BUY MANY NEW TIES AND RAILS.
Pennsylvania Railroad Spends $1f,-
100000 During 1920.

According to the latest estimate of
expenditures for the year 1920, new
rails and cross ties used to replace old
and wornout trackage cost the Penn
sylvania railroad Approximately Sill
1000 This amount is the approx
mate net cost of the new material and
represents a saving thru the salvage
of the replaced rails amounting to
some $2,400,0 900.
About 5000 tons of new steel rails
and 100000 new cross ties were used
last year. OF the $4,000 tons of new
rail laid in 1920. $4,000 tons, or 81 per
cent, was heavy 130-pound rail. The
use of heavier than 100 pound rail
was commenced by the Pennsylvania
railroad in 1915 and at the present
time only a small percentage of rail
used on the system is less than 100
pounds.
Steel rails for 1920 use cost approx
imately s48 a ton, an Increase of So, or
20 per cent over the previous years
cost and 63 per cent more than the
! cost of rails ten years ago. Cross ties
cost the Pennsylvania railroad 80 per
cent more, in 1920 than in 1919 and
153 per cent more than ten years ago
Since 1910 the Pennsylvania rail.

"A REAL HARD LUCK STORY.
Railroads Cited Plight Before United
States Labor Board.

One of the most mournful hard luck
stories of recent years is the one
which is being told by the railroads
of the United States today.
The roads cited their plight before
the United States labor board in con-
nection with the recent hearings on
the question of reducing pages
Confirming his statement of Jart-
airy 81 that Many railroads are nat
now earning and with present oper-
ating costs and traffic have no pros
pect of earning even their bare oper-
ating expenses leaving them without
any net return and unable to meet
their fixed charges" Gen. w. w
Atterbury. chairman of the labor com
mittee OF the Association Of Railway
Executives, on February 3 stated that
he had been advised by Mr.. Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives, of the
result of a canvass of the operating
results of most of the railways of the
country for the month of January.
1t is understood, of course, that it
is impossible to close the actual ac-
, counts so soon after the end of the
| month, and that the results OF the lat
ter part, therefore, have to be esti-
mated.
This canvass shows that thirty-s six
railroads estimate that they have
failed to earn even their operating eX-
penses for the month of January.
| Among THESE ROADS are TIE ATLANTA,
Birmingham and Atlantic railway;
Buffalo and Susauehanna railroad;
Central of Georgia railway; Detroit
| Toledo and Ironten railroad; Erie
railroad; Great Northern railway; Gulf
and Ship Island railroad; Hooking
Valley railway; Long Island railroad .
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault st.
Marie railway: Maine Central railroad !;
| Northern Pacific railway; Philadelphia
and Reading railway.
f, While earning their operating ex-
penses, twenty-eight additional roads
estimate that they did not earn their
taxes and fixed charges during the
month of January.
| Among these are: The Arizona
Western railroad; Atlantic Coast Line;
Baltimore and Ohio railroad; Boston
and Maine railroad; Chicago, Indian
apolis and Louisville railway; Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway; Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific rail-
way; Lehigh Valley railroad; Mime
| apolis and St. Louis railroad; Missouri
Pacific railroad; Norfolk Southern
/ railroad; Pennsylvania railroad; Pere
Marquette railway: Western Maryland
railway, and the Wheeling and Lake
| Erie railway.
Under present traffic and operating
conditions these were the result de-
spite the fact that the sixty-four com
panies referred to-of which only a
partial list is given above-have in the
aggregate decreased their labor cost
operation by laying off approximately
100000 employees since September l.,
1920.
These companies have a total main
line mileage of more than 100000
40 per cent of the railroad mileage

Horton, Kan, Feb. ia field goal

the other three times were baskets.

COL. HUGHES LOCATES PORTRAIT
In Visit to Second Hand Store He Finds
Valuable Picture.

Col. j. w. F. Hughes likes to browse
around second- hand stores, just to see
what he can find there, and to fill out,
thru investigation or imagination, the
histories of the different articles
which he unearths.
Not long ago, rtimn1aging in second
hand store in a back street, he found
an oil painting. some two feet or more
square. The painting was unframed,
and covered with dust. Colonel Hughes
removed the dust of the years which
had settled on the painting, and por-
trait was exposed.
Colonel Hughes recognized the sub
ject of the portrait, and advised F. c.
Fox. general manager of the Santa Fe,
with offices at Topeka, that portrait
of one of his predecessors was in the
second hand store.
The portrait is Of j. ]. Frey, who
was general manager of the Santa Fe;
with headquarters at Topeka, from
April, of 1898. until December 81, 1895,
thru the period during which the road
emerged from the hands of a receiver,
and was reorganized.
Frey left the Santa Fe in 1895. to
become president Of the Florence G
Cripple Creek and the Golden Circle,
Canon City & Cripple Creek railroads
in Colorado. with headquarters in Den
YER. He remained at the head of these
roads until his death, with occurred
in 1908.
General Manager Fox imm ediately
made arrangements to have the por-
trait purchased. cleaned and framed.
and it has now been hung on the wall
of his Own office.
There is no explanation of how the
painting came to be in the second hand
store, and the proprietor does not re-
member from whom it was obtained,
or when.
