NEW ORLEANS, March 1. J. Bellinger, one of the members of the Council of Fair hope, Ala., the only single tax community. Is in New Orleans on a business trip and talked most interestingly of the settlement. "Fairhope," he said, "Is on tho eastern shore of Mobile bay and about llfteen miles from Mobile. It has a population of about 2ö and every soul in the community Is con tented. The town is run as a joint stock company and i capitalize! at jr.'A. The iciea which gave birth to it was not to make money, but to tet the efficiency of Henry George's single tax plan. The test has bn a success in every way. There are no rich men In Fairhope, biit there is none poverty stricken. "The Falrhope company owns 1.2'V acres. When it was organized and the land bought the joint stock company plan was adopted as the- only method to secure the operation of the single tax theory. The company owns these 1.21)0 acres and leases its land to any applicant of satisfactory personality. The rental charged is based solely n the value of the ground leased, from the stand point of site and product ivity. The leases are Klven for ninety-nine years, so that the renters have a foothold on the land and no hesitancy about improving the property. "The Fairhope company pays all taxes out of the rents, except the taxes on moneys and cn-dits. This plan makes the land value bear all the burden of taxation and realizes the ideal, of that great thinker, Henry tJeorge. No matter how many im provements a renter puts jn the land he leases, his rent Is not raised. Suppose you buy a seat in the theater. You pay a stip ulated price for it. and the management loes not charge you any more whether you wear clothing or jewelry valued at a million dollars or attend in the plainest at tire. After you purchase the seat it makes no difference whether you attend at all or not. in fact. Ju?t so with the land the land Is worth no more with a house on it than before the house was built, unless there are other causes for an advance in its value. "Fairhope owns all its franchises. It owns the town wharf, which is the source of considerable re venue. It büilt this wharf without a dollar. Instead f paying for the material and labor in money. It issued cer tificates entitling the holder to tjie use of the wharf after Its completion in propor tion to their contributions. Every one of these certificates has been redeemed al ready anl the company has drilled a pub lic well am! bought a steamboat, which plies between Fairhope and Mobile on the same plan. As soon as the well is paid for the water will be free." Oiark Hills I'armersi SiifTeriiiK. FORSYTH. Mo.. March 15. Hundreds of farmers in the Ozark hills of southern Mis souri and northern Arkansas, whose crops failed luring last summer's drought, are living in a desperately poor way on short rations. It is estimated that probablv 10 per cent. f the population in the Mstrict n.ited has felt the bitter pangs of hunger tins winter. Offers of aid have he-n re fused. The chief listress now comes from a lack of seed for the spring planting. This is being relieved by the distribution of set tl purchase.

With favorable weather, track power In bettor shape and plenty of traffic, last week's volume of business, both passenger ani freight, was moved under about nor mal conditions, the train records showing that 64S more loaded oars were handled at this city than In the preceding week, in which the tonnage was large, and. In fact, record-breaking for -March. The empty car movement was also large, exceeding 6.CO0, and with this le?s complaint is heard of car shortage. In fact, except in certain lines, the supply is fully equal to the demand. There is a strong demand for furniture cars and also for cars in which to load agricul tural implements and other bulky freights and for refrigerator cars, as large quanti ties of produce of various descriptions la now being shipped. Miscellaneous freights of all classes are beginning to move freely. It is apparent that the tonnage will be large for some time to come. East-bound shipments of grain are exceedingly light, but In other lines, such as provisions, cer eal products and produce, they are seldom heavier. West-bound the tonnage is at its normal volume. Freights delayed by storms in the FJat the past week have been arriv ing in large quantities and the situation is much improved. This has improved the car situation, as thousands of cars were held for two or three weeks on sidetracks of the Eastern lines which arc now in service. Local traffic Is heavy; merchants "are re ceiving and shipping- large quantities of roods, manufacturers are busy and making heavy shipments, commission merchants are doing the best business In many months, packing houses are doing more than in March last year, lumber dealers are get ting in immense quantities of lumber which they have been awaiting cars to handle and freight traffic is at its best locally. Street improvements will now begin and also the erection of new buildings, which will fur ther increase business, and the expression with freight officials is that seldom Is the outlook so promising as at present. It is claimed that freights are carried at full LirifT rates.

