AS a cure for rheumatism,
Chamberlain's Pain Balm is gain
ing a wide reputation. d. B.
Johnston of Richmond, Ind, has
been troubled with that ailment
since 1862. In speaking of it he

RAILROADS BUILT I'm 1899.
About 1890 Miles of Track Laid I'm
the Year-Best Record
Since 1890.

The Railway Age has made can
vass of the country in regard to the
building of new railroads during the
past year, and finds that about 1880
miles have been added in that time.
This is the greatest amount of new rail-
road that has been built in any one year
since 1890, when 5,670 miles were COM
pleted. Scarcity of labor and the great
increase in prices for rails and other
supplies is believed to have had mate
rial effect in keeping down the new
mileage, and the coming year will with
out doubt see continuation of building.
Iowa stands at the head of the list of
states in its figures for new mileage
with 5S5 miles to its credit, although
the previous ten years had seen little or
no additions made to its railroads. A
notable fact about the railroad build
ing of the year is that there his been
comparatively little building by new
companies, while number of the older
roads have made important extensions.
AS examples, the Chicago & North
western has built 357hs miles; the Chi
the Northern Pacific, 95 miles in the
United States and 30 miles in Canada;
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, 50
miles; the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, 100 miles; the Illinois Central, 100
miles; the Burlington system, 80 miles;
the Louisville & Nashville, "a miles;
the Seaboard Air Line, over 100 miles;
the Great Northern, IA miles, and the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf, 1862 miles.
During 1899 Massachusetts, had the
lowest record of new trackage, the
number of miles being ONLY 42O

The great estate of Cornelius
Vanderbilt is now rated at about
one half the value it had when
the Commodore was alive. This
shows what a great factor in val

man who made it and gives a
reason why great fortunes may
be expected to decline.
