the civil staff. But he never came
near wiping out the enormous annual
deficit.
His only attempt at increasing
the revenue-by raising the charges
both for passenger and for freight
traffic was disastrous.
At leading railroad centers the
passenger tickets have been forged
by the thousand, in collision gener-
ally with the senior railway staff,
the parties to the fraud dividing the
profits among themselves. Some
have pocketed as much as 100000
in the last year.
Even greater losses have come to
the department from the practice of
traders making bargains with men,
bers of the traffic department to have
their consignment of goods deliver
ed by a certain date, in return for
gift. Their frauds have become known
only through the disappointed trad
ers denouncing them.
They brought in the first inspec-
tor of prisons, for that is Mr.. Rouk-
hlOff's old Office, to restore honesty
and order in the state railways. Mr..
Roukhloff is reputed to be a demon
for statistics, and for verifying the
contents of reports submitted to him.

RAILWAYS Of RUS
STA IN BAD SHAPE
WARS AND STRIKES HAVE
WORKED A GREAT LOSS-EF.
FORTS TO INDUCE FOREIGN
CAPITAL TO BUILD LINES.

st. Petersburg, March ia new
minister of Russian imperial rail-
roads, Sergius Roukloff, takes Office
this week To foreigners who hope
to do business with Russia it is an
important event; to American rail-
road men the chapter of negotiations
that preceded the appointment
should furnish as much establishment
as instruction.
Roukhloff comes into power at
a moment when the Russian govern
ment is pushing the policy of grant
ing to private capitalists tho night Of
constructing branch lines in prumis-
ing industrial regions that connect
with the main state owned system.
The purpose of bringing in private
capital to cooperate in a state en-
terprise is to put money into circu-
1ation in Russia more freely than
can be done by government loan op-
erations.
Under Russia's present system of
railroad rates North American wheat
can be imported into Baltic ports at
a freight charge. of ten kopecks Give
cents) a poto or 40 Russian pounds.
The corresponding charge of bring
ing wheat from Russian Siberia or
South Russia to the Baltic provinces
is from 40 kepocks to SO kopecks a
pool Rail carriage is so unsatisfac-
tory, owing to both the expense and
the delay, that much of the South
Russian wheat required yearly to
make up the shortage in the North
is carried by ship from Odessa and
Rostoff-on-Don through Turkish wa
tiers to the Mediterranean and so
round by the Atlantic and North Sea,
making a journey ten times longer
than the overland distance. Siberia
is a very good wheat growing coun-
try, but the railroad transit is so
hopelessly inadequate that the grain
turns half rotten on the cars, owing
to the time that it is on the journey.
AS an independent department, the
administration of state railways has
always suffered through having to
give right of way to all military and
governmental traffic. 1t has never
recovered from the Manchurian cam
paign, when the trans-Siberian road
and the systems feeding it became
exclusively strategic lines, and from
the disorganization following the
general railroad strike.
Gen. Schaufus, the outgoing min
lister, was brought in. to cope with
the situation arising from the revolt
of 1904. He was expected to fur
nish a corps of military engineers

TAFT PLANS To
TRAVEL MUCH

Washington, D. c., March ID
That $4,000 travelling expense &C
count which Congress declined to
grant the president this year, in view
of the increase in salary, would have
come in quite handy on the extensive
tour of the country that President
Taft has inmind. Yesterday he let it
be known that it was his purpose to
get out among the people of the Far
West and South.
Senators Smoot and Sutherland
visited the president yesterday on be-
half of the state of Utah and the ex-
ecutive committee charged with the
entertainment of the Grand Army of
the Republic, a warm invitation to
attend the next annual encampment,
which will be held in Salt Lake City
from August 9 to IA. The presi-
dent was not able to give definite
promise that he would attend, but he
made it plain that, if his present pro-
gram for the summer were carried
out, he probably would accept this
invitation
May Visit Exposition.
If Congress adjourns at a reason
ri lot &c 20
the president to spend much of the
summer and the late fall in travelling
about the country. He is particular
ly anxious to visit the Pacific coast
states and to take run up into
Alaska, which is the only territory
the president has not visited. His
coast trip probably would be con-
cIudei with a visit to the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle,
which will be held from June until
October, although that exposition
would be we'll under way before the
president got there. President Taft
wants to visit Denver, and his itin-
erary, no doubt, will be so arranged
as to include not only the Colorado
capital, but Salt Lake City and the
Grand Army of the Republic en-
campment.
1t will be remembered that while
in Augusta Mr.. Taft gave notice OF
his intention to make friendly inva-
sion of the south. The hospitality
with which he was received at Hot
Springs, Augusta, Atlanta, and 9TH
er southern cities, persuaded him
that he should see more of that re-
gion. His schedule of travel will in
clude an extensive trip through ev-
Texas, which, alone, will involve quite,
railroad journey. The president
probably will reach this part of his
schedule late in September or early
in October.
1t is his expressed purpose to
spend as much of his time as is con-
sistent with his public duties in go
ing about the country and meeting
the people personally. studying their
ideas and finding out what it is they
believe should be done to improve
the administration OF the affairs OF
the government OF these United
States.

Grafton of the question the commissioners
informed him that the county would re-
quire of the company the free use of four
telephones. and free service over all long
distance lines to points within a radius OF
forty miles. In addition to this, the COM
n1issioneTs propose to reserve the right to
prohibit the erecting of a pole line on any

has already been placed. and TO require
the company TO place any or all Of its
wires in an underground conduit at any

attorney and tn. companv's repre- Sent9-

Pennington. Feb 16-The county COM
missioners yesterday had before them a
large delegation of Clarified citizens
who are interested an the establishment
and opening of a road that will connect
the State road with the Salt Lake q Og-
den Railway company's line. The matter
is a very important one to the residents
of C1earfield for the reason that the To-
cation of this road will probably have
much to do with the forming of a nucleus
for town in that rapidly growing dis
trict I'd to the present no definite cen

that a business and resident district will
