High St., at Ferry, Salem, Oregon, 46tfc Western shippers loaded 1,050,903 cars of freight on Southern Pacific’s Pacific System lines in 1923, an in crease of almost 200,000 cars over the loading for 1922, which was 851,942 cars. The 1923 loading, according to J. H. Dyer, general manager of the com pany, was the heaviest in the history of the company. If all the freight cars loaded on the company’s Pacific System in 1923 were coupled up with the locomotives nec essary to move them and with a pro portionate number of cabooses, they would make a train 8,600 milks in length—long enough to extend around the United States from Portland, Ore gon, through Chicago, Buffalo, New York, Washington, New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco and back to Portland, with about 400 miles of cars left over.

These stand ards were: 30 tons of freight per car loaded; 30 miles per car per day: 85 per cent of locomotives in service able condition and not requiring heavy repairs by October 1, the start of the season of heaviest traffic; and 95 per cent of freight cars in serviceable condition, by October 1. Southern Pacific bettered y these standards in every instance except ip the average carload, and its perform ance in this respect was a remark ably good one and not to be measured by the goal set for all the railroads, because of Southern Pacific’s large tonnage of light loading, perishable products, a full car of which averages about fourteen tons. The-average tonnage per car loaded in 1923 was 27.5 tons which was an in crease of seven tenths of a ton over the excellent record" made in 1922. The company made its freight cars travel twelve miles, farther each day than the goal set for the railroads as a whole, getting an average daily mileage per car of forty-two miles. In one month, an average of 47.3 miles per car per day was obtained. The average for 1922 was 36.8 miles. Botulism Sunday School at 10 a. m.

In only three months did the company have less than 95 per cent of freight cars in serviceable condition, the national goal by Oc tober 1. The average for the year was 95.4 per cent as compared with 93.65 per cent in 1922. Another improvement in perform ance was in the gross locomotive load, which averaged 3 per cent better in 1923 than in 1922. T h is. means that each locomotive was made to haul a heavier load. While there was a shortage of re frigerator cars during the peak of the grape shipping season, it did not approach in extent the shortage of 1922 and did not appear until a great er tonnage of grapes had been ship ped up to that time than in any pre vious year. The same effort for increased effi ciency is being made in 1924, accord ing to Southern Pacific officials, and improvements and additions are be ing steadily made over the system.
