GROWTH OF RAILROADS.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION PLACES PAR HALUE
AT 10 MILLIONS.

More than Three Quarters of a Billion
Dollars Paid Out Annually by the
companies In Salaries to Over a
Million Regular Employees.
The annual report Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, giving rail-
road statistics at the END Of 1904,
shows the enormous total Of 297,OI3
miles of railroad in the United
States. More recent railroad construc-
ton has brought this figure up to
more than 3UU.OOO miles. The num-
Der of railroad corporations included
in the report was 2,1U4. That the
railroads are prosperous is shown by
the fact that only 1893 miles of road
We're in the hands of receivers.
The total number of locomotives in
use was 46,743 and of cars, exclusive
of those owned by private companies,
1.I9S,000. OF these, $4,000 were in
the passenger service and 1,G92,OOO
engaged in hauling freight. Prac-
'tically all the passenger locomotives
and cars were equipped with air
brake and automatic %couplers, and
the same was true of freight locomo-
tives and a large majority of freight
cars.
The number of persons on the pay
rolls of railroads in the United
States was 1.296.OOO, with annual
wages and salaries amounting to
$S17, sos. 900.
The par value of the amount OF
railway capital was S13.213, 124,OOO, or
a capitalization of $64,265 per mile.
Six Per Cent. Dividends.
OF the total capital stock out
standing, AZ per cent. paid no
dividends. The amount of dividends
declared during the year was
S221,941, 900, OIL a little over 6 per
cent. on dividend-paying stock. The
number of passengers reported as car
ried by the railways in the year was
115,419,000. The number of tons
of freight carried was 1909, 800, 600, an
increase over the previous year Of over
five and one-half million tons.
