eAGE li Tim CITIZBN, PUIDAV, JANUAKY 10, 1012. it AILROA a si For tlie first tlmo Wednesday of last week camo known Just how cx tenslvo tlio enr buying iby railroads had been during the year 1911, when the total tigures woro presented by tho steel concerns Interested. Orders amounted to approximately 130,000 cars of all kinds. Theso figures as tonished all of the companies, though many knew that estimates of 100,000 cars had boon made and wcro con sidered a trifle high, fr in c mm mfdodod ddramcvx x x xx- Statcmcnts made In explanation of these enormous purchases of cars showed that up until November 1 tho total car buying for tho year 1911 had been so far below the normal as to make comparisons somewhnt dis concerting. Hut from tho opening of the November trado tho orders be gan to come in so rapidly that by the end of tho month 40,000 new cars had been added to tho books. De cember orders fell below and It was supposed that tho actual Increase for the month would ho small. The totals given out recently Indi cated that the railroads had been purchasing new cars quickly and for some reason were withholding the information from tho public. It Is said that the railroads had placed orders for cars for over $140,000, UuO for tho year just closed, and tho larger orders to come aro expected to open tho new year on a basis that has seldom been equalled. That railroad companies aro pro paring for an active season in new work was further indicated by tho announcement that tho orders for rail spikes during the past few weeks aggregated 15,000 kegs, or sufficient to keep tho spike mills "busy for tho next two months or more, while many additional orders are pending. The purchase of spikes will mean moro extensive re construction work as well as new track laying. JKrio Prize Section Marked. A monument of merit for the best maintained section on tho Susque hanna division of tho Erie Railroad has been erected at the upper end of the Erie station at Waverly. An at tractive whito enameled gateway has oeen placed which bears tho legend, " Prize Section," across the top. Those passing through on trains can plainly see tho sign of efficient work. WARSHIPS TO BRING THE MAINE'S DEAD. Armored Cruisers, Convoyed by Scout Cruisers. Will Carry the Bodies. Although definite plans of the navy department for bringing back the bones of the men who perished aboard the battleship Maine will not be announced antll word comes from the war depor1 ment that there remuin no more bones to be recovered, a tentative plan L is been drawn to have two armored cruisers convoyed by scouts bring baek the Maine's dead. The armored onus crs the Washington nnd the North Carolina and the three scout cruisers the Birmingham, the Chester and the Salem may bo assigned to this duty. The suggestion that the battleship Maine be given this assignment for sentimental reasons was made to Sec retary Meyer, but difficulties! have been encountered In putting this plan into execution. The Maine is now In re serve at the Philadelphia navy yard, and to send this ship to Havana would necessitate considerable rush work. The suggestion that the battleships the Florida and tho Utah, the two new est super-Dreadnoughts, be selected has the disadvantage of keeping these ves sels away from the fleet formation, and the navy department's winter pro gram calls for keeping the battleships as much as possible together for the tactical exercises which Hear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander In chief, wishes to put the fleet through.
