FREIGHT KQl U'.MEXT
MI ST BE CONSERVED
The full carload, it is said, will be
again the object of a vigorous cam
paign this year by the railroads serv
ing the Pacific coast.
The conservation of freight equip
ment Is regarded as necessary for the
second year of the war as In 1917,
even though roads such as the
Southern Pacific will be in possession
of more locomotives and cars than
they ever hail in their history. The
explanation is that under the pres
sure of war it is easier to develop an
abnormal demand than It Is -to de
velop an abnormal supply. Great as
was the demand for equipment last
year, it is expected to be greater in
1918 when thousands of new fac
tories working on government orders
will be In full swing, and a substan
tial overseas force will be dependent
upon a steady supply. As Uncle Sam
gets into the conflict deeper and
deeper ,the burden upon the carriers
will grow.
Southern Pacific officials are hope
ful that the huge construction pro
gram outlined by that company will

PAYMENTS MADE EASY
FOR I XOLE SAM'S MEN
Soldiers and sailors who have been
buying Southern Pacific lands on the
Installment plan need not worry
about their payments until the war
Is over. They have until nine months
after that time before they have to
resume their obligations, according
to B. A. McAlIaster, land commission
er of the company. This applies both
to Interest and to principal.
"The company," said Mr. McAlIas
ter, "enters Into a supplemental
agreement with such a purchaser,
under the terms of which his pay
ments as they become duo are auto
matically extended until either the
end of the war or until the termina
tion of his service with the army or
navy, whichever circumstance may
first occur. And all that the pur
chaser has to do is to apply to the
company within ninety days thereaf
ter, and a date will be fixed, within
nine months, when the first of his
deferred payments will fall due, the
others to follow a year apart In their
original sequence. And no Interest
is charged him In the meanwhile.
"In making this arrangement the
Southern Pacific has anticipated the
so-called 'soldleis' and sailors' civil
rights or moratorium bill, for we
have had the rule in effect since May
10, or but a few days more than a
month after the declaration of war."
