Railroad operation in the United States reached normal conditions during the year 1923 for the first time since the World war, and California carloadings as well as carloading throughout the country established new records without car shortages or undue car congestion at the great terminals in the east, President Clyde L. Seavey of the Railroad Commission stated in an address before the Co-operative Fruit Growers Association, California Hall, Berkeley. These results were accomplished. President Seavey stated, by the cooperation of federal and state agencies, railroads and shippers, in the solving of transportation problems which in 1922 virtually amounted to a breaking down of the transportation system during the year of the car movement. After reviewing transportation conditions in 1922 President Seavey described the efforts of the federal and state bodies cooperating with the carriers and shippers, to relieve the situation, and with gratifying results, and laying the foundation for an efficient and successful handling of the situation during 1923. That these efforts have been successful is noted on page four. The first nine months of 1922. The amount of freight service rendered by each car, national average, was 611 tons carried one mile daily during the first eight months of 1923, which exceeds the record of any previous year, and is 31 per cent greater than the record for 1922. To bring about these remarkable results the railroads placed in service from January to October 1, 1923, 14,636 new freight cars, and 2,963 new locomotives, a larger number than in any similar period during the last ten years. New equipment still on order with the builders as of October 1, 1923, showed 1,242 new locomotives, and 64,601 freight cars. In addition to this the number of freight cars awaiting heavy repairs have been lowered to 5.4 per cent of the total number owned, and locomotives awaiting heavy repairs, 13.7 per cent, the lowest percentage for locomotives on record. President Seavey pointed out that in 1923 for the first time a genuine effort has been made to place the operation of the railroads on a basis of efficiency, and to properly serve the transportation needs of the country. He asserted the records already made are conclusive and emphasize the necessity of continuing a broad comprehensive plan, and close adherence to the details of such plan, that the efficiency already maintained may be continued and improved. Increase of demurrage rates was urged to reduce holding of cars at terminals.

POSTAL SAY According to Office department accounts increase month of October is reflected in In 1922 virtually amounted to a breaking down of the transportation system during the year of the car movement. After reviewing transportation conditions in 1922 President Seavey described the efforts of the federal and state bodies cooperating with carriers and shippers, to relieve the situation, and with gratifying results, and laying the foundation for an efficient and successful handling of the situation during 1923. That these efforts have been successful to a marked degree was pointed out by President Seavey, who called attention to the fact that in 1923, January to October, inclusive, 161,000 refrigerator cars loaded with oranges, lemons, green fruit, vegetables, meats and miscellaneous cargo were moved from California points to destinations throughout the country, as against 113,659 cars during the entire year of 1922, an increase of 47,740 cars or 42 per cent. Carloading throughout the country achieved a new record during September of this year, 1,097,274 cars being loaded with revenue producing freight, during the last week of that month. High records are still being maintained, President Seavey pointed out, as 1,073,965 cars were loaded during the week ending October 27, an increase of 122,581 cars over the same period of 1921, and 72,247 cars over the corresponding period of 1922. The number of cars loaded with revenue freight from January 1 to October 20, 1923, was 40,545,920, an increase of 18 per cent over the similar period of 1922, and 190 per cent over the record of 1920, the largest in the history of the railroads. The average car mileage per day was increased during 1923 to 27.2 miles during the first nine months, to 29.2 miles per day during September, as compared with 22.5 miles in has raised the cost of gowns our wo- SOME THINGS TO "VIEW WITH ALARM" It is the custom of the party out of power to "view with alarm" the various things the party in power has done. The Democratic Party will engage in the customary viewing and alarming in 1924. And there are plenty of things to view, for the party in power has been doing many things. For instance, here are some of the things the Democrats can bring within the range of their viewing binoculars: A reduction of $2,000,000,000 in the amount of out standing government obligations, thus depriving a lot of people of the interest they have been drawing from the treasury. Accumulation of a surplus in the treasury, thus encouraging the Government to extravagance, whereas the usual Democratic deficit would have forced economy. The restoration of the railroads to efficient operation under private management, which removes the possibility of a practical demonstration of the ultimate results of long Government operation. The Washington Conference which settled disputes in the Pacific and took away from the alarmists their only excuse for predicting an early war with Japan. The Limitations of Armament treaty which reduced the building of battleships, cut down the work of our steel mills and set thousands of workers free to engage in competition with workmen in other lines of production. The enactment of a protective tariff law which has made it difficult for Americans to buy direct from London—the newest cuts of society clothes and The Prince Store P Christmas Sale Of Dresses, Coats, Skirts, Bru Wool, Sweaters, and Hundre Xmas Suggestions for Gift Bu THE PRINCE STO Cor. Center and Lemon Sts. menfolk want to buy in Paris. The enactment of every measure asked for by representatives of farmers at the last session of Congress, thus encouraging the farmers to go to Congress for further legislation. The reduction of Federal taxes, which leaves the people with more money in their pockets to spend in riotous living. The restriction of immigration, which compels a lot of people in Southern Europe to remain there when we have plenty of jobs generous Americans could give up to them. The establishment of a budget system which has eliminated a lot of duplication and deprived several thousand people of government jobs. The revival of the war finance Corporation over the veto of President Wilson thus helping the farmers back on their feet when the Democrats had them down for the count. Continued operation of Government ships despite the Democratic filibuster, when it would be easier to let the ships of other governments do all our carrying for us. These and many other deeds of the Republican Administration furnish abundant objects upon which the Democratic leaders may train their magnifying glasses when the time comes for them to "view with alarm." Their "alarm" is not likely to be very contagious. POSTAL SAVINGS INCREASED According to the records of the Post Office department, the postal savings accounts increased $80,000 during the month of October. The tourist traffic is reflected in these reports by the decrease of postal receipts in northern resort cities and their increase in southern resort cities. Cars driven by N. W. Rorden of Fulerton and Fred Shaffer of Orange, collided on the boulevard near the county hospital Friday evening. Mr. Rorden was accompanied by his niece and Mr. Shaffer by his wife. Neither of the ladies was seriously injured, but both suffered from shock. Both Rorden and Shaffer were rendered unconscious, Rorden being brought to the Anaheim sanitarium and Shaffer taken to the county hospital near where the accident occurred. On regaining consciousness neither drivers could explain the cause of the accident. WEST BROADWAY M. E.
