INTERESTING RAILWAY STATISTICS.
The annual report of the inter state
commerce commissions is very interest,
ing and instructive in the completeness
of its railway statistics. According to
this report We now have 1853, ,403 miles of
railway, and a total mileage of tracks Of
ZIG, $50. Pennsylvania has twenty three
miles of railway for every 100 square
OF territory, while the only countries in
Europe which have an excess of ten
miles for every 100 square miles of terri
tory are Germany, with thirteen miles :;
England, with sixteen and half miles :;
France, with eleven miles: Belgium,
with twenty eight miles Holland, with
fourteen miles; Switzerland, with
twelve miles. No country in Europe,
Sweden alone excepted, has ten miles
of line for 10000 Inhabitants, while in
this country but two states have less
than ten miles railway for every 10,-
600 people.

$6,SOl per mile of line. The operating
expenses were $73l ,SS7 1913. or 81. .538 per
mile, leaving the net earnings over opera
tion 1864 s73 .502 1t is a significant fac,
that the net earnings per mile of line

A BROAD and liberal view OF the value
of good wagon roads as feeders for rail-
roads is taken by II. NJ. FLAGLER, presi-
dent of the Jacksonville, St Augustine
and Halifax River Railroad company.
He proposes, if the projectors of good
wagon roads will load and unload cars,
to haul free all material necessary for
making a wagon road that will be a
feeder to his line. Considered as an act
Of generosity this may not amount to
much, for the railroad will more than
get its money back, but it shows proper
appreciation of the usefulness of good
wagon roads Public roads that would

an ADVANCE to the railroad companies,
