sand out of their eyes, after they
did arrive in Brunswick last night and,
to great extent they were repaid for
their trouble by the very cordial well
come extended them by the people of
Brunswick and the magnificent ban
,quet rendered them at the Oglethorpe
hotel.
Seated around the tables were the
commissioners who are on the trip,
the Savannah delegation who are ac-
companying the officials on the tour,
delegations from Waycross, Fitzgerald
Douglas and other points on the so
called short route, and many of Bruins
wick's prominent citizens. The menu
was a most inviting one, and the visit
ors all seemed to have thoroughly en-
joyed all the good things that were
offered them.
Frank ID. Aiken, POSTMASTER, in a
very neat manner, made the opening
address. welcoming the visitors and as
surfing them of Brunswick's happiness
in having them as her guests. He de-
plored the fact that we could not CON
troll the wind and the tides He then
introduced Judge d. w. Krauss, who
on the part of the people of this city,
and in short talk urged upon the
commissioners the manifold advant-
ages of the eastern route.
City Attorney j. T. Colson also made
| a short talk on the same line.
The first speaker among the visitors
was Judge NJ. NJ. Allison of Chattanoo-
ga, president of the association. The
| Judge who is an al-round good fellow,
made very happy talk, and suggest
ed that Brunswick and Savannah
should not feel that the events of the
day should initiate against the eastern
route so far as he was concerned. He
s9Hl that time and tide waited for no
man and he was only glad that they
reached Brunswick in time to enjoy
the splendid hospitality of her people.
Other talks were made by Commits
sioner Harry l.. Gordon of Cincinnati,
who is also vice president of the as
ISOLATION and a former lieutenant gov
ernor of Ohio; by Clark Howell and
| w 7. Anderson, the Georgia members
of the commission. Both of the Geor-
gians made graceful talks, and while
they may differ as to the adaptability
of the two routes in question, one
J would not have guessed it by their
| talks last night.
Off This Morning.
! The commissioners accompanied by
| the Savannah delegation, together
with one or two local machines, will
leave this morning for Savannah.

SECTION OF AUGUSTA
BURNED LAST NIGHT
Continued From First Pase.)

this hour It seems that the fire will
destroy many other buildings.
Banks Are Gone.
In the burned district were located
practically all OF Augustus largest
banks and they are all in ashes. The
loss in these buildings is said to be
heavy.
After the arrival OF the visiting fire
departments it was expected that the
flames would be checked, but the
main water supply was so limited that
ineffective work resulted.
No Loss of Life.
While various reports are in circu
lation to the effect that three or four
lives were lost, as far as is known,
there has not been a fatality, though
a number of persons have been injur-
ed. Whether or not there really we're
any fatalities will not be known be-
fore tomorrow.
Accurate estimates as to the amount
of damage which has already resulted
is impossible. However, many amounts
have been suggested, and a conserva-
tive estimate is that property valued
at many millions has been destroyed.

It has not been determined yet. as
