INCREASE FREIGHT CAPACITY
Reports Just compiled by the war
board show that the railroads have
already effected an extraordinary
improvement in the amount of coal
handled in the country as a whole
The first important official act of the
board was to direct that railroads
give preference to the movement OF
coal. In June the railroads handled
750,323 cars of bituminous coal, an
increase of 26.2 per cent. over June
1916. Untitled car orders showed
a reduction on June 80 of nearly 90
per cent. compared with the preced-
ing month.

 Bisbee is built up hill and down dale. It is here and there and everywhere. Its sometimes mis- nomers these give little for the tumble of numbers that are now found them.
 John Brown stranger comes to Bsbee. He is search ing John Smith, distant cousin of his He may have address-S7 School Hill After searching all of School Hll-and it is exceedingly difficult to determine where School Hill begins and endshe may be able to locate John Smith. Number 37 may be top it may at the bottom Number 37 is probably the result of the activity of who merely desired to label lis house informative direction purposes
 We have the city council appropriate money for handsome park streets, which have made good, and numerous other things. On the other hand hear the complaint of business people and, in fact everyone else that the should be named and the houses numbered. Let when the budget is made up if really needed reform not receive some attention from our aldermen?
