of the soil changes and is in some

there and shall certainly advise our
friends to do likewise. We also trust
that this report may have the effect of

What the Track Costs.

Few persons know that on a railway
line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly
as much to renew ties ($935 900 year
ly) as is paid to station agents and
station clerks; that the annual repairs
of roadway and track (S2.35O,OOO) ex-
coed the salaries of trainmen and traf-
fic clerks; that the renewal of rails
(s626,000) costs almost as much as the
telegraph service; that watchmen and
track-walkers draw nearly as much
money ($137,000) as is paid out for
stationery and printing; that the item
of rail fastenings (s25O,O00 a year,
exceeds the expense of legal service.
But it pays to have the track just
