thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost In the memorable

are In use, while sixty.fve Street

In 1903 the War Department In

so gratifying and the superiority
OF the illumlnant so evident that the
government, March 20, 1904. placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen Of tho
United States should have his pro

But the government has not con.

satisfied Of the efficiency, superiority

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates Is like play.

making of freight rates may mean the
ruin Of city, Of great manufactur.

munity. Railroads strive to build up
ali these SO that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi

rivalry are the railroads that In order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper %
practically dictate rates. Rate max.

OF mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads Of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in

Il may be of interest 10 call atten-
ton to the fact that in engineering, as
in other departments Of work and ac-
tivity, the things which are considered
OF the greatest magnitude AMI impor-
lance are by no means those of the
largest cost and difficulty. Thus, the
Slmplon tunnel, important as it is in
connection with the opening OF new
routes from Italy TO the North sea, is
estimated to cost about $4,000 O00, or
less than one.third Of tie cost of the
New York Rapid Transit subway.
The maximum estimated cost of the
Panama canal cut to the sea level, is
$3.50 100000 while the Vt.mates for
