of Investing Men.
After emphasizing the necessity for
more trackage and giving more figures
TO show that necessity Hill comes to
remedies. He says: 1.-TWO remedies
must be found The prohibitory ex-
penses now attached to enlargement
of terminals at many points, and the
absolute lack Of available space at any
price, may he met by a decentrallza-
ton of traffic. There must be more
points for export, more interior mar
kets. A fifteen-foot channel from St
Louis to New Orleans would go far,
Cner TO relieve the entire middle west
ana southwest than any other work
that could be undertaken.
"It is not by accident that railroad
building has declined to its lowest

when all other forms of activity have
been growing most rapidly. The n

WAR BEGUN AGAINST CUPID.

"Wanted-Woman about 80 or 35
years of age. with absolutely no idea
or present intention of marrying"
Thus does the Central Union Tele-
graph company register a kick,
against cupid at Newcastle. The en-
tire blame for this advertisement is
charged against love Inroads into the
force of hello" girls at the exchange
have been so frequent and persistent
that the office was almost in a state
Of disruption. During the last two
years the manager of the exchange,
John Monticue. has had his hands full
keeping a force of girls in the office
to answer calls.

TELLS WHAT THE ROADS NEED
Also the Enormous Sum That the
Supply Will Cost.


Hill then proceeds: 1.-The disparity
between the growth of traffic and the
additions to railroad mileage. and the
extension of terminals pres
ents and explains the real problem.
The best judgment of many conserva-
tive railroad men in the country Is
that an immediate addition of not less
than . per cent. per annum to the
railroad trackage of the country for.
say five years, should be made to re-
lieve the situation and put an end to
unreasonable delays in the transaction
Of business. He says that in addition
to the increase of locomotives and cars
between 1895 and 1906 leach engine
and car did much more work, trains
run faster, cars are larger, locomotives
are more powerful and methods of
handling the business have so i'm
proved as to increase the general eff
ficiency.
1T is in the great centers that the
inadequacy Of terminal facilities pre-
vents the free flow of traffic The
Great Northern Railway company has
thirty-four switch engines in use in
the Twin Cities, while only twenty
eight engines are used in hauling
freight into and out of the same. No
additions to equipment and no in
creased efficiency in operation can take
tho place of the imperatively required
new trackage and terminal facilities"
He says that in the next five years
$4,000 miles of trackage should be
built, with the necessary equipment
and terminal facilities which would
cost $4,000 per mile, and the problem
is complicated by the fact that In
many cities the area of land for ter
minal facilities is not 10 be had at any
price.
What is would cost is then stated:
1.-THE new work, then, would amount
TO $500, 900, 900 in round numbers, or a
yearly average of 81, 100000. That
is the sum which should be spent be-
fore the commerce of the country can
be moved properly. 1t is just twice
the total amount of the bonded debt
Of the United States after the close of
the civil war"
