 The new mileage of 1905 exceeds that of 1904 by over 700 miles, while the track laid during the first half of this year was 653 miles less than reported for the first six months of 1904, which facts indicate how energetic has been the work of the past six months. For good many years the southwestern states have furnished a larger percent age of new mileage than any other group, but the scene of active construc- tion operations appears to be shifting to the Northwest. With the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul headed for the Pacific coast with the new Gould line (the Western Paciflc) already under construction between Salt Lake City and San Francisco, and with the many new lines planned by the Hartman and the Hill systems, the western and northwestern states will he the scenes of bustling activity for the next few years.
 The railway mileage of the United States on January 1, 1905, according to Poor's Manual, was 212,349. miles. By adding The Railway Age figures for 1905. 1t will be seen that the mileage on January 1, 1906. will aggregate 217,- BPS miles.

The courtroom was crowded with
spectators eager to hear the evidence
Of counterfeiting against a. man al
most devoid of sight. The government
officers were ready with their testi-
mony and anxious. too, for this case
had given them more trouble than
any other in their experience.
Charles Martin, the accused, be-
sides being almost totally blind, had
been a street beggar and the detec-
tlves. although knowing full well that
many of the spurious coins had been
passed by Martin or bis children. had
believed that he had received them as
aims from some' passerby. In conse-
quence of this delusion the officers
had vainly followed clue after clue In
their endeavor TO find the guilty par
ty, and AT last, by the merest acct
dent. had discovered that the accused
was the maker OF the bogus money.
The trial proceeded with the usual
elaboration; the officers adding to
their evidence some broken molds
and bars of zinc lead and composition
metal that had been found in Martins
cellar Several shopkeepers testified
that the accused man had given them
the spurious coin in exchange for
goods. Martins lawyer. appointed by
the court. offered no defence and the
jury promptly brought in verdict of
guilty.
