New York, July 1.-THE cost n,
the Pacific coast extension of the Chi
eago' Milwaukee & St Paul railroad
which it is expected will be omen for
traffic July l, 1909, will be about
s5,OOO,0OO more than the company
originally estimated. This additional
cost Is due to the decision to run the
road at lower grade, over the noun
tain division, than was at first
planned. The total cost of the project
Is now put at $1,000. 900, but as
100000, 000 of preferred and com
mon stock has been issued to provide
balance for future contingencies
there will be no shortage of funds.
Notwithstanding the increased cost
The building OF the Pacific coast
extension of the st. Paul began about
two years ago. 1t Is 1880 miles long
and continues the road from the for

the average man by the laws. Like
the wild beast of the forest he said,
the savage must depend upon his own
physical ability to protect himself,
but in civilized country the law
protects man.
Judge Grace reiterated his state
ments, quoted BY the Graphic, when
he delivered his instructions to the
last grand jury. when he asserted that
the carrying of concealed weapons
was a relic of barbarism. The law
he said, "presumes that civilized men
will appeal to the law for protection
Statistics show that 10000 persons are
killed with pistols annually, with only
$50 executions, a horrible state OF
affairs in civilized country. Public
sentiment along this line should be
this evil, but the new law adds 80 days
imprisonment to the maximum fine

AS to gambling Judge Grace assert
ed that all forms OF gambling are
pernicious. 1t causes idleness and in
almost every case paupers are made
not to mention the bad example it
offers the youth of the land. Embez-
