ENGINEERS IN CONVENTION.
American Meeting of Maintenance of
Way Association.

Chicago March 1s.-The fifth annual
convention of the American Railway
Engineer and Maintenance of Way as
ISOLATION is being held at the Auditor
ium in the parlor which the first of
the week was the rehearsal room of
grand opera stars. Exhibits of rail-
way and engineering apparatus ami
posters announcing new departures in
construction are everywhere in evil
dence.
One OF the exhibits is of an auto
matte block system. 1t is an electric
telegraph and signal system, which, by
means of an auxiliary rail, makes it
possible for an engineer to communi-
cate with other trains and with sta
lions while his train is in motion. It
rings a gong in the cab when two
trains occupy block at the same
time.
Another exhibit is an automatic
loader of gravel and kindred material.
Track construction and water service
will be the subjects under discussion
at today's session.

Know the Value of Pyramid Pile Cure.

Gratitude alone prompts me to testi-

This remedy, which is sold by drug

that railway construction is now in
progress or under contract on some
thing like 300 lines, representing every
state and territory, excepting two or
three of the New England states, and
that this work, with comparatively
few exceptions, is being done by the
great railway companies as extensions
to existing systems. Thirty companies
might be named which now have $500
miles under construction or contract,
out of the $500 miles above summar-
lied, and almost all of the other i'm
portant systems, obeying the inevita-
bic law of growth, are joining in the
work of railway extension, which last
year added nearly $500 miles of new
road in 4S of our states and territories.
and has a much greater mileage still
in contemplation.
In the last five years comparatively
few Independently owned and operated
roads have been built in this country,
and the same tendency continues to
to be noted But the practical discon-
tinuance of railway construction by new
and financially weak companies, and
the decrease, though not the entire
elimination, of parallel road building
for speculative purposes have not
checked the healthful growth of our
railway system; on the other hand,
have made it more healthful, for roads
are now built, as rule, only where
the needs of the country and the pros
poets for eventual support seem to
justify. Meantime much money that
previous to the era of consultations
might have been wasted in building
Independent and rival roads has gone
into the improvement of existing
lines, so that both by construction and
reconstruction the established railway
companies have given the country the
full benefit of their increased strength
and prosperity, and the railway mile
age of the United States has increased
in ten years from 175,000 to nearly no.
900 miles, and is still growing.

the act of congress relating to safety APP

the water brake was such as contem-
plated by the law. The proposed legisla-

any special legislation at the hands of

CAN'T HURT ROCK ISLAND.
Officials Say They Have Not Violated
Antitrust Law.

Chicago, March 1S.-Omcials of the
Rock Island road have been discussing
among themselves the effect Of the
Northern Securities decision on rail-
road consultations generally, and es-
pecially as it relates to the recent pur-
chases by the controllers of their sys-
tenn of such lines as the Frisco, the
Eastern Illinois, the Choctaw and
other lines in the southwest.
They are of opinion that the decris-
ion cannot in any way affect their
system for the reason that the decis-
ion appears to apply only to parallel
and compelling roads. The roads own
ed or controlled by the Rock Island
are, they say, in no sense parallel OF
competing, and therefore the decision
cannot in any way be made to apply
to them.

Ioday's Railway Age says: The out

States is not as promising as it was a
year ago. There has not been COM
plete recovery from the check in new
work which followed the disturbance
in the financial world last summer.
and while a large amount of building
mas been planned, much of it is being
held up until financial conditions are
more favorable. Those companies
which had completed financial ar
Cangemehts for extensions before the
Wall street furry are proceeding with
the work as rapidly as the weather
viii permit, and with the opening Of
spring there will be much activity in
all portions of the country
In another part of this issue is pub
Hshed a list of new railroads and ex-
tensions of old roads projected and
under construction. Official informa-
ton has been received from all of the
leading roads which are known to
nave extensions under way or pro-
5ected, but many of the reports indi-
cate that plans for the current year
have not yet fully matured or that the
officials reporting are not yet prepared
10 give definite information to the
public. This makes it difficult to give
reliable forecast of the work for the
year.
Examination of the detailed list will
show that there are 6,90S miles of new
line under contract or under construc-
ton and 1850 miles more on which il
is expected to begin work during the
year The distribution of this new
work is shown in the following table:
