Jacobson will make the try.
Which leads to the conclusion that

GREAT GROWTH
OF THE WEST
NIncty-fhc Per Cent Of Enormous To-
tai OF Traffic Carried by Western
Roads Originate In Their Own Ter
rf"r. conditions Most AStoundinp

New York. June 3.-In connection
with the thirty-ninth anniversary of
Fhe completion of the first Pacific
railroad, which occurred a few DAYS
ago attention is called by writer in
the June Appleton's to the fact that
when these roads We're projected the
ground on which they were urged
aslue from their Importance as a mil
ltarE necessity, was that they would
aHofd an outlet for reaching oriental
trade. Il was held by those who ad-
Socaled the building Of the roads that
the% would give a great Incentive 20
the sale OF American products in China
and japan. Apparently nobody. at
least among the members Of congress.
who discussed the matter at great
length, gave much thought to the
question Of local business that the
ROADS would obtain from the territory
through which they ran. In fact, the
enormous bounties and land grants
given 20 these early lines We're bestoW-
ed with the idea that they would have
alnost nothing to depend on in the
way Of local freight.
In view OF this early attitude, il is
almost lau@hable to reflect that OF
j the enormous total Of traffic carried
by the various western roads, 81 per
cent originates directly in their terri
tory. While American trade with the
Ofient has expanded tremendously. the
early dreams Of commercial greatness
derived from this source have been
surpassed by a far more wonderful
dream realized right at home. Still
the promoters of the Pacific lines are
not to be blamed for failing to realize
what Was III store for these roads and
Tor the great empire they have helped
to develop, for in 1860 the total freight
movement westward from the Missouri
river into the Santa Fee district was
$4,000 tons, and there was no east
ward movement at all It was hardly
to be foreseen that these figures would
be multiplied nearly a million times in
little more than forty years As the
Appleton article points out, this as
founding growth has revolutionized
the methods Of railroad construction in
the West. The newer Western lines
are being built for the business in the
territory they traverse, to develop
sections without transportation and to
affor facilities for the rapidly grow
ing tonnage Of the Poetic coast states,
which the existing roads have been
unable to handle

THE NEGRO REPUBLIC.
Sends Delegates From Africa TO
WASHINGTON for Aid.

MISUNDERSTANDING Root has
made an appointment to receive a
delegation representing the Republic
of Liberia, which has come from the
west coast of Africa to ask counsel
and aid in the many troubles which
have continuously beset the effort
to colonize the freed slaves Of Amer
lea, which began the latter part OF
the eighteenth century. 1t is ad-
mitted officially that Liberia is, from
the standpoint of nations, in practi-
cally a helpless and hopeless condi-
ton. Her latest tribulation is in
effect an ultimatum from England
to maintain a better government.
Although the United States is vir-
tually responsible for the existence
of Liberia, diplomatic history shows
that this government has hesitated to
stand sponsor for the little republic
before the world.

Manchester, N. H-That railroads

the republic itself, was the statement
of Henry Clews, the New York fnan-
eier, in an address on "The National
Corporation Problem" at the ban
quet of the Economy Club here.
"It may surprise some to learn,
said Mr.. Clews, "that the great pow
err concentrated in the president Is
hands by congress has made the great
corporations, including the railway
companies and banking institutions,
ambitious and eager to control the
Federal government itself, and they
are resolutely working to control it
as far as they can by the force Of
capital, but as unobtrusively as pos
sible.
