RAILWAY ENTERPRISE.

We are frequently called on TO
commend the great work of the
railroads as developers of the
country, says the Augusta Chron-
icle. They have, in many places,
caused the desert to blossom as the
rose, and created new and fabulous
values. True, they made wealth
for themselves, and were not actu-
ated by unselfish motives, but
nevertheless where they have made
their millions, the people of this
country have made, by such enter
prise, vastly more millions of
money than the railroads.
What wonderful things the rail.
roads have accomplished physi-
cally. Look at their engineering
feats-the domination Of high
mountains, the tunneling of hills
and cities, the conquest of marsh
trackage and their miles upon
miles of snow sheds.
Take a recent exploit. The
Union Pacific Railway company
spent 100000 to cross Salt
Lake, in Utah, on a trestle, to pay
for itself, at 4 per cent ratio to
and avoid steep grades. 1t is an
experiment and may or may not
pay. While, to pay for itself, at
a A percent ratio to the capital
involved, it must save $200,0O0
annually. no one could say posi-
lively whether this sum would be
saved or not. One directo1 of the
company said:
LAS for stating now what the
cutoff will save, that would be i'm
possible. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose, however, that a considerable
reduction will be effected. An
other consideration beyond the
possibility of figuring is the pres
tige gained by placing the system
a little further out of, reach of
competition in the valuable claim
for the shortest route to the coast.
That not only saves money in run
ming the road, but it is a wonderful
factor in attracting freight"
What would we do without these
tremendous arteries Of commerce
and trade? What unlimited OPP
portunities have they not given to
enterprlsing merchants and pas
sengers whose time is a most valu-
able asset in business in this active
generation. How many millions
of miles of desc TT they have turn
ed into productive regions. How
vastly have they added to the
comfort, as we'll as wealth, of the
country, and what wonders they
have. achieved for the glory, pros
IiafiSysand splendor of the world?
The AK. & N. Railway leading
from Marietta to Knoxville, Tenn,
and Murphy, N c., has been the
means of developing that country,
placing the vast marble deposits
in that section in reach of the
world. Without railroads the old
stage coach would be numbering
along and wagon transportation
with months delay would be in
vogue,