The managers of the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Dig Four, the Missouri Pacific and the Santa Fe have been notified that the gov ernment is about to move a large body of troops from Porto Rico to the Philippines without a break. They will touch the Cnitcd States at Newport News and go j direct to San Francisco via Kansas City, the Santa Fe to carry them west of tlfe river. The tickets are made the longest possible distance under the flag, the dis tance being 2,000 miles from Porto Rico to Newport News, 3.S40 miles across the United States, 4.701 miles from San Fran cisco to Hong-Kong, and 1.4S0 from Hong Kong to Manila. George Hagenbuch. of the Santa Fe pasenger department, in com menting on the transportation of the mil itary, said that not the least wonderful thing in connection with the transporta tion of the military is that during all the four years it. has been going on there has been but one train load of them wrecked, and not a vessel has lost a life. One trans port went down, but all on board were saved. Another Parifle stmcWn nhi,.K I sank took down with her Consul Wildman, wno rentieren sucn signal service In China during the dark days of three years ago, but she was not a government transport. The only militury train which was wrecked made Roosevelt President of the Fnited States, so some romancists claimed. On the train were (Jrigshy's Rough Riders, cowboys r-cruited in the Northwest. It was a race between Grlgsby ami Leonard Wood, who organized the command Roose velt joined, to get to the concentration camps. (Jrigsby was ditched and before he could get his men remounted, requiring much time to get horses. Colonel Wood was ordered to the front and he made his way to San Juan and subsequently to the command of the Island of Cuba as its mil itary Governor. Roosevelt was made colonel of the regiment while in the field, and later went to the White House." nelt llnnil Trnffle. In the week ending March 15 there were transferred over the Reit road 20,011 cars, against 20.432 in the preceding week.

The Big Four handled at Indianapolis last week a total f 13,m;s cars, 11,270 be ing loaded, a record-breaking week. Cn April 1 the Union Pacific will begin operating Us own dining cars over Its entire Kvstem A now department to operate the cars has been created. Th- Raltimore & Ohio has withdrawn stopor privileges heretofoie granted on tlrst-elass unlimited tickets except at Washington & Baltimore. Charles M. Jacobs, consulting engineer of the Pennsylvania, says that In two years the North river tunnel will be completed ami cars running through it. Train on the New York Central, con sisting of nine cars, was on Thursday hauled from Rochester to Syracuse, eighty one miles, in eighty minutes. The Pennsylvania lines west put into service last week more than 5v new cars. The company is asking manufacturers of locomotives and cars to rush orders. The official board of the Chicago, Mil-wa-ikpe & St. Paul is taking preliminary p'epsi to double, tracking the road between Camp Pousl.is and P-rookfield. a distance of 12) miles The Rrilt-ad Commission of Illinois is preparing for a complete revision of rail road raK-s in trat State, and has directed Its secretary to begin the work of collect ing needed Jnfornr lion. The Toledo Ohio Central is planning to expend a large sum of money in the next eighteen months in improving the condi tion of tho property, reducing grades, eliminating curves and laying heavier rails! George S. MeKee, formerly master me chanic of the Wabash at Fort Wayne, now superintendent of motive power of' the Mo bile V- Ohio, was in Fort Wayne yesterday making preparations to remove his family to Mobile. Ala. The Central Passenger Association has unanimously lecided to confine thUr in terchange ot business with the lake lines to those that have given assurance that they would cease paying commissions ami dealing with scalpers. H. R. Harriman, now on a Western trip, is taking steps to ..top rate cutting and ii siid to br meeting with much success. Mr. Harriman says iate cutting has long been eating lino tin heart of the transportation companies and must b- stopped. During- the past two yearn the I.at ka war.na haserected 25.770 tons of new steel bridge work at a cost of about J'l.t). To carry out the betterments In bridge work made necessary by heavier and faster trains will require :,000 tons of steel at an expenditure of Ji.oi'V'oo. which will be spread over three or four years. But few r-ersons are aware of the impor tance of Indianapolis as a produce ship ping point. It is not an unusual thing for thirty to forty carloads of eggs, poultry and butter to be shipped in a day. and on Sunday it often runs up to fifty cars. Western millers are interested in a move ment to base the rate on flour. Chicago to New York, at 13 cents per 100 pounds in stead of 17Vjc. as now. This done they can compete with rates given on wheat for ex port which is converted Into flour in Europe. President Hall, of the New York. New Haven & Hartford, confirms the