A London View OF our Railroads

The London Statist in it's issue OF
Oct. 20 places before it's readers the
policy of James j. Hill in conducting
a great railway systems for the mutual
benefit OF shippers and shareholders in
the following language
The report Of the Great Northern
railway just 10 hand shows in a strik-
ing manner the policy which that
company has followed in the last
twenty years to the immense advantage
OF the states ID serves In 1881 the
average freight rate obtained by the
Great Northern was 2 81 cents. while
for the year ended June 80. 1905 the
average was only O. 799 cent This
enormous reduction in rates means
that for the last year the company re-
ceived a revenue Of x33. 900, O00 where
as, had il maintained the rate ID re-
ceived in 1881. It's freight revenue
would have been sleO. 600. 600 There
fore shippers have not only gained the
advantage arising from the provision OF
adequate transport facilities, but the
community has gained fs7, 900, 900 by
the reduction in rates In other words,
not iess than nine enths OF the ad-
vantage from the enormous growth Of
traffic and the increased skill and
economy with which il was handled
was derived by the people Of the
United States and not by holders
Against the growth Of t3i. 900. 900 in
gross earnings OF the company. there
has 10 be placed the large increase in
expense caused by the immense ex-
pansion ia the traffic. which left but q
relatively email gain in net earnings
in proportion to the growth Of traffic.
The advantage Of ts7. 600. 900 saved TO
the community by the Great Northern =
reduced rates was net gain. Com
parison such as that made by Mr. Hill
in the Great Northern report must GIL

The problem of accommodating a
large incoming class in the high
school building has been more difficult
this year to Principal w. d. Wells than
ever before. The art room has become
a class and recitation room and so
have many others that were formerly
for special purposes. Now. after many
weeks of tedious work, Mr.. Wells has
completed schedule by which the old
building viii be made to hold all the
nigh school students until the large
new building will be ready to open its
rooms TO them. Moreover. it will not
be necessary to have the pupils spend
only part of the school day at school
and the rest in study at home, as was
considered when the GriswoId building
was evacuated. The incoming class
numbering los. swelled the enrolment
from about asa to 535.
