CARSON SIDINGS
Figures Named Highest in
History of American
Transportation
is CAUSED BY
COAL DECLINE

WASHINGTON-On March 81
there were on sidings throughout the
country 4e5. s04 surplus freight cars.
tho largest number in the history OF
American railroads. It is calculated
by railroad men that IL the idle cars
in the country were placed on one
train it would extend from New
York to San Francisco and reach
500 miles out into the Pacific.
The calculation OF the number Of
idle freight cars was made by the
Car Service Division OF the Ameri-
can Railway Association from re-
ports sent in by all the railroads OF
the country. These reports show
not only that the number Of surplus
freight cars at the end OF the month
was the greatest in railroad history.
but that the number is 36.49s more
than that reported one week before
The end of March, and that il is
$1,000 more than the number at the
end OF February.
The increase during March is due
to the decline In coal movements.
and. in fact, one-half OF the number
Of idle freight cars are on sidings
because of the stagnation in the coal
industry. To be exact, of the total
surplus at the close OF March 255,-
o55 we're coal cars On March / the
number OF coal cars idle was 172,S5O.
The number OF coal cars loaded de-
clined each week in March. The num-
her loaded in week ending March 26
was 122. 2.1S9. which was the smallest
loaded in one week In recent railroad
history. according to the Car Serv-
ice Division.
Reports also showed an increase
of $500 in the number Of surplus
box cars during the last week Of
March, but decrease Of 2,40O for
the whole month OF March, due to
reduction in the surplus in the early
part Of the month. The number OF
box cars idle on March 81 was III
119.
Parallel to the increase in the sur
plus of cars, there Is reported a con-
unued decline in the number OF cars
loaded with revenue freight. For the
week ending March 26 the number
OF cars loaded with revenue freight
was 6S7,S52. That was decrease
of 1855. compared with the preced-
ing week. Compared with the cor

Lincoln early in life was eager to
make speeches. He would commit
to memory and repeat all the poems
and speeches in the books he could
find. He would walk miles to bor-
row a single book. On one occasion
Lincoln pulled corn for three days to
pay a man named Crawford for a
Life Of Washington" he had bor-
rowed and which was injured by a
rain one night while Lincoln was
sleeping. While Lincoln was a
store-keeper, one day a man drew
up in front of the store with a wagon
and asked Lincoln if he would buy
an old barrel. To oblige the trav-
eler Lincoln bought the barrel and
paid him half a dollar for it. When
the barrel was emptied, a complete
edition of Blackstone's "Commen-
taries" was found. Lincoln eagerly
read these famous law books and
his ambition to be a lawyer was
greatly stimulated. The finding Of
these books may have started Lin
coin on the climb upward to the
