Texun Hjan," A forest flre, a nt liciti-iit To-day tight between two red-bloo4cd nin, a sensational ride on horseback, an automobile crash and the rescue of the American cowpuncner by the £irl just as he is about to meet death at the hands of Mexican rebels, are a few of the exciting situations. George Fawcett and Bessie Fyton appear in the stellar roles. Admirers of Marc MacDermott and Miriam Nesbitt—and they are many will have an opportunity to see both of these popular stars in the same pro duction next Monday when "Builders of Castles" will be shown. "Builders of Castles" is said to be an especially interesting picture play, gripping the attention from the first scenes to the last, and ending with an unusually strong and unexpected climux. The success of the Garfield Musical Comedy Company at the Paxtang Park Theater during The Bill Out the past week has nt Paxtang; caused the park man agement to hold the company over for the coming week. Two new bills will be put on next week by the Garfield Company. The first half of the week they will pre sent a musical comedy entitled, "The Beggar Prince," and the last half a musical farce called "A Fool There Was." Both shows give plenty of op portunities for Mr. Godding and Air. Haines to display their abilities as comedians. The work of these two artists during the past week lias found high favor with the park audi ences, and the park manager feels as sured of their success in the new pro ductions. To-night the Garfield Com pany will present their comedy suc cess, "Kissing a Maid." for the last time in Harrisburg. Few tabloid musical shows have made a bigger hit with local audiences than this one has.

BUILDING WORK ON THE INCREASE Erection of Cantonments Makes Increased Demand For Material A careful review of building and construction work throughout the country is given in the issue of the American Contractor of to-day. The j cantonment work of the government, i the increased demand for industrial | building, and the prosperous condi-1 tions in the country are features of' the review, which follows: Demand For Industrial Building j "As suggested in a issue of the American Contractor, the out look for industrial building is im proving, both because of and despite! the war. It is an undeniable fact, that, with prolonged war, the con- i struction of manufacturing buildings! is certain to feel a new impetus. The! demand for added manufacturing space is already urgent, and exten sions to plants, construction of store houses, new factories, engineering projects, etc., are being planned. In the central western section of the country manufacturing construction, projected during June, shows a re markable increase both over the month preceding and over June of last year. The total projects for this section amounted in June to $6,430,- 000, as compared with $2,701,000 in May, 1917, and $2,432,000 for June, 1916. This may be taken as fairly representative of the trend of in dustrial construction in other parts of the country. "Coincident with the change of the building trend toward manufactur ing work, there is a tendency for corporations to build moderate-pric ed houses for their employes. The obvious necessity of keeping labor stable and halting the roving tend ency 01 employes at the present time, undoubtedly has much to do with this movement. It is probable that ths idea will be adopted more widely as the war progresses and labor stringency increases. Cantonment Work llljr Proposition "Much interest has been aroused in the government's cantonment work. While it is true that the struc tures are of a temporary nature, the size of the operations is indeed great. The total value of residential work In the year 1916 was $670,000,000. Comparing this with the estimated cost of the cantonments which are to be constructed, which is reported about $50,000,000, we find that this work amounts to seven per cent, of the total residential building for the country in 1916. However, since the cantonments are to be built in ap proximately three months' time and since 26 per cent, of normal residen tial budding is done In the three months of July, August and Septem ber (the same time designated for the completion of the cantopments), perhaps a fairer comparison of the value of government work with nor mal residential building would be during that period. Accordingly, 26 per cent, of $670,000,000 is $174,000,- 000, or the value of residential work for these three months in 1916. Com paring this with $50,000,000, it is seen that the dantonments will amount to about 29 per cent, of the value of residence building during this period. This comparison brings out clearly the real magnitude of the government's operations.

