This Is a Great Country.

For several years the impression has
been qnite general that the mainland
United States had about all the steam
railroads it could use, and that no con.
siderable additions to railway mileage
we're to be expected.
OF course, it was known that rail-
way building was going on all the time,
but most people had the idea that this
was chiefly improvement and recon-
struction of existing lines rather than
new construction.
Therefore, readers not actively in
tolch with railway affairs will be some
what surprised to learn that the new
railway mileage of 1904 will be not less
than 800 miles, or about the distance
from New York to San Francisco and
back to Omaha.
New England added only 12 miles, but
use was found in the Middle states for
348 miles, and for 4S6 miles in the CEN
tral Northern states. In the Pacific
coast states 562 miles we're built, in the
gulf states east of Texas 6O2 miles, and
in the Northwestern states 683 miles.
But the largest addition. over 1,S00
miles, was made in the Southwest, now
the most rapidly developing part of
the nation, and largely in Texas which
now holds the title, First in Railway
Mileage" held by Illinois from 1860 un.
til this year.
An era Of active railway building in
our old and new Pacific possessions
would now surprise no one. In fact, it
has already begun in Alaska, and prep
arations for it are making in the Philip.
pines.
But chat the mainland United States
should this year have found occasion to
build railways equal in length to an.
other line from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from Lake Superior to the
gulf is fact that to many will seem tc
require explanation.
The explanation is simply that this il
great country. much greater thar
millions of its citizens readily compre
hend, and needs 1900 more miles O
. railway in one year because it is grea

NEW YORK. July 2S.-After figuring
four months upon the value of the
varied properties OF the estate OF the
late William c. Whitney in an effort
TO ascertain how much inheritance tax
should be levied for the State, Charles
r Lewis treasurer OF Nassau county
has reported 10 the surrogate OF that
county that the Inheritance tax to be
paid Is SD. 222S4. after deducting ST.,
1888. which is a rebate because the
tax was paid within six months after
the death OF Mr. Whitney.
Taxable Property.
The schedule. which covers several
hundred folios. shows that the total
amount Of taxable property in this
State belonging TO Mr.. Whitney at the
time OF his death is estimated TO be
worth 81, 24S. 1O1.

the estate and upon whose shoulders
will rest the burden of managing these
