No announcement has been made,
but it is said that the railway commits

the accident was due to defect in the

our tables, just g they stand. show
an increase for the twelve months Of
s224 1902, 452. The totals are CT huge
proportions, the aggregate for 1906 be-
ing S2,131, 100000 and for 1905 $780,
244,247 And yet this does not cover
absolutely the whole railroad system
Of the country. Tho mileage repre-
sented, embracing all the roads in the
country from which he have been able
to procure returns, IS 186.687 miles.
AS there We're probably about 100000
to 215,000 miles of road in operation
during the twelve months, this leaves
$4,000 to 10000 miles unrepres ented in
our tables. The earnings for much Of
this mileage it will not be possible to
get at all for the calender year. and
the returns for the rest will net be
available for some time to come. We
should Judge that If we could get re-
/ suits to cover the whole railroad sys-
tenn of the country the increase for the
twelve months would be ia the neigh
borhocd Of s24O GOO 600, Of which S135.-

months and s1O5 100000 in the last six

Let the reader ponder well what such
an addition-almost quarter Of g
thousand million dollars-means. Let
him recall further that in 1905 we put
the increase for the full mileage al
$3.50, 900, 600 and that in the same way
we estimated the increase for 1904 al
$4,000 600 Furthermore. that pre-

Most Important Testimony So Far Giv-

Wallace, Ida. Feb. 19.-The feature
of the day in the Steven Adams trial
was the evidence Of Archie Phillips.
He testified that Tyler had told him
of threats made by Adams and Jack
Sinpkins, but was not allowed to state
the nature Of these threats, objection
being lodged by the defense on the
ground that he did not know them OF
his own knowledge. Phillips stated
how on one occasion he saw Adams
and Simpkins coming up the trail to-
wards Tylers cabin. Adams, armed
with q Winchester, stopped 100 yards
from the cabin, and Simpkins. who car
ried no weapon in his hands, went
about 100 yards past the house.
Tyler and Phillips sat on log in
front Of the cabin, and soon bullets
began to whistle past their ears, IN
pleasantly close. They got up and went
into the cabin. Ten shots were fired,
four from up the creek where Simp-
kins had gone and from a revolver, and
six from where he saw Adams last,
