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.
FOR CENTENARY OF PEACE.
Bill Appropriating $7,500,000 For a Na

A piun for the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of the
treaty of Olient is ponding before the
Benate committee on foreign relations
in the shape of a bill appropriating

Burton of Ohio framed the measure.

en members, all citizens of the United

compensation. The duties of the com
mission would be to nld In tho formu
lation and execution of a plan to cele
brate the one hundredth annlversnry
of peace among English speaking peo
ples In conjunction with any citizens'
association of recognized standing
either in the United States or In the
rjrltlsh empire.
An Invitation to tho nations of the
world to Join in celebrating tho Ghent
treaty anniversary will bo extended by
tho commission through tho state de
partment should tho measuro be fa
Torably acted upon.
To 102 on Tea and Rye Bread.
James Cain, a stono mason and Chi
cago pioneer, died at the age of 102
yoars, having lived for tho last decade
on tea and ryo bread. He often told
his friends that a dlot of tea and rye
bread, supplemented with a little oth
