Have to Obtain
Permission to Marry

Sydney, n. S. W., Jan. 28.-The po-
lice of Queensland should not be com
PEELED longer to obtain permission of
the authorities to marry, nor should
the character Of their prospective
brides be subject to thorough inves-
tigation, as formerly, the cabinet has
decided.
Ever since the institution of the
force, permission of the authorities
had been necessary before marriage
and the character of the intended
bride had been scrutinized closely.
Long objection to these regulations
on the part of the police eliminated
in a call upon the Premier by dele
cation from the force. The action OF
the cabinet followed.

Will Make Dash
For North Pole


Christana, Norway, Jan. 28.-Two
Norwegian aviators, Lieutenant Om-
dial and Sergeant Odd Dahl, will ac-
company Roald Amundsen when he
starts north again from Seattle,
Wash, next May and will make a
dash for the North Pole by airplane.
They will also carry moving pic
ture outfit and about 10000 feet OF
film. Two extra men have been en-
gagged here by Amundsen for the
expedition.
Both Omdal and Dahl are expert
wireless operators and expect to keep
the Maud, Amundsen's ship, in touch
with Spitzenbergcn and to receive
messages from the Norwegian wire
less station at Stavanger.
The two aviators will join the
Maud at Seattle. The airplanes to
be used in the North Pole dash will
have motors of 60-horse-power, ac-
commodate two passengers and be
provided with skis and wheels.
Only one machine will be used at
time and the other held in reserve.
AS the Maud does not offer sufficient
space, a shed must be built on the ice
for them.
The Norwegian army and navy
have presented to the explorers the
arms and munitions they may need
and 60 boxes of specially selected
provisions, tested by Professor Torup
of the physiological laboratory of the
University of Christiania, will be sent
to Seattle for their use.

SO the Turkish delegation went
shouting through prison corridors
calling for all Turks to come for
ward and rounded up 1900 Turkish
subjects who We're sent back to the
land of Mustapha kcmaI.
Most of these Turks were officers
and crews of small ships which had

TRAIN SERVICE IS REDUCED
Eastern Road Removing All Trains
Not Making a Profit.

Announcement is made by the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road company of various changes IN
its present train schedules which will
become effective on January 20. Ger
tain Don-paying trains on this date
will be eliminated and readjustme nts
in the schedules of other trains have
been arranged in order to provide the
least possible inconvenience to the
travelling public.
The general financial condition Of
the company and the decrease in
travel on certain lines are assigned
ice. "A most complete and thoro sur
Vey of the entire situation has held
the attention of the transportation de-
partment for a considerable period.
Careful studies have been made in
each case of reduced service and the
requirements measured by travel from
the various communities involved
have been considered and adjustments
made to the fullest possible extent.
In every instance the service affected
has been operated unprofitably.
Some means must be devised to re-
duce operating expenses and at the
same time provide adequate Transport
tation. The company in its endeavor
to solve the problem of diminishing
returns on certain of its lines and yet
peHmenting with gasoline motor car
operated upon its rails. and three such
motors have recently been placed in
service. 1t is expected that others of
light train runs will be equipped with
this type of car, which is designed to
furnish prompt and frequent service
at a minimum of cost.

A STEADY DECLINE
Big Decrease in Railroad Ex-
tension Last Few Years.
Similar Slump in Number of
Cars and Locomotives Built.

A progressive decline in railway de-
velopment in the United States, as
measured by miles of line and cars and
locomotives ordered and built in re-
cent years, was shown recently in tes-
timony before the interstate com
merce commission by Samuel o. Dunn,
editor of the Railway Age" baseo
on statistics compiled by that paper
and official reports of the interstate
commerce commission. Dunn said, III
part:
This decline has been accumulated
since the war, and by 1920 there was
an actual reduction in the mileage OF
line and in the number of locomotives
and freight and passenger cars in serv-
ice. The decline in the annual rate of
increase had begun long before the
war. In each of the last five years
the mileage of railroad line abandoned
in the United States has exceeded the
mileage of new line built, and IN 1921
the mileage of new line and the cars
and locomotives ordered were less
than in almost any previous year in
railway history.
Only AIS Miles Built in 1921.
The new railroad mileage built in
1921 was AIS miles, or less than has
been reported in any previous year
except 1920, when only 314 miles were
built. The following table shows the
number of miles of new railroad main
line completed in the United States
from 1895 to 1921:

TO EXTEND TRANSFER TRACKS
Negotiations Pending Between tine
Union Pacific and Santa Fe-

Negotiations are now pending be-
tween the Union Pacific and Santa re
for the extension of the two transfer
tracks between the two lines in Norta
Topeka, on which a definite decision
will be reached at a conference of Of
ficials to be held in Topeka Febru-
airy 1.
The two tracks now accommodate
about forty cars, but on account OF an
increase in business between the two
roads. it is planned to lengthen each
track so that they together will hole
eighty-five cars. A total of approxi-
mately 1000 feet of new track is to be
built; and on account of the necessity
of making a big fill, it is. said that the
cost will exceed $4,000.
According to c. L. Sleeper, Union
Pacific agent the two tracks are ne
longer adequate to handle the transfer
business since the Union Pacific is re-
ceiving from the Santa Fe numerous
shipments, of oil and gasoline for
Omaha and other northern points
which formerly were routed via KAN
sas City. The Union Pacific handles
this business over it's cutoff line to
MarysvilIe and north to its main line
at Lincoln.

MORE SUGAR CONSUMED
Consumption in United States Aver
aged 30 Pounds Per Capita

Sugar consumption in the United
States in 1921 amounted to ninety
pounds per capita, or an increase Of
nearly three pounds. compared with
1920, according to compilations made
by Facts About Sugar. 1t was sixteen
pounds greater than in 1913, which
year marked the low point OF the war
period. The total quantity OF sugar
marketed last year was 9,63f.000.009
pounds, or 4,S15.50O tons, OF which q
little less than 60 per cent consisted
of sugar grown in the United States
and slightly over 40 per cent was OF
foreign production. The latter came
almost entirely from Cuba and Santo
Domingo.
The full amount of sugar imported
during the year was 2.S12.560 tons. Of
which Cuba supplied 2,590,OO0 tons
and other foreign countries 222.000
tons. Exports of refined sugar during
the year amounted to 466.897 tons.
OF the home grown sugar consumed
last year 100000 tons was supplied
by the beet sugar industry, 250.000
tons by Louisiana, $4,000 by Porto
Rico and the Virgin Islands and 1885,
600 tons by the Philippines.

follows:
The reinstallation of the free buf-
letin service is intended as a helpful
and cooperative measure, which viii
afford the small farmer in Union Pa
cific territory, a channel thru which
he may find a market for agricultural
or horticultural products, pure-bred
livestock. or seed, which he may wish
to dispose of, or to make his wants
in this respect known.
Our previous issuance of the farm
marketing bulletin amply demons
strated its value as a medium of eS-
change, as oftentimes, thru its use.
close neighbors were thus acquainted
with markets, among themselves, pre-
viously unknown to them. or with OPP
portunities to secure livestock, seed or
other agricultural products that they
wanted but did not know where 20
find: and. for these reasons, we feei
that the present is an opportune time
to reinstall this service.
1t is expected that the farm markets

Owing to the limited size OF the pul-
Ietin the items submitted Tor puolca

tural products.
1t should be fully understood that
this bulletin service will be absolutely
free and that no charge whatever viii
be made to anyone taking advantage
of It, We are undertaking the work ID
