State Railways Of Austria

Consul General W. A. Rublee OF VI
emma furnishes the following informa-
tion concerning the extension and
workings of the Austrian state rail-
ways:
The operation Of the state railways
in 1906 resulted in a dehcit OF $4,000. 600
crowns (S16,849000). Even taking the
factor into account that the state was
forced to assume the ownership OF lines
that were worked at a loss, besides
being obliged to construct railways
that were mainly valuable from strate-
Blcal point or view, a considerable part
'or the dehcit still remains to be ac-
counted for. There is no doubt that
this is due to the policy Of granting. in
some cases, minimum rates below the
actual cost or operation, with the OBJ
Jecl OF fostering certain indus tries A
striking instance of this is the freight
rates granted for sugar. The Austrian
beet sugar industry owes it's import
which amounts to three -fourths OF the
entire output. This export of sllerar IL
only rendered possible BY these Reduced
rates. both on the part Of the state and
the Austrian Lloyd steamship cOnDanv
In 1895 the extension OF the state
railway system had already assumed
such proportions that a railway minis
try was called into being to deal with
the complicated questions that had
arisen in connection with the vast un-
dertakfng.
The acquisitions of the present var

is confidently expected that the addition
OF these lines will not only result in
referred TO, but will bring handsone
returns on the money invested by the
state.
The system OF state railways AT TIA
end OF 1907 had a mileage OF e390
miles, which will now be increased Nv
the lines just taken over by 1852 miles
making a total OF 1922 miles Thc

a mileage of about 1000.

not stated.
1t is believed that the ST. Paul will
extend it's Platte line to a junction
with its Pacific coast line in eastern
Montana. probably in the vicinity Of
Miles City. 400 miles This would solve
the problem of an approach to the Pa
cific coast line from the south and
southeast. Without such line business
from south and southeast Of Sioux City,
including passengers and freight. to
and from st. Louis and the great Mis-
souri, river markets. would be obliged to
pass through Sioux City and go north
from Aberdeen, making a right angle
connection. This, 1t is declared, could
not hope to attract through business in
competition with the Montana line OF
the Burlington, which leaves Omaha
and makes for Montana and the north
Pacific coast in direct diagonal line.

who are known gormands. for / knew
man from Ohio who poured golden
syrup over ham and eggs and swore
that it was the only way to eat ham.
But the Yuma Indian is catholic in
his tastes. We had been working a
number of them on the Colorado river
and had promised to feed them. / went
into Yuma and secured all the canned
goods l could, including salmon, beef,
mutton, tongue. asparagus, carrots,
corn, apricot. peach. blackberry; in fact
everything that was canned.
"The Indians accepted the food with
out even a grunt. They then built a
fire. Got an enormous caldron, emptied
all the cans into the pot. cooked the
contents till it was boiling hot, and
then partook of the feast with evident
relish.

are NOT called for within a stated time
the same will be sold to pay costs.

night from the east on schedule time,
but since then there has been no
other trains OF any kind operated on
this division owing to the floods be-
tween Portland and Pueblo. Just how
serious the damage to the roadbed Is
it is difficult to ascertain, but the in
dications are that traffic will not be
resumed until late hour this even

been standing in the yards here all
day waiting for repairs to be made to
the track in order that they may re-

The public schools of Canon City
South Canon, Lincoln Park East
Canon, Park Center and Four Mile
opened this morning for the current
years work with a large enrolment
of pupils. At all of the buildings
pupils were in evidence before the
time for study to begin in order that
they might be given proper assign
ment and make acquaintance of their
teachers and class associates. While
there has of necessity been some con-
fusion at the different schools to-
day all of the tangles will be straight
ened out in a short time and matters
will proceed satisfactorily and
smoothly. With skilled instructors and
a thoroughly modern equipment the
local schools are expected to accom-
plish a great deal in an educational
way this year, in fact, the outlook was
never more encouraging than it 10 at
the present time.
The Canon City and South Canon
public schools occupy high rank in the
educational system Of the state. and.
BY a generous cooperation on the part
Of pupils and patrons. can be made