The Country Prosperous "During the year 1916 this coun try experienced a record period of business prosperity; but from indi cations thus far received, statistical and otherwise, it seems that 1917 bids fair to excel in the volume of business any period in the history of the country. "As one indication of how we are awakening to this prosperity there has been a tremendous number of new corporations formed during the last two months. During May new charters were heavier than for any month in the histosy of the coun try, amounting to $388,481,000 for firms with a capitalization of $1,000,- 000 and over. June incorporations show an increase of $87,734,000 over June, 1916. General confidence ns shown by new enterprises is extreme ly optimistic. "Total bank clearings, one of the most significant of business indicat ors, show an increase of $6,080,287,- 648 over June of last year, at which time the figures were greater than ever before. Nearly every locality re porting shows a marked increase, in dicating that business activity is not confined especially to certain locali ties, but is widespread, extending all over the country. "Money is plentiful and banks are glad to loan at prevailing rates, which are reasonable, considering the enormous demand for new cap ital. It is probable that every effort will be made to keep money easy In order to facilitate the great commer cial and Industrial expansion which is promised. Money in circulation per capita for June is $45.49 as com pared with $38.36 in June, 1916, and $35.07 two years ago. "Summarizing business conditions for all sections, It may be said with assurance that the outlook is the most optimistic for years past. "Those who doubt that so inte gral a part of the nation's prosperity as the building business will share tl.e general good times are without knowledge of past history. Building is sure to come in for its part of the general activity." Four Sons of Col.

RAILROAD RUMBLES RAILROADS PAY FOR EQUIPMENT Cost of Cars, Engines, With Other Equipment, Show Large Increase Referring to the growing cost o'f equipment of every description a local railroad official gives some in teresting figures about present cost of equipment. Comparative prices of various articles now and two years ago which, epitomized, shows that the cost of locomotives is sev enty-five per cent, greater, of pas senger cars fifty per cent, and of freight cars from sixty to eighty-live per cent. more. A Mikado freight locomotive, for example, that cost $26,410 in 1915, costs now $46,200, the figures for a Mallet consolidated being $42,275 and $7 4,100, respectively. Cost of Steel Coach A steel coach which formerly cost $11,500 now costs $17,250, and a dining car $33,000 that formerly cost $22,000. A steel underframe boxcar costs $2,010 now, whereas two years ago it could have been built for $1,256, and a wood underframe box car that cost $l,lOO then costs now $1,930; the figures for an all-steel gondola being $l,lBO and $2,185, re spectively. Everything else is in pro portion. Other cost increases reported are 333.33 per cent, for coal, 263.6 per cent, for structural beams, 172.5 per cent, for glass, 118.9 per cent, for soft steel, 107 per cent, for copper wire, 50 per cent, for si eel car wheels, 85.1 per cent, for steel rails, 59.1 per cent, for trackbolts, 68.5 per cent, for cement, etc. Train With Russians Makes Record in West When the Russian Commission sped across the country from Seattle to Washington, D. C., they chose the route which took them over the n.ost picturesque part of the conti nent, and they were especially desir ous of taking the route which would give them their first sensation in mountain climbing by electric mo tors. The only transcontinental road thus far that is equipped with elec tric motivepower is the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul. The Russian special train of eight cars traversed the Missoula and Deer Lodge divisions, a distance of 21 2 miles, in five hours and thirty-five minutes, which establishes a new world-record for continuous railroad speed over mountain passes. The run of 212 miles was made without a single stop. Standing of the Crews HARIIISBIKU SIDE: Philadelphia IMvlxlon —The 121 crew first to go after 4 o'clock; 115, 120, 127, 130, 108, 111. 122.

