BEGINNINGS OF RAILROADS IN INDIANA TOLD fany Humorous Incidents Connected With Early Days. Free passes for fighting fires started by sparks from the enginestrains, waits between stations to allow persons to finish their breakfast and cows parked on the track. Such were the things that accompanied the beginnings of railroads in Indiana, according to an article by Maurice Murphy, an employe of the Big Four Railroad’s Beech Grove Shops, in a late issue of the Indiana Magazine of History. The construction of the Indianapolis & Bellefontaine Railroad, the oldest part of the Big Four system in Indiana, and the second line in the State, is discussed by Murphy. The Bellefontaine road, as it was called, was chartered in IS4B. Capital stock was fixed at $1,000,000, payable in money, lands, labor or materials for construction, president Smith, in his report of Htarch 6, 1849, estimated cost of the Bghty-three miles of road as $722,100 $8,700 a mile for the T-rail, and H 94,084 or $5,963 a mile if fiat rails used. ■ First Section Inid Vrhe first section of twenty-eight files to Pendleton was ready for sack laying by April, ISSO, and the R-st train ran into Pendleton Dec. 11, 1850. It was continued on through Anderson and Muncie to Chesterfield by Oct. 8, 1851. The equipment and operation was crude. 1“A locomotive had, at first, neither cow-catcher nor cab; it weighed ten or thirteen tons, and . was capable of hauling twelve or I fifteen cars holding three tons each. | Twenty miles an hour for passenger i trains was considered a high rate of speed,” Murphy wrote. Today the "Mikado” engine, the •latest type of freight locomotive in ''use on the Big Four, weighs 334,000 pounds. A train of ninety to one hundred cars on this road is nothing unusual today. , In the early days, stops were made at streams or pools along the right-of-way to replenish the water supply. Leather buckets, carried on hooks on the side of the tender, were used for that purpose. Engines Carry Wood The engines carried wood, brought to the tender from ricks along the route. It was handed down in tradition that at a certain pool along the railroad the train crews would stop long enough to take a s.vim, and that they and their wives would gather blackberries. I In ‘‘The Locomotive” of August this humorous incident was reRled; ‘‘The evening train on the Bellefontaine Railroad ran over a cow on Tuesday night near Muncie, and threw the locomotive and baggage off the track and broke the front passenger car. No one on the train was injured.” The name o fthe railroad was changed to the Indianapolis, Pittsburgh & Cleveland, Feb. 1, 1855. It was consolidated with the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. I/Ouis & Chicago, and the Indianapolis & St. Louis in June, 1899, to form the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis—the Big Four.

MAIL JUMPS | ONE-FOURTH Three and HaJf Million More \ Pieces Handled. ■ The Indianapolis postoffice ha riddled 11,942,322 pieces of mail from , Dec. 15 to 24, inclusive, Postmaster f Rol>ert 11. Bryson announced today, k This is an increase of about 25 per cent over the amount last year, which totaled 8,543,322. L Thursday, 1,400,000 pieces of mail, H including a large amount of late ICkristmas mall went through tiie , postofflce. Os the mail handled ■Sis year, 2,000,000 pieces were in- " coming letters and Christmas greeting cards. Mail carriers and clerks were back on the job today after their * first Christmas holiday and w're working hard to clear the postofflce of tardy incoming mail . Bryson said Indianapolis persons responded to the mail early call and there were only a few tardy outgoing letters and packages today. AUTOS MEET; TWO HURT Woman Injured in Fall on Icy Pavement.

THE LNDIANAPOLIiS TIMES

WHEAT PRICES JUMP SHARPLY Short Sensational Session Seen on Exchange. Bn United Frees CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—A decidedly bullish feeling Jumped wheat prices 4% cents to 7*4 cents in today’s short session on the Chicago Board of Trade sending May up to $1.80% for anew high on the crop. A final recession dropped the latter fractionally. Confidence that pervaded the wheat piti spread over the entire trading floor, both corn and oats registering good advances. Most gains in wheat were made in December options. Rapid fluctuations and wide price swings caused considerable variance between blackboard quotations and actual pit sales. 'Wheat’s sharp upturn was sensational in view of the greatly reduced trading. Unfavorable crops report in the Argentine, together with unfavorable Government crop reports last Tuesday brought covering by shorts. Although corn closed moderately higher, strength in this grain was not anywhere near that displayed in the wheat pit. Reported! heavy accumulation of receipts at leading terminal elevators created an useasy feeling among purchaser*. Ofcts followed other grains. Provisions were quiet. RECORD VALUE SET New Top Price on YY’heat Established 'n Kansas City. Bv Unit'd Frees , KANSAS CITY. Mo., Dec. 26.

