OF the condition of the cows. Many
ranchmcn are shipping their calves to
market and for the next two or three
years there probably will be marked
shortage OF young Texas cattle.
West Texas banks have come to the
aid of the eattlemen in lending them
money with which to buy feed and also
make shipments
A Birmingham, Ala business man,
owner of big ranch about 1870 miles
west of Fort Worth. came to Texas
few weeks ago to sell the property. He
said he had reduced the cattle on his
ranch from herds valued at 100000 to
about $4,000, but he expected that with
good rains and seasons the herds would
be built up again.
The wives of ranehmen generally are
refraning from the purchase of new
spring and summer dresses, in keeping
with the spirit of economy, and automo-
bile statesmen from West Texas say that
there is no demand for new automobiles.

CAR SHORTAGE GROWS:
FREIGHT TIE UP SEEN
Repetition Of Last Winters Freight
Blockade Probable Railway
Experts Say.

Washington. .Iuly l3-In the light of
experience with trans pOrtatIOn difficulties
during the winter of l917-lS, chiefs of
the | 'nIted States railroad administration
consider that additional locomotives are
more necessary now than additional freight
cars
Discussing the decision recently an
nounced to build lO0,0 new cars for
American railroads during the present
wear railroad administration officials
saw the number was fixed only after every
locomotive that existing facilities could
turn out during the next year had been
ordered.
1t was not a shortage OF cars that
brought about congestion In the past, y
il is said at the Railroad Administration
'In fact, SO many cars got jammed up In
terminals that they nearly blocked tran
spOrtatiOn themselves. The shortage was
IN motive power. So IN considering the
matter this year. when the war industries
board fixed the amount of steel which
il would allot to railroad use, we assigned
to the engine shops every pound that
there was a reasonable chance of getting
into a new locomotive this year. Any
engine builder who can increase his capa-
city can still get orders.
OF steel available was made, and as many
cars as can come out of it were ordered
That happened to be 100000 They are

adopted because it will get more out OF
the steel supply. Only the event itself
will show, but we consider that the con
struction ordered will be sufficient To
meet the strains, though all of our cal
CulatiOns are based upon an increased
traffic burden for railroads next year
Samuel o Dunn editor Of the Railway
Age Gazette Of Chicago, using figures
compiled by Slason Thompson, head Of
the Bureau of Railway News and Statis-
tics, has made a prediction that the new
car construction will not obviatc short
age when crop and coal movements pile
upon railroads after October. He de-
clares that 125000 freight cars are worn
out and junked normally each year by
American roads, and that during recent
years new construction has failed TO keep
pace with wastage There were 4,072
fewer freight cars IN use on American
railroads in 1917 than there were at the
beginning Of 1911, he concluded placing
the present total at approximately $500
600 This total, he asserts, is $50, 600
short Of the number required to handle
the freight
THE original shortage which was re-
sponsible mainly for the chaos Of last
winter will have to be increased rather
than decreased" he said in statement
upon the administration car building
program, and at that ! learned at re-
cent conferences at Washington that cans
have not thus far been turned out as fast
as they might have been"
