Washington, D. c., July IA. A
Special report Of the census bureau
shows that 1,750,17S children in the
United States are compelled to work
for their living They form more than
per cent of the total number Of
workers and the boys outnumber the
girls almost three to one, the figures
being 1,364,411 boys and 4S5,767 girls.
That the American nation is not
made up entirely of workers is shown
by the total, 29,073,233 which is only
one-half of the population Of 10 years
of age and over and about two-flfths
of the entire population. Still, the
proportion of workers has increased
almost per cent over the former sta

Foreign Born Decrease.
In spite of the constantly increasing
immigration the proportion of foreign
born in the working population has
not increased.

MORE DOUBLE TRACK.
The Burlington Will Extend Improve
ments Further West.

Chicago, ILL.,, July Ii. - 1t is stated
that after the summer tourist travel
shall have been handled there will be
some lively figuring On the part of
officers of the interested roads over
faster time between Chicago and Den
yer. The recent moves on the part of
two of the roads to make better con-
nections and consequently better time,
his stirred competitors to point
where figuring on reduced schedules
is on in earnest. BY November the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road will have finished it's second track
from Creston, Iowa, to Pacific Junction
on the Missouri river. This will give
the Burlington double track line be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river.
Not only will the line be double track,
but it will be one of the straightest
in the west. General Manager Delano
said today that he expected the double
track to be finished by the time snow
flies This will place the Burlington
far as double tracking is concerned.
In the matter of time the Burling-
ton and Northwestern are but ten mir
utes apart on their schedules between
Chicago and Denver. The former
makes the run in twenty-five hours and
fifty minutes, and the latter in twenty
six hours. The Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific is two hours behind the
others on Chicago-Denver time, but
lit is nearly three hours faster than
either betweeAn Chicago and Colorado
