A deed of bargain and sale from the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad Company
to the Norfolk and Southern Railway
Company, conveying all of the rolling
stock and other property to the latter
concern for a consideration Of $40, has
been filed at Norfolk, Va.
That railroad building in the United
States has reached it's maximum under
existing conditions, and that business is
growing five times as fast as the mileage,
is the latest peSsimistic view announced
by President Hill Of the Great Northern.
He says further that there is no money
to invest in railways in view of the atti-
tude of the State Legislatures and of the
national government in passing regulative
and restrictive measures.
IF the present pernicious legislation
against railroads is persisted in, and more
particularly the enforcement of the 2
c~ents-a-mile passenger rate, /, as a rail-
road president, say that it would be bet
ter to abandon all passenger trains and
close all the passenger stations in the
United States than continue the running
of them at the expense of the stockhold-
ers. The passenger business is now car
ried on at a loss, and to this, 2-cents-a-
mile legislation l attribute in no small
degree the present financial depression in
the United States" This is the language
said to nave been used by George ].
Gould, president of the Missouri Pacific
railroad and the owner of a controlling
interest in a vast number of railroads
throughout the country. Mr.. Gould has
just returned from a seven months alb
sence in Europe, where, he said, the peo-
pie were timid about investing in Ameri-
can stocks in view of the recent hostile
legislation against corporations. He said
Ihat among the reasons to which he at
fributed the late financial panic was the
terrible verdict against the Standard Oil
Company for REPEATING. He thought there
was no comparison between the railroads
of this country and those of Europe, al
though there were some pretty fair ones
in Germany.
The report of the Erie railroad for the
last fiscal year, which is now made pub
lie, is remarkable in several respects, but
chiefly in the statement that not a single
passenger out of a, 100, 723 carried was
killed during the year. At the same time
there was a reduction in the cost of OPP
Grafton and more passengers were carried,
at a less rate per mile. Wages were in
creased a million dollars in the aggregate.
In spite of the big increase in wages, the
road made a gain in net earnings of near
ly $2,OOO,OOO, the total being $16,171,-
800.

ing machines, whereby the operator can
have the full benefit of balmy breezes
while running the machine. The attach
ment is extremely simple, the fan being
piyoted on a bracket secured to the

handle OF the fan connects by rod to the
treadle. As the latter is worked up and

directing the breeze directly at the oper-

Light from Corn CObs.

1t is reported that a Cleveland chemist
has perfected a method of securing illu-
minating gas from corn cobs, stalks and
straw. The process is very similar to
that employed in manufacturing gas from
coal. The heating power of this gas is
said to be much greater than that of coal
gas, and it is believed that eventually it
as to permit of its being sold at 80 cents
per 1000 feet. Thirty per cent of the
original weight of the material remains
after the gas is extracted, and this can
be used to feed the boilers. The scien-

~ineous'' gas, or in common parlance it is
corn gas.

President to Confer with Governors
Of States and congressman.
President Roosevelt has invited the
Governors of all the States and Terri
tories to meet him at the White House
on May Is, il and Is next, to discuss
the question Of mean to conserve the
natural resources Of the country. Ia
vitations also are to be extended to
the members Of both houses Of Con-
gress and to the Inland Waterways
Commission. The Importance and man
ner in which the subject is to be con-
sidered are indicated in the Presidents
letter to the Governors. The letter
says:
Recently l declared there is no other
question now before the nation Of equal
gravity with the question of the conserva-
ton of our natural and [ added
that it is the plain duty of those of us
who, for the moment, are responsible to
take inventory of the natural resources
which have been handed down to us. to
forecast the needs of the future and so
handle the great sources of our prosperity
as not to destroy in advance all hope Of
the prosperity of our descendants.
1t is evident the abundant natural re-
sources on which the welfare Of this ma
ton rests are becoming depleted, and, in
not a few cases, are almost exhausted.
This is true Of all portions Of the United
States; it is especially true Of the longer
settled communities of the east.
The gravity Of the situation must. / be-
lieve, appeal with special force to the
Governors of the States, because of their
close relations to the people and the re-
sponsibility for the welfare Of their com
munities. l have, therefore, decided, in
accordance with the suggestion Of the in
land waterways commission. to ask the
Governors of the States and territories to
meet me at the White House On May Is,
Il and 10 to confer with the President
and with each other upon the conserva-
ton of natural resources.

ference as your assistants or advisers. I

TREES FOR CHRISTMAS.

Cutting in Maine Woods.

Cutting in Maine Woods.
The work of cutting Christmas trees
in Maine for the rest of the country
has begun. Nearly 100000 trees are
in demand annually, and in that State
the Christmas tree trade has become an
industry of the first Importance. Work
men have just begun to go into the
woods to cut them. Throughout Knox,
Lincoln and SagadahOc counties, as
well as all counties in the northern
section of the State, the work of Sc
lecting and cutting began this week.
There is an art in raising Christ
mas trees. One of the principal fea-
lures is to have them grow evenly, for
a crooked Christmas tree cannot be
given away. Therefore they must be
packed reaching up, yet far enough
apart not to be dWarfed, and this is
the secret of raising the Christmas
tree. A Christmas tree takes five years
to grow. The WoOdsman who raises
them can count upon going over the
same strip Of land once every five
wears.
