and Street railway cOlApdly
he took immediate steps to-
ward making the start for an
electric line connecting the
two towns on Chequamegon
bay.
Yesterday he closed a deal
which was absolutely impor-
tant to take to make the con
struction of such a line a sue
cess, and that was the secur-
ing from Whitney Brothers
of Duluth, an option on the
trestle work of the old Peer
less logging road which runs
in shallow water at the head
of the bay for nearly two
miles in front of the Smeaton
mill property and the proper
ty Immediately west. :
In the construction of a
street railway this distance
Mr.. Appleyard states that
the important requisite is to
have speed for it is necessary
that interurban cars between
Ashland and Washburn should
make the trip inside of TWEEN
tyfve minutes. To get at
this speed would mean that
the street railway could not
follow the regular highway
for trouble might develop
from passing teams, SO Mr..
Appleyard's plans are for the
securing of a private right OF
way the entire distance
around the head of the bay.
The Peerless logging tres
tie work was sold some time
ago to Whitney Brothers of
Duluth and they were plan
ming to start work in two or
three weeks to entirely de-
molish the same by pulling
up the piling. If this was
done it would probably add on
twenty-five thousand extra
for the construction of the
track around the bay. Re-
alizing this, Mr.. Appleyard
has made diligent efforts to
close arrangements wi tn
Whitney Brothers SO they
would not tear down this
trestle work until he could
proceed with other plans and
yesterday after a personal
conference with one of the
firm he got an option on the
property for two or three
weeks time.
Besides securing this option
which would carry his pro-
posed railway clear to the
head of the bay past Fish
Greek, Mr.. Appleyard has
secured options through pro.
perty around the bay from r.

AS TO ROOM IN HEAVEN.

Some one good at figures has evoIv-
ed a mathematical proposition in refer
ence to heaven. One of the magazines
tells of it as follows:
There is still room enough in
heaven for all who are fortunate
enough to have their passports accept
ed by Saint Peter. According to the
bible heaven is a place twelve thous-
and furlongs square. Twelve thous-
and furlongs equals 100000 feet, and
this number cubed gives an area of
10000, 900 OOO, 00OOO0OOO cubic feet.
Suppose that half of this is allowed for
Gods throne and the court of heaven.
and one-half of what is left for streets.
Then there is balance of 81 900, OOO.-
COO, 600, 10000 cubic feet.
Now, instead of having heaven a
beautiful park, let it be divided into a
number of rooms of say sixteen feet
square. There are 1905 cubic feet in
a room sixteen feet square: so the
part of heaven left for the residence Of
the good will be divided by this num-
Der. whence are 1900, 600, OOO. 900. 900
rooms sixteen feet each way. Now.

ing 5000 100000 every century, and
that the world will stand for one thou
sand centuries, making in all 5000. OOO.-
100000 inhabitants; then suppose that
there were one hundred worlds equal
to this in number of inhabitants and
duration of years making a total of
500, 600, OOO, 100000 persons.

PEDESTRIANS START TRIP
Were Not Disheartened by the
Chilly Atmosphere.
GIVEN HAPPY FAREWELL.

The three Richmond boys. Richard
Holzapfel, Kenneth Harms and Elmer
Thomas, left this morning for Cincin-
natl where they will begin their tramp
to the jamestown exposition. The
boys were given happy farewell by
a number of their friends and were
enthusiastic about their trip despite
the frosty atmosphere. Each young
ster was supplied with heavy leather
shoes, corduroy pants, blue shirt,
SLOUGH hat, knapsack, canteen, army
skillet and rubber blankets. They
carried with them letters of introduce
ton to police officials enroute, from
Chief Bailey and to members of the
Masonic lodge with which the boys
parents are affiliated. The pedestrians
hope to cover the distance in five or
six weeks and will spend the summer
at the exposition.

POPULATION OF THE EARTH.

Professor Ravenstein of the Royal
Geographical society has estimated
that the fertile lands of the globe
amount TO twenty eight million square
miles, the steppes to fourteen mil
lions, and the deserts to one million.
Fixing two hundred and seven per-
sons to the square mile for fertile
lands, ten for steppes, and one for des-
erts as the greatest population that the
earth could properly nourish, the pro-
lessor arrives at the conclusion that
when the number of inhabitants reach
es about six thousand millions, the
earth will be peopled to it's full capac-
ity. At present it contains more than
one-quarter of that number
If the rate of increase shown by the
latest census statistics should be uni
formly maintained, Professor Raven
stein shows that the globe would be
fully peopled about the year 2O72.

NO PAssES-MoRE MONEY.

How much have the railroads saved
in revenue by abolishing deadheads?
Nobody knows exactly not even the
railroads. All the same, it is certain
that the passenger revenues have been
wonderfully stimulated by doing away
with passes. On the southwestern
lines. for instance, it was admitted by
Mr. Stubs that 10000 passengers
formerly rode free every year as Gland
agents" An official of the Pennsyl-
vania road admits that $4,000 trip
passes were formerly issued at Phila-
delphia every year, covering merely
the eastern division of that system
The deadheads on other lines have in
cluded thousands of politicians. most
of whom travel as much as formerly.
but are now paying fare. The last Of
fetal figures secured by the interstate
commerce commission show the pas
senger revenues of all the roads in the
United States as 472,694732
One of the most important scalpers
of the country once told the interstate
commerce commission that the dead
head and halffare business of the rail
roads, if done on a paving basis. would
add p per cent TO the passenger reve
nues. This is probably an excessive
estimate. On the other hand. Charles
Francis Adams, when president of the
Union Pacific road. said that he could
add 10 per cent to the passenger reve-
nues if he could do away with passes.
Taking the latter estimate as a basis
for calculation. the abolishing of dead
heads should add s4.726.e47 to the pas
senger revenues of American roads
If the scalper's estimate was nearer
the truth, the revenues may easily
have been increased by SIS. 900. 600 to
$40 100000. BY far the greater in
crease in railroad revenues. however. |
during the current year will be from
freishts, which are no longer affected
by rebates This gain is somewhere |
between s25. 000,0 900 and s5O, 600, 900. |
