President Charles P. Clark OF the
great New York ard New Haven rail-
road system has resigned, owing to poor
health, and there has been much talk as
his probat successor. Mr. Cltr6 has
dev, ped and brought the system to q
high degree OF perfection. His admin
istr alton of this property extends over
some Is years. When he succeeded to
the presidency Of the road 1t consisted Of
q line from New York to Springfield and
BASED extensions on the Connecticut
shore and TO Willimantic-in all 265 miles
of operated line. His resignation hardly
more than dozen years later finds the
property expanded into q great railway
system of over 1000 miles of operated
line. Where before it had no entrance
into Boston, it now has three entrances,
and where before 1t was confined closely
to a few points in Connecticut, aside
from Springfield, it now touches Provi-
dence, Worcester, Northampton, Pitts
tield-monopOlizing practically the
whole New England territory south OF
the Boston and Albany, and controlling
all direct lines Of communication, by
land and water, between New England
and New York. A great undertaking
under his direction was the planning
and building Of the immense new termi-
nal station In Boston. Az planne st the
outset the estimate Of required expendi-
ture by Boston and the roads was about
90, 00O, 600. The actual coat will be near
$40, OO0,0 900, OF which the roads making
up the terminal company will contribute
about 5000, 600. Bet they will be
able, on the other hand, to offset much
OF this lIss by gains from the sale Of old
station lands. Thus the value of the
Park square and Columbus avenue ter.
minal property Of the Old Colony
division Of the New Haven system
which will soon be sold, is placed at from
90, OOO, 900 to $1l, 900, 900. The Boston
and Albany will recover large sums from
the disposal Of some Of It's vacated prop
erty about the old station, and the New
York and New England branch Of tht
New haven system has already sold OLE
terminal lands, not needed now, to tn
amount Of 81, SOC, 900.

The Editors 7 able

One of the best things we have seen
for some time about New England
abandoned farms appeared the other day
in a bright Massachusetts, paper, the
Amherst Record. Somebody ought to
send Secretary Wilson marked copy of
the same. We entirely agree with the
Massachusetts, editor in what he says.
Hsr9 is the quotation referred to: ave
learn with interest, not unmixed with q
slight degree OF apprehensi, n, that Sec
rotary Wilson OF the United States De-
partment of Agriculture proposes TO ap-
point a commissioner to visit New Eng
md and collect a variety of information
concerning the abandoned farms that are
popularity supposed to abound in that
section. Some few yet ~ since the state
authorities of Massachusetts feeling
greatly concerned over the large number
OF abandoned farms located within their
jurisdiction took occasion at considerable
expense to make q descriptive catalogue
of these farms and endeavor to secure
purchasers for them. Much to their
SURF rise they found that the owners of
most of this abandoned" property held
it at q good stiff price and were unwi l.
ing to sell save at their own figures. The
chances are that Secretary Wilson's COM
mission will find that similar state of
affairs exists In other parts of New Eng-
land, and that while some farming land
mr. bought at a comparatively low
price there is little that its owners are
prepsredto give away. The abandon
ed" farms In New England are not suf.
fcientlV numerous or valuable to de-
mAnd any copsiderable expenditure of
time, money or fort on the part of the
United States Department Of Agricul
ture."
