New YORK leads all other cities in the
world in the number, extent and height
of the buildings which have, with no lit
tie reason, come to be called sky scrap
ers. In fact, they have been raised to
the dignity of an important place in a
new book on New York by Mr.. King, a
prominent author of that city. He tells
us that there are $50 of these huge, tow
ering structures on Manhatten Island, of
which thirty two rise over go feet above
the pavements. Several score additional
ones rise to the height of 200 feet, and of
the new ones begun last fall, half doz-
en- are to be over twenty stories high.
But the size is not the only thing about
them that is noteworthy. The cost of
eighteen of the largest has been S63, 290,-
0OO, an average of S3,500000 One would
think that there would be trouble in
finding tenants for all these towering
buildings, but they appear to fill up as
rapidly as they can be built. What
work an able bodied earthquake would
make among these big buildings! They
are among the most wonderful of the
many remarkable things to be seen in
that great modern Babel and few sight:
are more attractive to the visitor thar
these modern specimens of the archi
tect's skill.

SENATOR LA TOILETTE, of Wisconsin,
has encountered the same experiences
that lave awaited all newcomers into
the senate, who begin to project their
views and ideas into that body before
their seats are warm. There are men
of great force in that body, and who
have been there many years, but they
resent the course Of the youngsters who
come amongst them and try to force
their views upon the body without serv-
ing a probationary term. Perhaps Sen
ator La Toilette thought that because
he had served several terms in the
house and was known to many senators,
and had also been governor, that the
customary practice of the senate would
be waived in his behalf, But he was mis-
taken. His long heralded speech was
delivered to almost empty benches. AS
the senators have been present in unus
ual numbers during the course of the
debate on the question of railroad rates,
their absence when La Toilette spoke
mis- long speech was all the more
cutting, and the Wisconsin senator fully
appreciated it's significance, while he re-
sents it in no amiable erms.-Lancas-
ter (Pa.) New Era.

Chicago Chronicle: Probably no one
will deny that the San Francisco catas-
trophe-both the earthquake and the
confagration-was greatly exaggerated.
The earthquake was the most terrible
and the confagration was probably the
most extensive and destructive in the
history of the country, and yet they were
exaggerated. The pecuniary loss was
probably the largest ever sustained by
one community, and the loss of life the
heaviest that we have ever known under
similar circumstances in this country,
and yet they were exaggerated. We were
assured that the whole city, including
the residence portion, was destroyed, but
probably two, thirds of it in area is still
standing. We were told that the loss
was $4OO,000,0O0, but it has since been
placed as low as s100,O00,0OO. We we're
told that there were 10000 lives lost, but
General Greedy now says only 277 were
lost The calamity was so vast that ap-
parently it could not be exaggerated, but
human nature was equal to the emer-
gency and made it vaster still.

The postal cards sold during 1905 re-
quired l55 freight cars to haul them from
the factory where they were made and
printed. There were 769,550,000 cards.
The quantities of stamps and postal
cards issued to postmast9rs are enor-
nous Frequently acquisitions are re-
ceived for million dollars worth at one
time. There was recently issued to the
postmaster at Chicago the largest amount
of stamps and postal cards ever furnish
ed on one order. The requisition called
for total Of At 100000 stamps of differ
ent denominations valued at 81 ,032, 900
and for 100000 postal cards valued at
$150,0O0. Where do these postal cards

The extraordinary contributions OF
the American people towards the relief
of the people of San Francisco surpass
not only all expectations, but all previ-
Gus experiences of this kind. When Chi
cago went down in fire and ashes, about
five millions Of dollars were subscribed
for her relief, and some of it came from
lands beyond the sea. The contributions
to the San Francscoans will probably
reach five times that sum, and will all be
given by our own people. True, that
was thirty-fve years ago, and we have
grown greatly in riches but it seems our
people have also grown in liberality, as
the size of their contributions SO gener-
ally attest.

THE demand for students who are
graduated from the college of engineer
ing of the University of Wisconsin is un-
usually brisk this year. Representatives
of practically all the large engineering

DAY OF THE RAILWAY PASS.

After next Tuesday no more in

The free-pass evil has outgrown

the new law are welcomed by the
great majority OF the railway man.
ayers, and will give the public a
square deal as well. Some people
are Of the opinion that the news
papers have had IA picnic" but
this idea is not generally concurred
i'll by the newspaper men, for most
of them are giving more than they
have been receiving. Most of the
publishers will be glad to get down
to the cash advertising and cash
transportation basis.
The matter of passes, however, is
only small part of the new law,
the regulation Of freight business
having been the primary object of
the bill.
1t is not expected that the meas
ure will be perfect, but it certainly
marks the beginning of a revolu-
ton in the railway business, and
proper control beats government
ownership by several lengths.

HOLLY & SWINK ROAD SOLD.

Manager Wiley informs that on
last Wednesday he sold the Holly
q Swins railway to the Santa Fe
company, it having become appar-
ent that he could make no traffic
arrangements that would admit of
il being operated profitably with
the Lamar spurs they are still
spurs in the hands of The Santa
F'e. The line will now be pushed
to completion. making Holly the
main line connection. 1t is not un-
likely that all Denver trains will
soon be going via Holly and Rocky
Ford or Swink. most likely the lat
ter because of the permanent char
acter Of the bridge near that place.
1t is unlikely that the spurs out
from Lamar and Las Animas will
be used except to haul the beet
crop and should the temporary
bridges at these points go out the
Santa Fe will undoubtedly find it
cheaper to haul these around to
the small factory at Lamar than
to build and maintain permanent
bridges at these two hazardous
points.
AS the deal was made Holly will
lose nothing. A romdhouse and
certain division headquarters will
be maintained here.
The Lamar papers have had their
little say. and it's now Holly turn
to laugh. Lamar can hear us, tho
she cannot see this side of the
graveyard. Had it not been for
the united efforts of the farmers
who originally projected the road
and the redoubtable Colonel Wiley
Lamar would not have even her
spurs of temporary character, nor
would Holly have gotten practical
ly what she went after
