Royal Makes the food more delicious and wholesome KOYAl BJHtlNQ PQwPtW NEWS OF THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL WORLD FIGURES IN THE REPORT OP LEHIGH VALLEY ROAD. Average Receipts for Coal Traffic Was 55 Por Cent. Higher Than for Other Classes of Freight-Cost of Constructing a Modern Railway Coach D., L. & V. Road to Erect h Bridge Over the Susquehanna River at Pittatou Rebuilding a Big Culm Burning Engine. The leport of the Lehigh alloy Kail road company for the year l&flS thows that the road carried during that per iod 11.574.5:53 tons of coai, the average liaul being vn.'Z miles, and tl.e ton inlleagv 1.33.42C.1S3. The average re ceipt on this coal trafllc was O.U'JO cent per ton-mile, or C3 per cent, higher than the average rate on gunutul liciglit, which Aas 0.40i per ton-mile. Of the tonnuge reported l,3iS,nii8 tons and lOO.JM.-i.it ton-miles were of foltu inlnous coal. Tim report doej not give the rates on bituminous coal separate ly but assuming, as can bo done with a margin of palely, that they wore not higher than those on general freight, the rate or anthracite would be 0.64'l rent per ton-mile, including the coal rallied for the company's own use. The average cost per ton-mile on all f i eightscoal is not .stated separately was 0.S16 cent per ton-mile. As th? transportation of coal, which Is moved usually In full tiains at a low rate of speed, certainly costs much less than the average, the piofit on all coal was more than 0.311 cent per ton-miIr: on anthracite more than O.S'JS rent. One third of a cent per ton-mile, or 3S.5 iints a ton, does not look like an ex tiavagant prollt, but it Is a much high er .surplus than the most prosperous lailroads In th" country the Pennsyl anla or the Xew York Central, for In stancecan show on their freight traf llc earnings.

The farmers say they cannot afford to rale sugar beets at the price now quoted in the market and the Rellnlug company claim that the prices are high enough now.