The Day After the Night Before f Refrigerators Aren’t Only Ones Who Have Christmas Hangovers.

.Jj ELL. it was a pretty nice W Christmas, considering. Uncle Henry, hale, hearty and a tobacco chewer, got half a dozen Irish linen handkerchiefs with his Initials hand engraved. “I don’t know yet what I’ll do with them,” said Uncle Henry. Cousin George, who has a bad heart, defied doctor’s orders with his new smoking jacket. Aunt Jenny, who still does her hair up on curlers, viewed a silk chemise as a total loss. Mother wondered where she’d put the Italian Jug antique and wished the children had given her something for the house instead. Dad was planning to let his whiskers grow despite six safety razors. He had to wear the tie mother gave him. He wanted sox. Little Jacky got a train—that i he thought he did. He wishes papa didn't work at the Courthouse with that additional holiday. Mother resurrected the turkey from the refrigerator. Eighteen ate off of it yesterday, but itts still a good bird. More fortunate families had chicken. A few folks still were eating nuts. Y'es, even the weather man had a hangover. Brrrh!

SEEKS LONGER CLOSED SEASON FOR RACCOONS Government Fears Extinction of Fur-Bearing Animals. Bt XEA Service WASHINGTON, Dec. l>;.— The number of fur coats irorn by men and women for sport and driving has increased enormously during the last few years and has led Government officials to fear an extinction of furbe&ring animals. The raccoon is probably given lees protection than any other fur-bearing animal in America and yet it ranks third among the four most important fur bearers in this country. It would seem that this animal should be more highly valued and protected throughout its range during the breeding period and the time of unprime fur since it affords not only fur. but also food and sport. Thirty-seven States have given the raccoon protection, with open seasons ranging from one to five months, while it is still unprotected in the remaining States. '''■ The Biological Survey believes that the raccoon should be given protection in all States and the open season for this animal should be limited to three months. NEW COUNCIL WILL BE BUSY Reappropriation of Balance Task of County Officials. When the county council convenes about Jan. 20, Its first act will be to reappropriate the balance of county funds which revert to the general fund after Dec. 31, Harry county auditor, said today. The council will also be faced with the immediate problem of appropriating funs for maintaining Julietta, county Insane asylum, the next twelve months. iMst September the council refused to appropriate for Julietta because It was Intended to close the institution Jan. 1. It was contended the State sould bear the burden of caring for the insane. Following protests from several organizations. the council and county commissioners agreed to maintain the institution indefinitely. Commissioners have announced no more patients will be accepted. It is planned eventually to convert Julietta into a home for delinquent children. OFFICE IS RANSACKED Burglar* Attempted to Track Contractor's Safe. Safe-crackar* entered the John A.

Across the Desk With Busy Men Indianapolis Faces Prospect of Rising Potato Prices.

By Rader Wtnget r''% N enormous shortage In J I potato#* is showh in a crop report released today by the United States Department of Agriculture. The Department reports a shortage of 181,541,000 bushels of potatoes In estimates for 1925 over the total crop harvested in 1924. This deflict of course boosts the wholesale and retail price at the local market. Consumers will have to pay a much higher price this year than last year. Local commission merchants say the price will jump to higher levels before the winter is over. The cause for the shortage was the frosts during the early part of the fall of this year. On Nov. 1 an estimate of 346,503,000 bushels of potatoes was made by the United States Department of Agriculture, but on Dec. 1, the estimate had dropped to 323,243,000 bushels of potatoes. A decrease of 28.260.000 bushels of potatoes had to be made oetween the two estimates because of the damaged crop. mNDIANA and Indianapolis use more Michigan and Wisconsin potatoes than any others, commission merchants than any others, commission merchants say In the Government report a shortage of approximately 9,000,000 bushels is shown In Michigan potatoes and a shortage of approximately S,000J)00 bushels Is shown in Wisconsin potatoes. Estimates made for Michigan potatoes Dec. 1, 1925, were 24,401,000 bushels and on Dec. 1, 1924 the estimate was 33.800,000. Wisconsin potatoes were estimated at 23.632,000 bushels In Dec. 1, 1925, and 31,460,000 on Dec. 1. 1924. Thus Indianapolis and Indiana face a prospect of an enormous shortage of a vital food. At the present local firms hare a good supply of potatoes in storage and more are being received every day. There will be a sufficient supply of potatoes, but prices will be higher. 1."I AILUREW this week m the I P I United States as reported to 1 1 I R.
