An Adventurous correspo ndent

Few newspapers in the United States
are able to command the services of as
brilliant corps Of correspondents as The
Chicago Record Herald. It's choice of
Walter Wellman to represent it at
Washington is good illustration of its
wise policy of getting the best there is
to be had. Mr.. Wellman has won a
national reputation as q magnetic and
resourceful news writer And now he
is preparing to clinch his reputation for
originality and daring by trying to
reach the north pole in an sirship.
Whatever may be the results of Mr..
Wellman's daring attempt to reach the
pole this summer in an airship and send
the news of the voyage at once to The
Record Herald by wireless telegraphy,
the Wellman- Record Herald expedition
is sure to be conducted by Mr.. Wellman
with the same cool courage and whole
souled enthusiasm that have made him
an ideal newspaper correspondent.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, in 1858. At IA he began his news
paper experiences, establishing at that
age weekly paper in the little town of
Sutton, Neb. In 1884 he became the
Washington correspondent Of the Chica-
go Herald, for which paper he visited
the West Indies in 1892 and located the
landing place of Columbus, marking
the spot with q huge stone monument.
In 1894 he made his first dash for the
pole, reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he
tried the same fascinating quest again,
penetrating as far as Franz Josef Land.
On both trips he had wonderful sue
cess in discovering new islands and Sc
curing new scientific data which have
been of great value to the American
Geographical Society. His voluminous
writings for scientific periodicals and
popular magazines have shown the
same incisive thought and keen insight
that have marked his journalistic work.

With population nearly 6.GO0.OOO less
than the population OF the whole coun-
try in 1850, the wealth OF the fourteen
Southern States Is now greater than
the wealth Of the whole country al that

by the Manufacturers Record show
that the assessed property values in the
south in the year just closed were So
$4,000. These may be safely estimated
as representing true values of sl6,-

This process has continued for a long

Progress in Traffic.

During all this period OF growth in
traffic. Southern Railways expense ac-
count has shown very heavy charges
for maintenance of way and OF equin-
ment. and very high cost for conduct
ing transportation The final result of
continued excess in maintenance outIays
Is certain 10 produce lowered outlays
for conducting transportation, and that
goal ought 10 be possible of attainment
by this time. The increasing of the
train-lOad has long been impossible be-
cause the trainlOad must be kept down
TO the capacity OF the weakest portion
of the road. High wooden trestIes and
bridges and heavy grades had to be
replaced before the trains could be
heightened, and years have been alb
sorbed in the task.
The heavy cost Of operating railroad
which has but single track. and that
continually torn up by construction
trains'- has been another influence
against economical operation. And the
double tracking of certain congested
sections has helped to use up available
funds. Excessive maintenance outIays
in which are included many betterment
and reconstruction expenses, will hardly
cease for a long time TO come. but good
judges believe the modernizing has

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-As distln-
gutshed from railroads OF the North'
and this includes the Eastern section
as well as the great Northwest the
railroads that traVerse the Southern
States have been backward Tor many
years.
There are reasons for this condition
but the reasons are not half so I'M
portant. in the present temper OF in
Vestment demand. as are the facts
which indicate rapid progress now
making among the South's railroads. to-
ward the goal long since attained by
railroads of the North.
During the past week the resumption
OF active speculation in Southern Rail-
way stocks has attracted attention
anew TO the railroads of the South, but
there is no reason TO oonfine the inter
est to that railroad. Missouri, Kan
sas. and Texas has been prominent be-
cause of a new bond issue. Southern
Pacific has been in greater favor and so
have the securities of the St Louis

is worth while 10 investigate values in
so promising a field. for financial in

Southern Railway Record.
Southern Railway common stock has
had unique market record. In 1902,
shortly after the Gates coup. which
resulted in the purchase OF control OF
Louisville and Nashville, the common
stock OF Southern Railway enjoyed, IN
one short Saturdays session. the most
furious speculation ever seen on the
New York Stock Exchange. About
500, 600 shares OF the stock were traded
IN and the price advanced from S32 to
$40.
a few months later the stock adj
vanced TO $4l-25. and sirsce then has sold
as low as $lb a share. when the present
bull market began. some eighteen months
ago. Southern Railway was one OF the
most prominent stocks. advancing from
SIC 10 about $50 in few months. Never
theless this stock has since earned the
title of the dullest and least speculative
security in the market by remaining al
most stationary during the past twelve
month. Hence its recent activity and
the fact that during the past week Il
exceeded its old high record price are
generally looked upon as evidencing a
better condition OF things "a the South.
During tho period referred to- when
Southern Railways stock quotation was
VARYING in wide degree. the earnings of
the property were advancing without
variation.
