PROSPERITY FOR RAILROADS.
Large Orders Placed for Rails and Cars
During the Last Few Days.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 6.-Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Lane is optimistic as
to the business conditions in the United
States and predicts an era OF great PROS
perity. Mr.. Lane says that the railroads
Of the country earned more during the
year which ended June 30 last than in
any other year in their history except
the one Immediately preceding it. He
believes the election Of Taft will bring
about prosperity not only to the railroads
but to the industries Of the country. He
points particularly to the large orders
for rails and equipment given by the rail-
roads during the last few days.
Yes, am an optimist, he said to-day.
Il did not feel at the beginning Of the year
when there seemed to be a more or less
concerted movement to paint conditions
in blacker colors than really were justified,
that there was any danger Of the Wall
Street panic of last October developing
into such an industrial and financial con-
dition as obtained in 1893 and 1894, and
the good news that We have been re-
ceiving every day recently Of new cars
being ordered by the thousand and
industrial plants reopening on full time
tend to confirm my judgment that the
bad times Of last year we're but temporary
and could not last in the face Of great
crops to haul and sustained market
prices for our raw materials
1t Is cheering and very significant,
in the face Of much that has heen said.
to look over the reports Of the rail roads
for the last year IL is q fact hardly
belevable, but nevertheless true because

that the total operating revenue per mile
Of railroad for the year ended June 30.
1905, exceeds that OF any other year in
the history Of railroading In the United
States excepting the ono year immedi-
ately preceding. Let me give you the
exact figures:
sThe average operating revenue per
mile Of line per month for the 228 900 miles
Of railroad reporting to the commission
was 1904 for the fiscal year 1908 This
was less by some SOL than for the year
1907. but It was more than any preceding
year and was SIS per mile per month
dental election. < net operating revenue
of more than $500 per mile per year,
and in an election year, bears out the
statement which / made, in the early
spring that the year would not prove to
be so unfortunate one FOR the American
railroads as whole. as many lugubriouS
prophets forecast.
aWhy are the railroads ordering cars
and rails? Because they need them.
Local car shortage exists now on several
lines In the West and the Southwest,
and this condition promises to grow worse.
Arthur Hale OF the American Railway
Association, before the National Associa-
ton Of Railway Commissioners a month

matter for congratulation, but II is an
evidence that conditions are returning
