Trinidad, Wash.-Engineer William

was delayed for eight hours. The in

What caused the wreck could not
be learned. The fast mail was more
than seven hours late when the acct

order over the curve, the rule being
that no train travel faster than 10
miles an hour at this point owing to
the short curve. Several other trains
had just preceded the fast mail over
the track. Mr.. DeRush was said to
be the best engineer on the line.

General Trade Conditions.

timism as to fall trade has not abated
the crop situation is better, govern
mental buying is expanding, and in.
dustry, taken as a whole, continues
very active. Most reports regarding
wholesale trade, while admitting lack
or snap, agree that business is good,
being relatively better in the crop
growing sections than elsewhere, and
1t is generally felt that fall trade will
be of large proportions.
In cities where army camps are To-
Gated retail trade is not above fair.
Labor is scarce, is inefficient, and the

unrest, while mobilization under the

HERB HOOVER AIMS At
SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL
Talks at Chicago Of Problems to Edi.
tors Of Farm Newspapers-No
Meat Control.


Chicago.-Herbert C. Hoover, fed
eral food administrator, explained Sat
urday to editors of agricultural papers
and representatives of newspapers
from agricultural districts the neces
sity for administering the supply OF
foodstuffs, told of the problem that
confronted those who were dealine
with the subject, and asked their CO
operation in the work to be done.
Objects to Word Control
He objected to the word control
In connection with food conservation
In the main, wished to rely on vol
untary effort and patriotic coopera.
tion. All sections of the country were
represented at the conference.
Mr.. Hoover made 1t clear in a state
ment which will be authorized later
that the purpose was to deal as fairly
with all interests as was possible and
that In order that this intention might
become fact it was essential that all
should act in similar spirit.
He denied there is any foundation
for a statement that the food admins
tration has any intention of fixing
prices OF beef or pork products.
Before Mr.. Hoover left Chicago he
was handed formal request from the
packers that he appoint a federal die
tator Immediately to take over entire
control of the live stock industry.
The shortage in European produc-
ton of foodstuffs caused by the d.
version of millions Of men from pro-
ductive labor to war and the deple-
ton of the soil, he said, has thrown
upon this nation the responsibility of
Increasing the exports of both wheat
and meat.

MINING NOTES

Increased production of lead dur.
ing the half year ended June 80. COM
pared with the same period in 1915. is
shown in the geological surveys mid
year report, which also showed aver
age increased prices for the period of
cents pound.
The regular monthly dividend Of
$7S,15O was declared by the Caledonia
Mining Co. at it's Office in kellogg.
Idaho, near which the mine is stu
ated. This is at the rate of three cents
share. Disbursements will be made
September s. The forthcoming pay.
ment will raise the total of disburse-
ments to $2,606,791. The earnings of
July were about $4,000. This is $4S,-
$50 in excess of the dividend require
ment.
1t is anticipated that the Stewart
mine will shortly be restored to the
d1vidend-paying basis, says New
York report. The advance in the price
OF silver and outlook for increased out.
put of the mines of the company is
placing the Stewart in a materially
better position. The Nabob and Den.
yer properties, in Idaho, which Stew
art owns through control of the Nabob
Consolidated, are showing greater
promise than originally anticipated.
Moreover, the new mill being construct.
ed at the silver properties of Tusca.
rora, New, should be in operation with.
In the next 80 days. The mill will
have a capacity of $50 tons of ore daily
and should average a substantial rev.
enue for the Stewart company, espe.
cially in view of the present high
price of silver.
The Consolidated Interstate-C Callahan
Mining Co., operating in the Occur
dAlene region of Idaho, shipped ore
having a net value Of $727,115 during
the second quarter of the current year,
according to a statement from John
A. Percival, president. To this is add.
ed $685. in miscellaneous receipts.
making the total net value $735,OOO.
A deduction of $324,513 for operating
costs leaves profits of $4O8,9 less
$69, $50 for improvements, leaves a sur
plus of $339,456 for the quarter. Dur.
inf the quarter the company acquired
majority interest in the Silver State
Mining Co., which adjoins the Inter-
state. The three-compartment shaft is
being sunk from the No. z level $50

Railroad Earnings Show Record.

Record prosperity for the railroads
Is shown in interstate commerce com.
mission returns for June.
The 153 roads covered by the figures,
operating three-fourths Of the coun-
try's mileage, reported that their net
revenue increased nearly $4,000, 900
over June, 1916, the previous record
month, and reached a total of $685.
1923. Operating revenues increased
more than $38,000,0O0, totaling s273.-
867,527, while expenses were approx
mately $30,00O,000 higher than a year
ago.
The greatest increase is shown by
western roads whose operating rev.
enues jumped from $94, OOO,O0O to $110,.
OOO,OOO. Expenses increased approx
mately $1O,OO0,000, leaving net rev.
enues from operation of $39, 616,950, or
about 100000 more than in June,
1916.
Eastern roads show an increase in
net revenue Of approximately $780,
100000. Operating revenues increased
$16,OOO,000. totaling $12O,865, 1852, while
expenses increased approximately 314.-
100000. In the southern district oper.
ating revenues show an increase of
more than $7000,00O, reaching 342..
1883. Expenses increased approx
mately $6.000,00O. leaving net revenues
$12,494,159, approximately 100000
higher than year ago.
Preliminary figures covering the
first six months Of 1917 show an ex-
cess of 100000 in net revenues over
the record figures of year ago. The
returns are interpreted as indicating
that the railroads will exceed in 1917
by many millions the banner figures
recorded last year.
Total operating revenues of the 153
roads during the first six months were
$l,489,248,7O2, an increase Of $163,OOO.-
OOO over the first six months of 1916.
Expenses totalling $1,O65, 281,72O were
approximately $160,50O,O 900 greater than
a year ago.
The upward turn came Id NAV. when
the total earnings showed I'D slightly
better than in May, 1916. Thirty.three
roads still are to be heard from. and
on the basis of the reports already in.
total operating income Of all the roads
for June should show $4,000, 900
increase, at least over June, 1916. The
complete returns, 1t is estimated, will
snow the enormous total Of 81 800. OOO..
OoO In operating incomes during the
1rst six months of the current year.
The increase In operating recenues for
Ill roads during the period is expected
% amount to approximately $4,000.
300. V-''0o0'
On the basis Of the figures It ia not
unlikely that the roads will receive in
1911 an increase of 20 per cent over
ne previous high total. Expenses, of
course, have scared to new heights
llso. but the margin between revenues
ma expenses Is expected to be greater
han ever before.
