Enormous Value of Our Railways.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The 300. coo miles of main track of the
railways of the United States represent
property to the extent of $4,000 100000 or
as much as the total value of all the prop
erty in the country in 1860, the year of
Lincoln's election. Their income of over
s., 600 DOC, 600 a year is very nearly four
times the annual revenue of the United
states government. The number of men on
their rolls is 100000 an army as great
as the combined forces that Oyama and
lanievitch had in Manchuria at the time
of the peace of Portsmouth The railroads
are a vast interest Anything which would
hamper them in their legitimate activi-
ties would deal hard blow TO every Inn
portant industry in the country.

PRAISE FOR VARSITY
William A. Sutherland, Superintendent
Of the Filipino Students in the United
States, Expresses His Approval Of
the Work Accomplished by Those in
the State University.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, June 2S.-Some very fine
compliments to Iowa City and the
State University were paid by William
A. Sutherland, superintendent OF Fill
pino students in the United States. who
has been here looking after the Fill
Pine students in the State University.
Ten such students were here at the
time of his visit, six of them being in
the university, and the remaining four
being here from Anles to take summer
work, in fact 1t was arranging the
summer work that had much to do
with Mr.. Sutherand's trip.
II am more than pleased with the
school and the work the boys have
been doing here" said Mr.. Sutherland.
The place is ideal. The work is well
adapted to their needs, and the town
has just the proper atmosphere. We
have students in thirty different states.
and have 17S students altogether, scat
tered from Boston to Los Angeles In
the very best universities, but l have
found conditions nowhere more ia or
able than here in Iowa City.
The F'ilipinos are now deep in their
summer school work They are per-
mltted but four years here and must
cover lots of ground. The students
are supported by the Philippine gov
eminent instead of by the United
States as is often supposed. Mr. Suth-
erland who has headquarters at Wash
ington, d. c., is on a tour turnout the
country looking after the Filipino stu
dents in the various institutions.
