Gossip of The RaiIwaymen

George MacBride. the rival of E. H.
Hartman IN railroad building. does
not, like his competitor. trust to the
judgment of engineers to locate his
railroads, but goes over the country
himself in a 40 horsepower automo-
bile.
MacBride married into the great cat
tie firm OF Miller & Lux. and as mem
ber Of that powerful organization
thought it would be easy for him to
get right Of way through one Of their
ranches. He drove in one of his autos
to rancho where Henry Miller was at
work branding calves.
Miller gazed admiringly on the gay
red automobile; then, turning to the
grinning cowboys. gave forth a deep
sigh. and said to MacBride:
TT must be nice to be rich and own
such fine automobile"
A dozen loud laughs followed the re-
mark.
MacBride jumped into the machine
and was whirled from the rancho at a
rate Of 100 miles an hour. He did not
mention right of way to the old cattle
king.
The Southern Pacific will commence
building the first 23 miles OF the line
from Mojave to a connection with the
Nevada and California railway in the
Owens river valley April 22 next The
entire length is about 12S miles and Is
to be completed in so days. The road
will be broad gauge. and in order to
make a through line from Mojave to
Hazen the road from Keeler to Tono-
pah junction will have to be standard
lied a distance OF Isl miles. The pri-
mary purpose of this line is to make
possible the construction of the Los
Angeles aqueduct. In the end. how
ever. with the broad gauging of the
Nevada and California below Tonopah
junction * will form another through
route from southern California to the
east via the Southern Pacific. From
Tonopah junction to Hazen the line Is
already broad gauge. This new line
will also be the short line to Tonopah

Our Library Buildings

The Americans may not be truly
literary people. but they pay great at
tention to the externals of literature
The new public library at New York,
the Edinburgh Dispatch says. Is enough
to make US ashamed of our British
museum. our Bodleian and our Advo-
Gates Libraries, which have only their
two or three centuries of tradition to
make them venerable. This sumptuous
storehouse of literature will cost mil
lion and a half. Hundreds of tons-uof
marble have entered into the compost
tion. The floor space will be nine acres
There will be 500 rooms on seven floors
and shelving for three millions of vol
umes extending to 63 miles linear dis
tance. Books will be delivered to the
reader by electric lifts, and the place
will be perfect engine room of labor
saving devices. The only thing lack

midas Cotton Crop

India stands next to the United
States In the amount of cotton grown
and an immense amount of raw ma
terial is annually leaving the country
without any adequate return. The
quantity of cotton seed available in
India may be approximately estimated
as follows: Indian cotton seed as
picked yields about 80 per cent lint
and 20 per cent seed. Accepting the
estimated outturn of cotton as correct.
the total stock of ginned cotton seed
available in India has in the last i've
years averaged some 1,402.0 tons. The
seed crop in 1s06-7 amounted to 1.S4O.-
402 tons; in 1866. 1.2S4,727 tons: In
1s04-5. 1.434.750 tons: in 1904, 1885,
600 tons, and in 1903-3. 1882, ,s36 tons.
Indian seed is inferior in quality. In
some respects. as compared with Egyp-
tian or American. The seed is smaller
and fuzzier and therefore more difficult
to manipulate. The percentage of oil
~ lighter and that Of hull il heavier.
