NEW TRACK LAID.
Washington Heads the List for
the Nine Months.
MODERATE INCREASE IN MILEAGE
Over $500 Miles Laid In the United
6tates-Grest Northern Stage
Line Connections.

The returns of track laid in the United
States in the nine months ending Septem-
Der 80, which were published in the Rad
spdy Age of that date, show Washington to
head the list in the matter of mileage.
The following is the Raii.roy Ages sum-
mary Of the construction work:
Our returns show that during the nine
months from January ] TO September 20, 2.5io
miles of main track have been laid on 20 differ
ent lines in the United States, while la-ge
amount of grazing has been done on which the
rails are yet 70 go down. Thee are In sight
over 15o0 miles of road on which track Ia ex-
pected TO be laid before the end OF the
year, 20 that we feel safe in repeating
the estimate made three months ago that
the trackiaying OF 1892 will aggregate
not far from 400 miles. OF course II the win
ter should set In very early and severely it may
put stop TO some work now nearing compile
ton. but October and November are q good sea-
son for railroad building, and many hundreds
OF miles OF track will be added during those
months, under any contingency. Since the
statement for July there have Deen l,l40 miles
added-smost as much as were reported for the
previous six months. Our New York contem-
porary who In June last doubted il the total for
1892 would reach 1000 miles evidently lacked
both faith and knowledge. The following ta-
Bile summarizes our returns thus far.
The table by states and territories in the
order of track laid is:

STAGE LINE CONNECTIONS.


Great Northern Arranging to Reach
Out Into the Country.
Rock ISLAND, WASH, Oct. 1.-Stage COM
panies have been requested by Great
Northern railroad officials to submit pro-
posals for passenger and express service
between Rock Island and important
points of the line of the road, including
Waterviile and Eilensburg; and, until
the road is ready for operation west of the
Columbia river, to accommodate the travel
and traffic for Wenatchee, Icicle and other
points along the line to the summit Of the
Cascades. Passengers from Spokane and
eastern points will be ticketed through to
any Of the points designated. with coupons
for the stage lines. This will afford the
people of Waterville railroad connection
at Rock Island at distance of twenty
two miles in five hours instead of twenty
four hours. as at present, from the Gen.
trail Washington, a branch of the North
ern Pacific. at Coulee City. Parties from
Eastern points, destined for Ellensburg
or the Sound, may by this ar
rangemcnt come directly through
over the Great Northern to the Columbia
river at Rock Island, cross to Ellensburg,
forty-two miles by stage, and there con-
meet with the Northern Pacific The dis
tance from Spokane to Ellensburg, over
the Northern Pacific, is 272 miles, and
from Spokane to Rock Island, by the
Great Northern. 1877 miles. 1t is readily
seen from this that the Great Northern
can afford to offer inducements to pas
sepgers to travel by this route. and also
that its management is already reaching
out for all the business that can be secured
in the country traversed by that line.
Ten car loads of timbers for replacing
the approach 20 the Great Northern bridge
At Moses coulee, east of Rock Island,
which was destroyed in the recent gale,
were procured at Spokane and forwarded

ton. Mr.. Coykendall, states that the track

would have been il the accident had not
occurred. All authorities agree that the

Rock ISLAND. Oct. i.-While here today
President Hill, OF the Grea, Northern rail-

has acquired large interests in land here.
He stated incidentally that arrangements
will surely be made to accommodate the
travel ana trathc for ali points OF the line
