Clipped Here and There

Attention has been so fastened on
deficient production that deficient dis
tribution has escaped its fair share of
the blame for high prices. A few ex-
amples given by Alfred w. McCann to
the New York Globe show that food
supplies have been scant and prices
high as much because of failure to
transport to market what was produced
enough. In reality the. work of pro-
is put in the consumers hands.
Cabbage is rotting in southern Texas
for lack of cars to transport it, while
the price is $50 ton on the farm and
New York is hungry for it.
Thousands of carloads of apples from
the Pacific Northwest froze for lack of
ears or ships to carry them to the At
lantic coast.
During the war thousands of tons of
oranges, grapefruit and pineappIes
rotted in Porto Rico. A man offered
to make them into TO- 200, 900 pounds of
jam for the army at the rate of ..
cents for 26 ounce cans. The war de-
partment could not accept because the
shipping board could not supply ships
for the short Atlantic voyage. The
war department bought millions of
pounds of jam in Tasmania, and the
shipping board found vessels to carry
it across the Pacific ocean to San Fran
cisco, where it was unloaded, then re-
loaded on other vessels for shipment
through the Panama canal to France.
Thst jam cost 81 cents for l6 ounces.
A large part of the high cost of liv
irg is due to defective transportation
1t leaves good food to rot or to be fed
to hogs, and it thereby discourages
farmers from producing as much food
as they might. If every farmer who
grows that which the public taste de
mands could be sure Of cars to II port
it and of quick delivery, he would grow
more, and consumers at the destination
would buy it if the price were moder
ate. The farmer must now have high
price because he can only sell as much
of his crop of perishables as the rail
roads can carry; if he could sell the
whole crop the price would be lower.
Despite the outcry about famine in
Europe and about decreased production.
the world probably produces enough
food for all its inhabitants if the sys-
tenn of distribution were so near to per-
fcetion as to carry food from the place
which has a surplus to that which has
a shortage. The job cannot be done by
a shipping board or a railroad admins
traton or by railroad companies which
have not money enough to buy cars

The Wonders Of America
THE cRooKEDEsT RAILROAD IN
THE WORLD.
By T. T. MAxEY

THE Mount Tamalpais and Muir
Woods railway runs from Mill Val
ley, California, to the top of Mount
Tamalpais-the guardian of our IA
nous Golden Gate, the entrance to San
Francisco bay. This miniature rail-
way is but 20 miles long. The longest
piece of straight track is Alb feet. II
contains 2S1 curves. In one place the
track parallels itself five times in a
little more than 300 performing an
almost perfect double bow-knOt. So
crooked Is this line that If all the
curves were continuous, they would
make AZ complete circles. 1t is one OF
the most wonderful pieces of engineer
ing on the American continent.
The curious looking, oil-burning loco
motive squirms its way tail first, push
ing the train up the. tortuous track,
on a grade averaging six feet to the
hundred, to the summit, 1852 feet
above the valley below.
The reason for 1t all is, of course,
the view from the top Of this peak
which stands on the very edge Of the
q. s. A. Here, the eye, in one far
reaching sweep, commands panorama
of mountains, forest, bay, island. city
and sea, lying between the Sierra
mountains and the Pacific ocean
which, it's said, is not surpassed from
the summit of any other mountain
peak in the world.
Worth mentioning in passing, too, !:
the fact that the government record
ing station here, shows more sunshine
per day thai any other recording sta
lion In this country.
The return trip is made by gravit,
the train coasting all the way down

lineal foot or $14.56 per acre.
These bitches were ordinary road
side bitches and were practically all
made and had only to be slightly
enlarged and made deeper.
AT the time this work was done
| could have had it done for 80 cents
or 81 per acre. l consulted a num-
Der of persons with experience in
having similar work done, and all but
two confirmed my estimates, and
these two stated that under no cir
cumstances should the cost have been
over $3.50 per acre.
1T is evident then that our mayor,
knowing the facts, advised that his
friend be paid his bill in full, and it
was paid.
I'm other words, we paid ten times
or more for work which we might
have had done for $500 or $500"

Humphrey.
Your illustrious neighbor has
slapped labor in the face time and
time again." said William Black. the
next speaker. "He has had buildings
erected by scab labor, when he should
have been paying you to do that
work. For the six or eight weeks
preceding election, Martin Behrman
might keep you up, but for the fol-
lowing four years, he would let you
drop.

COMMUNICATION WITH
LOWER ALGIERS
CUT OFF
Wretched Conditions of Patterson
Street From Elmire to Naval Sta
ton, and Rapidly Decaying New
Viaduct the Cause.
HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE INCONVENIENCE

The Algiers public and especially
the citizens residing on the other
side of the Southern Pacific tracks
were treated to inconvenience during
the past week, parallel with the times
before viaducts were constructed and
roadways were built.
The viaduct over the Southern Pa
eific tracks beginning at Patterson
and Elmira avenue has been for the
past six or eight months in such a
dangerous condition that vehicles
preferred the hazardous route of
crossing over the numerous tracks
where switching of cars is going on
continuously Trucks and autos Ia ;e
broken through the flooring of this
viaduct as was pictured in the Times
! Picayune Monday morning, and many
vehicles, though being successful in
getting across this bridge were stuck
/ in the mud between the lower end of
| the yiaduct and the Naval Station
This is the condition of the old via
duct passage to the Naval Station and
this condition has been existing for
the past six or eight months.
Regarding the new viaduct, the
maintenance of which is up to the
I Algiers Railway Company has been
variously described by vehicle own
ers and drivers, most of whom de-
/ clare that the uneven boards are
worse than a country corduroy road.
Conditions have become so intolera-
! BILE as TO cause the citizens on both
sides of the bridge to circulate a pc
tition to the Mayor and City Council
asking for relief, and asking that the
railway company be compelled to re-
surface the WORKOUT viaduct.
For the past few days the new CD
viaduct has been closed to wagons
and auto traffic for the fact that sew
eral of the Orders have so rusted as
to become dangerous and traffic is
now being held up until these repairs
are made.
We must acknowledge that the Al
giers Railway Company has contin-
ually kept the upper hand rails of the
viaduct nicely painted, but left the
big steel Orders of the under struc-
ture to go into decay. The street car
company has not lived up to its obli-
cations. the fault of which may be
placed on the city engineer, whose
duty it is to see that the company
lives up to its franchise obligations
AS it is at present we have an $780,
600 viaduct that has almost outlived
its usefulness and when once con-
demned to be rebuilt the obligations
of maintenance will no longer be
with the street car company, but will
become another expense of New Or.
leans instead of having the mainte-
nance remain a part of the obliga'
tion of the company. o. The old South,
ern Pacific viaduct, even If it will be
put in repair can only be used in
times of very dry weather on account
Fof the impossible condition of the
road leading to the Naval Station
What are you going to do about il?
