incr COST itic same as the other kind 



and receivers alike. The railroads are 

 making every effort wiiicli their re- 

 sources will permit to put cars in 

 condition for service and in otlicr 

 directions to prepare themselves to 

 handle the traffic with promptness. 



"Shippers and receivers, commercial 

 organizations and others having to do 

 with the commerce of the country, are 

 earnestly urged to lend their efforts and 

 influence in every way possible to bring 

 about the most economical use of equip- 

 ment, and the following suggestions are 

 made, for which the widest publicity is 

 solicited: (1) Move all the coal, lumlDer, 

 cement and other suiiplies that you can 

 before the heavy crop movement starts. 

 (2) Load and unload all cars as quickly 

 as possible. If, without additional cost, 

 the use of greater force will get the 

 load ready for movement or the car 

 released more quickly, do it. (3) Load 

 all cars to the full capacity. A leeway 

 of 10 per cent above the marked capa- 

 city is permitted before reduction of 

 load is required. All cars should so far 

 as possible be loaded to a weight be- 

 tween the marked capacity and 10 per 

 cent above. (4) Anticipate the disposi- 

 tion of freight before its arrival. (5) 

 Only order such cars as can be loaded 

 promptly. Orders for cars should state 

 the number required for that day's 

 loading, the kind of cars, the final des- 

 tination of the shipment, and the rout- 

 ing via which it will move, (fi) Reduce 

 to the niinimmn the practice of billing 

 cars to intermediate points to be held 

 for reconsignment. The greatly in- 

 creased crops cannot but be reflected in 

 the movement of other freight, or fail 

 to impress upon the minds of everyone 

 interested in the sub.ject the necessity 

 for the most hearty co-operation on the 

 part of all if a serious car shortage and 

 its accompanying damage to all lines of 

 trade is to be avoided."

Irrigation Congress 



The first International Irrigation 

 Congress in Canada, or, in fact, in any 

 place outside of the United States, will 

 be that in Calgary October 5 to 9 next. 

 This congress promises to be one of the 

 best ever held in the history of the 

 organization since its birth in Salt Lake 

 City, Utah, in 1891. It is especially 

 appropriate that this congress should 

 be held in Calgary, as this city is the 

 western gateway to one of the largest 

 irrigation projects in the world — a pro- 

 ,iect on which many millions of money 

 have been spent and which is one of 

 the great factors in reclamation on the 

 North American continent. 



The visitors and delegates to the con- 

 gress this year will have an opportunity 

 of inspecting this pro,ject, with its many 

 miles of ditches and tributary canals. 

 A large number of inciuiries have been 

 received from persons interested in 

 irrigation throughout the United States 

 and Canada, and there is reason to 

 believe that a record attendance will 

 grace the 1914 congress. Every effort 

 is being put forth by the local board of 

 control to provide one of the best pro- 

 grams that has ever attracted irriga-
