How deep in the bowels of the earth
must one go to avoid trespassing upor
snother's property? That is a ques-
fion which an energetic Jerseyman
proposes to solve. This gentleman
owns land near the terminus of one
of the tunnels being constructed under
the Hudson river. and despite the dis
claimer Of the tunnel company sus.
poets that the bore penetrates his
ground. To settle the matter he in
tends to sink artesian wells on his
premises. He may strike water or he
rnay strike the tunnel. In the latter
case he thinks he will have case
against the tunnel company. And the
latter is of the opinion that there are
other bores than those connecting
New York and New Jersey.

says the Troy Times. It IL right that
they should be made as comfortable
a. possible. That is part of the idea
OF erecting such an amphitheater. The
structure would be still more i'm
bressive as honoring the dead at Ar
lington. And 1t would most aptly
eymbollze the reunited nation. Ar
lington itself was formerly the home
Of Gen. Robert e. Lee, the knightly
confederate commander. and in its
boil rest not only thousands OF union
dead but many who wore the gray and
who afterward served their country

ed to without regard to section or po-
lltical differences. The Arlington me-
mortal should be erected as soon az

Taking the earnings of the railroads
Of Colorado as a financial barometer
OF all lines Of business. they indicate
that more money was earned in this
state during the year 1906 than durin,
any twelve months in the life of the
Centennial state. The total earnings
of the three Colorado railroads.&c.
Denver G Rio Grande. the Colorado G
Southern and the Colorado Midland
were $33.734,349. an Increase Of S..
092, ,819 over the previous year. These
figures are as the indicator Of a steam
gauge, marking the development AMI
growth of business.
The railroads OF Colorado have
hardly oeen able to handle all the
freight traffic given them. Every car
and every locomotive owned by the
companies and every car that could be
borrowed nave been kept IN cont1nu-
GUS use. Four millions of dollars were
paid for additional equipment by the
railroads during the period named. but
regardless Of this huge expenditure
there is still a shortage OF cars and mo-
tive power The business handled by
the railroads was unprecedented.
The passenger business to and from
state points was heavier than usual
L. ia e.
to Denver increased materially.
The railroads operating In Colorado
reduced their rates during the year.
Those operating on the prairie have
made a fat one way rate Of cents a
mile. while the mountain roads charge
a rate Of cents mile. because of the
high operation expenses. The reduc
ton amounts to about cents a mile
This change in rates stimulated bust.

re"yhed the sum of 100000. OF this
amount $tI,CU0 has already been sent
hy cable to }. l.. Rodgers, American
consul, who is acting as the special
Rel Cross representative. The follow
nE is an extract from a letter re-
relEed by the state department from
Mr.. Rodgers, In which he tells of a
personal visit to the refugees camps:
The conditions are almost unseea-
bic, If not unspeakable. | only saw a
portion Of the camps at ChinSlang and

are infinitely better than those which

stances as can be CLEANED from a coun-
try already swept nearly bare.
THAT there will be great loss of

question now is how much can it be
