RAILROAD MILEAGE.

Interstate Commerce COMMISSION
shows that II e total single-track rail-
way mileage in the United States was
ga, 363.I7 miles, or 6,262.13 miles
more than at the end of the previous
year. An increase in mileage exceed
ing 100 miles appears for Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Me-
vada. North Carolina, North Dakota,
PENNSYLVANIA, South Dakota, Ten

The operated mileage for which

of line used under trackage rights.
The aggregate length of railway mile
age, including tracks of all kinds, was
317,oS3.Io miles. This mileage was
thus classified: Single track, 222,-
34o.3 so miles, as just mentioned; sec
ond track, I7o36.25 miles; third track,
1,766.o7 miles; fourth track, 10000
miles and yard track and sidings, 49,
z6o.oI miles. These figures indicate
that there was an increase of 1885,
AZ miles in the aggregate length OF
all tracks, of which 3,SIo.24 miles, or
37.13 per cent, represented the ex-
tension of yard track and sidings.
The number of railway corpora
tions for which mileage is included
in the report was 1913 During the
year railway companies owning A.
o54.l6 miles of line were recognized,
merged, or consolidated The cor
responding figure for the year 1905
was 3,So2.o2 miles.
The report shows that for the year
ending June 80, 1905, the mileage OF
roads operated by receivers was 81
o71.43 miles, or an increase of 81
175.6I miles as compared with 1905.
The number of roads in the hands of

On June 30, 1906, there were in the
service of the carriers 5I,672 locomo-

freight, 2o,S4S, and switching, 8,4S5
The total number of cars of all
classes was I,o58,oI2, or II6,o4I more

scoring mighty close second; with
labor SO high that Jack and the Bean
Stalk were commonplace in contari-
son. The resolution remains on the re-
cords of the Salt Lake Real Estate
association, sad parody on that max
i'm of equity Jurisprudence, that "N hat
ought to be, is, what ought to be
done, has in fact been DONE"
However, there is a good deal of
building going on, Notwithstanding
the Real Estate association, though
largely in a small way There are
people who must have houses, and
they are building anyhow. So mod
crate sized homes are going up over
town increasing local taxable valu-
ations and the consumption of coal.
The southeastern part of the CITY is
being thus populated with the east
and northeast sections not far behind.
Work progresses on the Newhouse
buildings. The same is true with re-
gard to the new Union passenger sta
ton of the Gould roads while the
Short Line has been quite expeditions,
for its yards are we'll along, and ma
terial for the great station will soon
be on hand.
The street car management is forg-
ing ahead with valuable improve
ments; the latest being the grand
Union plan" at Second South and
Main streets where rapid work rs be-
ing done. The Utah Savings Bank
& Trust company has just finished
its handsome new seven story Main
Street block and tenants are moving
in. More such buildings are needed,
and until they are built avaricious
property owners will be talking high
err and higher rentals until business
men find all their profits are going to
the landlords and real estate owners.
Soon, however, it may be that pro-
perty owners will admit that tenants
have a right to live.
1t wouldn't take many such raises
in rentals as were sprung on Gala
way, Hook & Francis, Will Gray,
the Peoples Forwarding Co., and a
number of other local business hous-
es. to send some tenants out of the
city. The agent of the Brigham
Young Clayton Investment Co. is
credited with making the boast that
in the four years he had been in the
saddle he had increased the rentals
by $4,000 The temptation is very
great, when landlord sees a tenant
in corner, to sock it to him" for
all he can possibly stand; and there
are but few landlords who seem able
to resist. This is one way the Real
Estate association has of "properly
advertising Salt Lake City" and by
the ultrapoetical, unprecedented des-
criptions of this country by Judge

DODGE HOME GOING.
Landmarks Making Way for Nor
cans italian Garden.

One of the landmarks of the city. the old
William T. Dodge home in Madison avenue. is
making way for an Italian garden between the
homes Of J. Pierpont Morgan and his SON. In
the rear he will build a great gallery to house
his wonderful art objects which form one of the
greatest private collections in the country and
are surpassed by few private collections abroad
Many of Mr Morgan's art treasures have been
kept in London. and the building Of this new
gallery may mean that he has overcome his dis
taste to the heavy duty art in this country
and Is to bring them here.
Mr. Morgans own home is at Both street and
Madison avenue. Some years ago when the
results of a runaway accident caused Anson
Phelps Stokes to give up his home at 3Ith street
and Madison avenue the property was acquired
by Mr.. Morgan. and he gave it to his son.
Since then he has tried to get control OF the
entire block between the two streets ana
short time ago did so. - .ba

there will be some of the pieces OF FAMOUS

abroad. Some of the most famous pieces IN
Europe have fallen into his hands, and some
of these will be placed in the garden The gar
den will have a frontage of about seventy-fve
