Detroit, Dec. 3.-Henry Ford is making a demonstration in efficiency on the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton rail- road that he believes will revolution ize the railway system of the United States. During the course of an in- terview he said he me:
 "When I bought the D. T. & I freight cars were moving over it at the rate of fifteen miles day, count ing a day as twenty-four hours. Freight traffic is now moving over the D. T. & l. at the rate of forty five miles a day When I have fin- ished doing things that are now un- der way freight will be moving over our road at the rate of at least 200 miles day.
 "These figures do not mean much until explain that the movement af freight over American railroads aver age only twenty miles to each twenty four hours. This will seem almost unbelievable to those who see freight trains only when they are going, but it will not be disputed by shippers. Red tape is responsible for a good deal of this slowness. The excessive weight of the freight trains them selves is responsible for some more. The weight of the average freight car is almost equal to the load it car ries. Oftentimes the freight in a car is much lighter than the car itself. Imagine what it means to a locomo- tive to draw so much dead weight.
 Reduce Weight of Cars.
 q am preparing to build freight cars in which the weight will be re- duced two-thirds without sacrificing anything in carrying capacity. This can be done by using steel containing alloys. Cars of this kind can be built as cheaply as the present style of cars. It costs something to make a better quality of steel, but this is off, eset by the fact that only one-third as much steel is used. I am only design ing new type of locomotive in which the weight will be reduced one-half, yet this locomotive will draw as many loaded light freight cars as the pres ent type of locomotive will draw of heavy ones.
 q also expect to reduce by seventy five per cent the amount of coal burned by locomotives. Simply by going over one of our old locomotives and making such changes and im- provements as I could, short of re-

 Ten thousand dollars, the cost of the building, will be absorbed in ten wears thru a caving in rentals, which amounts to $1 ,000 annually. Thus the members of the Farm Bureau and the Irrigation district will not be called upon to pay a single dollar for the property.
 The front part of the first floor of the Temple is devoted to business of fees occupied by "Governor" J. H. Evans. secretary; Nathan 1. Reiter, chief accountant, and Miss Rose John son, stenographer, of the irrigation district; and by w. J. Ball, superin- .fendent of irrigation; M. B.

Six Sold to Fort Smith Buyer, Aver

Roy Philpot of Bigger was in Mena Wednesday to direct the shipment of a half dozen hunting dogs to Fort Smith buyer.
