January l to June l. 1888, 2.2l2 miles
of railway track have been laid. This

to exceed 5000 miles, with likeli-
hood that it will reach 10000 miles,
and Il possibility that it may not fall
short of $4,000 miles. Almost $4,000
miles of track were laid in 1887, the
year of greatest construction ever
known.
