portion as traffic, Nevertheless, II is
quite evident that the development, OF
railroad facilities during the last few
years has not kept pace with the
country'S demands. This Is demon
strated by the serious congestion of
traffic in all parts of the country in
spite OF extreme exartions by the
railroads 10 over come present cOndI-
lions, Our railroads have recently
spent vast sums for improvements
and terminal facilities, They have also
been practically reconstructed as to
road bed and rolling stock. 1t seems
quite certain therefore, that a very
considerable expansion Of mileage
must be expected until our traffic
system is brought up to public re-
Guirements. This means continued ac
tiyity in one of our leading industries
that of iron and steel. The develop
ment of electricity as a motive power
is also creating large demand for
| iron and copper. What the effect OF
the continued heavy production of
gold. likely TO be greatly augmented,
will be remains TO be seen. There is
already much imitation in both Sc
Guilty and commodity values, and the
increased production of gold will tend
to accelerate rather than retard this
tendency
