emphasizes the speed. the excellence

According to the st. Paul Dispatch.

pointed four years ago. has not COM
pleted its work and the legislature.
which was going TO consider and adopt
the revision. has nothing to work upon.

New Railroad Construction.

During the year 1904 the steam rail-
road mileage in the United States in.
creased over 1000 miles. an increase
greater than the total mileage i'll this
state Only Il few miles Of this increase
was in New England and the greater
part Of ii was In the Southwest which
is now developing at Il rapid rate. The
building of 1000 miles Of steam railroad
track in 1904 was n little less than the
average for the past seven years. The
great railroad building year was 1887,
when the Great Northern Railroad was
pushed toward the Pacific coast at tho
rate Of six miles Il day. building di-
minished gradually until the crash Of
1898. when the mileage Of new roads
fell off to about 28OO miles. and then it
averaged about 1000 miles Il year until
1898. Since then between 1000 and 5000
miles OF track have been constructed
each year.
III New England. the middle Atlantic
states and the central northern states
there can now be little building without
, plralelinS some existing line of trans
| portation. and the day Of building long
parallel railroad lines in this country is
over. In new England the development
| of the past dozen years has been all
| most wholly of electric lines. which
| have not only reached nearly every i'm
port;;nt town. but have paralleled main
lines Of steam railroad. Undoubtedly
the time will come when this will cease.
as the building of parallel steam lines
has stopped. Here in Maine there has
| been Il lot OF steam railroad track built
III the past dozen years, however. and
during the next few years there is
every prospect that several hundred
miles of rev track will be laid.
The CEi,ed States now has a total
railroad mileage of 2la.O00 miles. but
with the development Of the West this
is quite likely to be increased to very
large extent before the electric rail-
road boom reaches that part of the
country.

And now Massachusetts IS talking Of
Il hunting license law. To be sure. 1t
has little game left to protect. but it is
awakening to the necessity of new and
more stringent legislation in order TO
save that little. The birds and small
game have been ruthlessly slaughtered.
and now il is hoped that license law
will prevent some Of the indiscriminate
shooting which everybody owning a
gun has felt free to indulge in. or

sets wou,, mean licenses for residents
desiring to kin game. since ncn-resi-
dents going to that state for game
would hardly be numerous enough to
take into account. There are already
over 30 states having hunting license
laws and few of them are as generous
to the nonresident hunter as those OF
Maine. Several states forbid hunting
by ncn-res;dents. in others the eX-
most of them the fee is larger than is
required here. The chief kicking

company belonging to the state OF
North Carolina will be sold at public

gave another three days to the argu-

Supreme Courts estimate Of the Inn

is whether the defaul:ed debt Of a state
which IS uncollectable in private hands
may De accepted by another state as
git and collected by the latter by 4
suit at law in the United States courts.
After these three exhaustive argu-
merits the Supreme Court several
