TRUCK AND RAIL COOPERATION
{ & WILL. CUT COSTS

Progress in transportation is today in
major movement tending toward certain
changes II economy in shipping service is
to- be established, if communities are to
broaden out in industry and trade, we must
not look either to individual methods or in
dividual performances, but must visualize
the country as a whole and through careful
analysis determine the best means by
which better service and lowered transport
tation cost may be secured.
If we look at the progress of the motor
vehicle from a broad rather than an indiv-
idualistic standpoint" continued Mr.. Bros
seau, Its development means not merely
more vehicles, but better and cheaper
kets; the bringing together Of communi-
ties; quick and cheap method of short
hauls for the man whose products are of a
perishable nature; lowered costs from the
standpoint of Grating, packing, excess
handling, loading and unloading, and
teaming charges; the release of freight
cars for main line service; and the expedit-
ing of through freight by relieving the ter
minals of undue congestion. '
"The two primary determinants in trans
portation are: (1) service; (2) cost.
ITO carry shipments on short hauls is
Improbable toithe rail carrier. A itranspor-
tation expert has said, The average steam
railway carrier is now hauling L. C.. L.
freight to the sixty-mile point 70 cover ito
terminal cost in handling such freight, and
during the next ten years this distance will
be increased to the hundred-mile point"
f"What we need to study most Of all is
how the motor truck and the railroads may
cooperate in their service in order to res
duce the cost Of transportation and: offer
to the public a better and quicker method
oftranspo rting comn1od itiess on short .hauls.
motor transportation need not conflict
with that of the railroads, but it does offer
an adequate means of transport for the
farmer who is out of reach of railroad ia
cilities, who is marketing perishable goods
in short hauls, and whose expense would
be seriously increased if he had to crate
his small livestock and produce. Contrary
to popular opinion, the average .commodi-
ties hauled on the, public highways by
truck. do not consist Of coal, sand, and
gravel, but of farm produce and such small
manufactured products as have a time ele-
ment in their satisfactory delivery" "A. J.

OUR BIRCH TIMBER

According to the estimate Of Edison
Washburn there are over forty million feet
of suitable birch logs in the section survey
ed by him, which, if marketed, should
bring tidy sum to the owners of this tim
Der. It is understood that the Minnesota
Lumber Associates, who are contemplating
the locating of a dimension mill in Bemidji,
want to pay fair price forzbirch wood and
that the farmers want fair price for the
pick of birch timber so there should be
little difficulty in. bringing these together
There may be diff erences Of opinion as
to what constitutes fair price, but it Iis the
belief of all concerned that a satisfactory
scale will be arranged for.

SECOND 'PONz|'
MILLION SHORT
Harringto~ Who Is Missing,
Said to Be Rival OF
Bischoff.
by international New. Service.


CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-While the
inquiry into the tangled affairs' Of
Raymond ]. Bischoff, called the
Chicago Ponzi." proceeded today,
the police and United States secret
service men were engaged in a Wig
orous search for Leslie Harrington,
alleged "get.rich-quick wizard" who
fled from Chicago Saturday morn
ing leaving behind debtors whom
he is alleged to have defrauded OF
more than $1,O00,000.
Harrington was head of the No
vaculite Company" which investi.
gators charge was an unstable con-
cern, organized chiefly as a medium
for the sale of worthless stocks and
investment securities. Eight al
legged selling agents employed by
Harrington are under arrest,
charged with him with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Mrs. Harrington is under sur.
veillance at Palm Beach in the ex-
pectation that she may receive
some word from her husband.
Indications were today that bank
ruptcy proceedings against Charles
II. Apple, investment and securi-
ties dealer, would be dismissed for
want Of jurisdiction. Apple claims
that his headquarters are in Kan
sas City, and that the courts have
no jurisdiction. Apple also de.
clares that he is not insolvent and
that investors will not lose a cent
through him.
Bischotf, who was thrown into
bankruptcy Saturday, and who is
alleged to have fleeced thousands
of gullible investors out Of
sums aggregating nearly s5,000,-
900, blamed competition by Har.
rington and Apple for his collapse.
