fhe value of the mines is more than doubtful,
nor has 1t been demonstrated, to the satisfaction
of those who think the park should be kept free
from intrusion of this kind, that a railroad
could not be constructed to reach the mines
without entering the park.
BE this as 1t may, the fact remains that the
friends of the park are willing to change the
northern boundary of the reservation by max

is precisely what the lobby representing the

want. Its members care less for reaching the

Placer Olive Oil Industry.

pounds a day. The quality of her crop
pates realizing some very good oil. The
fruit being crushed at present is mostly of
the Piehoiine variety, the Missions and
some others ripening later are hardly ready
yet to be gathered. As an oil olive Mrs.
Robertson, who has some seventeen differ

this latter point she is making a test, both
as to quality and percentage of oil from the
different varieties, which will be of value
to all producers.-Piacer Herald.

Prejudice Against Railway Management.

Estimating the aggregate value of our
railways at $4,000, 100000, DIR. Lyman Alb
bott declares that this has been ACQUIRED
"by railroad kings taking as their own the
public highways" Now, there doubtless
have been cases where franchises, known
at the time to be valuable, have been in
Judiciously or even corruptly parted with
by the State for private gain. Jacob
Sharp's Broadway horse railway was
clearly enough such case. Perhaps the
elevated roads of New York city afford
another instance. Possibly the New Jersey
Central and the Pennsylvania Central
might be mentioned in this connection.
Bnt, in regard to the vast majority of the
ordinary steam railways of the United
States, the indisputable fact is that, at the
time they were chartered, the franchises
were not highly valuable, if indeed they
had any market value at all. In regard
were moved quite as much by public spirit
as by considerations of private interest.
Take the old Western Railroad, for exam
pie, now the larger part of the Boston and
Albany. To secure the capital for this
road public meetings were held, at one of
which, if l rightly remember, Edward
Everett presided. The citizens of Boston
and of the towns along the projected route
were urgently appealed to, as for the gen.
eral good. Every fresh subscription was
greeted with applause. On the compile
tion of the road great banquet was given
in Albany, at which Governor Seward
presided and toasted the projectors Of the
enterprise as public benefactors. Substan-
TALLY that which has been said of this
case could be said of hundreds of other
roads, little or big, which were built under
individual charters.
Nor is it true that, the railroads having
been thus built by general consent, and
having been made private property by law,
the owners and managers have used the
advantage given them to bleed the public.
The history of railroad rates in this coun-
try presents wonderful record of charges
reduced, and further reduced, and still
again reduced, until to-day goods and
passengers are carried at rates often less
than the proper cost of the service, so low
indeed as to be, in the broadest view, in
furious to the public interest. In an ad-
dress to the workingmen of Providence, in
1886, Edward Atkinson stated that in 1865
the Vanderbilt roads charged So 45 for
carrying barrel of -four from Chicago to
Boston. In 1885 the charge had been re-
duced to 6S cents. The profit to the rail-
road by the transaction was Ia cents, or
less than the value of the empty barrel.
A very large part of our railway mileage
to-day pays no dividends on stock; much
OF it does not even pay interest on the
bonds issued for its construction. 1t is
doubtful whether the present value of the
stock and bonds of all the roads in the
country equals the amount which would
be needed to build and equip the system
