Growth of British India.

An appendix to the new Indian statisti-
cal abstract con tains table showing the
increase in the area and population of
IL dia since 1912. In that year the area
was 626 600 square miles, in 1914 it in
creased TO 675,U00, IN 1917 to 694, 600, in
1913 TO $4,000, and so on down to 1856
more or less was added every year lex
cept 1882, until it reached $50 900 square
miles, aud in 1856 it rose TO 856,0OO Al
this 1t remained ustl 1865, when this in
creased to 100000; in 1882 this rose to
SIS. 256, and in 1886 to 947, S87 square
miles. So that British India in 1886 was
half as large again as it was IN 1912. Per,
haps this extraordinary increase will be
better understood when put in this way
Since 1912 an area equal to France, Italy
and Belgium has been added to British
Tndia-that is, TO British territory in
India, excluding the native states. In
1912, British India had an area equal to
France, Spain and the German en- pire
today; by 1852 an area as large as Italy
and Portugal together was added To this
by 1852 further area as large as Hun
gary was added; by 1882 this was increas-
ed by the arsa of Holland, and by 1886
an area equivalent 10 that OF the whole
German EN- pire, excluding the kingdom
of Prussia, was added to this. The area
of the native states under British pro-
lection, which are not included in the
above examination, is roughly equivalent
to the combined areas of the Austro-
Hungarian empire, Spain, Portugal and
Italy.

Something About the Lake Shore
n Eastern Road.

Something About the Lake Shore
n Eastern Road.
Probably there is no subject oi great
er interest to the citizens OF Spokane
than the plans OF the Lake Shore Il
Eastern railroad. which it is hoped
will be extended to this city before an
other year has passed. The following
clippings from the Seattle papers show
that, though definite arrangements
! have not yet been completed, the gen.
eral impression is that they will be in
| the near future:
The latest move taken in the inter
est OF the Seattle, Lake Shore Il East
ern railway is the most important in
character that has been consummated
since the company was organized.
1t is now arranged that the road will
not only be rapidly extended across
the mountains and to the Columbia
| river, but from IL point in eastern
Washington territory the road will be
pushed westward, thus fastening the
time when the road will reach the
great producing sections in the terri.
tory, and relieve them from the throt-
Ting hands now upon their throats.
A. nj. Cannon, president of the Spo-
kane * Palouse railway, and the man
who was the pioneer settler at Spo.
kane Falls, and Paul Mohr, engineer
of the same road, are in Seattle, and
have been engaged in completing the
arrangements. That is one of the rea-
,..l,,, "a. L. 4. 4
as the successor OF J. q. Scurry, the re-
tiring engineer CT the Seattle, Lake
Shore & Eastern. Remotely, this ar
rangement has something to do with
the recent changes in the construction
companies connected with the Seattle,
Lake Shore g. Eastern railway.
The real basis of tine arrangement
is, that the eastern capitalists, who
have placed at the disposal OF the com
rany all the mo"ey it needs, and
more than II can Immediately Use ut
the rate which the road ID now being
constructed, have taken the position
that there is no reason why the road
should not be graded, mt least, through
the territory beyond the Columbia
river, SO that when the road is extended
from the west to the Columbia river, il
will only remain TO lay the ties and
rails to have the road completed
II is expected that by this arrange
