Construction Of Railroads Must
be up 10 Needs Of Our I'm
mense Commerce.
RAILROADS PROUD RECORD
Hill Stated That II ANY Man Or Corpo-
ration Sins Against the Laws Let Him
be Punished Time for the Country to
Sober Down,

Hill was the principal speaker at the
thirteenth annual dinner Of the com
mercial club in this city tonight. Hill
discussed the question Of the CONNER
cial Development Of the Mississippi
Valley" and gave comparative history
and review Of the industrial conditions
as they exist today.
He stated that transportation facili-
ties are at present unequal TO the de-
mands and said that unless they could
be made equal to the burdens they
should bear the country can not pres
|per. He declared that railroad manage
ments have used every effort to increase
the shipments and the efficiency in oper-
alton and have accomplished wonders.
The problem now is to bring the con-
struction up to the needs Of our i'm
mense commerce. The speaker noted
constant reductions in rates until now
the passenger rate averages . cents per
mile and freight IA cents per ton per
mile. The total dividends Of all rail
roads in the United States in 1906 were
but per cent. On 80 per cent OF the
roads no dividends were paid. Notwith-
standing this the railroad system is not
a failure, on the contrary it is the most
conspicuous success ever achieved in this
country. The railroad men have right
to feel proud Of their record, but peo-
ply should realize there is physical
limit to the capacity OF railroad. Hill
asserted that railroad men of this coun-
try struggled for Is years to move a
load which increases annually 10 to Is
per cent with engines whose power in,
creases about "a per cent per year. For
the whole system therefore. he declares,
We must have more new lines, more
double tracks and more facilities. One
year ago the speaker said, he stated it
would require $5,50O,00O,OOO Or $l,lOO.-
100000 per year for five years to make
railroad facilities to equal demands. AL
though the amount suggested has been
collected and spent the railroads have
been barely holding their own and the
future remains to be provided for. In
the opinion Of competent judges, more.
perhaps 50 per cent, must be spent an
nually for five years to come. Only two
reasons, scarcity Of money and reluct.
lnce to invest overshadows the outlook.
rhe most serious factor in the present |
is the shock to confidence in |

a political offense. To that end com
plete record Of the case was furnished
the Chinese government.
After many months delay finally on
October 24th the United States district
attorney was notoiied to send officers

key heating in winter is done by means
Of the SO called "mangal." This con-
sists principally of receptacle for
burning charcoal. A mangal may be
nothing else than such simple brass
or iron receptacle or may be quite an
artistic and expensive article OF most
rare and valuable workmanship. The
charcoal Is first thoroughly burned
through, and when it no longer emits
any fame or odor the mangal is
brought into the room for purposes of
heating Sometimes it happens that
proper attention is not paid to the
burning charcoal, with not infrequent
fatal results.
