for all time in freight train oper-
alton was announced today by

trains with an averave of rs cars
to the train or 457,275 cars
between Ogden, Utah, and Council
Bluffs, Iowa, and Kansas City,
and that every one of them came
in ON time. This figure represents
an increase of 1897 in the number
of fruit trains handled, as COM
pared with the corresponding peri
cd from 1928 to 1925. The figures
include all perishable shipments
from California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Utah shipped over

their present location until such
time as the Chamber has a suit

HOME BUILDERS WILL
ERECT RESIDENCES
" More Housing Capacity
Needed Here" Says Ferron.
Ely Capital Has Faith in
Las Vegas.

That the business men and capi-
talisLs have faith in the future OF
Las Vegas is evidenced by the
formation recently Of the Las Ve-
gas Homebuilders, a corporation
formed for the purpose of meet
ing the pressing need for addi-
tional housing facilities in this
city.
The capital of the corporation
is $4,000. The officers are as
follows:

Bowdle of Ely.
Secrd ary-Treasurer-F. E. Hup-
per. of the Nevada Consolidated,
at McGill, Nevada.
The directors are the officers
named above and ]. c. Kinnear,
general manager of the Nevada
Consolidated, McGill, and e. A.
FerrOn Of Las Vegas.
The corporation is ready to
build on your own lot or on the
property Of the company with a
small payment down and the bal
ance like rent. They have taken
the agency for the famous Ready
Cut" system of home building and
are offering that service with its
many years of experience to the
people of Las Vegas. The Ready
Cut" is not a portable house idea,
but simply means that the lumber
is cut TO fit the various portions
of the construction before being
shipped. The Ready Cut" sys-
tenn has many attractive plans
which are at the service of pa
irons.
Mr.. f. A. Ferron, local manager
of the Homebuilders, said in an
interview with the Age:
More housing capacity is a
vital need in Las Vegas. There
is not a vacant house in Las We
gas in spite of the considerable
of building which has been
going ON this year, Many are
paying rent who might just as we'll
be making the same payments on
their own homes. Home Builders
expects to help many Las Vegas
people to build"
The company is ready to begin
the construction of three homes
Immediately. One is for Mr.. B. A.
Stevens and the other two will be
on the company's own property
Mr.. FerrOn states that the
Home Builders are receiving many
inquiries. Las Vegas is to be con-
graduated in having again enlist

an address to the organization last
Monday night on his wartime expert
ences.
Members of the local battalion are
awaiting with 1luCh interest the Sc
lection of one of the flush deck type
of destroyers from those at Philadel-
phia. Pa. to be assigned here in place
of the Allen. The latter ship has been
placed in such fine condition by the
Reserves that it is with much regret
that they will see it leave, although it
was pointed out that one of the newer
type would provide many more COM
forAs and give much more room in
which to berth the extra ordinarily
large numbers of men who now an
nualy apply to take the annual
cruises
When the selection is made 1t is
probable that some of the of'cers and
men of the local outfit will he selects ed
for temporary active duty for the pur.
pose of manning the Allen to so to
Philad lphia and place her out of com
mission and to put the new ship in
commission and return her to Wash

They express the hope that the ship
selected will he in as good condition
and as ready for sea as the Allen now
is, but they have confidence in their
ability to put her in shape quickly and
be ready for the annual cruises next
Summer, when the vessel is attached
to the Atlantic scouting fleet. The as
signment of the new ship here, it was
pointed out by the department. de

mandant of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard as to the amount of funds nee

ing in mind the fact that much of the
equipment now on the Allen may be

The local Reservists have organized
a battalion basket ball team. which
holds its practice every Monday night
after drill. 1t has obtained one game
with an outside team, and it's support
ers are anxious to have games with
any teams in the city. Ensign Sulli
van is the organizer, manager and
coach.
One of the difficulties in the way of
athletic development in the local Re.

efforts now are being made to find a
suitable hall somewhere in the city

BERLIN.-Max kahlow, one of the
oldest and most experienced pilots of
the German Lufthansa, was feted by
his collea CUES on the occasion of COM
pleting his three hundred thousandeth
mile in the air.
Kahow started his career in 1913
as an army flyer. After the war he
turned to commercial aviation. His
regular passenger flights to London
marked milestone in the develop
ment of international traffic.
Speed of passenger planes has in
creased enormously of late. A flying
record was established by the regular
service airplane on the Cologne-HaIl
Leipzig route, representing a distance
of $50 miles, which were covered in

BUTLERS FOUNDED TREE

Claridge's Startled by Worker

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON.-Three of London's fa-
nous hotels owe their beginning to
the ingenuity of ex-butlers who start
ed with a shoestring.
Claridge's, patronized by royalty, is
the best known of these. The Queen
of Norway has been staying at
Claridge's recently. and during the last
visit to London of the King and Queen
of Spain they also occupied the royal
suite.
William Claridge, retiring from serv.
ice as a butler in 1850, bought with his
savings Mivart's, a modest hostelry
in Brook street, Mayfair, and this ulti-
mately developed I'M Claridge's Hotel.
Thomas Hotel. Berkeley square,
was opened by former butler of that
name.
Bailey's Hotel, South Kensington, is
another. Bailey's wife was a lady's
maid, and assisted her husband and
aided in making the name of the hotel
we'll known to the travelling public.
Bailey prospered. became proprietor
of several hotels, owner of an estate

added to it during the war for Red
Cross recreational activities. But the
battalion has advanced so greatly in
numbers since Comdr. Smith took com.
mand that the outfit has outgrown it's
quarters. and it is expected that ef-
forts will be made in the near future
for adequate armory facilities, where
the officers and men may carry on
their training under more satisfactory
conditions than now obtain.
Joseph r. konesky. III Carroll

local Reserve as A yeoman. second
class. and has been assigned to the
Headquarters Detachment.
Chief Yeoman c. F. Riede of the
local battalion has been given permIs.

of his regular naval service he was at

The divisions composing the local
battalion are so filled up with MEM
bers that applicants for enlistment are
being closely scrutiniZed before being
enlisted. it was said by the local off,
GERS. Men are being examined as to
their reasons for enlisting in the Re-
serve and must indicate real interest
in the outfit, as well as agree that
they will attend all drills. The list OF
applica nts is so long, it is said. that
only the best young men of the city
are desired. and this has resulted in
almost a perfect attendance of the
divisions at each assembly.
