President Advises Mrs. Cleveland of
Honor Paid Her Husbands Memory.
OYSTER BAY, n. Y. July 14.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has written a letter
TO Mrs. Grover Cleveland informing
her OF proclamation he has signed
changing the name OF the San Jacinto
National Forest to the Cleveland Ma
tional Forest In honor of the late for
mer President. The letter is as fol-
lows:
Oyster Bay. N. Y. July 10. 1905.
MY Dear Mrs. Cleveland:
1T has recently been my privilege
to sign a proclamation changing the
name OF the San Jacinto National For
est to the. Cleveland National Forest
May express to you the very great
pleasure 1t gave me to take this action
"a pleasure mingled with the keen
sense OF the loss to our country and
to our citizens In the death of Presi-
dent Cleveland. On February %. 1897,
President Cleveland signed the procia-
nation creating the San Jactnto FOR
est Reserve. in Southern California
The date, February ed, was no mere
accident. since the signature OF the
proclamation was. timed to coincide
with the birthday OF our first President.
president Cleveland was one OF the
first to recognize the need of forest
preservation. and the creation OF tho
San Jacinto and other forest reserves
with a total area OF 25.6s6,320 acres.
was one OF the results OF his foresight
in this direction. Throughout his life
he took great interest in conserving
the natural resources OF the nation:
and particularly regretted his inabil-
ity to attend the meeting OF Governors
In May, because that meeting was in
part the fruit of seed he had sown
years before. The nanE OF Grover
Cleveland Will always be prominently
identified with the movement to pro-
tect the forests OF the United States,
and it seemed to me eminently fitting
that one OF the forests which he Gre
ated should bear his name throughout
all time. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

been in this more than half century large decrease in railroad passen- ger fares, but the companies, unfor- tunately have been able to reduce the cost of human transportation but very little. On the Pennsylvania the fares averaged 2.67 cents mile in 1850 and 1.91 cents in 1907.
 But the cost of carrying a passen- ger one mile in 1850 was only 19, cents, exactly the gross sum charged last year, while in 1907 the cost was still 1.79 cents. Hence where there was a net profit of three-quarters of cent mile on every passenger fif- ty-seven years ago, there was just an eighth profit last year In other words the railroad earned net in 1907 onl, one-sixth as much per mile in pas. senger fares as it was able to do ir the crude days of its infancy.

SMALL MARGIN OF PROFIT.
Business To-day Shows the Results of
 Economies.

This is day of big things done at . small profit. The tendency of the entire business and industrial world for years has been to increase the vol tune of transactions and to decrease the margin of gain.
 Nothing could illustrate this drift toward a greater overturn in business and a. lesser net revenue than the re- suits achieved by railroads. In 1850 the Pennsylvania received ? 1-2 cents for every ton of freight that was car ried one mile. Last year the amount charged was less than three-fifths of a cent a ton. Indeed, .he sum paid by the shipper on every ton in 1907 was less than the net profit earned by the railroad fifty-seven years ago. But the net profit last year was but a lit- tie more than a fourth what it was in the first year of this company's oper- ations.
 In the carrying of freight there was been a constant battle to reduce charges for the shipper and profits for the owner of the roads There has