statement recently made that a close alliance will be formed between the Pennsylvania and his I nes. The two companies are said to have plans for through service, especially on the export trade. Since the Toledo and Iogansport division of the Vandalia was opened for traffic and chingc? made In operating it the company disburses at Ioganppcrt fully 5) per cent, more money, and further changes in shops, etJ.. will add materially to the disburse ments at that print. The Chicago, Rock Island fc Pacific has given notice of Its withdrawal from the Southwestern Passenger Association. It is hoped that a dlsrupticn of the association will be avoided, but indications are thet there is such a lack of harmony that it will bo impossible to prevent dissolution. Eight firemen on the inttsburg. Fort Wayne Chicago were last week pro moted engineers, and six on the Panhandle. The companies are placing so many new engines in service that there is a great opening for firemen who are competent for promotion, said one of the officials. A proposition is said to have been made to the Erie to turn over to the Pittsburg Sc Lake Erie its Mahcnins division for oper ating purposes, and it is understood, that unless it Is done the IMttsburg & Lake Erie will build into Cleveland to connect direct with the Lake Shore, and to Gallon, to connect with the Big Four. As now understood, the changes in the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy passenger department will be the promotion of P. S. Eustis to be passenger traffic manager, John Francis to succeed Mr. Eustis as gen eral passenger agent. I. W. akely to go to Omaha to succeed Mr. Francis, and H. L. Harmons succeeding Mr. Wakely at St. Louis. Harry Grayblll. traffic manager of the Belt Road and Union Stockyards Company, has returned from Fort Worth. Tex., where he went to attend the National Live Stock Association convention. Nearly every stockyard In this country was represented. Mr. Graybill perfected arrangements with a number of stock raisers to ship to the Indianapolis market, and secured rates for them which will stimulate the traffic. The current issue of the Railroad Ga zette publishes, after a careful review of the new mileage of railroad to be built this yer, and finds It to be 1.308 mile?, against 1.6S9 in the corresponding month of 1001. The companies interested are 00r. against 1.0PS a year ago. and against 1,200 in WW. Revised figures show that in 1001 there were built miles of new main line track, Texas leading with 5.17 miles and Oklahoma second with 42& miles. W. Ii. Newman, president of the New York Central, is quoted as saying that no meeting has been held by trunk-line offi cials looking to the dissolution of the money pool. At the time the joint traffic association was dissolved by order of the United States Supreme Court, careful in quiry was made into the legal status of the Trunk-line Association, and eminent counsel said its' operations did not conflict with either the interstate-commerce act or the Sherman anti-trust law. R. R. Turner, general superintendent or the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, gives notice of the following changes in agencies: C U. Hendricks, agent at New Palestine, vice J. H. Taylor, resigned; T. F. Wilker-. son. agent at Brighton, vice H. E. Dohn, resigned: J. E. Windle, agent at Haviland, vice O. W. Medaugh, transferred to Clover Hill, he succeeding C. W. Coleman, trans ferred to Findlay. A ticket agency has been established at Dornington and M. Campbell installed as agent. The American Bridge Company has been awarded the contract for the structural steel work of al! the viaducts that are to go in between the Monongahela and Ohio rivers for the extension of the Wabash Railroad into Pittsburg. About 15..000 tons of fcteel will be used, costing the railroad company $1.5ft.00i. All the materials for this work will be made in the Pittsburg district mills. Work on this contract, as well as the $1.7.V.e0d bridge contracts al ready given the bridge company, must bo completed within a year. After a meeting lasting more than two weeks and a half the Transcontinental Freight Bureau adjourned sine die at Port land. Ore., on Saturday. This was the longest meeting ever held by the bureau, and Its work is more complete than ever. Still its officers say little was done that has any particular significance in trans continental tariffs. A complete revision of the tariff sheets has been effected and ev ery item has been cleared from the docket, but the results of the meeting appear In a multitude of details rather than in impor tant changes. Although the resignation of C. H. War ren, vice president of the Jersey Central, does not become effective until June 1, he will practically sever his connection with the road on April K when he will sail for Europe. It is understood that certain offices of the Jersey Central will be re moved from New York to Philadelphia and thar. First Vice President Vohrees, of the Philadelphia ft Reading, will be made head of the transportation department and tha