the approach OF higher freight rates
accelerated shipment Of goods. Trans
portation facilities continue utterly in

verting rolling stock from other classes

come effective, largely enhancing the
purchasing power Of the people.
The now year opens with every pros
pect OF exceptional activity ia all
branches Of business Railway earnings
thus far available for December show
a gain of ~ per cent over 1901, and
1913 over 1900. while for the run year
there are increases of Al and 1913 per
cent, respectively, Notwithstanding the
heavy loss OF coal traffic. The declines
in clearlngs FOR the last week are not
actually as unsatisfactory as the per-
Cenlage would suggest owing TO the
fact that last years figures include one
day of January, and those Of two years
ago embrace two days In January,
when payments are abnOrmally heavy.

ion that the reclamation OF the aria

ton OF the 100, 100000 acres Of plains

be exhausted within that period. Even
under good forestry practice the pres,

be supplied only for n limited time. i.
In paper on the economic value OF
the remaining public lands, j. d.

Of public lands should be sold for cash
or its equivalent Residence and cul-
tIvatlon should be required before II

against the free disposal of the pubic
