Inod to dofoat tho high cost of rail

shows pro ml so of revolutionizing tho
business of transporting laborom
from ono point to anotbor quickly.
A fow days ago a lumbor company In
this vicinity placed an ordor with tho

In duo courso of time tho mon arrived
on tho sceno ready to go to work, but
not on the CMC, as customary.
Tho employment agency, by caro
ful calculation, arrived nt tho conclu
sion that mon could bo transported
from Bacramontto to this vicinity
cheaper by largo auto bussos than by
