NIGHT IN THE LONE DESERT.
Beautiful as the Day-Cold Sometimes
Intense in Winter.

The nights in the desert are as
beautiful as the days, though in win
ter they are often bitterly cold. With
the assistance of a warm bed and
plenty of blankets, however, one may
sleep in the open in comfort; and only
those who have known this vast bed
room will understand how beautiful
night may be. If one turns to the east
one may stare at Mars flashing red
somewhere over Arabia, and westward
there is Jupiter blazing above the
Sahara. One looks up and up at the
expanse of star-strewn blue, and ones
mind journeys of itself into the place
of dreams before sleep has come to
conduct it thither. The dark desert
drops beneath one; the bed floats in
midair. with planets above and below
Could one but peer over the side the
earth would be seen as small and vivid
as the moon; but trance holds the
body inactive, and the eyes are fixed
upon the space above.

mountains. They can be distinguished
by their pride of bearing and by their
imperious tones and gestures, as well
as by their distinctive dress. About
their heads they wrap their gun cases
made of red cloth bespangled with sill
yer; their bare, sinewy arms are en-
twined with narrow bands of silk, and
protrude from out a coarse wooden
jelab, fitted with large hood which
falls far down over the shoulders.
Their legs also are bare and muscular;
on their feet they wear sandals of
goatskin with the hair outside, and
laced with cords of plated alta.
Across the shoulders is slung a double
pouched wallet for bullets, made of
red and yellow leather and set OFF with
silk tufts. A fiintlock gun with short
stock, but very long barrel, often
richly ornamented, completes the out
fit of these modern Ishmaelites. The
Riffs are eternal rebels, they bow to
no authority and are restrained by no
laws. Neither the armies of the sui
tan nor the cannon of European ships
have ever been able to dislodge them
from their natural strongholds, nor
crush out of them their piraticsl IN
stincts of long inheritance.

When there is moonlight there is
more to carry the eye into the region
of dreams on earth than there is in
the heavens; for the desert spreads
out around one in silver, simmer
ing haze, and no limit can be placed
to its horizons. The eye cannot tell
where the sand meets the sky, nor can
the mind know whether there is any
meeting. In the dimness of coming
sleep one wonders whether the hands
of the sky are always just out of
reach of those of the desert, whether
there is always another mile to jour
ney and always another hill to climb:
and, wondering, one drifts into I'M
consciousness. At dawn the light
brings one back to earth in time to
see the sun pass up from behind the
low hills. In contrast to the vague
night the proceeding is rapid and
businesslike. The light precedes its
monarch only by half an hour or SO,
and ere the soft coiors have been
fully appreciated the sun appears over
the rocks and filings a sharp beam into
the eyes of every living thing, so that
in a moment the camp is stirred and

Dividends to Shareholders.

Having taken a look at the railroad
business from the viewpoint of the
100000 workers. let us see how it
looks to the $4,000 owners. The rail
roads earned last year, gross, $780,
100000. The small end of the railroad
business is the passenger traffic. The
receipts from 900,O00,000 passengers
were $570,000,000. The average rate
paid was a trif1e over two cents a
mile. The figures show that the aver
age American made ten railroad trips
in the year of an average length of 81
miles, paying $3.50 for the service-so,
800 miles appears to be the average
yearly travel of the American on the
railroads. The railroads also received
more than $100,000,000 carrying mail
and express matter, mostly on pas
senger trains.
But the 100000 freight cars are the
big earners. They brought in $780,
100000 last year, 80 times as much
money as all the gold mines of the
country produced, Az times as much
money as all the gold mines Of the
world produced. Great is the Ameri-
can freight car, even if it does go
banging along on fiat wheel! 1t
earned this huge amount of money by
sheer work, for it charged only three
quarters of cent for carrying ton
of freight a mile. But even three-quar-
tiers of a cent ton runs into money
pretty fast in the big way we run our
railroads. A 50-ton car, at this average
rate, earns 371a cents mile; this is
s1S.75 a mile for a 50-car train-and
in the 3,O00-mile journey across the
country this runs up to $4,000. Big
cars and long hauls make possible the
low American freight rates.
A word as to where all the freight
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1908-12-17
distributed among the railroad work

Total wages ...................H,00 600 0e0, 600
When you look over this billion-dol-
lar pay roll you get an idea of the big
ness of railroading. Take the small
est item on the list-$28, 100000 paid
in wages to telegraphers and dispatch
ers, an army of 100000 men "at the
key" This is more money than all
the telegraph companies in the coun-
try spend in wages.
And then the item at the top of the
list-$210, 100000 in wages to shop
men. You know, perhaps, that rail
roads have shops, where they mend
broken wheels and put new paint on
cars. But did you ever know that the
railroad shops of the country employ
an army of 100000 men earning $780,
100000 a year in wages? This repair
end of the railroad business is bigger
than the business of the Steel corpora
ton itself-more men and more
wages.
The army of shopmen has big job.
In the shops of the big railroads loco
motives and cars are built as we'll as
repaired. The smaller roads buy their
equipment from the Independent build
ers, but there is no road so small but
that it has it's shops for repairing
equipment The railroads own $780,
900 cars-of which $4,000 are pas
senger cars. Made up into one train
these cars would stretch around the
earth, and to every fortieth car there
would be a locomotive, for the rail
roads have $4,000 in service. You
could carry every man, woman and
child in America in this train, allow
ing only 40 passengers to a car. It's
the business of the third of million
shopmen to keep. these two and a
quarter million cars and locomotives
in running order.
A bigger army still is that on the
track-43O,000 men, made up of $4,000
section foremen-the bosses-and 1885,
900 humble workers, the lowest paid
men in the service, averaging eight
dollars a week. But they take six dol
lars out of every 500 of railroad rev.
enue, or s15O,0O0,O0O a year. and no
small part of this money finds its way
back to "the old country" Many a
good American citizen of to-day
earned his first money in this country
as member of a track gang.
The train crews, with 100000 en-
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1908-12-17

The average yearly earnings of rail-
road workers is a little more than
5000. A ten per cent. wage advance
means only $50 for each man, but it
adds $1OOO0O,000 to the billion-dollar
pay roll-a sum equal to third of all
the profits distributed to the half mil
lion owners of the railroads in the
most prosperous year in their history.
Similarly, ten per cent. advance in
freight rates, such as is now proposed,
would add $1S0,0O0,O00 to the revenue
of the roads, or more than two per
cent. on all the outstanding $8,000,000,-
900 railroad stock. The business is so
big that fractional changes in receipts
or expenditures, if spread over the
country, produce results of astounding
proportions.
