Mud Slides
Delay Trains

Mixed mud and rock slides in Glen
wood canon early Thursday night de-
layed the arrival here of all east
bound d. & r. G. trains from six to
eight hours. The trouble was caused
by the melting of the recent heavy
snowfall on the mountains along the
Western slope. resulting in small ava
lanches of snow and mud sweeping
down the hillsides. burying the rail-
road track at several places in the
cuts and canons. In consequence of
the slides Rio Grande passenger train

hours late in reaching here today.
The derailment OF freight car in

dition Of the roadbed. Nobody was

New Cement Floor
Being Laid In
Colpacko Plant

new cement floor, covering the
full extent of the floor space of the
canning factory of the Colorado Pack
ing Corporation is being laid under
the direction of Lorentz Ritzman. This
is being done to make the drainage Of
the plant more satisfactory. The
first floor did not have the proper
pitch. and as a consequence water
would stand at certain spots. To
overcome this feature and to make
the plant more sanitary several thou
sand dollars is being spent in this i'm
provement.
Three carloads of cement have been
used this spring in cement work in
an dabout the plant. The shafting for
the machinery is to be reset and all
of the various machines are to be
placed more advantageously SO that
the big amount of canning planned
for this season can be done more
quickly.

TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREBLED SINCE 1883
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Meet country's
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
than one-third of the railways Of the
world The traffic hauled on the rail-
ways of the United States is now three
times as great as it was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then in q year,
IL the three months alone Of the har-
vest movement in 1919 the traffic equal
ed that of the whole year Of 1898. i
In 1898 freight ton miles carried hyf
the railroads Of the country were mOrel
than 100000. .00O,o0O year. In 1o10I
they were more than 10000. .O0O. .O0l
in 1913 more than 300, ,OOO, 600, 600 andI
in 1918 more than 10000, 100000. ALL
though the railway mileage increasedl
only about 65 per cent since 1890, ina-l
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment, etc, have been SO marked thatl
the volume Of goods carried measured!
In the number Of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than 6veI
times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account Of both freight andl
passenger service, the railroads In 1900
hauled $4,000 traffic units (freighrI
tons carried one mile, plus passengers!
carried one mile) for each railway en-
ployee. By 1917, the last year Of pri-|
vate operation of the railroads prior to,
the entry of the United States into the|
war, that 10000 had been increased
to $4,000.
The following table shows the I'M
crease In efficiency of American rail-
roads since 1900, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
OF the country:
Ton miles increased. ...... 10OE
Passenger miles increased. 170R
Trackage increased ........ 56E
Cars and engine increased. I5Ge
Workers increased ......... S5T
Output per worker increased 0OTs
Average traia load increased 1907
These figures show that the traAEe
hauled by the railroads Of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
of workers This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment Of new
capital to increase the efficiency Of the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to increase the
amount Of traffic handled and reduce
the amount Of labor required to han6ae
if
