new CzARIS WANTED

A special telegram to the Chicago
Daily News from St. Petersburg says:
From a most reliable source your
correspondent is informed that the
local reform leaders of Moscow, most
of whom hold official appointments,
have resolved that if the czar should
persist in his unyielding attitude they
will convoke national assembly and
elect another czar.
Nicholas, however, seems to appre.
ciate the gravity of the situation. His
object in selecting Washington as the
site for peace negotiations and Count
Muravieff as one of the ENJOYS was to
gain time. He hoped that in the mean
time the interior troubles would SUBJ
side and that General Linevitch, hav-
ing been reinforced, would show the
Russians in favorable light in the
field.
Events have upset the calculations.
The country is torn by revolution.
Moscow itself threatens to name pro.
vincial government.
Japan has now occupied the islands
of Sakhalin and brought the war into
Russian territory. General Hazegawa
is Fastening to invade the province of
Ussuri, and thus the Japanese ENJOYS
will have a right to demand cession
of territory.
Muravieff will now proceed to Wash
ington at once. The czar will also
leave for Moscow. He will instruct
various mayors of cities now in con-
ference there to meet him at the Illen.
sky palace, where he will declare his
readiness to yield to their requst for re-
forms and will ask fol- their support.

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale university in his book
on Railroad Tra- ~portation, is the
case of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile of the
Boston & Maine railroad before the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find mar
ket largely in Boston and the ada
cent thickly settled regions of New
England. The competition of cheap
water transportation from Maine to
all points along the New England
coast keeps railroad freight rates on
these potatoes always at very low
level.
Potatoes are also a considerable
output of the truck farms of Mich.
gan, their normal market being OBJ
tanned in and through Detroit and Chi
cago and other communities of that
region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the GUS
tomary markets and the potatoes
would have rOtted on the farms. To
help the potato growers the railroads
from Michigan made unprecedentedly
low rates on potatoes to every reach
able market, even carrying them in
large quantities to place so remote
as Boston. The AroostOOk growers
had to reduce the price on their po-
tatoes and even then. could not dis
pose of them unless the Bosten &
Maine railroad reduced it's already
low rate, which it did. BY means of
these low rates, making possible low
prices, the potato crops of both Mich
igan and Maine were finally market
ed. Everybody eats potatoes, and
that year everybody had all the pota-
toes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous
W Iue IdlIIOduS, udu luey Deou dp-
piled to the movement of all potatoes
at all times, to all places, they helped
their patrons to find markets then.
The Boston & Maine railroad suffered
a decrease in it's revenue from pota-
toes, but it enabled the Aroostook far
mers to market their crop and there
by to obtain money which they spent
for the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that if
a rate be once reduced by a rail-
road company it cannot be re-
stored through the red tape of gov
ernmental procedure. If the Michigan
railroads and the Boston & Maine rail-
road had been subjected to govern
mental limitation they would have felt
obliged to keep up their rates as do
the railroads of France and England
and Germany under governmental
limitation and let the potatoes rot

HILL ROADS MADE MONEY.
G. NJ, N. p. and Burlington Are Biz
Profit Farmers,

G. NJ, N. p. and Burlington Are Big
Profit Farmers.
The fiscal year of 19O4-5, just con.
cluded, was the greatest in the annals
of the Hill system Of railroad lines.
Profits for the Great Northern are es.
timated at IL per cent on it's stock,
Northern Pacific profits at 13 per cent
and Burlington earnings are placed at
approximately 100000 for it's joint
owners. The latter fact is given spe-
cial stress, as indicating the remark
able development of business since the
road was purchased by Mr.. Hill four
years ago. Striking results have been
attained by placing the Burlington un-
der the direction of exceptional oper-
ating talent.
The Hill system of roads has in
round figures 10000 miles of main
track. On this main track there are
outstanding little more than $780,
100000 of bonds, making $4,000 per
mile of bonded debt and a little less
than $400,000,000 of stock, being lit
tie less than $4,000 per mile of stock.
This excludes the Burlington joint As,
but includes the Burlington stock. The
whole is selling at a market value of
about $4,000 per mile. This valuation
includes iron ore lands held by the
Lake Superior company in trust for
Great Northern. The fixed charges of
the system average about $3.50 per
mile, while the net earnings are about
$1,000 per mile, or substantially three
times the fixed charges.
