ausuration Of the President. and at cost
far greater than they would have been
justified in mourning IL they had dealt
with the matter from a lure.y business
standpoint and with the view of providing
for actual traffic needs. In the concep-
e on of their plans 1t must be admitted
that the railroads have done their part in
aiding the government in identifying the
city. and to summarily impose additional
burdens upon them never contemplated in
the original scheme would certainly be
most unjust
In summing up the objections toward the
Identification Of the railroads Mr.. Rea
named the following reasons:
The greatly increased and unwarranted
cost to the railroads of such a change. as
arrangements are completed for steam
service.
The prohfbitory rental which such In
creased cost would make 1t necessary to
charge the various railroads using the
terminal.
THAT such station and yards will re-
quire an outlay by the railroad compa-
MES OF about $25, COO 600, and no additional
burden should be imposed
What the Statements Indicated.
These statements are regarded by men
who are surprised at the attempt of the
railroad to launch the terminal company
as an Independent concern as clearly tn
dicating that they proposed themselves to
take the burden Of that station, and that
they believed their generosity toward the
nation In identifying the capital should
call forth public applause. It Is pointed
out that II the terminal company was an
Independent concern, which the railroads
were merely financing. this language Of
the officials of the two great companies
launching the enterprise meant nothing

The Jungfrau. Railroad.

The great Simplon tunnel having
been finished, attention returns to the
audacious enterprise of building a
tunnel to the summit of the Jung
frau. This tunnel is steadily pro-
crossing. although two or three years
may elapse before 1t is completed.
Already, however, 1t has become a
scenic wonder. Last July the first
electric train was run to the fourth
station in the tunnel, that of the Els
meer, at an elevation of 1O,36s feet.
The height of the Jungfrau is 1868
feet. Two more stations are to be
constructed before the summit is
reached. At each station an opening,
like gigantic window, is made in the
mountain side; and from these lofty
outlooks the most extraordinary
views are obtained. The stations
have been so located that no two
views are alike, and the sensational
element increases with the height.

one out of forty.
The contrast with conditions in

For the last three years the Lon