DECISIONS ON FULL CREW LAW Superior Court Rules Against Pennsy; Sustains Public Service Commissioners Among the decisions filed by the Superior Court in Philadelphia yes terday, were a number affirming rul ings and orders made by the Public Service Commission in dealing with complaints against railroads regard ing the running of trains, the make up of crews and the abolition of sid ings and grade crossings. In an opinion by Judge Head the requirements of the full crew law were enforced against the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company concerning a train between New York and Harris burg, which was run part of the way without a baggageman, tlius reducing the crew to five employes. Section 5, of the act of 1911, Judge Head ex plains, declares "it shall be unlawful lor any railroad to run passenger trains of four or more passenger coaches and one baggage car with a crew of less than six men—an engine man, a fireman, a conductor, a bag gageman, a brakeman, a iiagman, ex clusive of train .porter and Pullman employes." No Full IlnßgaKecor The Pennsylvania train which is al leged to have violated this require ment was run between New York and Harrisburg, and consisted of an en gine, a United States mailcar, a com bined baggage and passenger car, a day coach, a diningcar and five sleep ing cars. , There being no full baggagecar in the train, the company did not carry as part of the crew a baggageman be tween Harrisburg and North Philadel phia. The Court ruled that the char acter of the train was the same be tween those points as it was operated from New York to Harrisburg, and therefore the order of the commission requiring the full crevy of six through out the route was correct. WIDTH OF I'LNTFORMN President Judge Orlady affirmed the order of the commission against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company compelling the company to have the rear end of the last car of a train equipped with an exit and a platform of a certain width. The complaint al leged that the Pennsylvania ran a train from Altoona to Pittsburgh con sisting of eight cars, two express and six United States rapil cars, with one of the latter attached to the rear of the train. This rear car was not equipped, as required by the act, with an exit and observation platform. The commis sion ruled that it was hazardous for the railroad employes to get on and off such a rear-end platform when answering emergency calls or when ice and snow encumbered the platform, for the reason that the plattorin was only eight or ten inches in width and without handrails, instead of being thirty inches in width, as the act re quires, and protected with handrails, as prescribed by the full crew law of 191 J. SEEK ORIGIN For two weeks, by the confession of its members, the publicity bureau of the Pennsylvania Railroad has been directing an investigation to learn the origin of a mysterious poster which has appeared on prop erties owned by the corporation. The sheet shows a handsome loco motive and aji even handsomer sol dier, in khaki, and it informs the beholder that the man who runs the railroads in wartime is just as val uable as the man who shoulders the rifle. The posters sprang up mys teriously, with no signature, and they have baffled the investigators. The annual picnic of the Veteran Employes Association of the Phil adelphia Division employes. Pennsyl vania Railroad, will be held at Pax tang Park the latter part of August. The date will be announced as soon as plans have been approved by. Su perintendent William B. McCaleb. President William K. Drake', of the Friendship and Co-operative Club for Railroad Men has fixed July 26. the date for the next meeting. It will be held in Eagles Hall, Sixth and Cumberland streets. The principal speaker will be E. H. Hunt, general manager of the Pennsylvania Rail road Relief Department. Captain of Police Paul L. Barclay, of the Philadelphia Division, Penn sylvania Railroad, has completed his organization fo rthe' guarding of bridges and company property after the osldiers now on duty have been relieved. He will have a force of 16, but will not make an assignments until the date of the departure of the soldiers is known positively. Heavy shipments of watermelons and potatoes are being made over the Baltimore Division of the Penn sylvania Railroad, to western points. The Philadelphia and Reading had a number of excursion to handle to day. On Thursday, Julv 26. special trains will be run for the big union picnic of Catholic churches at Her shey Park. One of the first things James T. Campbell, of Philadelphia, did after he was made receiver of the Tenn essee and North Carolina Railroad was to abolls'i his own salary as president of the southern line and automatically simplify tbe payroll by doing the same thing for the com pany s secretary, one superintendent, a superintendent of motive power, two trainmasters and a tax and claim agent. * Conductor Ernest Phillipy, who runs the one-passenger train on the railroad betwean Scott City and Win ona, became sick from the motion of the train and had to go to the back platform for fresh air. A sudden Jolt of tl* train, and the conductor was thrown overboard. The train was hacked up to Keystone, when it was learned what had happened, but the conductor had been taken home In an automobile.—Hutchinson News. T ▼ ▼ V T T ▼ ¥ ▼ ▼ ▼ T* ▼_▼.▼ T T^,y_T_% !'
