The most significant fact regarding
the competition of this traction system
is that it is able to maintain an aver
age speed of Is miles on hour for
freight trains, including stops and de-
livery of freight, whereas the average
freight train speed of steam roads, in
GLIDING stops, is ten miles, or even
less.
1t is said that the freight traffic of
the electric system has grown $50 per
cent in five years and that it increased
last year IS per cent over the previous
year, the passenger business showing
an INCREASE of fully II per cent. Last
year the company carried 140,000,000

Over Eight Thousand Square Miles of

WASHINGTON, May 14-While a
large share of the territory of the
United States has come under cultiva-
ton or individual ownership, the fig
ures quoted in a recent volume show
the amount of land areas still unap-
propriated and unreserved in 1908 as
754, 1895, 900 acres, of which 36S,022,000
acres were in Alaska, SLIT 900 in

are in Florida, 91s million in Louisiana
6 million in Mississippi, and 81 mil

The developed water power of the
United States is reported at 1857 900
horsepower, and the number of wheels
which it turns at 52,S27 The estimated
coal supply of the United States is put
down, from statements made before
the conservation commission and in
cluded in this volume at 3,135, 70S, 000,-
600 tons; while the output from the
mines of the United States in 1907,
the year of the largest production, was
429,000000 tons, as shown by another
table in the same volume. The avail
able irOn-ore supply of the United
States is estimated at 4,7S5,OOO,O OO

in the year 1907 was 100000 tons

TROLLEY lines ARE
NOW CARRYING Freight

Guiding the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
for such an interchange with an ex-
tensive interurban system in Illinois,
has caused great uneasiness among
other Western and Eastern lines. They
realize that in this first break of a
previously united front in opposition
to such q deal, a problem is offered
which will require their closest and
best attention. Advices from Chicago
state that a strong effort is being
made by traffic officials Of Western
RAIDS to effect a cancellation of the con-
tract at the expiration of the limit
within which tariffs may be with
drawn. Failing in this they have to
elect whether they will follow suit and
it places them in a perplexing guam
Diary.
That the competition will be form
liable and therefore cannot be lightly
considered is shown by the fact that
the interurban system in question, ac-
cording to a statement by B. R. Steph-
ems, its general traffic manager, ex-
poets to handle 100000 tons freight
during the next twelve months. Fully
seventy-five per cent of this, it is es-
timated will be interchanged with the
Rock Island and the Eastern Illinois.
Last year 100000 tons of traffic were
handled, and yielded a revenue Of
100000.
The system is better equipped now
than then, having thirty electric loco
motives, each capable of hauling a
train of 1000 tons fifty-one express
motor cors of between 10000 and co.

extiles.

The best feature of the cotton manu-
featuring business is the continued i'm
provement in export business. On all
hands export men are reporting or
ders and it Is said that many mills on
export drills and sheeting have bust
ness placed that will run them into the
next year. The effect of this revival
of export business, which has been
practically dead for a couple of years,
will sooner or later be felt in other
lines of the textile business. Even
now a number of yarn mills are in
stalling additional looms and with con
tinued growth in export business it is
believed that the entire business will
feel the beneficial effcts.
