BETWEEN THE IUVERS.
About two months ago W. A.
raxtou purchased about 10,000
bushels of corn in the vicinity of
Paxton and Dexter which he 1b
having shipped down to Hcrshcy
and from there hauled cut to his
ranch where it is being fed to
cattle, and hogs.
The holiday excursionists have
all returned to their respective
homes and business of all kinds
bas resumed its usual gait.
King Cole the liog grower,
claims that he is making money by
purchasing stock hogs at the pres
ent prices and buying corn at the
present price with which to fatten
them. He has several carloads on
the road to maturity at this time.
Rev. W. J. Cruscn of North
Platte, who recently closed a suc
cessful series of meetings at the
McNcel school house, met his regu
lar appointments at Hcrshcy laBt
Sabbath.
One evening laBt week a number
ol young people gathered at the
home ot D. B. White where an en
joyable time was spent in various
ways in honor of his niece MIbb
Carrie White of Sellerp, 111., who is
here on a visit to the scenes of her
childhood days,
D. M. Lcopoldt of Hcrshcy was
the guest of F. F. Secbcrircr at the
county seat latt Saturday and Sun-
da v.
A. M, Stoddard took a few horses
over to tl.c Garrison auction talc
on the B. Beer ranch Saturday,
where he t-old them for fair prices.
Mrs. Kate Sulliyati and sons
Charlie and Hartley returned from
Brady Island Saturday.
Mrs. W. E. Park returned Sun
day evening from an extended
visit with relatives and friends at
Brady.
While at North Platte on Satur
day last D. M. Leypoldt purchased
a car of hogs on the Cody ranch
which he will ship west from there
today.
Two or three real estate deals
arc said to be in progress in this
locality at this time.
James Cleinmous and wife cntsr
taiucd relatives from abroad dur
ing the holiday season.
Wc understand that as soon aB
the new county commissioner
troni the Second district is installed
another effort will be made to form
a district in which to vote bonds
for the construction of a bridge to
pan the river on the section line
just north of Hcrshcy.
Schools in this section of the
county arc all in session again
after the holiday vacation.
As usual a large number of pen
sion vouchers were mailed at Her
shey on Saturday, Jan. 4th, '02, for
the last quarter ot 1901,
Alfalfa hay was never in as rrood
a demand in the valley as it has
been bo far this winter and at good
prices.
ItAILROAD MISCELLANY-
Since the Pullman company ac
quited the old Union Pacific shops
at Denver it has gone into the
work of building new cars there as
well as rebuilding old ones. The
"Mount Hood" is the first product
turned out and in of the finest
standard make.
The Union Pacific is contemplat
ing the erection of a tie plant at
some place along its line in Wyo
ming. The cost of ties has" in
creased to almost double the price
paid yearn ago, and it now becomch
a matter of economy for the rail
roads to erect plants to treat ties
that their life may be preserved.
The Burlington now has such a
plant at Sheridan, which it recently
moved from Edgcmont.
Burlington officials have issued
an order calling the attcutlon of
firemen, brakeinau and other to
the fact that they must hereafter
understand train orderB affecting
trains on which they are working.
In theVpast it has beeu deemed
sufficient that engineers and con
ductors understand the orders, but
in yiew of recent wrecks iu the east
through a misunderstanding of the
orders the Burlington will iiiBist
that every member of a crew
understand the running orders
given.
The Railway Age, in deahng
with last seaBOti'B orders for care
and locomotives has the following

Wilcox DepMfcmerif! jtfe,
to say: "Railroad companies have
taken Btcps to increase their freight
hauling lacilities by the addition of
ivo.uuu trcight carH and 4,300 loco
motives and that passenger equip
ment is in the way to be increased
by the addition of 2,300 cars to the
various classes coacheB, dining,
Bleeping, mail, baggage and ex
press. One fact that is clearlv
evident from the form iu which the
statistics'arc presented is that the
trcight car of 40,000 pounds capac
ity is a close second iu numbers to
that of 60,000 pounds. The favor
itebecause more economical when
properly utilized capacity for
general purposes ih the 80,000
pound car. Of the orders nottd in
the tables, 60 per cent may safely
be taken as representing the pro
portion of cars of 80,000 pounds'
capacity or over, theonly hindrance
to a positive statement beinir a few
gaps in the capacity column of the
statement. As a car of 60,000
pounds' capacity ia expected to
carry 10 per cent above its stenciled
load of 70,000 pounds, and an 80.-
000 pounds' capacity car is not con
sidered overloaded at 88,000 or 90,
000 poundB, it is far on the safe
side to estimate the average capac
ity of the nearly 200,000 cars
scheduled at 80,000 pouuds each.
The carrying capacity of American
roads has therefore been increased,
or will be in the few months re
quired to complete the building, to
the extent of at least 8,000,000
tons. Of this probably less than
25 per cent should be deducted to
cover cars used for replacement.
