RAILROAD news
1884 Miles to Be Built This
Season.
Breaks All Previous Records of
the Country.
THE SOUTHWEST LEADS
As Much as All the Rest of the
States Together.
Total For u. s. May Reach 49,
900 Miles.

Advance proof sheets of the Chicago
Railway Age say: Although 1901
showed a larger new railway mileage
than any year since $780, present con-
ditions justify the prediction that 1902
will produce a still better record. No
attempt has been made to give the
grand total mileage of all the new lines,
but what makes it apparent that there
will be larger mileage built this year
than last is the fact that a careful COM
pilation based upon official reports
shows that at the present time not less
than 1884 miles of new road are al
ready under contract or actually under
constructions while there are in addi-
ton 1890 miles on which it seems prob
able that work will be undertaken this
spring or summer. These figures do
not include several hundred miles of
old grade which was completed pre-
vious to 1901. The accompanying table
of new roads under contract or con-
struction will indicate the distribution
of the new mileage-

TICKET sCALPING DEADp
Passenger Officials Claim That They
Have Conquered Brokers.

Chicago, March 22-There are indica-
lions that the general passenger agents
of the railroads of the country have
practically decided to drop their long
continued prosecutions of ticket scalp
ers on the ground that the brokerage
business is all but dead.
Chairmen of the various passenger
associations of the country will meet
in Charleston, S. c., today to decide
whether the anti-scalping bureau au-
thorized at recent meetings of the gem
eral passenger agents conventions
shall be organized or the scheme aban-
doned.
Since the abolition of commissions
for the sale of railroad tickets about
two years ago the scalpers have been
working without the cooperation of
railways and their lot has been hard
one. Few tickets now issued by trans
portation lines are legitimately scalp
able.

good deal of space in his paper, Wal
iaces' Farmer TO the Improvement of
lowe Corn. lie calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN.
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared il Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shamel, OF Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
OF photographs showing different va
r'eties Of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the moot profitable to raise. etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
docs but we miss our guess if he can
not learn lot from these articles in
Nallaces' Farmer.

that Wallaces' Farmer is one oi the
best agricultural papers that comes TO
