This is one of Mr.. Whyte's methods

of this is $4,000. The money is to

price of fancy, square meal. The
rails alone will cost the price of
two battleships, yet when Uncle
Sam spends that much we notice it..
Each rail costs about $12, the aver
age American house rent for a
month, according to sociologists.
The spikes which some industrious
tramp might pull from the ties
along a mile stretch would keep
him happy for year, for they are
worth $240, a cent and half
apiece.
The laying of the rails, which
alone costs 1915 per mile, is only
like putting frosting on cake.

y Mayor Moore is busy finishing
the~-worS of going over the esti-

view, of submitting his recommen.
datigns to the city council at a
meeting of the committee of the
whole tomorrow night. He has
prepared no figures for publication

The city council will take up the
figures as submitted by the mayor
and may conclude to adopt his
recommendation as whole or go
into detailed consideration and
revision of the estimates, as has
been the custom in the past. If
this is done it may require two or
three meetings before the work is
finally completed and the tax levy

fortune. He replied with brutal
frankness, Il steal from genera
tons yet unborn" The great forest
fires could say the same thing IL
they could speak.
But the greatest loss from forest
fires is to be found in the effect on
the streams of the country.
The carpet of leaves is destroyed
and the water comes down in
spring freshets instead of being re-
tanned in the soil and being fed
regularly to the streams as it per-
colates from the soil. Streams from
watersheds forested well flow more
regularly in and out of season and
for a longer period during the year
than streams from mountains
which have been denuded through
fires.
The United States reclamation
service is now spending $3.50, 900 in
the Orland irrigation project and
other projects of like Importance
and nearly all this money is re-
quired to erect reservoirs on
streams once regular in their flow,
but now sporadic.
The immense quantities of sill
! washed down in the spring fresh

streams once navigable until now
they are either unfit for navigation
or, if rendered so, it can only be
done by the expenditure of vast

the farmers are being compelled
more and more to depend on tha

This explains why the interests"
are not concerned with the proven

est fires are burning the monopO-
lies in the lumber, power, water
and transportation can actually
count the money rolling into their
Golfers.
The people cannot look to the
big monied powers for aid. They
must work out their own salvation.

nine years, and then, in 1899, was
made president of the road, with
the control under single manage
ment of the largest railway mileage
in the world.
The success of his administration
marked him as the man to pay out
the ST. 100000. He will spend it in
the construction of an addition to
the st. Paul system extending from
Evarts, S. d., to Seattle, distance
of 1875 miles. The steepest grades
will be 90 or 116 feet to the mile.
The grades of the Great Northern

will cost more than the Northern
Pacific, and the raising of the huge

Special Correspondence to The Press
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 5.-Re-
Gently modest item went the
rounds to the effect that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
road had arranged to raise ST.
100000. The answer to the question
as to it's use is that it will pay for
the company's western extension.
The answer to the more interesting
query as to the mental giant
charged with the expenditure of
such vast sum is that the man on
the job is A. j. Earring, president
of the company.
He Is one of the big men in the
railroad world, and is equipped by
his ability and long experience to
carry through just such an under
taking as the spending of $77,-
000,00 without waste. He has the
power of judgment to map out the
general plans of the project and
the organizing ability to have the
work done in good order. His his
tory Is a simple record of conscien-
tious devotion to duty that led him
from one step after another to the
top of ladder.
Earring was born in Wisconsin 50
years ago. At Is years of age he
entered the service of the c., M. &
st. p. as telegraph operator. In
nine years he had risen to the posi-
ton of division superintendent,
having meantime served as dis