C. E. Henderson, second vice president, will be placed in charge of the traffic. Mr. Henderson, who was formerly general manager of the Indiana. Bloomlngton & Werdern, ince going to the Philadelphia cc Reading, has made an enviable record, nnd although having twice desired to retire, th; company has refused to listen to his re quest. ECUADOR MAKING TROUBLE. ImprlmoiiiiiB ftritiah Subjeeta nm Well ns Those o the United Stnten. GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador. March 1.. News was received here by telegraph yesterday that a man named Kennedy had been locked up in the jail at Atausi, the same, place where Michael Bolan, of Springfield, O.. formerly was imprisoned. Kennedy Is not an employe of the Guayaquil fc Quito Railroad, but an Englishman trading legal ly in Alausi. He appears to be well con nected. It is believed here that as a re suit of Kennedy's imprisonment the British government will have to consider the mat ter of affording protection to British sub-je-ts in Ecuador. It is expected the United States cruiser Philadelphia, which has been anchored off Puna island, at the mouth of the river, since March 10. will depart to-day. Certain American citizens here have signed and forwarded a statement to the secretary of state at Washington, in wh'ch M. DeLeon, the American consul at Guayaquil, is com plimented on hi stand in the matter of the- recent alleged Impositions upon Ameri can contractors in Ecuador on the part of Ecuadorian officials. Michael Bolan was one of the Americans whose imprisonment was alleged to have been illegal ami nn outrage. The cruiser Philadelphia went to eiuavaquil to make an investigation of the allegations that American citizens had been ill treated in Ecuador. The Philadelphia left the mouth of the river to-oay. She takes with her an Amer ican citizen named Leonard Selzer. from Minnesota, who has been in jail here with out trial slce July 10 last on the charge of murder. As a result of efforts made in Selzer's behalf before Consul De Leon it was learned that no evidence exists upon which he could be condemned. He was, therefore, released. Selzer was formerly a carpenter in the United States navy. M. De Leon will leave here for New York next week. rrnminent Mealenn Injnretl. MEXICO CITY. March IS.

TRADE IN GOOD YOLUME ALL LIMES OF LOCAL ni SHKSs SHOW EXCELLENT GROWTH. Prior Are Seeking: n Seasonable Level In Many Line Grnln Market Is I'nantiafnctoi y. Trade In the week ended on March 13 In several lines exceeded expectations, all con ditions considered. The dry goods market was unusually active, the hardening ten dency of prices tending to force trade some what with merchants who look ahead and take advantage of the market. Business in that line was fully 10 per cent, in excess of last year during the first half of March. The wholesale millinery houses have en joyed an unusually big trade. The drug gists also had a busy week, with but few changes in values. The leather market presents an unusual phase. For some days prices have had a strong tendency to ad vance, but this has not materialized, and dealers are enjoying an excellent trade. Confectioners are surprised at the volume of their business, which usually is very light in March. With grocers, as for some time past, trade gives no room for com plaint as to its volume, but goods are sold so close that large bills must be sold to make good profits, competition now bein the sharpest In many years. The steady tone to prices and the making of but few bad bills are all in favor of the wholesale grocer. On Commission row weather con ditions have been such as to permit the free shipment of fru'ts and vegetables, and the merchants of towns located on the rail road lines have stocked up quite freely, even at the high prices which still prevail. A belief exists, however, that a lower range of prices on vegetables at least, except po tatoes, is near at hand, and retail mer chants are exercising some caution in stock ing up. The produce markets are very act ive. Prices rule steady, even on eggs, which are arriving in large quantities, and next week will surely bring lower prices, say the produce handlers, as in no former year have they been so well held. Eggs were 4 cents lower on Saturday than at the be ginning of the week and IS cents lower than three weeks ago. Choice butter declined 2 cents a pound during the week, but is firm at the present quotation, which Is 2 cents above one year ago. Poultry Is one cent a pound higher than at the corre sponding period of last year. Cheese is very firm and in good request. The iron and hardware markets are very firm and business is good. Traveling salesmen who came in on Friday and Saturday report the outlook for a large spring and summer business as exceedingly promising. Inclinnnpolla Grain Market. March 13 closed one of the dullest weeks in the local market for several months. Inspections were light and dealers showed but little interest. Wheat was 2'2 cent3 lower on Saturday than on Monday, and the market closed weak at prices quoted.
